Jimbo Ram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The first, to relive and experience a game you actually went to and be at the game again and second, pick a Rams game that you weren't at but you wish you had of been, which two games would you pick? I have been going to Rams games since the mid 70's, mid 80's followed the team home and away, been at every Rams Wembley game since the Charity Shield other than the Villa game....so many to choose from. For me, the game I was at that I would like to relive and be at again was the 3-1 away win at Spuds in the late 80's, 2 Tin Man goals. The noise, the drama, the excitement being behind the goal in the way end, the memory lives on. Secondly, a game that I wasn't at that I wish I had of been....the 4-1 Real Madrid match, that Charlie George goal, just edges out the play off win at the Dirties........thoughts???

Eatonram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 To see again. Rams 4 Liverpool 0 1969. I was only 9 at the time so perhaps to young to appreciate it. I was also at the 5 0 thrashing of Spurs a few weeks before but I think we were even better against Shankleys Liverpool. As for games I missed but wished I was there........as you say the play off semi against Leeds would be up there as would the 10 men victory over the dogs.....think I will go for the play off semi though. My hatred of Leeds is so deep from the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Relive.....so many... but I would go for the play off final against West Brom. one I wasn’t at, I was going to say Real Madrid etc but instead I will go for Plymouth at home on the last game of the season to win the league, mum and dad who hate football thought It was acceptable to book or first ever holiday abroad so that I missed It....

angieram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Easy. Leeds away semi-final win under Lampard to experience again. Forget the heartbreak that followed, that night was special. FA Cup final against Charlton. I wasn't even born, but to see the Rams lift the FA Cup, something I think will never happen again, must have been so special. (If it has to be in your own lifetime I would pick Rams 4 - 1 v Real Madrid as I was only able to listen to it on the radio, being away at uni at the time.)

May Contain Nuts Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Recency bias in full effect, I'd have to think harder to give a better answer but... Relive the playoff semi final 2nd leg Vs Southampton. Attend the playoff semi final 2nd let against Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Curry Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 That famous League Cup victory in 1968 when the Rams beat "moneybags" Chelsea 3-1 at the BBG in the most exhilarating and almost frighteningly intimidating atmosphere I've ever experienced before or since. and..this one Rams 5 Tottenham 0 from the following year.

Wistaston Ram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Great thread and good choice v Spurs in the late 80s, a game I was fortunate to be at, but I'll go for Rotherham at home in 1986 to secure promotion from Division 3, such noise and excitement and my first taste of success as a rams fan. Honourable mentions for the Forest FAC game in 1983, the 3.2 comeback v Newcastle in the same era, both greatly influenced by a certain Mr Gemmill. If I had to choose an away game it would be the Sheffield Utd FAC game in 1985 1.0, Rob Hindmarch, 10,000 away fans going mad! Wish I had been the WBA Playoff final, never seen us win at Wembley, 4 defeats and counting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Relive West Brom at Wembley. Not the best game ever but the best moment I've shared with my old man Attend 10 men victory against the Red Dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Relive the Leeds playoff away leg, obviously. Absolutely unbelievable night, one of the best of my life. Was utterly ducked for about 3 days afterwards. Couldn’t have come against a better team either, I’m not ever sure beating Forest would have topped it. Then probably attend the FA Cup final win. Can’t imagine what it’s like to see your team win a major trophy, would be nice to experience it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 In terms of re-living a game, has to be the 10 men at Forest. What a day especially giving it to the red dogs in A Block at the end of the game. Best away day of my life (although I don’t go to many) In terms of a game I didn’t go to, obviously the FA Cup win but in my lifetime, it’s a toss up between the Leeds playoff semi or the United 3-2, difficult one but think I’d choose the Leeds semi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrudeRAM Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Brighton at home in the playoffs would be the one i relive i think (close between that and the 5-0 against f*****) For the second I would’ve loved to be at the 2-3 comeback at the shitty ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 That I saw - Arsenal at home in the 88/89 season. My first game, shared with my dad, and pretty much perfect. That I didn't (live at least) the play off match V Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malty Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 First one is easy. 2/1 vs sheff u in Lampard’s season. My little boys first ever game. other than that really tough. Probably when we beat Watford 3/1 at home and Paul Williams scored a hat trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB SPORTS Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 One that I was at, Benfica at home 3-0. One that I wished I was play off victory v West Brom. One that I wished I wasn't, 3-0 defeat against the gumps in 2003. One that I am glad I wasn't., Fulham play off semi final defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Sawley Popside Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Attended - Derby 1 - 0 Liverpool 1972 & Derby County 1 - 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers 1975 both season defining moments! The atmosphere at both games was incredible. Didn't attend - 1946 FA Cup Final (I didn't exist then) & Leicester City away 1975 - I had to attend a wedding.

JRW1611 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I’m amazed no one has said this so far but Attend again Derby vs Palace 1996. I don’t think 10 year old me understood the magnitude of that match One that I missed Derby vs Man U at Old Trafford 1997. Just to see that Wanchope goal in really. Not that I haven’t watched it on YouTube 50 times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepyuppy Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 One I was at - Man Utd 2-3 Derby County (Wanchope goal) 1996/97 season One I wasn't at - Derby 4-1 Real Madrid. European Cup 1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKRam Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Was there..... 3-2 Old Trafford oh Paulo ???❤️❤️❤️ not there....... 4-2 Dirties watched on Tv (several times and will continue to do so) but to be there to wave at Leeds fans and celebrate like that with the squad. For many players it will be the highlight of their career I’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 So many I would like to be at again, some already mentioned but I cant just pick one - my first ever match in 1983-4, crystal palace promotion, wanchope at old trafford, play off semi final second leg at home to Brighton and for the sheer fun of that day Norwich away with Frank when the lights failed. would have loved to go to any of the european nights at the BBG but especially Madrid.
