I don't really want to talk about it, see it as a riddle...  |

I can't believe I read medibot's post and re-lived that miss, I had manage to persuade myself it never happened  |

All right. I'll do it. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of Kingstonian FC (hereafter referred to as K-Scum) stealing the childhood dreams of many a Sutton fan. Bear with me. I may start to cry and not be able to see the screen properly. I take no responsibility for any typing errors.  It was season 1999-2000. Sutton United in the Conference. Having won the Ryman League title by 11 points the previous season, we'd lost our best players and were doing VERY badly. In fact we spent the entire season firmly rooted to the bottom of the table. fod will probably remember this, being a Hereford fan! Anyway. We all knew we had no chance of staying up. We'd been cruelly dumped out of the FA Cup at the hands of Rushden & Diamonds (hard to believe now that we were in the same league) who scored, I think, 14 goals against us in that one season! BUT we had one thing going for us in that sad, sad season. The FA Trophy. We'd had our league and FA Cup hopes cruelly dashed, but for some reason we were doing really well in the Trophy. We'd beaten other Conference teams that we couldn't score against for toffee in the league. Dover Athletic, who were something ridiculous like 2nd in the league. Rushden and Diamonds, believe it or not. At their place. 3-1. One of the best Sutton memories I possess. Amazing evening, wonderful atmosphere...even the coach journey was terrific! So. We reached the Trophy semi-final. We'd been drawn against local rivals K-Scum (at the time they were Conference too), who hated us with a passion. the feeling was mutual. We knew that if we could beat R&D we could beat Them. First leg of a two-legged semi at home. Boring game. 1-1. Ok. Second leg of the semi-final at their place. All we had to do was beat them and we'd be in the Trophy final! I won't go into details. We lost 6-0 I burst into tears on the terraces and was beyond consolation. I've never forgiven K-Scum for that day  |

lol, he's not friends with us either, mainly for those reasons. Amusingly enough, i was waiting for a lift to game recently with ambersalamander and we were still in Sutton, the Weymouth coach passed us, fair enough, they were at away to Carsh*ton which is down the road (literally) from us. Anyway, we noticed this and ambersalamander decided to make her Sutton fan-ness noticeable, nobody looked except a totally bewildered looking Craig O'Connor! Made me crack up laughing, considering he was the only Weymuff player i'd've recognised too it adds a bit to the story that i can name the bewildered player |

Tommy Smith (Liverpool hard man) at a sportsmans evening told this tale.
The game was in it's opening minute and Tommy "introduced"himself to Leighton James, a renown whinger(appearently) in his customary fashion with a crunching tackle accompanied with the comment "come here again and I'll break your f*****g spine".
"Did you hear that ref" Complained James "what ya going to do about it"
"Me" replied the ref "i'm not going to do anything, but if I were you I'd f**k off over there if I was you".

Bloody K's, last ever final at the proper Wembley, will never get over that. Oy! More than one team beginning with K played in that final ... and a damn good final it was too, despite the result. Not that I'm biased in any way at all cos I'm notbonehead |

Yeah, and the other team beginning with K screwed up and lost and made it ten times worse |

To be honest the other team beginning with K didn't deserve to win it despite being 2-1 ahead at one stage because of a very dodgy penalty decision. It was hard to accept that an ex-other team beginning with K player scored the winning goal, though.
