Can someone explain the Manchester City 80th minute roar that I read about?
As I understand it, Rory Delap was red carded by a Shaun Wright-Phillips Oscar performance, and the crowd reacted with a huge sound throughout the stadium that wasn't quite a conventional boo.
Is there a video? All I could find was a clip of people singing "Shaun Wright-Phillips you're a wanker, you're a wanker, you're a wanker" which I presume isn't what people refer to as the roar.

Players dead on their feet after being given the run around in the 2nd half,crowd sensed the players needed help so they nearly took the roof off.still get goosebumps to this day,never heard anything like it before in my life. Wouldn't happen now,most people back in cars by 80th minute 😉

Thought it was alot earlier than the 80th minute It was around the 80 minute mark. It was unbelievable. James Beattie said in all his years in football he'd never heard anything like it. Them were the days. |

This is the video I saw by the way. Lots of booing and wanker chants, but nothing I'd call a roar....

It was a visceral, animal, heartfelt expression of 20,000 people's defiance and support of their team.
It was loud and it was beautiful.
I've never experienced anything like it and I'm pretty sure it will never be repeated.
In a sseason where our support was relentless, hostile and ear-splitting it stood out as a unique high point.

It was the best thing I've experienced in a football ground in 28 years of life on this planet, it was every single Stoke fan having the same thought in one go, and that was to drag those 10 lads on the pitch across the finishing line. They were absolutely fucked, they'd worked their absolute bollocks off cancelling out a Man City team who, man to man, were about 10x more skillful than each of them. It was absolutely mint and epitomised that amazing relationship we had with the players in the 2007-2010 seasons.

From the first minute of the second half there was jeering and booing, aimed at both Manchester City players and ref. It rang incessantly and was maintained up to the 80 minute mark.
As some fans were flagging (as well as our players), the roar was started to say to players and fans alike, 'Come on, 10 or so more minutes of this and we've pulled off the result of the century'. The roar spread and kept going for a good 20 seconds; after which the continued jeering and booing kept on for the remainder of the match.

This is the video I saw by the way. Lots of booing and wanker chants, but nothing I'd call a roar.... That video is the goal just before half time. Rory Delap was sent off in the 36th minute. Funnily enough the Man City fans had been chanting "where's your long throw gone?" not long before Stoke took the short throw in, went down the left wing and scored. The crowd roar came much later in the last ten minutes of the match. As someone else mentioned, it boosted a tired team and helped them get over the finish line. It was more of a "Go on..." type of roar than a boo or anything like that. |

I had assumed it was in reaction to the Delap red card, but apparently not. |

By the time of the roar the players were knackered and the hostility to SWP had transformed into a desperate need to keep them going. Every song had been sung at 11 and all that was left was a collective noise. It grew and lasted maybe 10-20 seconds before more human expressions of support resumed. It worked. The players were magnificent that day but we were the difference. |

Them were the days. Sorry, i was getting confused. I was thinking of the time of the sending off(36th min), not of the actual roar(80th min) |

Them were the days. Similar episode,maybe not of quite the same magnitude,in the 3-1 Boxing Day stuffing of the Scourers,think it was prompted by a passage of lung busting pressing from SJW,even merited a mention in the match write-up in one broadsheet,if memory serves? |

Everyone just knew the team needed a lift to get them through the last ten minutes. It's difficult to describe, not so much a coordinated chant of "go on" - more so a deafening, primal eruption of noise, screaming, passion, encouragement etc. |

It was just one of those moments where all were like minded, and instinct took over. |

Those first few years in the prem were the best ever. Its totally lost its heart now for me, for many reasons. I think it will take a fall from grace and fire brand recovery to ever rekindle the passion that we all felt during those years. That much heart, that much fire, only comes following years of adversity.

The roar started at the back of the Sentinal stand, block 28/29 and spread almost instantaneously around the stadium. Everyone could see that the lads were beginning to flag and the roar gave them a huge boost. In 50 years of supporting Stoke I've never known anything like it.

I loved this game. Delap was sent off midway through the first half. Wright-Phillips had got away with a shocking foul and Delap ran up and booted the ball into his leg. If we think the reffing is biased now, the refs were incredibly biased against us at this time. Wright-Phillips perhaps should have walked for his foul which wouldn't have seen Delap go.
Sensing the injustice, Stoke fans united and booed and whistled the ref and Man City players whilst they were in possession. The noise was ear splitting. I had a banging headache and couldn't wait for half time for a break in the noise.
The 'Robinho she said no' and 'touch of a rapist' songs were directed at the forward who had faced allegations of rape earlier that week and he had a shocking game.
As others have said, the lads were out on their feet and a lot of fans were feeling a bit worse for wear too. Somewhere in the dpd stand, people started shouting Go on, probably to a bit of pressing which we did and it spread throughout the stands. It visibly gave the players a lift and we got through the game.
Was quite funny to see the City players avoid passing the ball to SWP and when he did get it, releasing it as quickly as possible, due to the intensity of the vitriol that came from the stands. I like to think that the fans evened that match up by taking him out of the game that day, as he was pretty useless after the 'decision.'
Anyone remember who the ref was that day?

Nothing really as I remember, it just kind of happened Craig Bellamy danced through and curled an effort marginally over the bar. The players were dead on their feet, the crowd knew it and reacted accordingly. It was an amazing moment of unadulterated passion. |

Went similar the other year when Ryan was sent off against spurs. Half the spurs team crawled up in their own arses and sherwood said after the game it was frightening
