Im bored so indulge me
The tramp who used to stand at the bottom of the loft in a big long coat that stank
Garry waddock doing his knee against Sheff Wed
the smell of Bovril and cigarette smoke during a night game
David Pizantis curler against West Ham
the ruck with Pompey in 96
pat van den hawe having a meltdown with the Loft over mandy smith
the Pannini family stand giving away sticker books and stickers
the Merger sit down protest against Man City
the floodlights failing against Forest in the freezing cold , then a huge off in the ER
Maccas last minute equaliser against Utd in the cup
|  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Woman running about on top of the SA Road boxes when we were smashing Palace 6-0.
The squirrel.
Joe Hylton yelling about Richard Thompson from dead centre, at the front of the upper loft, like a soap box speech.
The abuse we gave poor Andy Sinton when he came back with Wednesday.
King Kev's first goal.
Blizzard in October v Birmingham.
Leon Jeanne doing the most incredible bit of skill ever in front of the Loft... and that was it.
Woman taking off her shirt and waving it as she started the pitch invasion v Leeds.
Being chased by coppers around the ground after protesting after we beat Villa (I think) |  |

Yeah Pompey rioting. I've enjoyed their recent utter collapse. Shame they are still a club at all.
Trev's goal. But also, Gavin Peacock (who was rubbish) getting a good goal in the same game and Impey trying to murder some guy's face.
Me going nuts for a Jon Spencer hat trick but the 3rd goal being disallowed.
Chris Kiwomya's rubbish but useful hattrick against Palace. Georgie K's weird goal to start the rout.
C*ntona's c*nty goal in the 143rd minute. C*nt.
Bradley Allen kissing the badge. The Charlton badge. W*nker. Never forgiven him.
Our old scoreboard.
Having a seat in the Loft but standing behind it for most of the game because we were at the back and there wasn't enough leg room for Jeanette Krankie.
Rob Steiner losing a testacle.
Beating West Ham and going down.
Stuart Wardley. If I had been on Loft For Words back then (if it existed), I'd have never shut up about him.
The horror when we realised that Trev was gone and all we had to show for it was West Ham's worst ever players.
Peter Crouch being surrounded by three Arsenal players (in the 6-0 Cup defeat), flicking the ball up to his head and neatly passing it on. Skills.
Jurgen Sommer heroically winning us the game against Villa. The best keeping display ever. |  |
| Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. |

European football at HQ, turning Cologne over while sat next to a German.
Clive Allen's late winner in the FACQF and running the length of the pitch just to annoy Palace.
The Burnley keeper making his debut. Poor lad let in 7 (seven).
The 'last' game on grass and digging up the pitch at the end. Being in a huddle of Rfosi being interviewed by Kate Adie.
The 'first' game on plastic...lost!
The goal that never was against Blackburn.
Devon White's debut greeted with cries of, 'Bruno, Bruno'
Clive Walker's debut greeted with cries of, 'Flasher, Flasher' and then when he missed a good chance, the whole Loft handing down a volley of abuse.
The immense almost wild sensations at home to Palace and of course, Oldham, where I swear, the Loft stand actually rocked!
Wilkins' goal and bizarre celebration against Liverpool in the FAQF 1990.
The emotion of the Leeds promotion game. Flew back with the wife thousands of miles for that one. Had to. Teary eyed...ahh jeez filing up thinking about it now.
The cat who wandered in for games when it felt like it.
Johnny Byrne's miss at home to Chelsea, what would have been a belting goal.
Marc Nygaaaaaaard with venomous intent, running 50 yards to get into a ruck and when he got there, he bottled it. Everyone around me reduced to rubble laughing at the great oaf!
Gary Micklewhite's late, late equaliser.
With several good friends, witnessing our mate being buried in front of the Loft. |  |

All of them and loads more but will take far to long
Just wanted to say about the Burnley keeper
Billy O'Rourke died following a brain haemorrhage on 28 January 2002 aged 41
I do remember all the Rangers players going up to him at the end to console him

The snowy Sheff Utd - Paul Hart FA Cup game. Sat next to a wee autistic lad who cheered Patrick Agyemang on unrelentingly for 90 minutes. Taught me the meaning of being a real supporter.

