Guest redrobin108 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 During my time watching city both home & away, sometimes has been liking watching paint dry. What is the most boring match you have ever witnessed either home or away involving city. Try not to involve too many 0-0s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granty Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 A number of FA cup replays between us and either Aldershot / Hartlepool (late eighties) - always 0-0, can't even remember who actually got through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Usually the boring ones get erased from the memory but I remember a game a few years back. It was terrible and for some reason my dad and I had got seats in the middle of the Dolman, about halfway through the 1st half David Seal received the ball from a throw in and hit an absolute screamer into the top corner from 35 yards. We spent the rest of the game talking about it and hoping he might get the ball and do the same again, that's how dull the rest of the game was. I can't even remember who it was against, although something tells me it might have been Hull? :Confused13: :Confused13: :Confused13: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BournemouthRed Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 All those godforsaken 1-1 draws during the P***s era stick in my mind. Teams like Colchester and Peterborough coming for a point and getting it while the likes of Jones and Beadle miserably failed to do anything that even looked like scoring. :Sleep12: :Sleep12: :Sleep12: :Sleep12: :Sleep12: :Sleep12: :Sleep12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hodges17 Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Heres a Rovers one.....Rovers 0-1 Barnsley, friendly i think. Negative, rubbish Barnsley score lucky goal about 5mins in and defend all game. I say all game, but i actually fell asleep sat down on the terrace with 20mins to go! Now who was that Barnsley manager that day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Anything involving Notts County in the early to mid 90's God those games were awful, in a less than half fall ashton gate- And to be honest it was clear to see why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 To many to mention especially under Jimmy Lumbsden and Osman.Every game seemed like an enternity an if City went a goal down as they often did you just knew it was all over. Dire times indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Last year away at Blackpool, and the most dire 0-0 draw you've ever seen. I actually sat down and refused to watch it, it was unbelievably boring. This season the 1-1 at home to Luton was boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon Hater Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Agree with Blackpool last season, my first game in 93/94 watching City in the Legaue Cup against Notts County in a 2,00 crowd, lost 1-0, somehow I got hooked after that rubbish! Colchester away once, can't remember the year but it was snowy/icy and drew 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Can anyone remember a game at AG against Cambridge when Russell Osman was in charge. Pretty sure it ended 0-0. It was a fantastic combination of both sides hoofing the ball forward and then both playing the off-side trap. It was mind blowing. The most boring game ever for sure. To crown it all I was living in London and had dragged a mate all the way down to watch it! He still reminds me of it to this day and tells me it has mentally scarred him for life!

london red Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I always remember the match at home to Wrexham in the 01/02 season. It was the Saturday before Christmas I think, and it was freezing cold. We won 1-0 with an own goal nine minutes from time, but pretty dire stuff throughout.

Guest pogue mahone Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 from our relegation season of 79-80 the 0-0 with wba about easter time, stunning that a side containing cunningham and regis could be so negative. the same fixture the year before wasn't up to much either but at least mabbutt got a late winner then. i developed a deep hatred of wba over those 2 games. in 80-81 we drew about 5 games in a row 0-0 over christmas i had the misfortune to be at all of them. the osman and pulis years obviously. times when i really considered whether or not i had better things to do on a saturday.

whooosh Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Rovers away May 1990, can't even remember the score it was that boring, no crowd incidents, nothing exciting on the pitch and nothing riding on the result, very bland non-event regardless what any Gashead will tell you.

Guest O_Faz Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Plymouth on Boxing Day last year. Our biggest crowd of the season upto that point and I don't recall one decent shot for either side. The only thing that was even remotely interesting was when a City defender (Coles or Butler) used their bonce to completely clear the Wedlock. And that was as exciting as it got.

Nogbad the Bad Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Wimbledon away in the early to mid eighties in the 4th division at Plough Lane. Our expectations were at their lowest point and they were completely fulfilled. Nyrere Kelly was playing and we had high hopes of him, which were dashed. Boiling day, City were appalling and we lost. Most City fans were oblivious to the turgid game by the half way stage and were stretched out , asleep in the sun for the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest city3rovers2 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I think Peterborough last season was one of the most boring games I've ever been to. We won 1.0, but I don't know who scored. I remember thinking afterwards that I'd barely seen anything of the game, I chatted for 90 mins with my mate. I hardly even saw the goal, the game was so dull, I wasn't even watching. Still, the 3 points were all that mattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenun Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 January 1999, Oxford v City at the Manor Ground. 2 awful 1st Division teams heading for God's Wating Room (aka Div 2), ground out one of the most mind numbingly, nail s####ing down glass, boring 0-0 draws that I've ever had the misfortune to watch. Both goalkeepers needed overcoats as there was so little for them to do and the referee should have abandoned the match at half-time, due to an outbreak of narcolepsy.

Guest Cider Red Sam Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 City 1 - 0 Peterborough Last season... We were fully expaecting to win, first 10 minutes great, all over them. Robins scored on something like 12 minutes and no-one even cared! it was the ####pest atmosphere ever! When we scored instead of jumping up and down, everyone just went "wahey" when the ball bobled over the keeper and it to the back of they net. For the rest of the match we defended the 1 goal lead against a Peterborough team that could create sod all, and we didn;t create anything down the other end either!

screech Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 It was early to mid nineties, first division game live on ITV on a Sunday afternoon against Grimsby, City never seem to turn it on for live games and this was no exception, we won 1-0 I think, all I remember is sitting there numb with boredom telling a friend it was bad enough being here watching it, but also feeling sorry for those unfortunate enough that were sat at home hoping to watch some footy on tv that afternoon.

22A Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 2 games involving the gas (what a surprise). Not long after Cambs Utd had been elected to the League, they were draw away to the gas in the FA Cup so I went down to see them (not the home team). I walked out 20 mins early it was such a poor game. Even when City are losing, I never walk out on them early. Towards the end of 80/81 and both Bristol teams were headed for Div 3 (today's Div 2) and a dull goal less Bristol derby brought a sneer of derision from Des Lyneham on BBC's Grandstand.

Roadrunner Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Was it 0-0 or 1-1, anyway we were at home to Bury 4 or 5 seasons ago. I think it was a Friday night, Bury had around 20 fans. It stands out as the most boring match in the nearly 50 years i have been watching the City. :Sleep12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 As soon as I saw this thread I thought of an away game at Cambridge (strange that they feature a lot on this thread). I cant remember the year only that I think John Taylor ex Gas was playing for them. It was freezing cold, we were under a low covered terrace and it was quite dark in there. It was like watching the match through a letterbox which wasn't great as the teams seemed to be having a competition as to who could kick the ball the highest. It turned out that there was a rugby match , maybe England, being played at the same time. Someone had a TINY handheld black and white TV. Soon everyone around had turned their backs on City and were watching the TV. Does that tell you how bad a game it was ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
