come a gutser

suffer a failure or defeat – informal

Gutser (also spelled gutzer) is explained in Fraser and Gibbons' Soldier and Sailor Words (1925) as pre-war slang and an old term among Scottish boys for falling flat on the water in diving, instead of making a clean header. In air-force slang come (or fetch) a gutser meant crash.
