It's a bit of the "Where were you on 9/11?" or "Where were you when JFK got shot?" type moment for Norwich city. [video=youtube;KDM88n9ZHk0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDM88n9ZHk0&feature=related[/video] wherever you were in the world you can always tell a story of how you reacted. It was a kind of "Perfect Storm" moment and led to the biggest outpouring of emotion I think I've seen at a Norwich game. I was at the game, Jarrold Stand, 2-2 and Robbie Savage comes off in injury time. We have to win to keep momentum up for automatic promotion. Savage, in his last away game, applauds the Derby corwd, milking it and blatantly wasting time. The guy next to me is losing it, spouting all manner of negatives "This is it, we can't do it" The atmosphere at this point was about as thick as sponge pudding, you could feel it pretty bad. I turned to him and screamed "WE WILL GET ONE MORE CHANCE!" and we certainly did. The crowd went absolutely balistic. I can remember grabbing both people beside me and feeling the stand literally shaking through my feet, then I didn't feel it anymore as I was hoisted up and fell forward but managed to stay in my row (kind of) The singing was intense and we sang for a good time after the whistle. After it had calmed down I was speechless, just standing in a vacating stand just staring at the pitch. What we witnessed that day was a miracle, and something we can tell the grandkids. Thats what footballs all about folks So thats my story, so where were YOU when simeon scored?
I was in my lounge and ran outside and started going crazy - then the next door neighbours peered over the fence and started laughing at me but it made me go even more crazy. We still laugh about that day all the time.
I was at home watching a very poor stream with a foreign commentator and when that goal inched its way in, in short, jerky movements, I slumped in my chair wondering if I dare believe what I'd just seen! I clicked onto BBC website and after about 100 hours our score changed to 3 - 2, then I went ballistic, running round the house, up and down the stairs! Unbelievable
I was on a ferry to france with no Internet at all when I got on we were 2-2. I had to wait an hour nervously hoping, I think it must have cost me about a fiver in data to find out once I got to France.
I'd just got home from work (bloody supermarkets being open on bank holidays!), I'd dashed inside and turned the TV on just in time to see this on football focus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSx7dPHnofM I went nuts and scared the living daylights out of my girlfriend. I didn't hear the Goreham/Adams classic until Canary Call as I refuse to listen to games live as every game I've listened to in the last three years has ended up in defeat. The only one that didn't was the 5-1 at Portaloo Road and even then I tuned in just in time to hear Bullard score
I had been kicked in to the bedroom by the missus cause she gets fed up with me listening to in the living room (live in a flat), I was f-ing and blinding when savage was taking his time but my god when that goal went in i went absalutely ballistic, jumping up and down on the bed like a kid... dear o dear when i think back about that do i have a chuckle cos the missus had only changed the bed clothes that day I tell you what, the commentry must be as famous as the goal!!
I was sulking in the study watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSx7dPHnofM Then I went ****ing mental.
Where were you when Jackson scored against Portsmouth? - behind the goal. Going ****ing mental. Great times thanks to Paul Lambert.
had to get the bus back from norfolk to London that afternoon, followed it on a crappy old portable radio and head phones, everyone had got off the bus and started to go into the destination tube on london outskirts, waited at back of empty bus for final moments, then ran up and down the bus shouting '****KKKKK YESSSSSS FUCCKKKK YESSS!!!!' whilst the queue of people looked at me from outside. Bus driver asked me to get off his bus, and stop swearing. Joined queue with 30 odd people staring at me as i grinned like an idiot.
I was in the city stand with my daughter. I just remember jumping up and down like a loon and ending up with her in a hug/headlock by the end of it. I know for a fact I was shaking with adrenaline all the rest of the day. Had a rather sore throat too.
Ay... After we clinched promotion I was watching this and some other clips on utube, 1p5wich, Portsmouth, Forest etc and my three year old son came in and said, "daddy, why are you crying?"
I was in the N and P (Nice and Peaceful), I didn't quite see what was going on but as soon as everybody leapt up I knew we had scored and I cheered the loudest I ever had at Carrow Road; even though cheering when we score is a reflex action to me, no matter where I am. Carrow Road was the loudest it had ever been since we had beaten Manchester United. A lot of credit has to go to Robbie Savage for that goal don't forget! Almost feel like he deserved a runners-up medal for his contribution. O, and sorry Dave, it had to be said. Dave and running seems like an oxymoron!
I was in the Jarrold stand, block h. when i got back to the car i really laughed at the radio comentry!! clasic from neil and goreham!!
i was in heaven* *also known as the barclay lower. i was upside down! everyone surged forward and i can honestly say it was the most pleasant trampling-to-near-death experience of my life
Was listening on Canary Player as can't receive radio Norfolk at home (north norfolk coast) and was sitting at my desk fiddling with the poota listening with the wife and didn't know what to think as the commentary went NUTS and then when it became clear it was in as almost the last kick of stoppage time I shouted so loudly that both my children (then 4 and 2) started crying and by that point I pretty much was as well. I am sure I am not alone in that I play that clip a LOT there's nothing like it if you're feeling a bit down, you can't help buy smile (unless you're an Ipswich fan of course!)
I was in the N&P third row from front on LHS as viewed from the pitch. I was with my 7 year old for his first match. My Mrs and elder son were in the park outside the ground. When the goal went in there was absolute pandamonium. My wife wondered what the hell was going on but then Samba De Janiro came on and she knew. Unbelievable afternoon.
