There was a 1-5 defeat to villa I remember at home when the fan entered the pitch

 

0-5 to bolton under Taylor

 

Think we lost to Derby maybe 1-3 at filbert st as well under Taylor 

I think the Villa one was 5-0. When Ian Walker got in a scrap with a pitch invader. In the cup, I think.

It was in the Prem. under Micky Adams in the relegation season. I remember in the kop fans singing 'let's all have a disco' in jest as the fifth goal went in! SOuthampton did the same last Friday when we were 0-9 up - to their credit!! 

[Blueman1967]

Man City (A)5 - 0 1990s

Middlesboro (A)6 - 0 1990s

Newcastle 5 - 4(A) remember that one

Barnsley 3 - 0 (A)about thirty years ago

Spurs 6 - 1 (H)

 

I could list a few more, then you realize what a good team we have got now, think paying you dues come to mind on these games, , and never walked out on any of those games.

You were right - it was a league match. I think I got mixed up because Villa knocked us out the cup in that season.

Don't think anyone mentioned 2-6 Birmingham yet.

Kenny Burns and co destroyed us on an ice rink. December 1976.

Remember this one vividly - not only for the crapness of our display (which was truly dire), but mainly for my mate getting the ball full in the chops as he stood beside me in the Popular Side. He was concentrating on lighting a fag (still a widespread practise in those wilder times) so wasn't paying attention to the game momentarily.

Laugh? Well, now that you mention it...

The problem we had in the first half, when we were 4-0 down, was that we wore football boots with long studs and were slipping all over the place- Birmingham went for boots that were better suited to the icy conditions. The match was on MOTD- our tent was a guarantee that the game would go ahead

[Anorak]

A minor one,  but vague memories of being really dejected after a 4-3 home defeat to Wimbledon in the 94/95 season. If memory serves I think we may have been 3-1 up and conceded 3 in the last 20 minutes. Everybody knew relegation was a certainty and it was a meaningless game but after a season of hopelessness that was my breaking point.

[HybridFox]

Wasn't an embarassment on the scoreline but that Cardiff play off defeat was horrible. Probably the most gutted I've been.

The only game I’ve ever left early from.

 

Last East Mids derby at Filbert Street and effectively confirmed relegation from what I remember. Thought it was 3-0 to them though.

There's been two 5-4 at Newcastle. The horribly unfair shearer hattrick / Matt Elliott debut. And my second ever away game in the 80s when Gary McAllister and Kevin Campbell sent us 4-3 up after being 3-1 down. Mark Mcghee scoring the fifth in Injury time

The Shearer game finished 4-3, a game etched on my mind, having watched it unfold on Sky.

 

I was at the much mentioned 7-1 at Sheffield W in 1992, I remember it fondly because of the celebration when Bobby Davison scored - good humour in adversity.

5-0 away at Oxford in the Hamilton era

This is the worst I have seen. Oxford were a decent side then (using Robert Maxwell's money as chairman); game was at the Manor Ground< Oxford's old ground before the 3 sided Kassam "stadium".

Yes, quite right. 

 

Ody enough I think the 5-4 defeat in the 80s was followed by a 5-4 home win the next season. Though this is very probably wrong. Somebody over 40 can prob correct me

Not sure, but I remember both. The 5-4 win had 2 hat tricks, David Kelly and Mick Quinn.

[JJD_LCFC]

Bolton under Peter Taylor. 

 

Wycombe semi final

 

Wolves home Michael Kighlty dominated us and celebrated in front of our home supporters. Think Wolves beat us 4-1 in the championship.

Only ticket I could get was next to the villa fans. Humiliating.

[foxinsox]

While being thrashed is always embarrassing, and I have been at some of the matches cited, losing a match from a winning position is more crushing.

 

Being 3 nil up against Wolves Away in October 2003, and losing 4:3 was a painful experience, and emblematic of that season.

Repped that for use of the word 'emblematic' alone...

I watched that game from Bentleys roof (£5) and I don’t think I’d ever seen Filbert Street empty so quickly.Their was no way back after that one.I seem to remember Derby having a loan keeper who was some what unconventional.Still kept a clean sheet though.

Didn’t Big Sam manipulate a new offside rule in that game? We were all over the place and couldn’t work out what they were doing!

Wycombe and villa game when walker pushed the fan

In terms of scorelines 6-0 at Middlesbrough in 1990 / 1991 and 7-1 at Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle - I think both were in 1993 - results wise 1-0 to Harlow and then 3-1 against Exeter the following year in 1981 spring to mind - supporters of a certain vintage have definitely paid their penance 

I was at the 7-1 Sheffield Wednesday league cup match, I think David Hirst got a hatrick against us.

You’re thinking of a different game against Bolton, presumably the 03/04 season.
 

I know the one you mean as they scored from having at least two players standing on the goal line when the kick was taken. Pretty sure it was at the Walker’s though. 
 

Quick google and I think it was this one - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3456283.stm

I was there.  Heavily bearded Birmingham team depressed me.

 

My dad, who has bee  somewhat converted recently by me and my brother, is a Birmingham fan.  When he moved to Sharnford and found himself with kids, he took us to our local team as he had gone to his.  I was only 9 but i remember him being smug on  that day.

 

I have nothing against beards.

Yes that’s the one, bloody hell, my memory, I thought we were thrashed that day.
