My favourite ever 0-0 draw

[splott parker]

Loved today, the grit, determination, Alnwick’s saves etc. Maybe going over the top because I can’t for the life of me remember any other favourite scoreless draws but having just got in that’s how I feel.

Good thread

Only other one that sticks in memory is Cambridge Utd game in 1999 when we had about 15 players sent off

Do you think the celebrations at the end - particularly the players doing the old wayyy wayyy wayyy air pumping - were a bit over the top?

Not in the slightest, these lads, and they are young lads, have had over a year of an oppressive Bulut managership, the shackles of that recent era are being shed every game little by little, or perhaps even quicker. It’s a release of emotions, both on and off the pitch, it’s a welcome bonding between players & fans. Long may it continue.

The clean sheet is something to celebrate, considering we have/had the leakiest defence in the league.

O’Dowda felt a bit embarrassed but went along with it.

Re: My favourite ever 0-0 draw

Our two promotions to the Premier League were confirmed by 0-0 draws that were all about the occasion as they were both crap games.

I was too young to be there, but City 0 Sporting Lisbon 0 to knock out the holders of the Cup Winners Cup in 1964 I think it was has to be a candidate for our best ever 0-0.

I think my favourite 0-0 was the one in Belgium in 2016 Euros qualification- it was a real statement of intent.

Re: My favourite ever 0-0 draw

Today saw our 174th 0-0 draw in the second tier. It was our 81st away 0-0 in this division, the 175th away 0-0 draw in league and cup and the 362nd 0-0 draw in league and cup, not including Welsh competition or Europe.

12.5% of our games in the playoffs have finished goalless. This is the highest percentage per competition, followed by the 4th tier, where 11.5% of our games failed to produce a goal. We've only ever drawn 1 game 0-0 in the Football League Trophy (under its various names) and only 3 in the League cup. We've drawn 21 FA Cup ties 0-0 and have a higher rate of goalless draws in that tournament than the top 3 divisions in the league.

We've had 187 0-0 draws at home and 175 away.

If you're still reading at this point, why?

Ah, The Eastern, the pub where you could renew your MOT for about fifteen quid.
