8th December 1984, STFC lose 3-2 to Leeds at GM, having been 2-2 at the break, i cried in the family stand, the pain of seeing us lose
20th February 1988, Vic Kasule cuts in from the wing and unleashes an unstoppable shot, still the greatest goal i have ever seen at an STFC game
at the first game I was aged 5
I was 8 when I saw the best goal I have ever seen live
supporting STFC has been the greatest trial of my life, but the emotional rollercoaster of our beloved club is unquestionable
what are your highs and lows that make STFC such an important part of your life?

Now now children lets not argue amongst ourselves... The whole of Ema's original post was serious and nowhere did it say it was to be a deadly serious thread did it

point taken, sorry for overreacting Ema
I was just trying to deal with my own personal angst about Ron Green!
and i remember all of those times ema mentioned, each one a truly gutting experience
i think that's what makes STFC fans who they are, so many traumas!

Only time I have ever cried about football was nothing to do with TUFC!!
When Chartlon left the valley and they had radio coverage on the game, the home fans singing "We're not going to Selhurst park" brought a tear to my eye!
What an emotional young pup I must have been!!

Best moments
Being 2-1 up at Leicester in FA Cup Quarter Final with them having a forward in Goal Winning 3-2 away at Leeds, they had won last 10 home games on the trot(or something like that) Beating Ipswich in the FA CUP (That week Ipswich went out of FA Cup, League Cup and were knocked off the top of the old 1st Divsion. Victor Kasule scoring at Oldham past Andy Goram from 25 yards. He looked up and said to Goram "That's where I'm going to put the ball" and he did.
Worst Losing 5-2 to Leicester in FA Cup Quarter Final with them having a forward in goal Losing 3-2 to Northampton to miss out on the play offs, thanks to that Donkey Robbie Turner

One of my best moments is the same as Martin's Leicester away being 2-1 up.I felt good then. Turned to really sad after that Other great moments: Man City FA Cup 79 That was a WOW Wolves away FA Cup 79 The away support was something else. Both Ipswich victories in the FA Cup 93/94 Preston at home REVENGE Seeing Zola at The Meadow Worst: Losing at home to Wrexham last season..how we didnt deserve that. Losing at home to Boston last season...they where so crap yet we where losing. Wolves away League cup 91(I think) lost 1-6 down to Ken Hughes being nobbled by Steve(yam yam I am w****r) Bull and he got away with it and scored.

Worrieingly latley every game i have seen as a town fan has been 2emotional football" were ever goal against hurts and each one we get brings joy!
Worst games for me the 6-0 Boston - (pure anger), last weeks debarcle at the daggers (my personal lowest point). The loss to Blackburn in the league cup hurt as we played so so well (thats when i first cryied in the family stand as a kid!) and Also the diassapointment of the acivement of getting the twin towers being spoilt by bad tatics, team selection and F***** Jemson!
Best moments
Out side of the town - the Liverpool - Newcastle 4-3 games (i was at both) when the Kop gets going there is nowhere like it.
The town
Promotion to div two - the last game of the season that clinched (northampton??) ran on the pitch - that was a class day. The Everton game was good and probably the best i have felt at the meadow and for hours afterewards. Beating Fulham to get the liverpool tie in the early 90's was a moment also. Exeter for diffrent reasons was emotional, but for most of the away fans every one of them last 10 away games that season was emotional!!!!!!

Was that Kasule goal vs Swindon? If so I'd have to say that it was the best goal Ive scored by the Town.
Best moments - Beating Birmingham 2-0 at St Andrews to saty up and almost send them down. Beating Southampton due to Mickey Browns volley. Turning Preston over in the league 93/94 after they hammered us at theirs and beat us in the cup. Sc***horpe away 1994 when we won league and Gary Patterson scored his 1st goal.
Worst moments - Auto windscreens final - Great day apart from 90 mins of football. Losing to Northampton 3-2 on what is now known as 'Robbie Turner Day' Exeter away 2000 - Although we stayed up and was a good day too many ppl lost sight of the bigger picture and that stayin in the league on the last day of the season wasnt a good thing worth celebrating. We were crap but nobody seemed to realise. Luckily they didnt have to wait too long to be convinced.

