i remember a game against Tranmere at the Vic just after they changed the rules so a goalie couldn't pick up a backpass. Stoke are a goal up and pretty comfortable then with about ten to go one of our defenders (cranson?) skewed a clearance somehow backwards over his own head from the edge of the box. Keeper caught it almost on the goal line and the ref gave the freekick. one of the first times the entire team was a wall on the goalline but they smashed it in.
about five minutes later they scored again with a goal that looked about ten yards offside. never seen a replay so dunno. but i was seething as we came out. and i clearly wasn't alone as we emerged into the middle of a full scale riot.

Strangely I was actually angry and p****d off before watching the Besiktas away match. I'd somehow lost my mates who had my ticket, had armed police escort me through the home fans to our end, finally found my mates and got in. Annoyed we lost, but what a magnificent couple of days that was. What an atmosphere in the ground too, without doubt the best away match I've attended.

Any defeat to the Vile. Watching their end erupt at full time like a boil spraying out pus still makes me want to puke.

It was a game we actually won, comfortably, the ear-cupping really pissed me off. After enduring a relegation and season after season of piss poor performances on and off the pitch no genuine fan deserved to see that. A seething sight and unwarranted gesture.

Strangely was talking re that Tranmere back pass game the other day
Leicester second leg play off. Pumping the ball to their giant centre backs, they had it won from the kick off and MON Mustn't gave been able to believe his luck. So much at stake and we played into their hands so easily. Were never in it yet we continued with the same tactics and made it easy for them. Whole season flushed away that night

The 2-2 home match against Leicester wound me up probably more than any game in the last decade.
2-0 up at half time playing against 10 men and I think Leicester had about 6 other players on a yellow card too.
Hughes then put on a second half exhibition of some of the worst game management you’re ever likely to see.

FA Cup Semi Final against Arsenal at Hillsborough. We were 2 0 up and coasting to our first final. We were cheated by that scum. I was only 11 at the time, I left the ground crying

Coventry at home in the FA Cup in 87, that penalty we never got.
There's been quite a few where I've been filming at the mouth, but just shrug the shoulders these days and onto the next one.

I wasnt angry last night, just a bit cross as I thought we blew a game we were in control of with some mediocre tactics and subs Anger....now that comes in many forms. My Facebook feed can be interesting, and I chuckle when I see them pop up in memories! Jones after the Huddersfield 'must win' game at home made me cross why we hadnt already sacked him, a charlatan Rowett made me continually angry, I just didnt like him, the sides he picked, his negative tactics, his treatment of Bojan, I constantly ranted about wanting him gone pretty much after 5 games Lambert I didnt get cross with, I felt a bit sad for him, he had plenty of chances to keep us up, but a combo of bad luck and poor play (Butlands mistakes, Charlies pen, the abject Palace display) Hughes I was dismayed with rather than angry, that was a gradual process, but losing to Cov in the cup made me hopeful he was gone rather than angry! Pulis is probs the one. 2005 binary season was frustrating as fuck, didnt want him back, overjoyed with what he did second time round, but mixed in with some truly abject performances (Chelsea away as mentioned, but pretty much any away game was so negative 'lets get a 0-0'. Think the angriest was probably Alan Wylie disallowing Ryans header to win the game v Man City in the last minute - was fuck all wrong with it! We also should have had a penalty for a foul on Ric before the disallowed goal, so blatant and easy to see and it was right in front of the linesman Trevor Massey

Also a special mention to Coventry away in the FA Cup a few years back. That fateful day which turned out to be Hughes' last for us.
Not even drinking in that casino in the Ricoh afterwards could cheer me up.

one of the worst for me was chelsea away when they spanked us 7-0, it was the first game broadcast in 3d so i treated the current girl at that time to a trip to a pub with 3d tv and paid for her glasses for the game, i was fuming and ended up slinging the glasses in the bin, i really was mad

