Being a Leicester fan there have been plenty of highs and lows through the time that i've followed city. Which brings me to ask whats the most gutted yov've ever been after a match?
The 92-93 play off final against Swindon was my moment of suicide. 3-0 down and game over so we thought. What followed was cruel. The best fight back by Leicester i'd seen and at 3-3 with city pushing for a winner the atmosphere at Wembley reached boiling point. Then surely with Swindon deflated there could only be one winner. Then for the 2nd year running a dodgy penalty. A couple of hours later i was on the M1 with head in hands and the end of the world was nigh.

Hope you weren't driving BB! :icon_lol:

Swindon or, more recently, losing against Spurs in the 1999 league cup final. Another dodgy last minute goal.... :mad:
 
It was a sickener - but the pride from the stirring fightback (also on the TV for millions to watch) helped a little. For some reason I felt worse the year before.

Getting cheated by that ref against Ateletico Madrid was another low point (not sure when we will see such a night again).

I didn't go when we threw away a 2 goal lead against Boro, but that must have been bad for those there (last hope of survival seemed to disappear with that one).
 
would agree so far. how about being 3-0 up against wolves. or when we were beating (i think, cant remeber i was wuite drunk at the time) chelsea and frankie sinc rose like a majestic salmon and nodded home. into his own net.
 
The Swindon game was the only football game I've ever shed tears over - emotional wreck after that - rather than the comeback helping as with Granite Fox, it made it worse for me at the time.

But now, nothing in football makes my spine tingle like seeing Stevie Thompson magically cool finish, and I remember how I felt before Milford made his promised impact...
 
can't believe no one has mentioned losing 4-3 away to Newcastle.
3-1 up with ten minutes to go then that kung-fu w@nker alan shearer goes and scores a hat trick.
thats up there with the slit your wrist moments:eek:
 
Was that a Sky match? Seem to recall it being on a Sunday afternoon. The geordies had a very good side then and i couldn't believe we were 3-1 up. But in true Leicester fashion we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Not wanting to hijack this depression-fest :icon_cry: , but I think that was best feeling I've ever had in a football stadium, alongside Claridge's winner against Palace and the full-time whistle at Hillsborough....

Oh happy days :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

And the absolute calmness of that finish amidst the most frantic, electrifying atmosphere, makes that, for me, the best goal I've ever seen live. Ever!

And as for Joachim's little gay skip of delight... :icon_lol:

Do you know something that we don't?

Yes it was on Sky I remember watching it at the pub.....never has a goal seemed so inevitable as Sh**rer's third to give them the win.

The Swindon match for me, especially the way we played for the comeback. Coming a year after the Blackburn match made it worse as I never thought we would be able to get back up a year later.
 
Swindon has to be the one, I finally got to watch the 120 best goals dvd last night (I know about a year after everybody else) and you know which ones effected you most by the hairs standing up on the back of your neck and the Swindon goals brought it all back. I had forgotton how brilliant Thommo took that goal, did forget to look for Joachim's 'gay jig' though.
Just a comment on the dvd, we must be the only club to have an own goal for the opposition in our greatest goals collection (given to Speedie against Tranmere, but he was nowhere near it!!):038:
 
The Wolves match last year was the worst feeling for a long while. But the most dissapointing from a personal point was our 3rd. lose in the F.A. Cup Final. Been to everyone but that was the worst feeling I had and I with some mates didn't leave London sober till the Monday after. Couldn't face anybody for about a week or so.
:022:
 
that newcastle match was a repeat of an away game there a few years before, when we were 3-1 up and that fat tw@t mark mcghee came on as sub and scored a hat-trick, we lost 4-3 then too.

that newcastle match or wycombe

yes Wycombe has to be up there. would have been our first semi since I was 6 and with a final in Cardiff. Gutted.
 
For me the most disappointing games came in our last premiership season -

3 - 0 up at Wolves to lose 4 - 3

3 - 1 up at Middlesboro in injury time only to draw 3 - 3

Those two performances and results epitomised our season and like many other matches where we conceeded late sloppy goals rubbed salt into the wounds as to how close we could have been to staying up, if only we could have held on in these and countless other matches. Piss Poor and thoroughly depressing.
