I think the current crop, particularly the kids, are getting quite a bit of sympathy with what went on at the start of this season and back end of last but we've had a lot of players, particularly, in fact wholly defenders and goal keepers who got dog's abuse every time they were named. Plenty of times I felt for the likes of Aiden Davison who got stick for just not being Keith Brannagan. People forget he was in goal for many of our giant killing exploits.

I still can’t remember anyone being singled out in recent times (last 10 years) even the claydog it was more laughter, despair than anything angry. I think as a fan base we have let a lot of people off for years. I think the only one who ended up with pelters was perhaps Dean Moxey. I never minded Davidson or Steve Banks (similar) I preferred them as back up goalies though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Chelsea games - we took a shed load (see what I did there) to Stamford Bridge and nearly won it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 6-0 down at Notts at half time so it could have been a lot worse. There was a photo of the 1,500 or so Bolton fans at Notts in a WanderersWorldwide fanzine.Seem to remember there were portacabins for bogs under the stand which weren't suitable for such a large following That Notts County game, bloody wierd. They put us in a tiny terrace (with the big open terrace unoccupied) and it was rammed. I'd say 2k, not much off half the crowd. I seem to remember hundreds of us had those blue and white peak caps on that were a fashion at the time. 6-0 at half time against a team at bottom of league. Unbelievable. And we won the 2nd half and went mad when we scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowball Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Aston Villa in semi should have been first & last team to play in Final at old wembley. Thanks deano Notts County League Cup 0-6 at half time iirc? Oldham in FA Cup after beating big boys typical Bolton Watford in play offs. Was sure we were going to win that one Black Sunday Didnt go Stoke game or Lisbon or theyd be on here so would Reading & Saturday & Barry Knightgate.

MancWanderer Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Stoke at Wembley only one for me. Went there with such hope that it was crushing Black Sunday was a bit meh. No massive surprise so it didn’t mean a lot For me it’s never really been the scoreline that’s been the worst bit. It’s games like the 2-2 at Tranmere that denied us the 100 points/goals and THAT 0-1 at Wigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Saturday was the first time I've seen us concede 7. Black Sunday and Notts County were my only 6ers. The Notts County one was bizarre, where we kept kicking off, losing possession and then conceding. I'm sure we conceded 5 in 7 minutes (Harkouk hat trick?) but might be mis remembering that. Seen a few 5's sadly. The one at QPR on the plastic was 7-1. Wayne Foster scored for us iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all moan about referees being shit or favouring the other team somewhat, but that is the only game of any sort I have been to were the referee had been blatantly cheating for 1 side , wasn't Sheepshanks a bigwig in the F.A at the time and not long after Knight was made a Premier League Referee. On the hammering front , Tranmere in the League Cup semi was Fucking dire , also numerous Forest/derby hammering, and Mansfield away 0-4 we were top and they were rock bottom 1991 , oh and Rotherham.

It was a local semi final or final i think and we'd been undefeated for about around 20+ games and were massive favourites. I think it may have been the 99 points and 100 goal season. I’m really struggling to think of which game you mean here Micheal. We weren’t in the Sherpa van or whatever during that season and I cant remember us playing at Bloomfield, bar a friendly from 1993 (1-1, reeves) right up until the prem game under coyle.

gonzo Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Accy was bad but not a patch on others. Just a bad day at the office for me. It’s not like it’s been coming and we’ve bee cut wide open ever week. You won’t be stoke for embarrassment. On Telly, odds on favourites, at Wembley, semi final. Ticks every box. Not to mention what it started. Bristol was shocking as it just summed up what we were. Squad full of shit house mercenaries that didn’t give two fucks. Apathy reigned, everyone had had enough. Was like putting a dog down. I didn’t go to a game after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
