I have got to admit it hasn't happened to me much in recent years, only twice but i had a couple of corkers years ago in a set of circumstances that could only befit my calamitous and luckless persona! :-o
The recent ones first. I missed Burton Albions scorching winner at the Pirelli last month as i had to dash to the lavatory to relieve some rather distressing stomach issues and i also missed Danny Stevens 2nd goal at Sheffield United in the cup last year i think it was as i left when their 3rd went in as i was MAJORLY PEED OFF and just had to get out of there, it was like experiencing a whole new area of psychological phenomena - a footballing panic attack. ;P
In 1997 i think it was when i was a regular on the terraces at Boothferry Park, Hull i had a couple of shockers, one involving Torquay as it happened and both 3-3 draws. The first was against Oxford United and i missed all 3 of Hulls goals. The first one was scored in the 1st minute and i was making my way into the ground as i'd got there late, the second goal was scored in the first minute of the second half as i was still languishing at the rear of a formidable queue of rotund Humbersiders at the refreshments kiosk and the third was scored in injury time and i'd left on 90.

A few weeks later Hull played Torquay and if memory serves me right Hull were 3-0 up with about 5 minutes to go so i left early. I got in my car, put on BBC Radio Five Live and made my way home on the lonely stretch of the M62 westbound and eventually the classifieds came on and it said Hull City 3 Torquay United 3! I nearly smashed the car into some innocuous looking sheep! I had missed all 3 Torquay goals which were all scored after the 86th minute if memory serves me right.



So, please tell me your stories ladies and gentlemen.