Brighton at home in the relegation season. How Charlie Adam got applauded when he came back last season I’ll never know. might be that the rest of his Stoke career somewhat overweighed such negative moments. Of the ten million pennos missed in the last few years that was one of the better ones, good save & of course he was fouled on the rebound should have been another penno awarded Charlie penno record is very good imho had Jese not been a bell end then Charlie would have scored it

Seen as there's a fair few people (myself included) gutted about last night. It got me thinking what is the angriest/upset you've been walking away from watching the Potters. Mine was losing to the Dingles in the FA Cup a few years back at the Brit. The piss taking in the pubs back in Stafford that night certainly didn't help. I think this was the one for me that made me the most angry about our team - it was embarrassing. I know we have many threads talking about Bojan's performances at White Hart Lane but his first half performance against Wolves was a disgrace. The Chelsea 2-1 loss was hard to take but I can't say I was angry, gutted for the players but still proud of their performance. I didn't attend in person but was at the bam back for the Gillingham second leg which was really hard to take.

Ah blimey there's definitely a few over the years. & alot of those have already been covered on here. The one I haven't read about that sticks out for me is the Play Off defeat at Walsall. We were bossing the game after a great Kav scorcher of a goal set us on our way and we somehow managed to turn a comfortable lead into a capitulation! The infamous & usually dependable Gavin Ward throwing the ball into the net moment right in front of the Stokies was just unbearable to watch and his facial expression towards us as he picked the ball out the net was an awful feeling.
Losing a game we should of won, and to face defeat at the Bescot Stadium with loads of whining joyous Walsall fans definitely rates high up in leaving a match feeling both angry and gutted.
Sometimes its a blessing living close to an away defeat to just get home and forget it ever happened. But not on this occasion. Sometimes a longer drive home gives you chance to reflect & share your disappointment with other Stokies on the coach or in the car but only living 20mins away from junction 9 of the M6 doesn't give much reflection time to digest whats just happened & it can take days to get over. This was certainly one of them times.
Similar to the Leicester game, its definitely a long & frustrating summer break when losing a play off semi final!

The 1-0 win against Man City back in 2009 for me news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/7856371.stm Delap sent off and the Brit was the angriest I've ever seen it, we were booing for at least 10 minutes non stop, all disgusted with the decision and it really felt like we had been cheated. It was an amazing result in the end though and epitomised Stoke City under TP. Another time I was really angry was when Gary Neville hacked down Etherington and got away without the sending off, before Fergie subbed him off soon after. Looking back at it now I can smile, and Neville has said that's when he knew his time was up, but at the time my blood was boiling.

Looking back, we simply just ran out of steam didn’t we? We had some good players, but the squad was wafer thin. Selling Pesch and choosing not to strengthen the squad on deadline day hurt us badly in the end.

To be fair the Pesch deal was agreed weeks before and the board did back Lou to replace him but screwed up on deadline day but history now. We wouldn't have worried Leicester if we were still playing to be honest and such a let down.i didn't think we'd beat Palace but they were so so in the final

A 2 0 game at Crewe , we'd beaten Pompey and given ourselves a great chance of staying up and we were atrocious with no fight. I covered more ground than Dean Crowe walking to my seat

This is up there, Leicester were on a good run as well and we battered them in the first half yet somehow let them back in it Our squad under Hughes was extremely unfit by footballers standards

Yes for me too. Not angry but upset and disbelieving. I always say that was my worst football experience as a stoke fan and that there can never be a worse one. Can there.......................................?? Malcolm - I too was upset and drained leaving Hillsborough in '71, but always optimistic I travelled to Villa Park for the replay. Unfortunately, I was onboard a ship in Portsmouth and needed to get back for work the next morning. Travelled up to Waterloo by train and the only option to get back to London after the match was the Arsenal Fans Football Special. So not only deflated by defeat, but had a train load of singing Gooners on the return trip. Then totally wiped out arriving back in Portsmouth around 06:30 on the slow 'milk train'.

Losing at home in the play off semi final to Leicester and Fat Gary Parker’s single goal. So near and yet so far. Longest, darkest journey home ever. This. Don’t think I’ve ever felt as devastated before or since.
