Quoted from Eastendmariner
For me it has to be this result
18 December 1979
Grimsby Town     0–2     Wolverhampton Wanderers
Hibbitt Goal (pen.)'
Richards Goal
Baseball Ground, Derby
Attendance: 16,475

Not a pen yard or so outside the box  Robbed I was convinced we had our name the cup

The result at  Burton which ended in Defeat which resulted in Non League football  very sad day for the club . The ref at Wembley 2015 shocking  not to send of the Bristol Rovers keeper


Was not allowed to go to the 2nd replay at the baseball ground, had to go to a Xmas party at Courtaulds.
Kept asking for score updates, gutted when I found the the final score, not even a pressie from Santa, could cheer me up, cannot remember what it was.

Hasn't anybody mentioned Operation Promotion yet? That must be the worst as certain board members said so

Quoted from Madeleymariner
At home to Bolton promotion 3 pointer, Sean Cunnington clean through on goal legged up from behind in the penalty area. linesman did his job and waved his flag for  2 or 3 mins for a really blatant penalty and the ref totally ignored him and despite protests from players refused to go and speak to him, Wonder if it was Ross Joyces dad or something. Think its on Youtube somewhere.
Another cracker salford away this year, scored from a direct free kick ref gave it, everyone headed back for the restart then after an ear battering from Salford manager, a couple of mins later the 4th official overuled the ref as we had a player on the end of the wall, first time Ive ever known a 4th official make decisions on the pitch based on a manager complaining to them


That Bolton game error was appalling. Partial redress was made when we beat them to the last automatic promotion spot by beating Exeter on the final day. Not sure whether they won the play-offs either...

Quoted from Boris Johnson
Off field The Bonetti Incident, and George Kerr resigningn half way through the 79-80 Championship winning season

The Rovers Keeper and Cunnington incidents, as mentioned

Funny never had an issue with Neilsen being sent off


According to the brilliant "Champions" book which I finally got my hands on during the week Kerr definitely did NOT resign half way through the 79/80 promotion season.

What’s going on there? Town fans in the Osmond, Hull in the Pontoon.

I was only two years old at the time so a little before my time. It looks weird.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

I remember the Bolton decision as one of the worst I've ever seen although it was outside the box as far as I recall. The linesman waved for the foul the ref said play on but the linesman continued to wave as it was so utterlybblatant a foul, the ref pointer at him specifically and waved play on again. Didn't effect the outcome of the season though.

Bristol rovers non sending off was perhaps the most unjust decision
