Most demoralising and upsetting defeats ever

By all accounts, last night's defeat against Brighton (I wasn't there so I don't know) was a pretty shocking performance. But it has occurred in a season where we've been promoted so the pain will be short-lived.

 

However, I'd be interested to know what were the worst, most painful defeats that other posters have witnessed. The ones which made you throw your season-ticket at the dugout or vow on leaving the ground never to return again, or just despair at football's sheer perversity and unfairness. And let's face it, there's no shortage of choice here for Leicester fans.

 

To get the ball rolling, here's my top (or bottom) 10.

 

08/01/79 - Harlow Town (a) FA Cup 3rd round replay. Lost 1-0 (Ou worst humiliation)

 

03/04/82 - Tottenham Hotspur FA Cup Semi Final at Villa Park. Lost 2-0

 

10/04/89 - Wolves (a) Div 2. Lost 5-0 (A Steve Bull hat-trick)

 

29/09/90 - Middlesbrough (a) Div 2. Lost 6-0 (Walsh sent off)

 

27/04/91 - Swindon (a) Div 2. Lost 5-2 (Thought we were down after this one)

 

29/09/91 - Cambridge (a) Div 2. Lost 5-1 (4-0 down at half-time but at least we drew the 2nd half)

 

31/05/93 - Swindon Play Off Final at Wembley. Lost 4-3 (Robbed by a ref for the 2nd year running)

 

02/10/94 - Brighton (h) League Cup. Lost 2-0. (Jimmy Greaves slaughtered us on the telly later)

 

24/02/97 - Newcastle (a) PL. Lost 4-3 (We were 3-1 up but Shearer scored a hat-trick)

 

05/02/00 - Chelsea (a) FA Cup 5th round replay. Lost 2-1 (The game which got Danny Baker banned from the BBC)

Barnsley away last year and at home the previous year. Gutted at how shit we were in those and the away game last year told me we definitely weren't going up. Awful.

But...who gives a **** we're leicester boys and we're going up :D

fa cup defeat v Wycombe..... I can remember actually being in tears at this as a young lad

4-3 defeat v wolves...... relegation season after being 3 nil up at half time, a game that will live with me to my grave, for all the wrong reasons

5-0 defeat v villa.....same season, 0-0 at half time, never seen a side concede so many goals In such a short time

the 0-5 season opener against Bolton. Not just the result, but the fact that my youngest son was seriously ill in hospital, and I was looking for some light relief from the boys. They didn't quite deliver.

Good point about last night's shambles soon being forgotten amidst the joy

5-0 Bolton first game of the season second season under Taylor.

4-1 Ipswich 1993/1994 relegation 6 pointer we truly ****ed up.

5-1 away at Forest. Worst part was it was an early kick-off so we had more of the day to feel shite about it after it happened.

 

I don't ever wanna feeeeeeeeeeel, like I did that day...

Going from 2-1 up to 3-2 loss in time added on at Boro in our last Prem season. Such a waste

 

We drew that game 3 all.

 

3-1 up in injury time and conceded 2.

Wycombe FA Cup.

But we now look like we have recovered from that.

 

Coupled with Taylor that has to be the result that has most hurt us.

 

Admin and a downward spiral ever since yes we had one year back in the prem.

But we could not recover from that defeat and what Taylor did to us.

Watford in the play offs is a pretty obvious one. Definitely top of my list.

But the plus from that game.

 

 

It made us stronger.

Remembered that being 3-3 after being 3-1 up going into injury time?

Edit - beaten to it!

Yes, thinking about it the cup defeat against Wycombe was probably the most damaging defeat in our history. We still haven't fully recovered now. But did it feel quite that bad at the time? I'm not sure it did.

1-0 vs Hull in the Pleat days and most games with Tayloe as boss, some of those away games under him we didn't even have an attempt on goal including the warm ups also getting stuffed by Ipswich 4-1 where it seemed about -20 on New years day.

Think you will find this ended up being 3 3 we were 3 1 up going into injury time of which there was only 3 minutes. They scored twice in the last minute to make it 3 3.

Only with hindsight.

But other than Harlow most if not all defeats mentioned are by teams in the same league that is not surprising.

But a prem loss to a div 1 side and then the knock on effect.

 

Not only did it destroy our season it nearly destroyed our club.
