West_Reading What about when we were 3-0 up at half time at home to Port Vale and ended up drawing 3-3! That was the play off season as well wasn't it?

Memories are a somewhat lacking, i'm afraid.

Our form up to the new year put 2 seasons ago in the shade, 62 points from 24 games but we "only" finished on 94.

Ark Royal 22 years ago today and probably the greatest game and greatest comeback some of us have ever witnessed.
3-0 down to Plymouth with 25 minutes to play and then 3-1 down with nine to play and then a certain Mad Max starts to run amok. The rest is histoire.
Your memories? Discuss.

ayjaydee Slightly off topic - I recall a cup game with Watford where we were getting well beaten with not long to go, took it into extra time and won. Was it on our Simod run? The memory is getting a bit hazy.

Ark Royal Guy I was standing with on the Tilehurst End left at half time. He just could not believe the result when it rolled off the vide-printer!
As far as I am concerned, the Plymouth game is the greatest I have ever seen.
Argyle were going great guns at the time: second in the table and unbeaten in 14.
Poor Argyle. They just did not know what hit them in that last nine minutes, when Mad Max became a force of nature. Fair play to Plymouth fans though; they clapped us off the park at the end.
As another poster said earlier, we were not pretty to watch, but we were fitter than a butcher's dog and blew teams away in the tail end of games in 85/86.

ISTR Andy Rogers was the hero that day. At one stage he had the ball next to the corner flag and a Plymouth player hacked at him to try and get the ball, and was booked. From the free-kick, the ball went back to Andy Rogers by the corner flag, and the same defender did exactly the same and was immediately sent off!
At least I think that's the same match .....

Remember it still today but sure that the goals came earlier, I'm sure we got one back soon after half time, then 2 more in quick succession mid way through the half with one being a penalty and then the last with about 10mins to go. I recall someone near me saying we scored too early and could allow Plymouth back in which I found an odd thing to say....glad to be corrected as the old memory is starting to fade a bit and I'm sure there is a match report around somewhere.....this was also Spacey's first game btw...suprised he hasn't mentioned it again....
I was 21 then
