Swings n Roundabouts!!
First game I went to featuring Birmingham was at Millmoor in Feb 1967 in the FA Cup 4th round only two weeks after we had completed the double over them in the league (both games 3-2) with the win away the previous September coming after we were 2 down at half time.
Unfortunately we could only draw 0-0 in the Cup but Trevor Hockey (later of Sheff Utd) hit the bar with a penalty at the Railway end.
We lost 2-1 in the replay at St. Andrews 3 days later
Correct. The Man City away game was a 2-1 (88th minute) loss at Maine Road in November 2001 and the West Brom away game came in April 2002 (1-1) featuring the goal that never was. Two contentious decisions, one for, one against, which effectively cancelled each other out.Quote:

I explained to the homeowner what had happened and she politely told me to just stay where I was and let them pass as they were ‘not nice fans and would tear me limb from limb if they knew I was Rotherham’ I could feel my arse twitching even more….😬 suffice to say I eventually got back to the car in one piece.
Birmingham City striker Lukas Jutkiewicz as been given a 2 match ban, so misses the game.
The player was given a 2 match ban for ' deception ' of a match official, for the game between
Birmingham City & Wigan Athletic.
During the game in the 10th minute Wigan Athletic player Joe Bennett was adjudged to have
brought down Jutkiewicz , with Bennett getting a red card & sent off, with Wigan winning the
game 1-0
Following a review the red card was overturned, after replays showed Bennett made no contact
with Jutkiewicz.
Therefore Jutkiewicz was charged with a breach of FA rule 3 a deception of a match official,
which resulted in a 2 game ban.
Jutkiewicz misses the games against Rotherham United on Saturday, & Norwich City on Tuesday.
Good decision by someone.......was Richard Wood on the panel?
