From a personal point of view, that game was a bit special, and I'd rank it alongside ones like these...

My first Dons game, which was against Oldham at the NHS. It reignited my love of footy after a long break.

The League Cup game away at Cardiff on a Tuesday night. Where 101 of us outsang an entire stadium. Yes we lost, but the camaraderie was special.

Wembley. Not so much for the match, but rather the experience.

United, obviously.

The promotion game against Yeovil.

The first KFC match. Which still ranks as my greatest footy experience.

Forest away when we were in The Championship. Just an absolutely brilliant day.

I've said recently that I couldn't give two fucks whether we win, lose or draw, but I was genuinely nervous towards the end of the game. So perhaps I'm not as dissociated as I'd wish.

But at the end of the day, it was a great afternoon. We'd asked Neilson to show some passion, and boy did he. It obviously made it a bit special as it was against them, and I'm not sure that it would've been as special against someone else. The team were ecstatic at full time. I don't really know what else you can ask. We'll probably revert to norm this afternoon, but whatever happens, Saturday was a bit of a turning point for me.
Top post.

This. Although personally I only have a shortlist of three at the top level, the others being KFC mark I in 2012 and Tranmere in 2005, because they also went down to the last minute with tension so high.

I agree, but that was over after an hour.

I can't go out. I have a moral responsibility to crush the spirits of any Dons supporter should there be a faint glimmer of hope at any point during the season. Hope to see business as usual resume at 5pm this evening.

Happy New Year everybody.

That's fine if all you care about is the occasional entertaining game. But I want to see us progress. A hard fought victory with 9 men is great entertainment, but doesn't change our season. If it spurs us on then great, but if we lose to Oxford, it means nothing in terms of our season and our form will still be atrocious. Why does it matter where I watch the game from? I'll be at the game tomorrow, just like I am for most away games (barring the Scunthorpe, Donny and Rotherham games I missed), but even if I wasn't I still care about the result and the club. You aren't any more of a fan for physically being in the stadium, you should know that by now.

The occasional entertaining game is not all we care about. We want results.

BUT... that wasn’t an entertaining game. That was a great experience. It became a rare event that pushed everything else off the plate for the day.

To see and hear every single player putting everything in against the odds, including those off the ball who you don’t often see on TV doing their covering and keeping shape, to feel the rising tension of everyone in the crowd as those 68 minutes ticked slowly away, then to hear that final whistle and have every Dons fan in the stadium stand as one, applauding and cheering, and hardly anyone leaving until all the players were down the tunnel...


This.

That.
Go out tonight Filthy, and find that girl... ;)

...And Happy New Year.

These.
HNY Filthy.
