    Hmmm, I think it’s every time we play you and you gift us three points. That’s really sporting of you 😁

    Sasa illic faking injury so that Andy Petterson could get his appearance bonus.


    ....apparently.
  • Didn't one of our players persuade a referee not book an opposing player? It's only a vague memory, so I need some help. Half of me thinks it was di Canio but I think it was years before that.

    This automatically made me think of Jackson squirting water on the pitch against against Doncaster when it ended up getting called off because of the rain. I can't recall the season but I'm pretty sure we were 3-1 down (?) and Donny players were out with brooms trying to clear it!

    We ended up winning the make-up fixture. 
    When we went to Doncaster for the playoff game I was having a beer outside the ground when an old woman Doncaster fan came up to me and started to abuse me because of that.
    I said sorry lady but I can't control the rain.

    She became very vocal and her husband was trying to pull her away.
    Not often I'm lost for words as you may know  

    But what the fuck was I meant to say to a geriatric old woman intent on having a row.

    Andy Hunt missing a sitter for us at his former club West Brom away. We were already up and they would have been relegated had they lost.

    I remember Chelsea away in the Carling Cup… in the final few minutes before it went to penalties the ball went out which I caught. I threw it back to Powelly but he said I threw it far too quick as the Chelsea players weren’t quite ready, or something like that, so he threw it back to me and asked me to hang on to it for a bit.

    i thought that was very sporting of him.

    In the Premiership years we had a bucket and sponge man who was so thin he was nearly wasting away. It was a most philanthropic action when Charlton fans would throw pies to him and serenade him with a happy song of food and love.
  • I think it was a Bolton at home game, 5 or 6 seasons ago, when one of their players stopped a rocket shot/clearance straight to the goolies and the crowd of around 17/18k strong instantly gave out a collective audible wincing noise in sympathy.

    We were playing Oldham at the Valley.

    A shot missed the goal, and hit the wall near the goal and bounced out onto the pitch.

    The referee gave the goal, their players objected, the players and crowd celebrated.

    Best sportmanship given by a referee, I have ever seen at a match.

    Very hard to believe, but it's true.

    Middlesbrough away - really cold. The coppers started handing out Bovril to their narks, which was very sporting of them to let us know who they were .........

    This did not involve Charlton, but the guy later played for us, Di Canio.
    Everton v West Ham, an Everton player was on the floor and clearly injured during the time the ball was crossed over to Di Canio, and instead of putting the ball in the back of the net he grabbed the ball to stop play.

    March 2000, when we presented cash-strapped (in administration) and bottom of the table Swindon Town with a cheque to keep their youth team afloat just before kick-off in our home game against them and then decided to let them end our 12 game winning run with a 1-0 defeat.
    Remember being pissed off after Deano had basically fumbled a low ball into the box into his own net, and Willie Carson came onto the pitch at half time and got roundly booed after chatting some shit about them getting the three points. Always hated that little shithouse.

    As recent results against Swindon go we have every reason to not like them, let alone a 5 stones 4'5 jockey.

    Charlton letting Birmingham win on the last day of the season 1993 so Brum could avoid relegation and ensure our fans could make it out of St Andrews alive.
    Could be wrong but didn’t Palace lose to Southampton that day 4-3 and go down?

    Or was it just my wish.

    Just for you.  It did happen and in front of The Covered End.

    I can tell you the most unsporting……

    I used  to sit in front row in East Stand so had the long walk upstairs at F/T. 
    After one match I was walking up and saw a £20 on a stair just in front of me. Another young lad (20 ish) also saw it and looked at me and said he’d lost a load of money at the bookies to suggest I should let him have it. 
    For some reason I was feeling benevolent and said “Go on mate…..you take it”. 
    He picked it up and with a beaming smile discovered and announced that it was in fact 2 x £20 notes folded up…..which he eagerly stuffed in his pocket and went on his way.
    Don’t get me wrong…..I love a bit of free money, but if the boot was on the other foot I would definitely have split the loot. 
    It’s probably the last time I did anything ‘nice’ 😄

    Perhaps it would have been a really ‘ nice ‘ gesture by you to have handed the money into the club office in case the real owner of the 40 quid asked the club if it had handed in!

    Dean Kiely chucked the ball in for Swindon and then we gave them the jackpot draw money as well!

    I was thinking of this as well.
    But didn't post as it wasn't a Charlton match.

    So we're covering about 70 years between us and no one can recall a sporting moment at a Charlton match.

    I mentioned this when I’d just joined this forum. I couldn’t remember who the opponents were but I can still remember the ball hitting the wall and the general amazement that a goal was given.

    I’ll always remember that non - goal…goal but for some reason I’ve always thought it went against Hull.
