Biggest game you've missed?

[Andy McGurk]

As someone who lives quite far away from Goodison, I like to make time to watch Everton live as much as I can, especially recently now you can stream live games online and I can now afford to drive to one off home games a season.

Sunday I have an important gig in Nuneaton, which I have to be there for 4, this means I'm gonna miss the Arsenal game, which I am slightly cheesed off about. Most likely I'll be in a car which won't have the radio on.

Can't remember a bigger game I've not known what's going since our 95 cup win (I was 8 at the time though, still annoyed I missed it).

What was the biggest game you completely missed? What were you doing instead and how did you feel?

Good thread this.

I sort of missed the Wimbledon game.

I listened to the first half in the radio but when it was 2-0 I couldn't stand it. So went and played football with my mates.

Come home and dreams had been made!

Missed the first 5 minutes of the Wimbledon game standing in a huge que outside. I then realised it was people desperate enough to try and pay at the gate and I had a ticket so pushed my way to the front and eventually got in. Only to then find some big fella sitting in my seat, then having to argue with him to get him to move so probably missed the first 10 minutes in all.

I missed the 4-4 with Man United

Had to get it on a bootleg DVD

I was gutted

Was somewhere without SKY access

Heard the score on the radio and was a mixture of proud and also infuriated

By virtue of the fact that I've lived in Oz for most of my life I've missed many big matches, but one which was played when I lived in Liverpool springs to mind immediately.
Liverpool, the city, was abuzz with the prospect of a local derby in the FA Cup 6th round when Liverpool played a 5th round replay against Man City at Anfiield in 1956, having been drawn against Everton in the
quarter final if they won.
I sagged school - Webster Rd CP Edge Hill - to go the match. The reds got beat and I, a little kid, was desperate to go to the match at Maine Road. Our next door neighbour was going and was asked to take me, but he wouldn't.
I can still remember how unhappy I was.

Week after the Derby at Wembley wasn't it?

I felt the same mate.

Indeed mate

I watched the Semi Final in a pub, half full of City fans and the other half Liverpool

City beat Norwich something like 7-0

I was the most miserable man in the whole pub and surrounded by happy people

Sickening

!966 FA CUP Final. I went to every game in the run up home and away but right at Cup final time I was taken ill and unable to go.

Ah mate. That's bad!

I've watched that game loads and loads on DVD. It's brilliant.

Thanks Ijjy.

I wasn't able to attend the now legendary Bayern Munich home leg and that is something I regret.

 

[connor.tinnion - scam]

I missed the 2-0 derby win over Liverpool in 2010, we've never won a derby I've been to so just my luck the one where my season ticket had problems we won!

I'm going to miss the game this weekend because of Duke of Edinburgh...

Psyche, it can piss right off. Allez Allez Allez Oh!
