Dummet certainly takes the biscuit tonight with a big shotgun aimed at the foot.

Was thinking of past times when our own players shot us in the foot.

Nick Pope with that stupid handball springs to mind which left us keeperless for the cup final.

Going back have you got memories of players that needlessly cocked the job up for reasons best known to themselves....

Titus Bramble ruined my teenage years. We’ve had some dark periods but bramble boumsong would do some of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen. There used to be a compilation of his own goals online ages ago. Made Harry Maguire look like Maldini.

Andy Obrien was almost an upgrade back then

Jenas handball at Highbury near the start of the 03/04 season. Think it was 2-2 at the time and he inexplicably stuck his hand up and gave them the game.

Remember refreshing newsnow.com 1,000 times per transfer window praying for us to sign Matthew Upson ? 

I think we ended up settling on Oguchi “Gooch” Onyewu. 
 

God heard our cries and sent us the Saudis

I can't actually remember what Ciaran Clark did wrong, although he always comes to mind

 

Got sent off very early into a must win game v. Norwich at home. We ended up drawing.

Stevie Taylor has this sewn up.  That time when he dived full length and punched the ball clear.

 

And the sniper against Villa.

Drawing at Arsenal and a clearly injured Danny Simpson going up to take an attacking throw in, Arsenal break on the side he couldn't run back to. Thick as mince stuff.

I'm going to add a happy one - Steve Walsh's bizarre tackle / backpass OG, Leicester away final day of the 91/92 season.  It sent me and my cousins crackers in my granddad's kitchen - he jumped and smashed the radio by knocking it off the table (or he broke the wireless in the scullery, as he would have said).  Had to scramble into the living room to check on Grandstand that the game had ended.  I know we didn't need a winner it turned out, but we didn't know that then ...

Shay Given and the Dion Dublin gaffe! ?

I was there that day! :)

 

Rob Lee howitzer with a couple of mins left, too

 

edit: what should have been an enjoyably mad game was ruined by a lot of racist chanting from the Newcastle end.  ‘Town full of p***s’. Fucking abysmal