When we went to Stockport (being on a run, we'd just beaton Swindon the week or so before). Anyhow we somehow beat 'em, can't remember the score (2-0?) But that was just about the highest I've ever seen Salop in the league!!!
Also Exeter 99/00 Lincoln a few seasons ago, when Tolley scored a most undeserved last minute winner that kept us in the play-off hunt. Pure Class.
Brighton 00/01. They'd won the championship, we'd stayed up. It was stressfree party football which we won 3-1. Great (and friendly) pitch invasion after.
When we lost to Preston in div2 at home to confirm our relegation. Actually cried that day and was sure I was cursed (being one of the mascots and all)
Ca,ebridge and Darlo last season, altho' didnt go listening on the internet made me so angry and it finally begun to dawn on me that we were probably relegated.
And of course Halifax 99/00. Equalise in the last minute thinking you have a vital point, only to concede 30 seconds later against you know who.
And the Southend game the week after, Those 2 Lee Steele penos....

Both the Northampton games were pretty emotional for different reasons, but other moments stick out in my mind were
Chrissy Withe's first goal when he performed the crow dance in front of the Riverside- he was Pure Shrewsbury and he was so made up when he scored.
The Sc***horpe game...when reality hit home.

highs - I must be same vintage as JP and martin B
78/9 Man city in the cup say no more- Bury at home the last (mis**t?) kick of game winner by biggins absolute relief
leeds away 3-2 win -The most one sided game of football I've ever seen. Leeds has dozens of corners and absolutely pulverised us only for 1million pound teenager griffiths to score a late break away winner. The high didn't last long when I had queue for a bus back to Leeds city centre with some rather disappointed Leeds lads.
Birmingham away 2-0 to stay in the old second division
93/4 Bury 3-2 away victory that Ant mentioned. All thebetter for sitting with a Bury fan & the sc***horpe game to clinch the championship
Lows -god there's been a lot recently
1. Leicester FA Cup quarter final -a semi final place was beckoning -chopper what were you doing?
2. Robbie turner day - dreadful
3. Almost anything from the latter part of last season - but the day we lost at Hartlepool and all the others won. I knew we were finished
4.Wembley such an anti climax
5.losing 3-0 at home to Colchester in the FA cup then bottom of the league when were in the old second division

The high didn't last long when I had queue for a bus back to Leeds city centre with some rather disappointed Leeds lads. I have watched the video of the Leeds game. They had 24 corners we had 1. We scored from ours with a miss hit shot from Doug Rougvie that bounced about 20 times before reaching the goal. They didn't score from any of theirs. In the second hald we got out of our half 6(six) times and two of those were when we kicked off after they scored I do remember staying in the ground for 15 minutes after the final whistle because I was laughing so much. Also on the video you see me and "Nipper" Edwards doing a dance celebrating the winning goal.

Highs - 3-0 down at half time to Cyrille Regis' West Brom in whatever the League cup was those days. Drew 3-3. Astonishing. The whole of the 1979-80 season: beating Chelsea (twice), West Ham (twice), Charlton, Newcastle, Wrexhham (twice ;D)... Beating Ipswich at the Meadow - Steve Cross is God. Exeter 2000. Everton game last year. Lows - Most of the rest of last year. Every time we play Carlisle and the poorest team in the league over the last dozen years frustrates us. Driving home after the last time we played Carlisle.

Experiences fairly recent compared to most of you. (Since I became a born-again STFC fan, as opposed to being only a nominal one- on account of my father also being a nominal STFC fan!) Cheered, danced round the room,.etc.. when we beat Everton. Tears of joy!!! ;D Cried on and off for 2 days when we were relegated. (Like getting bad news- you know how it is- you wake up, think it's an O.K. sort of day- then you remember again and start to blub all over again! )

High - the FA cup win against Fulham to set up the game against Liverpool, especially the winning goal. Great run by Aussie and the coolest finish by Dempsey. I was so full of adreneline that I drove home in under an hour - the journey usually takes 90 minutes.
Lows. The Liverpool game, we lost before we began by giving them too much respect. And Wembley, the team selection was a betrayal and an insult to both the fans and the players.
Although I have been following the Town for about 50 years, these from the same season stick in my mind for some reason.

that season was a strange one dave - started poorly as I remember - then we had a purple patch winning about 7 straight league games and played some of the best football we've played over the last 25 years at times. there was also the great LDV run. But it all ended in anti climax with both Liverpool and wembley games and Fred Davies completely losing the plot.
Apart from the Everton game and the first half versus Hull about two years ago there's very little that stand out after that season.
