what a game, whan an atmopshere. You struggle for years with this club for moments like this.
-
I cried
-
Completely bonkers run of games. Madness!
-
Anderson's slide pass to Rowe!!!!!!
-
That pass was superb
-
Absolutely insane today. Quote from the Barrow forum says it all about this team right now:
'Disgusting, feel sick after that, hope Crawley keep them out the playoffs don't want to play them there at all as they're seriously dangerous'
-
If we make it, nobody will want to play us!
-
Only team that can keep us out of the playoffs is ourselves
-
Only team that can keep us out of the playoffs is ourselves
I believe that now. And I think the player's do also. The confidence is there.
-
Wow. At half time I thought OK the run was good while it lasted. At 2 - 2 I thought well a point's better than nothing. After that I was screaming like a 10 year old. What a performance, what a team. This really is a once in a lifetime experience. To all the players, management and everyone at DRFC thank you, thank you, thank you. I know we've won nothing yet but what a turnaround since Xmas.
Wish we could play Everton now! I love this club. RTID.
-
It will live in the memory that one. The craziest scenes when the goals went in. Especially the second and third. What a magnificent effort from the whole team. Proud as punch
-
Colchester are essentially safe after Sutton failed to win. That may take the edge out of Tuesday's game on their side of things.
Likewise, Gillingham have nothing to play for next weekend.
-
The good thing is all those who attended today, who might not usually, have see a fantastic game and a rovers win.
If that doesn’t encourage some to attend more often, nothing will
-
The only thing that could stop us is over confidence. To come from two down in a game of that magnitude, proves beyond all doubt this side can perform under pressure. Keep working hard and get us promoted .
-
I would love to know the instructions McCann gave to Anderson when he came on. We went to 3 at the back and he was making run after run into their half!
-
As I said on Lucky Pint, this was the ultimate test, the first time we have had to fight back and show real character harnessing our undoubted skill to full effect. But we will carry this experience into the last 2 games further increasing overall confidence throughout the squad.

A propper " I was there" game. Sharing that with my Mum & Dad next to me, brother and neice in eyeshot in the East is bang up there with one my favourite moments I have witnessed at the Keepmoat/ Eco Power. Rowes cross to Biggins was like slow motion and when it hit the net I just cant remember the 60secs afterwards. My head had completely gone (without being one of those morons that ran onto the pitch). Send a rocket upto space cos its gonna take me a while to come down from here.

I've spent about 3 years watching shite each week as many of us have. It's making this sweeter. Feels like we deserve it after the shite 3 years we've had.
-
It’s been so bad at times, so bad. Almost forgot the lowest point but probably going 3-0 up at Morecambe. Moment third went in I knew we would end up losing.
Wouldn’t say it was all worth it but certainly this makes up for a lot of the last three seasons.
-
A win for the ages

Me & the grandson today, his third game & he never asked how long before we go home today, he absolutely loved it, as did his grandad.
-
Thought it was going to be typical donny. Get a big crowd and lose badly. But wow what a game!!!
-
I was emotional just arriving and seeing how full the ground was- to then see that fight back was just incredible
-
That is the loudest I've ever heard the Keepmoat after the 3rd went in, all three sides joining in the singing. If that doesnt hook the part timers nothing will!
-
The south stand was actually moving after the third, a new experience in the moat for me
-
Biggins goal is up there with one of my favorite ever goals
-
The south stand was actually moving after the third, a new experience in the moat for me
I've just said that to a mate. I've never felt the Keepmoat shake before but I swear I felt it.
-
A shaking Keepmoat/Eco, …..now known a a ‘Barrow moment’ step aside Mansfield
-

The noise after that third goal was amazing.
Another fantastic moment given to us by the team.
-
One for the ages that. F**king unreal.
Didn’t even matter that we weren’t great for most of it. Once the clock started to tick down at 1-2 it was like we became possessed and just blew them away.
Great changes by Grant. Completely changed the game. He knew what we had to do and it was about nothing else other than that last 30 mins, getting men in the box and causing chaos.
What a bloody cross by Rowe for that third goal. If this is the end of his Rovers career then he has cemented his place as a legend for that.
-
I cried
You were not the only one!! :woohoo:
-
Missus dropped me off and went shopping circa 4.10 she was in the outlet and could hear the ‘Rovers Roar’ she said it was an incredible Din!
-

