EGBFitness Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 Anyone got any stories they want to share home/away? I was only 7 when we last played Atletico so can remember very little. Went to the home leg and managed to get a signed programme from all the Atletico players. Just watched highlights on YouTube and we was robbed, Parkers sending off was a joke and how Izzet never won a penalty is incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboFox Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 I couldn't stand up to cheer because I was weighed down by the sheer amount of material that the replica kits were made from. Those f**kers were seriously baggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertstreet Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 that game made 3 year old me cry, hope we absolutely thrash them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waller5 Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 It really was a travesty ...... how that ref wasn't match fixing is still a mystery to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart10 Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 It was a great day away,sitting out in that big square boozing all day in the sun,set us up nicely to get batoned by the police at the ground!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnfox Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 I was at the home game, i have vague memories of Christian Vieri hitting the bar but Garry Parker's sending off was the stand out moment. To this day the most ridiculous sending off I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Shep Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 I was at the home game and we were pretty much matching them until that cheating scumbag ref decided he wanted to count his money sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestan Pance Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 Yeah I was also at the home leg. The atmosphere on Tuesday was decent but it was a tea party compared to 20 years ago. I remember Atletico only brought about 50 fans with them for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo4joe Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 the second leg was a joke. If I remember rightly the ref never reffed another European game after that? That's how bad he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Eatfood Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 I was 14 at the time and a few days before the match my Dad had caught me smoking. I got one of those 'I'm disappointed' lectures rather than an angry rant. Anyway, sitting in the East Stand pre-match my Dad turned to me and asked me if I'd stopped smoking, and obviously being a lying little bastard I replied, "Course Dad". Then he asked me if I promised on Leicester going through that night that I'd stopped and yet again, being a deceitful little toe rag I replied, "I promise". So there you have it, the appalling luck that night and all the dodgy refereeing was down to my lie. Sorry everyone. I have actually stopped smoking now.

HighPeakFox Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 Went with my brother, his wife had died recently, so was hoping for something positive. There was a TV shot of the Kop after the second goal went in, we could both be seen looking gutted and in shock. Never seen reffing like it since, I'm glad to say.

Legend_in_blue Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 I think it was that Jose Mari - brings a whole new meaning to the word "dive" in a football game. That's what I remember over the two games. Dive, dive, dive and dive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domsdad Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 Went with a few friends not on an organised trip. We went to the ground during the day to have a look around and bought some scarves and a football from a bloke on a kind of market stall. With ball in hand I was walking round the ground and spotted an entrance right through to the pitch. We did no more than wander through on to the pitch and had some shots shooting into the net that Marshy scored in! It was only when the tannoy announcer said " English, get off the pitch" that we left! Fantastic experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karljohn Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 Dreadful trip out on the coach. Remember Claridge being a sub then subbed off I think. Juninho fell over and won a penalty. Also has some annoying cvnt called Kiko up top. 2nd leg muzzy had 3 stonewall pens turned down. We owe these big style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxer Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 I was only a nipper but I remember my dads cousin showing me a photo that he's taken of the scoreboard when we went 1-0 up through Marshall - he was saying he'll probably never see anything like it again as a Leicester fan. Then the home leg. Devastating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Boos Up Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 Red and white stripes. I was at this and Stoke. Hopes and dreams died with those colours and still haunt me. Some wrongs need to be put right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onekeithweller Posted 17 March 2017 Share Posted 17 March 2017 I'm still angry. The most corrupt officiating I've ever witnessed and if I remember correctly no investigation afterwards. My memory is that we played superbly but in the words of O'God "It was a game we couldn't win". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
