My First Rovers Away Game :(

Recommended Posts

was a few years back but i remember the injustice like it was yesterday

david dunn was running down the wing, fabrizio ravenelli hacked dunny down so he needed to be stretchered off-no free kick given, ravenelli runs up the other end of the pitch, sees a shiny silver coin on the floor and makes a dive for it.

free kick says the ref, i beg to differ says i

free kick ravenelli scores, dunn go's off with serious knee injury.

they then score again from sloppy defending.

we pull one back

then late on in the game we score a great team goal, only to be knocked off as offside when clearly i was more in an offside position then markus bent was

highly annoying but thats my first rovers away game :(

I remember that one. The ref was doing a "get up you poof" gesture at Dunny, then the stretcher came on.

My first away game was Villa '92, we were top going into the game, 0-0 in the end. All i remember is the guy on the PA anoucing that it was a clash featuring two fo the games best centre forwards: Shearer and Saunders...I think the away end laughed a bit at that...we all knew!!!! And the sumo wrestlers at half time.....CLASSY :lol:

That Derby game was the first game of the season when we were back in the top flight in 01/02 wasnt it? Yeh same with me, whenever i see highlights of the game the offside decsion still rankles with me as it was clearly onside and we deserved at least a point from the game.

I seem to remember a large travelling Rovers support on that day, musta been 3k plus :rover:

Isn't this the game where we should have been 1 up after about ten seconds. I'm sure I recall Duff skinning their right back and sticking over a cross and Gillespie missing from close range!
