Best on field none scoring moment ....

What's the one thing that you remember about a match from years gone by?

For me, Múller's last minute penalty save at home against Preston. Another memory was away at Sheffield Wednesday. We're winning the match, they go through and Bobby Hassell appears out of nowhere to make a goal line clearance.The still image (which won't embed) shows their striker about to put the ball in the net. Hassell comes out of nowhere to save on the line.



(Complete with crap commentary - if anyone has Matt Bailey or Radio Sheffield, I'll dub it)

Any one else have any?

 

Mvoto...

Breaking away when they (Huddersfield?) sent their keeper up in injury time.

The whole ground willing him on and he scuffed it

 

He did a prime Messi/Ronaldinho run in a friendly once, looked a world beater!

 

That save was exceptional

 

Toby Tyke doing his "goal run" vs Man Utd in the cup replay. We had a blatant penalty turned down at Old Trafford in the initial tie.

Jason the tannoy man fetched him down in the box right in front on the Man U fans and then announced it "wasn't a penalty."

 

Mick McCarthy signalling to the Barnsley bench that either the ref or a Man City player is a wnker during the famous victory over them in the cup, caught square on by the camera just above the dugout and beamed into the homes of millions during the highlights that night.

Or Mike Lester hiding the ball up his shirt and with his arms outstretched protesting to the ref he'd done no wrong. Still with the ball up his shirt.

Or Shez chinning Paul Ince.

 

Mido's foul will always be up there

 

Conor Hourihane stepping on that Peterborough players for and getting him sent off in 15/16

 

Paul Reid taking one for the team away at Blackpool in 2006.

 

How is that clever or funny though, don't we hate it when it happens to us ?. And Hourihane relies on that now as he's way past his best.

 

I agree on your first point, winds me up loads. I detest it. Don't think Hourihane's as good as he was but not sure he's way past his best either. First half of season, up to about mid Jan, he was one of Derby's better players. Hasn't he finished in team of the month twice this season? Said when he first joined though, not sure if he fits in properly with their squad. Needs a lad like Scowen to do all his running for him, if you manage it he'd be a cracking laiker in this league

 

All the opposition players who have missed penalties or got sent off against us, especially at Oakwell (and not after having their foot trodden on lol).

 

Away at Leeds when they went up as second division champions in 1990, we won 2-1 in what is still the best away atmosphere I've been in.

But the "incident" that I'll never forget is when Gerry Taggart went in on a 50/50 (at best) with Mel Sterland near the touchline. Quite what Sterland was thinking I'll never know, but I've never seen a player ricochet that distance from a tackle like he did. Taggart barely flinched, Sterland went straight over the advertising board. Set the tone for the team to grind out the win.

 

Many years ago at Oakwell, Mike Lester was fairly tackled in possession and both players went down. The ball got stuck in between their tangled legs, and a few further players joined in. Eventually there were about 5 or 6 players in a pile, all intertwined with each other, and the ball was nowhere to be seen. No foul had been committed, but the referee eventually blew up for a drop ball as it was clear that the ball was not going to escape the melee. One by one the players disentangled themselves and stood up, but the ball had disappeared. The players and referee were looking around to try to find it, to no avail. Eventually Mike Lester couldn't stop giggling - he'd stuffed the ball up his shirt while under the pile of bodies, and nobody noticed. One of the funniest things I've ever seen on a football field.

 

Can't remember the game but I remember Futch backpedaling and Shotton running forward for the same ball. Clash of heads. Malc disappeared up the tunnel for stitches. Emerged some time later with a bandage around his skull. As he ran back onto the pitch he tore the bandage off to a huge cheer..Fab stuff.

 

I remember John Aldridge blasting a pen over in front of the Ponty, for Tranmere. He tried to be clever with the fake slow step run up, and Lee Butler was having none of it and stayed in the middle.

Speaking of Tranmere, a certain Ronnie Moore was sent from the dugout one evening lol. And there were allsorts of comments about him being a w*anker and where he could shove his cap.

 

And already mentioned further up the thread

 

Ooops, apologies, missed your earlier post.

 

Rotherham at home 2016-17. They had two probable penalties turned down for handball within a couple of minutes of each other. Massive screams of "'ANDBALL!!" from the away end. The usually quiet East stand then spending the next five minutes randomly screaming "ANDBALL!!" whenever one of their players touched the ball with their feet. It's the little things you remember fondly

 

Glyn Hodges getting sent off for Sheff Ure, after mouthing off and calling the linesman an effing w*nker lol. And the linesman actually telling the ref what he called him, you could see it and lip read it.

Mel Machin getting into a punch up with the Blackburn assistant boss Ray Harford. We put the ball out for a throw but they played on with it, and didn't give it back. So Mel twa*tted him.
