| I think memories of how tense things were fade a bit over time so Sunday's game would take some beating. I didn't see the last few plays as I was virtually under the seat in front of me with my head in my hands. I heard the crowd count down the last seconds then there seemed to be a lull which for me lasted about half an hour then things just went totally beserk. I was the same in 2005 at the end - the first I saw of Swainy's charge down was on TV afterwards  |

I think the countdown from 10 to 3 or 2, when it stopped completely as we all held our breath, will stay with me forever. That and the huge scream when Miller punched the ball out and the utter relief.
I was less tense in Cardiff as I felt we could do that. Sunday I just felt Wire were going to snatch it at the death.

| Quote pmarrow="pmarrow"1 minute 50 seconds in, is a moment I will take to the grave. The passion of miller and the celebration of the fans in the background.
We have our downs more then our Ups but I wouldn't swap the team I support for anything.'"
Tom Lineham as he scored that try. Goosebumps every time I watch it.
Sometimes we think they can't be bothered - Sunday was different. |

Which brings us back to 2013 and Sunday evening. Another CC semi-final, another frantic end to a game played out in an atmosphere of pandemonium bordering on hysteria. When Briers put the kick into the corner for Monaghan I honestly thought we were all going to have a collective heart attack. As the ball was punched out and[u the hooter went[/u, all I could see around me was a mixture of ecstasy and sheer relief in equal measure. We all know, only too well from many years of expeirence, just what a roller coaster ride it is following our club, but Sunday really was a new level of torture, even for us.

I never heard it I was celebrating that much! I've watched it back a few times now and I still can't hear it on the TV either  |

when Miller is celebrating, you see Radford in the Yellow t-shirt celebrate - but who is in the grey? is it Horney (minus protective boot)

Cardiff 05 because I couldn't see the clock where I was sat and when Cookie scored I thought there was like 10 seconds left but it seemed like 15 minutes.

| Quote BP1="BP1"Sunday was certainly one of the most nerve-wracking ends to a game I've witnessed for some time. It's brought back a couple of memories from past CC semi-finals that I'd nearly forgotten about.
!985 semi against Cas at Headingley, 10-10 with a couple of minutes remaining and defending for our lives against a Cas side playing for a winning drop goal. Ball goes back to Cas player (possibly Bobby Beardmore) but the kick drifts wide. From the resulting re-start we contrive to knock on and Cas once more drive in to set up another drop goal attempt. Once more we managed to thwart them (either by charging the kick down or by making the kick too difficult for the Cas player, I honestly can't remember the details). Seconds later hooter goes and we live to fight another day. Wednesday night replay ends in victory for us in what was, to put it mildly, a feisty affair.
Fast forward seven years and the 1992 semi against Cas (again) at Headingley (again). A minute left and we are trailing by 2 (10-8, 12-10 ?) with head & feed from a scrum about 25 out from their sticks. A fairly frantic set ensues which climaxes with Paul Eastwood on the very last play of the game being hauled down inches short of the line. The hooter goes and Wembley is gone having been less than a stride away.
Which brings us back to 2013 and Sunday evening. Another CC semi-final, another frantic end to a game played out in an atmosphere of pandemonium bordering on hysteria. When Briers put the kick into the corner for Monaghan I honestly thought we were all going to have a collective heart attack. As the ball was punched out and the hooter went, all I could see around me was a mixture of ecstasy and sheer relief in equal measure. We all know, only too well from many years of expeirence, just what a roller coaster ride it is following our club, but Sunday really was a new level of torture, even for us.
Oddly enough, all three of the games above where played to determine who would meet Wigan at Wembley.'"
Great post.
The 85 semi I remembered a bit differently. I thought we scored really late (Sterling) to salvage a draw and didn't recall them missing chances to win it late on but I was quite young and am sure you are right.
We blew them away in the reply in the first half I seem to remember and Jimmy scored a beauty.
In recent times away from what as already been mentioned I thought the grand final eliminator against Bradford was really tense but an absolutely fantastic atmosphere. |

| one that sticks in my mind is the game against saints in 2010 when Ticks kicked the drop goal on the dying seconds. It seemed after he kicked it that the ball was in the air for about an hour |
