The picture of him celebrating his penalty in front of the fans, is the biggest memory for me as an RDFC fan!

Seeing at Tommo's scored 6 goals in all competitions for Peterborough this season I think we can safely say that the statement bellowed out at the end of the video is incorrect. :D
I still remember that day like it was yesterday!! We all got soaked but it was worth it, and Tomlins celebration was the icing on the cake... also loved Azza's and Corky's shhhhh to their supporters!! :D

It's amazing how many great memories that unstable slab of concrete holds. Duan's game which encapsulates the man we all love, Tommo staying on his feet as a scum defender desperately tried to clip his heels before launching that unstoppable shot in the 3-0 game. Even Sam Smoth equalisingin the 1-1 draw at the start of the 'big push' season.

Nowhere else have I seen a flare dispatched onto the pitch and a man try to put it in an empty bucket, only for it to melt through the bottom during the first of those two pre season games meant to calm the hatred between the fans.

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

Agreed, so many great memories :) Even last season in the FA Cup game, Spence( :shock: ) and Howe put us 2 up, then Sturat gets sent off and they get one back. Great back to the walls job for the last 25 minutes, I remember Huke and Osano were fantastic at CB that day.

Are you referring to that moron in the white t-shirt? (I think it was?) I could see him from where I was standing (far end of concrete slab nearest the away fans stand).....he seemed more interested in trying incite our fans, than actually watch the game, think he got kicked out eventually.

Was still a fantastic day, and the 3-0 scoreline made up for getting absolutely soaked!! :D
