Was it 1974 when we lost 2 - 8 to Bristol Rovers ?

There must be another more recent game when we capitulated so badly ? I hope they are really ashamed of themselves today .

We used to be good at defending . Whats going on?

Can't recall if they were all in the same half but pretty sure we were 2 up against Sheff Utd (?) at Withdean and lost 4-2.

Remember there also being a near riot and the police came out with batons holding back the crowds from lynching the ref!

I remember being 3-0 down to Walsall at half time roughly 10 years ago, and the manager (can't remember who) substituting 3 defenders at the break.

As a counter argument when did we score four goals in one half? Norwich at home in our promotion season, when we won 5-0. The year before when we scored four against Leeds in the first half .

I think we were 5-0 up at half time when we beat Charlton 7-0?

I remember being 0-3 down in a boxing day game at Gillingham (Colchester??) and coming back to draw 4-4. It was probably my favourite Gillingham game - although the bar wasn't exactly set high in those seasons.

In the 90/91 season we lost 6-1 away at Oldham - yes Oldham. I'm pretty sure they got two thirds of those goals in the 2nd half.

Bang on. 2-0 at half time. Plastic pitch and an Andy Ritchie hattrick iirc

Do you live in a Monastery and ''self flagellate'' ?

And Ivor Caplin came on the wireless at the end of the game and said he was going to bring up Ref Phil Prosser’s performance in Parliament 🙈

To which Steve Coppell replied, in Hawesy’s interview, “Shouldn't he (Caplin) be concentrating on other things, like World Peace?”😂

Prosser was appaling. Still the worst ref I have ever seen. Blades scored a penalty and he patted the kick taker on the back. The Ref actually celebrated with one of the teams..! Stunning behaviour.

The one and only football game my ex-wife ever went to. She was scared to death at the end.

Sheffield United at Withdean October 2002 springs to mind. Identical situation, 2 nil up at half time, and after an 18 minute 4 goal blitz by the Blades we lost 4-2!!

Oh yeah I remember that. We thought we were finally going to win a game that season and then they smashed us. Remember listening on the radio. Who was their big guy that scored all the goals?
