[Albion] Have we ever had a truly crushing last gasp defeat?

[BNthree]

Same season as the 2-3 vs Utd where they were rewarded a penalty after the FT whistle had gone. On the whole I don’t have good memories of watching the vast majority of those lockdown home games in 19/20. Felt like we were cursed.

That Man U game was the one I was going to mention. Was pretty crushing.

 

[Garyoldfan]

Slightly dfferent, but Gordon Smith at Wembley is up there for me - although I came away pleased we had given such a good performance.

Yeah, that’s the nearest. Still can’t watch it !!

 

[Soton Seagull]

I was pretty grumpy after Spurs away this season.

I was thinking the same one losing against them after hitting the woodwork 4 times. Really set the tone of the entire season. Good football and terrible results

I'd call it outrageous and f***ing annoying. I wasn't crushed. I was livid.

This, was going to spurs this season as soon as it went in I just walked out

Same season as the 2-3 vs Utd where they were awarded a penalty after the FT whistle had gone. On the whole I don’t have good memories of watching the vast majority of those lockdown home games in 19/20. Felt like we were cursed.

That's the one I immediately thought of. Was watching with a Villa fan in a bar on Crete. The Villa fan was as angry about what happened as I was.

Not sure if it was last minute, but remember a crushing defeat away at Chesterfield around 2000/01 season when we were both going for the title. Oatway had been sent off sometime in the match and we deserved a point and a late goal did for us.

But 'honourable' mention to the Benteke goal at the Amex during Covid times. Went to bed numb. Shocked and angry in equal measures

 

[Bodian]

That Man U game was the one I was going to mention. Was pretty crushing.

Especially as the BBC had already shown it as a draw at FT - so I went off to make a cup of tea.

It was only later I found out we'd lost.

 

[Albion 4ever]

Solly blasting the penalty over the bar in the FA Cup semi final was pretty bleak.

 

[The Wookiee]

That 95th minute Benteke goal in 2021 was unbelievably painful. 75% possession, 25 shots to their 3…I had resigned myself to accepting a draw. And then it got worse - much, much worse. The worst feeling I’ve had caused by sport for as longs as I can remember.

Very much THIS - still makes me angry

 

[Bodian]

I do remember being at Northampton in the late 1980s when they scored a last-minute winner.



Only for Gerry Armstrong to equalize!

 

[Weststander]

You are right, I can’t really think of any. We’ve had a lot more of those goals going in positively for us - Wilkins, Virgo, Ulloa, Mac Allister.

I can still remember that Wilkins free kick, I watched it from the NS. Crikey, 33 years ago!

 

[Giraffe]

The Villa goal that cost us the title and me £1k. Have it in my mind to ask Stockdale for it if I ever bump into him. We could have had a chair in goal that day and come away with the win.

Beat me to it

The players going on the piss from the moment they won promotion cost you £1k

 

[chaileyjem]

Spurs was only a few weeks ago.

And the penalty shoot out v Man Utd is not even a year ago.

 

[portlock seagull]

Palace home only 3 season ago. Bentike and probably only shot all game

Casper was in goal that day I thought?

Oh yes - forgot the Spurs game. Obviously blanked it from memory!

Not sure that penalty shoot-outs count - not so much a 'last gasp' moment really,