Shaking? Or a slightly different movement after the Barrow Bounce?
-
My business partner took his young en today, he had got free tickets through their rugby club. Gave him a lift home and said the noise from the South was deafening and gave him goosebumps. His 10yr old claimed it was the best game he has watched in his life and has seen over a dozen Man Utd games this season. So proud tonight and I hope the club feel it.
-

This team reminds me so much of that Penney team that took the L2 Title. That knowledge that if they go behind, they'll simply turn it up a notch and sweep them away. Not seen a Rovers side play with this level of swagger in quite some time.
-
That was ridiculous. I think it’s the best game I’ve ever seen. At HT I was thinking ‘oh no, all these people here for the first time in ages and we’re bloody losing’
But master tactician GM and a huge helping of grit and determination pulled it out of the bag and that’s putting it lightly.
Wow.

Thats just it isn't it. I thought... friggin sods law and my phone is gonna go mad at HT. Incredible.
-
Id said in an earlier thread it would be interesting to see how we dealt with having to come back from a goal down, but bloody two!
The response from the lads was fantastic, the never say die attitude coupled with a crowd who after a mediocre first half were well up for it, brought it home.
The best self generated atmosphere we've ever had at the Eco. Fantastic.
-
I actually feel sorry for armchair glory supporters, they'll never feel anything like we did today. Never seen and feel apart of something magical. You would never have the same connection from a settee.

That's true. You have to live and breath it
-
What a team. Earlier in the season 2 nil down at half time it would have been game over. But today at half time I actually believed we could still win 3-2. I was wrong though because we went and got FOUR just to help with the goal difference!
-
10.000 home fans I reckon in a crowd of 10.251
Don’t think Barrow had more than 250
Brilliant to see so many there. That was about as loud as I have ever heard it when we got that 3rd goal. And what a goal
Biggins was like Martin Peters arriving from no where to bullet a deader into the net.
-
Fantastic game. At half time we were saying in the concourse - whole city comes out and usual fair. But I just had a feeling one goal, we could win this. The crowd were the 12th man. One of the best come backs since that semi with Crewe in the JPT. This is why we love love club. Our club our city!
-
As an oldish supporter now, I have been used to DRFC not performing in front of a big home crowd, so that old familiar feeling was back, and tinged with a slight embarrassment I had allowed myself to dream.
Then the second half happened. :rtid:
To be fair, in the keepmoat/eco we have done better in front of big crowds.

Barrow brought 454.

I think thats the best game ive ever seen at the keepmoat. I sit in the west stand in line with the 6 yard box and that cross for the third goal just seemed to hang in the air forever. I can still see it now in my minds eye. Then Biggins comes from nowhere with a bullet header and oh my God - delirium. What a game, what a day, what a time to be alive!
-
I can’t match the wonderful posts on this thread but I can’t help but throw in my garbled thoughts on this amazing day.
My wife joined me for the 4-hour journey to the game today for only her second game of the season. Her first was the disastrous 0-5 humiliation against Morecambe.
Mrs Pancho’s Mum passed away last Saturday.
We’ve had an awful week.
I got my wife a ticket last week and encouraged her to come along and forget her sorrows for a day.
At half time we were quiet and she was saying she’d brought us bad luck after our amazing run.
Then came the second half. Possibly the most incredible second half I have experienced in my 55 years supporting the Rovers.
With Mrs Pancho to my left and my beloved brother to my right, we just went completely bonkers as each of those 4 goals went in.
The atmosphere for those last 30 minutes was nothing short of incredible.
This amazing club of mine are such a vital and important part of my life. Today, those heroic players have turned our family’s grief into utter joy.
I could never support another club and I will never forget today.
-
Today is what it's all about.
It is why we keep going, even when it's shit. A belief that eventually a special day like today will come along.
Fantastic.
Hopefully not the last of it this season.

