    As a follow on from the other thread, here is it's little brother.

    Apart from any defeats at home to the binners, the ones that stick in my somewhat elderly mind, are when we lost to Bradford at home in the cup, under John Bond, and also a 0 - 4 thumping by Wolves, also under John Bond.

    The Bradford game was galling because we were expected to walk it, and Bradford had tried to get the game called off because they were struggling to get a team together.

    Over to you lads and ladesses.......

    The 2-0 game against Coventry, when Fotheringham stuck his finger up at the Barclay, I remember we never got the ball out of our half we were terrible absolute amateurs. I went for a drink about 10 minutes before half time. Never ever done that in my life with the exception of the game below.

    That result we all know the one, but the season ticket ripping scene made my day I was absolutely furious. Allow back the Stowmarket two!

    If i could have got to Gunn, there'd have been another fat ****er stuffing his ticket down his throat!
    That game still felt more sureal that bad, like a dream?
    My first ever game i can remember was with my dad years ago, couldn't have been more that 6 or 7, a mid week game v Leyton Orient and we lost 1-0 to an 89th min goal.....got to ask yourself, how the **** did i get hooked after that ?!!

    It was dreadful your right it was like a nightmare only without the bit when you wake up, I tried to forget about it then received a series of wind up texts of various people, that was a long journey home.

    Do any of you remember Gunn going undercover at the return game at Colchesters tin hut ground?

    Caught up in the middle of the punch up? Or the old key or lighter in the knuckles trick and windmilling it?

    Either of these two

    1. Spurs last time we were in the Premier League. We lost 2-0 and it is has the distinction of being the only game I have ever left early, we were that bad.

    2. Leyton Orient in the FA Cup last season. It was the chance to progress and for some of the fringe players to impress. Except they didn't. In fact in the case of Mr McNamee he never pulled on a yellow shirt again.

    7-1

    Don't even want to think about how I felt, it's bittersweet now, but at the time it was horrendous

    You can't beat a bit of "windmilling in" ! God the lads i used to go away with in my early twenties, they felt cheated if there wasn't a bundle at the end of the night, usually in some **** hole pub in either Newmarket or Grantham, depending of wether we'd been North or South!

    I think the 4-1 against Burnley which resulted in Worthington getting the sack. I always had a lot of respect for Worthington as a manager, and whilst things were bad, I thought the decision to sack him was taken rashly at the time. The game was so dire though, the players knew he was going, the performance was dreadful, and the crowd booed pretty much the whole way through, even when we scored. And then to compound the misery I got stuck in a car park afterwards for 3 hours.
