jonnyowl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Huddersfield at home in the playoffs. We should have battered them! We'd have easily beat Reading in the final! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Hard to pick one out so I've chosen a few. 2001 - Losing at home to the pigs 2002- Losing at home to the mini pigs 2003 - Drawing at home to Rushden & Diamonds 2010 - Relegated at home to Palace 2017 - Losing at home to the pigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 early 80's Shrewsbury Town away. Got drenched and the coach had no heating so nearly hyperthermic on the way home.... Think we lost or 0-0 And more recently Udders in the play-off semi...biggest anti-climax of recent times. Woolwich Arsenal in cup reply defeat was also a big let down...but at least we were there!!!

wiltonowl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 One that got me so angry over 40 years of watching The Owls is the Burton game other Xmas period. My brother came over from the State's with his 2 daughters and son ,aged between 17 -21. Asked me to get tickets on kop so he could show them were he used to shout the team on from before he left the UK in 93. Few pints in Railway,a penalty save then all downhill,freezing cold lost 3-0 and my nieces and nephew wondering what all the hype was about and I should go with them to a NFL game.

We were being well and truly hammered, we had a Scottish C/H (Ha!) lannighan was his name I believe, we were 6-0 down with 30mins to go, Lannigan was by that put on the wing, out of the way, we tried to leave early but the Police made us stay to the end, Sadistic tvvats. Kenny Brannigan wasnt it ?.......................think it was January 2nd , sticks in my mind because i had planned to go but my cousin announced a "quick" wedding on that day god bless her !!

owl84 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 2000 Away at Derby 3-1 up with injury time to play. Drew 3-3 felt awful after the game was pretty obvious after that we were heading for the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Can't remember the year but a 5-1 home defeat to Wimbledon, possibly the last one I ever went to with my grandfather hurts. As does the 87 Cup defeat to Coventry, I fully expected a win and another cup semi trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 There's shed load of disappointing results but the worst game I've ever seen was a 0-0 on a freezing cold night at halifax 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Palace for sure. Also the 2017 home loss to the pigs. I wasn't there... I'd been up all night and was pretty drunk, sat in an empty pub in Stoke Newington, and felt embarrassed that i'd bothered.

And then Arsenal scored as many goals in 20 minutes as they had in their previous 990. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact Arsenal can just feck off. More recently it would be Huddersfield play off semi. Didn't really hit me at the time but what a glorious chance we had that year and we still ballsed it up. Bothers me to this day that game. I went to this one.... Shocker of a game and to finish it off we got a brick through the coach window as we were driving away ... Oh them were the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Leyton Orient away 2011. 4-1 I think it was The only time I’ve ever chanted for a manager (Irvine) to be sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Christ I could write a book full....... The cup final in 66 2-0 up,17 minutes later 2-3 down The quarter final at stamford bridge in 67 0-8 at middlesborough against big Jack and Hickton Getting thumped 0-5 at home to arsenal demolished by Radford and Gould Man city sending us down The cup final replay scrubbers scoring 4 at our place Villas promotion party on our kop Losing 2-5 at swindon who had Colin Prophett at LB You have to be thick skinned to be an Owl.....but a least weve got a sense of humour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I seem to have been at most of our epic fails. 1966 CF. 2-0 up with half an hour to go and lose. 1970 v Man C at home. They weren't bothered as they had a European final coming up. We were terrible. We lost and went down. 1990 v Forest at home. A point would have kept us up. We were 3-0 down in half an hour I think. 1993 FACF. 120 mins into replay and our keeper lets an easy header through his fingers. And then there's 0-3 at Bury in about 1978, 0-3 at Cambridge in 1977, 0-3 at York in 1975 (the Save our Owls game). 0-5 at half-time home to Norwich (Worthington their manager), 0-5 at half-time to Everton in big cup match. I could go on but it's depressing. Silver lining in the cloud though..... I missed the 1-7 home to Forest, the 0-8 at Boro, the 0-8 at Newcastle, the 2-8 at QPR. Depressing thread. I'm off to slash my wrists now. Cheerio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt68owls Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 losing 5-1 at Walsall, I think it was 1979. Wednesday went 1 up just before half time from TC and then he hit the bar with a header when it was easier to score. the second half was just awful, wave after wave of Walsall attacks, Wednesday didn't have a clue, we got absolutely battered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
