    I'd forgotten too.   Being a fan isn't about a day in the sun.   Folk being negative about an FA cup semi final defeat need to get a grip.

  • Thing is we beat arsenal 2-1 a week later and the winner, in the last minute, meant everything to tamir Cohen

My worst experience as a Bolton fan, not helped by a nobhead from school- formally a Munich but now a Stoke fan like his Dad somehow getting hold of my number and texting me shit throughout the game. I saw him after the match and nearly ended up decking the prick.

That day didnt happen. Has been wiped from my memory.

My last live game before I emigrated.

 

Watched us beat Arsenal the week after... that's the one I remember.

Terrible day...... Gonk showed up.

While it was most definitely their day and everything they hit seemed to go in, some of them goals were absolutely attrocious. So typical of Coyle's inept tactics or lack of. I heard Kevin Davies on the radio the other week talking up his mate Sean Dyche as being someone he imagines who works hard on the training ground and garners respect from his dressing room, and then went onto mention how relaxed training and tactics were under Coyle.

 

As for the goals, regardless of it being on his weaker foot, what on earth was Robinson thinking passing it across his the edge of his own box in a crowded area?! 

How did Kenwynne Jones ghost in unnoticed for the third which killed us off? He was the only man forward FFS. Steinsson must've known he was in behind and just ignored him.

 

The fifth was just calamitous defending. Jones gets it across with ease, they have a man free who misses the ball 6 yards out, and yet they still have Walters in behind who gets lucky with the deflection. 

 

On the other hand, the second was fortunate that it dropped to Huth and Walters took the fourth really well, but it was their day and everything just went their way.

 

And that settles it, together with the Ipswich play off final and Deano's miss at Wembley, I'm never watching that again. 

A great day out ruined by football.

Today was the first time I'd watched the goals back. Wish I hadn't, just got really fed up. Horrific, depressing, gut-wrenching, miserable and so on...

 

Booo :(

not that it matters like, but the state on Huth on Davies on the first highlight, before the Cahill shot, hand in his face, dirty twat...

I saw them live and I'm never watching them again.

We had a great weekend though. Supping champagne on a balcony whilst watching the marathon on the morning of the match full of hope and expectation was the highlight.

We as a football club have never recovered from that day.

 

The alarm bells were ringing yet everybody chose to ignore them.

I lost my passion for football that day

 

Never have I felt so embarrassed, disgusted and ashamed to be a Bolton fan than that day

 

Feel sorry for them stoke fans I saw afterwards

 this and what Anewman said in is first line

I'd forgotten about it, what did Stoke gain? Fuck all except raised expectations where they've ended up with Mark Hughes, a step sideways if not backwards.

I've never watched that back.

 

I lost a lot of enthusiasm/passion for the game around that point and haven't really gone to many matches since.

 

Starting to get a little bit of back recently as my daughter wants to go more and more and reading about our hardcore away following is rekindling my desire to go again.

London was forgiven after we beat QPR 4-0. Thanks to Anewman for last minute train ticket... It was a glorious opportunity, and real eye opener

Everything the club stood for in my eyes, pride, spirit, never say die attitude got sucked out of everyone and everything associated with the club that day

 

Yet to return and I can't see when it will

Bar 90 minutes of football it was a great day out! I can still remember the silence in our end in the 2nd half, the Bolton fans that remained weren't even talking to one another.

The only game I've ever left before the end.

 

I wanted to go at half time, but my mates wouldn't come with me. Soon as the 5th hit the net we all buggered off.

Stayed to the end, but never ever watched it again - great day ruined by the football.

Terrible day...... Gonk showed up.

I bought you your tea you cunt!

Same.

 

That's the first time I've seen those goals since that day. I was sat right next to the segregation where the Stoke fans were. It was so painful. The worst was that I think they pitied us at the final whistle, those who had stayed for the full 90 at least.

Where the fook was our midfield that day?

Then we got back to the Spinners in Adlington just as the highlights show was starting. Fuck me, bad bad times

Special water helped me forget the whole match
