A game you still simply can't watch again

Sun Mar 14, 2021 12:14 pm

For me there are two games I simply can't watch on TV, even though they are on Sky on a semi regular basis.

Blackpool v City play off and Cardiff v Wolves when we missed two pens.

Dobt mind the Liverpool or Pompey finals as they were potentially expected losses.

In my younger days a defeat that most upset me for years was the 2-1 defeat at the Vetch around 1980 when David Giles got a last minute winner. I was about 12 years old and my whole world was about to collapse!

The two you mentioned as well as when Swansea thrashed us is in Premier League when Ole was in charge. Think it was Monk's first game as their manager.


In fact, you could throw in the defeat at Sunderland that season which pretty much relegated us.

Mine will collapse this Saturday if the scum complete the first ever double over us.

I don't watch any games we've lost.

Funny you mentioned this, Friday sky showed a re-run of the playoff semi 2nd leg against Leicester at home. The first thing that struck me was the atmosphere it was electric.

First 20 minutes we should've been out of sight we played some amazing football, but all too common under Dave Jones we got the goal sat back and nearly bottled it.

It was a great game though had everything probably the one game we lost that I can still watch.

The playoff final after taking the lead twice is still the hardest one to take, if we had a defence like we have now we would've gone up easily that season.

I still enjoy the Wolves game as love watching Warnock giving beans at the end to their manager on our pitch and the fact we went up with them.
