Well okay it didn't rain, the penalty wasn't missed and surprisingly no-one other than Aidy got send off (not that it made a great deal of difference).
But even so, this was up there, probably somewhere in the Top 20 greatest I've seen. Not quite to the standard of Kaiserluatern, 8-0 against Sunderland or Arsenal at Highbury in the cup, but probably alongside the 7-2 against Bradford and 3-0 home to Brentford in early 97/98. The only thing it lacked was us winning. But even so, the mightily impressive way this side fought their way back against a team we were never expected to beat, and considering our injuries AND the officials. It was inspiring and uplifting, it was excruciatingly frustrating and annoying, it was almost revenge and justice, it was endlessly entertaining. It was an epic.
The only slight concern I have is that it seems to take an event of that magnitude to get us going.
Sending off Aidy makes a difference of about 3 yards in all.
