Danelaw Rams Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 We've had a few memorable ones over the years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Thing is the BBG was often in a far worse state - with the mud and then the sand. I remember one match, I think against those from down the road, where it was essentially a beach. But yeah, that was from the days I got there often, Gerry Daly was one of the few bright sparks from that dark era. Where did it all go wrong? Well Tommy Doc for one thing but we'd better not start on that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TramRam Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I remember that penalty well, 3 that will stick in my mind, 1. Against Rotherham for us to win the game and promotion, Why was it given, 2. Chris Martins that wasn't given, At Burnley being sent of for a dive...when he was tripped...the Ref sometime after admitting his mistake...Bobby Madley?, 3. Franny Lee against Leeds, Tripping himself in the box to win a penalty...sometime after there was fun and games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I remember Franny tripping over outside the area against his old club and crawling into the area on his hands and knees. The whole crowd (including City fans) loved it. Francis looked hurt at not being awarded a penalty! Nearly as entertaining as his middleweight bout against Norman!

Can't remember what his cocky answer was but it was not his fault, the club was in a mess apparently.. What's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just read Roy Mac's book - very illuminating. A couple of quid (for kindle version) well spent, especially during lockdown. The club was on the slide but he certainly gave it an effing big shove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dordogne-Ram Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Colin Boulton's save in the penalty shoot-out to send us through against Athletico Madrid (away), and his subsequent celebration! Inigo Idiakez shoot-out miss at PP for Southampton - that was some occasion in spite of the absolute deluge! And as above, the "missing" penalty spot v. Man. City at the BBG.

Look at Idiakez's face and body language just before ad just after his penalty kick. Either he was very uncomfortable taking a peno against his former club, or even meant to miss it.

Brammie Steve Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Not technically a penalty memory but I remember David Nish's home debut at the BBG. An oppo was past Boulton with a point blank certain goal. From another planet Nishy appeared on a collision course with him and I thought he was going to take one for the team. He somehow came away with the ball perfectly fairly. Still don't know how he did it. Dave Watson's obvious six yard foul against Telford when no penno was awarded. Years later Dave Watson was asked about this at a Telford United dinner and said 'Well, let's put it like this.. when it happened my blood ran very cold!' Like Cloughie always said 'It evens out over the season.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Barazite vs Forest following the Addison 'winner'. Also Duke Ellington rolling it straight down the middle 'cool as custard' in the last minute against Stoke in the League Cup Quarter Final.