"Garry waddock doing his knee against Sheff Wed"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I am still haunted by that. A routine, hard block tackle. The snap and yell were so loud the whole ground was in stunned silence for about 10 minutes. |  | | |

I'm going back a bit here, and I may have the name wrong, but my dad used to take me, and I remember him saying to me watch No9, George Whitelaw. Someone from the opposition always ends up on the deck, usually done by George, and sure enough it happened on quite a few occasions, but he was never anywhere near the player he just decked, normally at the opposite end to where the injured player was.
A diving header from Mike Keen, punched two fisted into the goal, it may have been against Peterborough. So many memories. | | | |

Wilkins Diving header against spurs in a 4-1 win
Falco with a broken nose and claret on his shirt with a winning volley against Sunderland
a tony cottee hatrick against us, 3-2 loss in the p1ssing rain in one of the best games ive seen
calling paul walsh a long haired hippy cnt only to see a massive bloke with long hair turn round and give me a deathly stare
Falco last minute winner vs spurs the loft went mental and I lost a trainer in the crush as I landed on a bloke with an inflatable crocodile
Kenny dagleish back heeling a ball over the bar from 2 yards out when we beat them 2-1 , then moaning and groaning on MOTD about our plastic pitch
Whiskey bottle being lobbed at seamen before Wegerle took a penalty
Trevor Francis missus running down the SA round in her fur coat to give him a kiss ( I still think she had no nickers on )
andy peace og , I was right behind it in the loft and I knew what would happen before he took a swing

not sure what the game was but anyone else remember when we came out for the 2nd half, Macca was at the front because he was captain.
He forgot that we'd been playing towards the Loft in the 1st half and briefly went and stood in the wrong half for the kick-off. The other players went the right way, and then they were giving him loads of stick when he realised and came over. |  | | |

One of the great things about the days of terracing was the feeling of losing yourself in the crowd and then going mental and jumping around when we scored. |  |

Is the tramp bloke the older bloke with the long hair (not my dad) who used to talk and sing to himself?
I made the mistake of standing next to him at the front on the loft for I think Nottingham Forrest (pearce was playing) God he stank but I didn't want to lose my spot.
I believe he had a carrier bag with him every time I saw him.
I remember the Pat Van Den Hawe night too. "There's only one Bill Wyman" |  |

Great thread mate. Already loooking forward to your Brexit and Trumps first week memories thread!
In no particular order and not read other posts so many may have already been mentioned but;
On the pitch at the Palace game and the Hull draw game
Similar to everyone remembering where they were when Kennedy was shot I remember where I was when Mark had his utterly awesome loan spell with us. It was Taarabtesque in the way he was just such a better footballer than every other Rangers player on the pitch. A joy to watch.
QPR 3 - 0 West Ham Relegation and "We'll Support You Ever More". Just wish someone would have said just how tough it was going to be!
Trevs Goal.
Highest level of disbelief ever achieved in my life (at that time) after 45 minutes of the Boro game.
"John Hollins & Gerry Francis Blue & White Armey". Obviously not sung at the same time but they were renditions that at times went on for absolutely ages. Great atmospheres. |  |

when everyone got on the pitch against City in 87 me and my old man were p1ssing ourselves watching him try and get over the barrier | |

alright Fred, im leaving the political threads alone now mate, its for the best ha ha
I recall the Johnny Hollins blue n white army chant for about 10 minutes from all sides of the ground against stoke
also "we're not Arsenal anymore " in the same game | |

Standing in the west paddock with an Arsenal fan, singing the 'you've got a f***ing big nose' song at (Arsenals) Alan Smith.
Much to the delight of said Arsenal fan! |  |
