WHAT A GAME THIS WAS !! ONE OF MY FAVOURITES GAMES I HAVE EVER BEEN TWO !!   Chris, Dave & Dennis all season ticket holders went to this one !!   The game was pretty even in the first half but second half Blues where the better team but could not find a breakthrough !!   Then unbelievably in the 89th minute Man City take the lead as Festa scrambles home from a corner !! Blues are stunned but keep going and eventually in injury time grab a equliser, Steve Bruce wins a head the goalkeeper paries it and Nicky Forster forces the ball over the line !! Then amazingly Blues win it, the Man City goalkeeper comes rushing out, Martin O'Connor gets the ball and hits a brilliant low shot from about 35 yards that the defenders cant get to and goes in the bottom corner !! St Andrews its rocking !!!!! The players go mad !!!! The fans go mad !!!! TF goes mad !!!!!!! Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the crazy celebration at the winner Dave manages to lose his and Chris's season tickets and later has to pay £20 to have some replacesments !!!   WHAT A GAME AND WHAT A THREE POINTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
