Have you ever gone to the toilet and missed a goal?

[hbk4894]

Or gone for a pie and missed a goal.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Yes. Many, many atime. Even missed Robbie Di Matteo's record breaking FA Cup final goal vs Middlesbrough in 97 as a result of being in the toilet (despite my mother forewarning me). Sorry, this is not a league 1 anecdote.

 

[GTFCfish]

Nearly happened to me on Boxing Day v Accrington, my daughter was busting for a piss with 5 minutes to go so I said to her to try and wait until full time.
A couple of minutes later she said she couldn't wait so I took her and just as we got to the bottom of the steps in the Pontoon Chambers smashed in our second goal.
If I had taken her when she first needed to go we would've missed it.

 

[Super_horns]

Yes - a couple of times.

Infact I wasn't really aware one had been scored for a minute or two as it was a pretty small crowd/no scoreboard!

 

[Robie]

Very rarely at a live football match but it is a guaranteed way of improving a boring 0-0 TV game as I'll come back from a slash to at least a goal being scored, every time.

I went for a shit during the West Ham v City game last Friday night and came back to 3 goals!

 

[Hurrikeen]

Gary McDonald's 30 yarder at Goodison a few years back.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

God yeah, loads of times. This year the only ones I can remember are our first against Coventry and the Chesterfield equaliser on opening day.

 

[LS Bantam]

Missed plenty for leaving early, 96th minute equaliser Vs Spurs in our second(?) home game in the Prem, went to Derby and left before we scored a last minute winner, walked out Vs Burnley out of frustration after two shocking red card decisions to equalise with 9 men...

 

[PuB]

I once went for a pie and a piss, came back and I'd missed two goals

MAD

 

[Meadow]

Numerous times, in fact it's becoming a running joke. I'll be at Kingsmeadow and my exiled daughter will be listening online. If we're losing, she'll send me a text suggesting that I go to the bog.

 

[F!RTHY]

Lots!

Most notably, Benito Carbone's over head kick vs Barnsley in 2001.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Gary McDonald's 30 yarder at Goodison a few years back.

That must be really unlucky, based on the number of times you actually score

And yes, I am setting us up for a 3-0 battering on Saturday.

 

[Hedonist Puncture]

Steve Johnson's strike against Tottenham at White Hart Lane in FA Cup Third Round comes to mind.

 

[Marked Ox]

Yes, plenty of times. Couple of times this season.

 

[AusGill]

Missed plenty for leaving early,

Leaving early?

Back in the 99 Play Off final about 30,000 Man City fans left when we went 2-0 up in the 86th minute.

Only for them to score in 89, 90+5 and then win it on pens...

Never mind, all good, look where both teams are now...... no, wait....

 

[Camborne Gills]

Thanks for the reminder Aus

 

[T.A]

That is a match to question your exsistence

He he!

Norwich away back in 2009, went down a few minutes before half time and was queuing for a pint when Shelvey scored to put us 2-0 up, I did the natural thing of darting back up the stairs to celebrate.

Thankfully, most others in the queue had done the same thing and when I went back down I was nearer to the front of the queue than I was originally. Happy days.

 

[Indian Dan]

I've stayed and seen a goal when I really should have gone to the toilet. I do miss terracing.

 

[GTFCfish]

Just remembered at Halifax last season we missed 3 goals leaving early, we were 3 - 0 down and we left it until the 85th minute before fucking off to beat the traffic and it ended up 4 - 2.
Not that we cared as we were so bad that day we couldn't wait to get out!

A Gillingham fan I work with was at that game and he said he didn't stop crying all the way home on the coach.

3-0 down to 4-2?

Gutted, you missed a footballing miracle.

A Gillingham I work with was at that game and he said he didn't stop crying all the way home on the coach.

Had I done that on the coach back to Cornwall, I would have flooded it. It was a 9 1/2 hour overnighter.

I didn't cry though, I just got smashed.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

3-0 down to 4-2?

Hardly, I reckon they scored two and conceded one.
Just guessing like.

Yep. Misread it. Thought he missed three Grimsby goals!

 

[Indian Dan]

My birthday is April 12. In early 90s when we were actually good we were away at Birmingham. 10 minutes into the 2nd half we were 4-1 down.

Said to my mates we might as well fuck off down the pub but I got outvoted. We ended up winning 6-4 - one of the most amazing 30 minutes of supporting Swindon.

 

[GFCSludge]

Never missed a goal, don't eat food in football grounds and only have a slash at half time, I have ruthless control over my bladder.

 

[RobboPOSH]

Missed plenty of goals at the bar. Most recently Scunnys goal against us. We beat Swindon 2-1 away last year. We scored just before and just after half time. I was at the bar for both.
