Orange seat Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 I just knew it'd be this video when I saw the topic title. Don't think I've ever been so drained in my life mentally and physically after that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 Never a penalty, the cheating bastards. Tbf Swindon were one of the worse Premier League teams in history, it could so easily have been us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 The only game I've ever attended (until end season 2016/17) where I've shed a tear. In this game, it was a few tears. Ones of elation, followed by shock and finally anger that such an incredible comeback could be thwarted by such a blatant dive. I grew up watching Steve Thompson and how he could spray the ball around the midfield so effortlessly. My favourite type of player. Garry Parker was another.

Loved watching Thommo play football, probably my favourite player as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4DD0gg Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 As a young lad seeing that was heart braking, far more so than the blackburn defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 The best comeback of all time ruined by a cheat. still the only time a team has come back from 3 goals down to equalise at Wembley I believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joachim1965 Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 Was behind the goal and it went absolutely mental when Thompson slid in the third goal. Still gives me goosebumps now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 Robbed. We were #fearless many years ago I was so pissed at Wembley that day it's all a bit of a blur But I do remember Glen Hoddle was different class. Although he was coming to the end of his career, some of the passes he made were a joy to behold. We had a decent team back then - and Lee Philpott bless him.

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 He dived. i could only see 1 team winning after we equalised (us) absolutely devastated at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 Still angry now! Well, perhaps i would be if it weren't for the last 3 years. Awesome comeback and Thompson's finish one of the best I've ever seen from a city player, lovely. Bastards. Much worse than the Blackburn dive because of the comeback being ruined.

tom27111 Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 I was a 13 year old kid at that game, watching with my parents. When we equalised, I was so worked up, I ran to the concourse and threw up over a balcony. Heartbroken. Especially after the year before, another dodgy pen. Made the next year so worthwhile. But the Palace game in 96 was my favourite. No drink on the coach...hmm, watch out, we got a badass 16 year old over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 Is it just me or does anyone else remember that just after Thomo's equaliser David Oldfield was nearly through on goal to make it 4-3? Seriously think I might have had a heart attack if he'd scored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell sprout Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 Must admit I believe things happen for a reason,and had we won promotion that day we may not have experienced last season, im sure to some that sounds daft but I do believe that saying 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger',and for the good and bad times after that it created the greatest of escapes and the title winning season we saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 Was that the season we beat Pompey at the City Ground in the playoff semi? Joachim scored I think 1-0? While we were busy erecting the Carling Stand of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to Leicester Fosse in 1884, had we done 1 single thing differently, last season wouldn't have happened. The butterfly effect. The pain was worth the pleasure.

tom27111 Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 And I'll add that as a kid growing up, Gary Mills was my hero. I believe the kids would say #baller Tommy Wright was decent, Walshie was a hero, but Mills was a god. Anyone with me or???? He pretty much played anywhere. And I'm pretty sure he scored a goal against Watford where he got the ball on the edge of his own box, beat all the opposition and scored. Can anyone verify that or is it just a weird childhood memory? Around 1992ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livid Posted 27 May 2017 Share Posted 27 May 2017 When our third went in there were the craziest celebrations I've ever seen at a city match. Everyone I know who was there say they ended up rows away from where they were sitting. Then got stuck on the Wembley car park surrounded by gloating Swindon fans.
