That's a really good one. Would have been ridiculous, it wasn't like it was a lob either, he blasted it from a good 50 yards away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Nobby Solano v Sunderland 01/02, should have won it. Dyer away to Man City start of the 02/03 season. Missed an open goal. Andy O'Brien at Chelsea in the Quarters of the 01/02 League Cup missing from 3 yards about a minute before Hasselbaink scored in the last minute to make it 1-0. Would have had Spurs in the Semi and Blackburn in the Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 The referee missing this tackle, which can be pinpointed as the exact moment our fortune turned under Bobby. They scored a dodgy pen a minute later, we were crap for the next few games, and then Partizan… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been thinking of haunting moments, or particularly misses recently, then @MrRaspberryJam just posted about Gary Speed v Marseille in another thread. What misses haunt people, you think about when you can't sleep - bad misses in important games, shots that were agonizingly close etc. One less obvious one that comes to my mind is Papiss Cissé away at Benfica in the last 16 of the Europa. He'd already put us 1-0 up before half time and in the second half we were shooting towards our fans (I was there), as I remember he broke through and dinked it over the keeper. It looked like it was going in, it felt like so long, we were in those milliseconds before you break into celebration and things'd have gone mental (2 up, 2 away goals, away at Benfica, looking like going to the QF). I was sure. But it hit the post... Gutted, robbed of that moment we were almost already in. I think Bridges missed a very good chance late on in the same game IIRC.

MrRaspberryJam Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 11/12 season at home to Sunderland, just after Shola equalised I remember Williamson trying to finish one off at the back post instead of just squaring it to Lovenkrands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I was only 8 at the time, but wonder if the final v Arsenal would have swung in out favour if either of Dabizas' or Shearer's efforts that hit the woodwork had went in. Probably not, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, like. I was there—albeit worse for wear drink wise—and the Dabizas one is lost in the mists of time for me. Can recall being convinced Anelka controlled the ball with his arm on the build to a goal. Happened right in front of me and was fuming. Couldn’t wait to watch it on TV to confirm the referee’s miss. All these years later still not seen any evidence of it 😂 (…still convinced though!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Josleu’s penalty miss v Burnley at home felt like a big one too. We were the better side all game, he missed a pen and they scored a late equaliser. It was like a everyone in the ground new he was going to miss before he took it too, it was a weird.

Tsunami Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Owen missed a sitter in the last 10 mins in a 0-0 draw at home to Everton at The Leazes. Awful game, one of our last home games and we went down. Only had the keeper to beat and put it wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahoneys Tache Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Peppering the goal at the city ground 95/96. Albert plumb sitter, hit it properly and Crossley turned into inspector gadget or Reed Richards to keep it out point blank. This was after Woan had scored the screamer. I Was sat behind the goal with home supporters in the bridgford end and I was nigh bursting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Certainly not a haunting miss, but remember Merino pinging one off the post from about 35 yards at home to Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 1 hour ago, bigfella said: All of the missed chances in the first half of the Man U home game 95/96 season. If any one of them had gone in and we draw, we win the title, the rest of the season would have been so different. That first half performance by Schmeichel condemned a lot of fans who are no longer with us to never seeing us winning anything in their lifetime.