Really. Did not look that many. Oh well that 9.800 home fans then. Not long ago we were only getting 5.800
-
Heh,
Is it really so long ago that 2 or 3 thousand was typical?
Rovers have come a long way

Stay strong mate

Great noise in the second half and an enjoyable day all round.
I’ll be taking a few more games in next season.

Colchester are essentially safe after Sutton failed to win. That may take the edge out of Tuesday's game on their side of things.
Likewise, Gillingham have nothing to play for next weekend.
Colchester won’t be safe if we stuff them 6-0. Gives Sutton hope.

Thank you Scawsby for those kind words, much appreciated.
As long-standing supporters I think we understand what an important part our wonderful club plays in our lives.
Experiences like today can lift us from sadness and take us to the heights of joy and happiness.
Love this club.

Regarding your undoubted feelings for the club, the investment of your emotions for this group of players, relentless belief, wanting to share all of that with your nearest & dearest & witnessing what as you so eloquently put it, must be the most (I’m struggling for an appropriate word here)…’surreal’ come back many of our supporters for generations back will have witnessed.
You mate have just posted THE post of the day.
Bless you for sharing & may the ‘Rovers family’ see you through your tough times.

Missus dropped me off and went shopping circa 4.10 she was in the outlet and could hear the ‘Rovers Roar’ she said it was an incredible Din!
I wondered when the goals (particularly the third) what it would sound like to shoppers at the outlet. And whether any of them thought "bloody hell that sounds good, I might give it a go."
-
Anderson's slide pass to Rowe!!!!!!
Anderson running towards 18 yard line and looking for someone , anyone to pass to made me lol
Didn't take much yesterday
There was another forward run from him when he shaped to shoot and I thought goal of the millennium if he scores from there

You don't look old enough Spud. I looked for you over car park but maybe better I didn't find you as you would have had another young un in tow
I'd gone back to 10 years old. :blush: :blush:

Yes , shades of 66 that was and as said elsewhere on here it seemed to happen in slow motion
Similar to Martin Peters as well but I definitely cheered more yesterday than 66 despite being just 15 back then and feeling 10 yo yesterday
Completely lost my street cred yesterday
-
Is there any way of watching that game again?
Yes full match replay is available to iFollow members , if you pay for a months sub about £4 I think you can watch full game back
-
I've been doing some research into the roar after the Biggins goal and after a couple of hundred listens (for statistical significance purposes like) I can confirm its the loudest we've heard at that ground.

Welling up again reading all of this.
What a weekend.

Still Buzzing this morning. Keepmoat was bouncing yesterday. My son was beside himself, best game ever he said[hard to impress a 16 year old lad].
Sorry for your loss Pancho hope yesterday gave your a break.
-
Really enjoyed my first visit to the eco power stadium today.
Great noise in the second half and an enjoyable day all round.
I’ll be taking a few more games in next season.
Glad you enjoyed it, mate. Yesterday reminded me why I love football. Absolute pandemonium.
I know a fair few Wednesday fans that respect Donny and wish them well, particularly during this run.
Another three points down at Colchester please!

Found myself getting really involved referring to Donny as us and we :lol: ;)
I may purchase a 5 game match package for next season just to start off with.
It’s got a brilliant community feel about the place

Anyone else feel that this game was like that away game vs Mansfield in 2003/04?

if you turn up the volume of the device on which you are listening, it gets even louder - same if you leave the volume alone but stand closer to the speakers; putting your fingers (or those belonging to someone else) in your ears has the opposite effect...

Just picked this up Pancho and I reiterate my sincere commiserations to Karen , Brian , Kevin and you and your girls .

Your wish of three points at CUFC has been granted, another four in the onion bag
Please come along again we appreciate your support.

Sorry for your loss Pancho hope yesterday gave your a break.
My 16 year old said the same, he hugged me when the third went in. It was his best moment as a Rovers fan and as few folks have said about their lives, I have banked it in the shared experiences memory box.
