Tigers 0 Hartlepool United 0 (AET Tigers win 3-2 on penalties)
League Cup Round 2 - 19/9/2006

City carded a strong side against Hartlepool, lining up: Myhill; Ricketts, Collins, Turner, Dawson; Yeates, France, Marney, Welsh; Fagan, Barmby.

First half: Not much happened
Second half: Not much happened:
Extra time: Les missed the penultimate episode of Lost season 2; not much happened

And now onto the penalties, the only important action of a torpid evening. Myhill saved the first kick. The Beast scored his. Ben Clark launched his into orbit. Elliott, ever the kindly soul, cheered him up by missing his. They scored; Duffy unsurprisingly didn't. They took the lead; Fagan hauled it back. Myhill saved from James Brown; Dawson neatly slotted his home. And that was that.

Two historic curses lifted in under a week - the decade old jinx of Sky, the enduring penalty shoot-out jinx removed shortly after. With hoodoo-ending skills like these, it's only a matter of time before Phil Parkinson hoists aloft a black-and-amber ribboned Champions League trophy. (AD)
