One more in.

Crazy!

Next you'll tell me we got given a goal once when we didn't score.

Has happened twice actually, against Rochdale at Elm Park in about 1975 and then again against Watford at Vicarage Road in 2008

Or that we had a player sent off who was nowhere near the scene of the foul.

Happened to Gareth Davies in a home game in the late 1990s. Was mistaken identity by the ref but the club didn’t appeal the decision so Gareth served the suspension.

Takes the piss.

[From Despair To Where?]

It was Paul Bodin who got sent off for being Gareth Davies. Easy mistake to make, both Welsh, both ginger......

Of course we weren't going to appeal it, Davies was an up and coming young central defender with the suave, sophisticated looks of a proto Sidwell whereas Bodin was an aging ex Swine full back who's legs had gone and looked like a moustachioed rat, his crowning career achievement being missing the penalty that would have taken Wales to their first tournament finals in 40 years.

Call me ITK but what I can categorically state is that neither will be signing before the transfer window shuts.

Yes that’s it, anyone remember which game it was in? As I remember it was at Elm Park and must obviously have been at some point after Davies signed (December 1997) and before Bodin left (summer 1998). As I recall Bodin (now 62) started falling out of favour in 1997/98 and don’t think both Bodin and Davies played in the same game very often (Paul was a full back that could do OK as a centre back while Gareth (now 53) was a centre back).

Yeah "thats why I said that".

Didn't know about Rochdale though!

And as mentioned it was Bodin, because he was useless at best. We were pissing ourselves in the Southbank as all the players knew Bodin was useless so noone complained. So useless we would sing "you got tackled by Bodin" at any player who ever got tackled by him... a chant that got sung therefore a grand total of once. IIRC the mystery sending off was against WoLOLves.

The Rochdale one was a free kick 20 yards or so out...Tommy Youlden's shot hit the stanchion on the outside the goal and bounced back onto the pitch, both the ref and lino signalled goal.
