We can make those excuses for ever, Wakey. That's life being a Town fan.
It's not a modern thing. Town have been like this as far back as anybody still alive can remember.
We blew a 5-1 lead at Charlton in the 50s. But in the same decade we beat Everton 8-2
Lost promotion on the last day of the season in the 60s when we lost at home to Coventry. But finished the decade by getting promoted.
Went from the 1st division to the 4th in the 70s. But finished the decade getting promoted.
Lost 10-1 at Man City in the 80s. But in the same decade we beat the Champions of Europe in the Milk Cup.
Got beat in the Autoglass Final in the 90s. But then beat Bristol Rovers at Wembley the following year.
Lost at home to Birmingham to get relegated on the last day of the season in the Noughties when six results needed to go against us to go down. But if we hadn't got relegated we would never have seen that Michael Collins last minute winner at Bellend Road.
Now we lose at home to 10 man Fulham whilst missing two penalties. This time next year........
Life as a Town fan has never been easy and it never will be. Anybody who doesn't enjoy this roller coaster ride ought to get off now cause this is one helluva bumpy ride.
Anyway, how the frig did that bloody carthoss Smith not get a red card for his elbow on Lynch? Right in front of the liner. He saw it,flagged for it, ref gives a yellow card. How on earth was that a yellow card? How could it possibly not be a straight red?
