Great memories @thamesvalleyman, so glad I was there with my lads to see that rocket hit the back of the net, well done KR.

Thanks @gluepot yeah I'm really glad I was at that one too.

Today is also the anniversary of Gary Holton's death, so I will resurrect the AWP post later and come up with a quiz for @hank williams .

Have a good day and take care.

Wasn't it longer than 28 years for beating them in the top division. The last time we had beat them at home in the top division was in the 60's which was before my time.

 

[Red]

Yes 3-0. That pathetic sending off for Colocinni and the penalty.

Snigger.

 

[Kborom]

It was my first home derby since 1980, so I reckon you can all thank me

After the game I said to my mates, "did you realise we also got 3 points today" and no-one gave a shit.

Great atmosphere, but I hate it when our fans get on the pitch, even though it was only brief

 

[humbug]

given never even saw it.

 

[Wise Man Says]

Can someone hoy up that photo of the free kick where the ball is past Given and there’s only one person (some woman) celebrating?

She's waving to her mate in the west stand..

Me and my lad went straight from the match to the north east fishing show at Nissan. That was canny.

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

Was at all of the six in a row but I think this topped them all for emotion and noise.

 

[Freddie the Greek]

Yes 3-0. That pathetic sending off for Colocinni and the penalty.

Push denying a goal scoring opportunity. Clear red card.

Yes because it was such a long time since we'd beaten them at home (I was at the Roker Park win in 1980).

 

[Secret Visage]

Yes 3-0. That pathetic sending off for Colocinni and the penalty.

 

[Wayne The Punk]

Great day

Watched in a pub in Exeter, my flat was about 50 yards from the pub, drank that much I have no idea how I woke up in my bed the next morning

 

[Fitzgerald]

Never a red pet. Still since the first derby I seen in 96 I will have seen us win more than I have seen us lose.

It’s amazing (and great) how close it still is after all these years. Wonder how that compares with other Derby’s?
