If you were around in the sixties, there were just too many to choose from, so it's a blessing that I can't remember many of them - well, not for the football anyway. One that does stick in the memory though (and that's only because it was the World Cup) was the dire 0-0 draw between West Germany and Argentina in 1966, and about the only thing that was memorable was the entire group of Argie supporters - perhaps as many as 10 of them in the Trinity who spent the whole game shouting AR-GEN-TI-NA, AR-GEN-TI-NA.....

I was at one of those Everton 0-0s in the 90's. It was a Sunday afternoon and the game was live on Sky. Me and my lad (who was about 8 at the time) sat in the Trinity Road Corner of the Holte right at the front and when I saw the highlights on Sky we were on TV every time there was a corner. We were surrounded by totally empty seats you see. It was around Christmas and we had to go to the pantomome straight after to see Des O'Connor, Harold Bishop from Neighbours, The Chuckle Bros and Brum the Car. I tell you now I couldn't bloody wait to get in that nice warm Hippodrome Theatre away from this apology of a football match and the freezing cold.

West Ham at home. March 1997  .
0-0 with nothing of note whatsoever happening.
The dullest game that I bothered to trek across the Irish sea for.

My first ever game!

A 0-0 at home to Liverpool in MON's first season stands out as one of the dullest games I've seen.

Another 0-0 against everton came just after the 94 cup win, that was a bad night despite the trophy being paraded.

The 1-0 home defeat by Blackburn in what turned out to be O'neill,s last match takes some beating, i felt like going home at half time i was so bored.

The beautiful football of the 66 argentinian team displayed here. What did Alf call them.....animals ?

The Stoke home game this season was pretty dismal, so much so that I went from actively supporting Stoke's bid to win the FA Cup against Money City to hoping that such a bunch of dullards got nowhere near the trophy.

The Valencia 0-0 just before O'Neill walked was terrible too.

Two games both from the 94/95 season one against Everton the other against Leeds both bloody awful and cold.

Most `Boro games from the Eighties, exception being, when we belted `em in `81, and our usual nightmare against Manchester city, cant speak for anyone else, but i HATE that fixture.

A game vrs Oldham a week before the 94 Carling Cup final springs to mind think we lost 1-0.

Villa at home to Ipswich 0 0 can't remember if it was late 70s or early 80s, but a flock of pigeons sat in the centre circle and was there all the match !

Spot on Sir Paul -  that is my nomination too.

It was in 1975-76, our first season back in the top flight and we were pretty average that year, staying up thanks to our home form. Nothing happened all afternoon, and a flock of pigeons were literally able to sun themselves in the torpor of one of the most apathetic displays by any group of professional athletes - and fans - ever assembled. The one event counting against this nomination was a piledriver from Chris Nicholl which I think hit the bar and came down near the penalty spot. Andy Gray rather amazingly went for it with his feet and not his head, and splattered their keeper who lost a few teeth and sustained a broken nose in the process. I think it was Lawrie Saville rather than Paul Cooper in goal that day, and he must have rued his selection as he lost a fair bit of blood.

The pigeons fled during the attack that led to this incident and then safely settled back down as the medics did their job. I have seen worse games, notably any home match v Boro in the mid to late 70s, but none so dull as this one.

The recent game at home to Wigan was a chore to watch. If it werent for the goals i'd have fallen asleep with the rest of the lethargic crowd.
