Memories - the ‘Weasel’

Remember this?

I nearly got banned from one of the local Swindon pubs celebrating this - absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic goal
One of the best City goals I’ve ever seen

 

Some finish that was for a defender.

 

It was bit like a clearance rather than a shot, still gaining speed as it hit the net.

 

We'd have beaten Hull in the final if we could have played the same 11.
Palace were flying coming into the playoffs and were favourites to go up. The way we played at Palace that day was the best we'd played the entire season.
Oh Boom Boom............if you'd only played at Wembley.

And if your Granny had......

 

Plus Orr getting the clattering of his life didn’t help either. Happened right in front of me and it was horrible.

 

R&W
It happened in front of me, I was on the 18yard line.
I'll never understand GJ replacing Brad by taking Marv from midfield to RB.

 

I was behind the goal.
Orr’s nose bled like a tap. It literally poured out of him. I felt quite sick.
I’m amazed he carried on at all. It turned out he had a fractured cheekbone.
As you rightly pointed out; it all started with McCoombe’s illness.
Whatever GJ did was clearly wrong or we would have won, but his hand was forced by that event and then compounded by the injury to one of our most trusted and experienced players.
