Dundee did well to overturn a 2 goal deficit to beat us last week and Burnley fought back from 5 - 0 down yesterday to only lose 5 - 3 to West Ham. But these comebacks pale into insignificance compared to the the antics of Soham Town Rangers in the Division one - Midlands of the Zamaretto league (formerly the Southern League).

Last weekend, away from home, they were 4 goals down after only 20 minutes but fought back to draw the game 4 - 4.

Yesterday, at home, it appeared that they had learnt their lesson. Far from being caught cold again, they raced into a 4 goal lead after only 28 minutes.

But had they really learnt their lesson? Not a bit of it! Remarkably, their opponents proceded to repeat the comeback of the previous week with the game again ending 4 - 4.

Does anyone know any comeback stories to match that?

My BB's team were 5-0 down, we clawed it back to 5-5 before we conceded again and lost our goalie to injury but we grabbed an equaliser and got a 6-6 draw.

Some wee diddy team called ICT managed to claw back a 2-0 deficit against the Scottish Champions and win 3-2

Man U in the 1999 Champions League final.

ICT being 3-1 down to County in about 2001ish. Wyness scored twice with ten seconds to go to draw the game 3-3.

were we not once 0-3 down to Ayr at home at half time....only to turn it round to 4-3?

Sure thing, Scottish Cup 2001-2. The thing is, at half time, many of us were asking if we could still do it. That's what it was like in Pele's day.

I was at a Scotland U21 game v Lithuania a few years ago where we needed 3 points to win the group ahead of Germany. 0-2 with 10 minutes to go, got 1 back then Stephen Hughes scored 2 in injury time to make it 3-2.

But in the Pele days at ICT, that sort of thing was not uncommon. You never batted an eyelid at going behind, whereas these days you know it's pretty much over. Come to think of it, when we take the lead you suspect its over too.

What game was that and when?

Liverpool in the Champions League against AC Milan in 2005...3-0 down at half time to come back 3-3 and win on penalties

I remember Man Utd coming back with 2 last seconds goals vs Bayern in the champions league final in the late 90's

The germans had taken an early lead, Sheringham and then Solskjer(?) scoring to leave the germans totally gutted!

There can only be one winner for me. Man City at White Hart Lane a few years ago in the FA Cup, 3-0 down at half time and had Joey Barton sent off at the break only for them to win 4-3.

Back to the mighty Soham Town Rangers. Having decided that being 4-0 down seemed to guarantee a 4- 4 draw, they went 4-0 down again this week. However, the tactic is not infallible: they lost 6-0.

It was a BB's 7-A-side outdoor league game. I can't remember who against. It was at the Bught park in the summer of 2003.

Has to be 16/12/07 at TCS. From 2-0 down to Celtic we win the game 3-2 and play the last 25 mins with 10 men after Proc is sent off.

oops i forgot procter got sent off :023:

Celtic drawing 3-3 v Rapid Vienna when they went behind after a minute and 3 down after 20 and also with conditions against them and not the 1st team.

That has to be among the top comebacks?

Dundee were getting beat 2-0 at half time in the Challenge Cup Final, and managed to comeback and win 3-2

What stupid team managed to throw a 2-0 lead at half time. HA! :P

When I started this thread, I had in the back of my mind a game in the Sothern League cup a few years ago but I couldn't recall the details. I have now found it and it is remarkable not so much for the comeback but what happened after.

This was in the 3rd round of the cup in 2004 and late in the 2nd half Rugby Town went 2-0 up. It stayed that way till 3 minutes from time when Sutton Coldfield pulled a goal back before equalising in injury time. Then in Extra time, Sutton Coldfield scored 6 times with one player scoring 4.

2-0 down with 3 minutes to go and then winning 8-2 is not bad!

Peterborough coming from 4-0 down at half time to draw 4-4 with Cardiff
