....I've blamed everything from which coat pocket I put my program in to keeping up with the score on the BBC app.

Now I'm beginning to realise we were just crap.

Thanks Chrissy Wilder.

Edit. I've also realised I can't spell superstitious..
 

Still superstitious. I dug out my scarf that I've had since I was 4 years old for the first time this season, and hey presto, 87th minute winner.
Needless to say the old girl is coming with me to Bristol Rovers on Tuesday.
 
I bought what was described as a zippo lighter from the official online store shortly after we got relegated from the 2nd division, it had our badge on the front. It was shit. It wasn't a genuine zippo, And the badge was a sticker. Still got it, but never used it.

The day of the pig match at hillsborough (the day ched the ripper never showed up, bring him back my arse) I noticed that in Morrison's at the hillsborough barracks, they sold genuine zippo lighters with an engraved blades badge on the front. I bought one before the game, went to the match, and....well you know.

I loved that lighter.

Currently, that lighter is hidden away, unused in the drawer of many things, under some batteries and spanners, where it's been since the start of this season....

Riveting. Don't hesitate to post more lengthy reminisences. Edge of the seat stuff.
 
I get the OP....I just bought my first home shirt in years. Refused before because I didn't want a shirt I could associate with abject failure.

Then had to be worried that it may jinx us based on my presumption of success.....thankfully I don't have to worry now. 1/1 since I got it!
 
OK sbt. I shall. I also have an old scarf knitted by my stone deaf from birth auntie. She somehow misunderstood my instructions to knit a red and white striped scarf, with a small black band in the middle of the white stripe. She knitted the small black stripe in the middle of the red stripe.

When I was 5, this dissapointed me. However, over the years, I came to love that scarf, not only because my now dead deaf auntie made it for me with her bare hands, and her own wool, but because you don't get many scarves with the black stripe in the middle of the red stripe. It was unique.

After the playoff final (prob Preston maybe Huddersfield) as I was leaving the ground, to the sound of our own fans singing "we're the famous Sheff United and we're shit at wemberley", a copper said to me, "that scarf looks like it's seen a few games over the years" ......the scarf has seen better days,......

"yes, it's been with me for all our major disappointments", I said.


Although that scarf is somewhere in my house, as it stands, I don't know where it is.

It's all been my fault.

But I think I have it sorted now....

Most moving thing I've ever read. Have you ever considered a career writing inspirational anecdotes?

Nothings unluckier than spelling 'superstitious' wrong :eek:
 
I could go on, but you've done enough for now to make me stop sbt.

That and typing on a phone is becoming a chore.

Do delight me with your own trite.

Please don't stop. You must have a store of amazing stories.
And it's tripe,not trite mate.:)
 
OK, delight me with your tripe then.

I was in the front row of the pig kop the day of the lighter purchase with 2 pig fan mates, it was the only way I could attend, and It was horrific.


I'm convinced that lighter is to blame for everything....

Just wondering why a thread has to be derailed for everybody else because it's very boring and very annoying..

Mmm. So because I'm having a laugh with someone over his inane ramblings he has to stop and the thread is "derailed". LOL
You can't derail something that has no sense to it and last time I looked people can post whatever they want which includes me and the storyteller.

No problem SBT it's just sometimes humour is lost when in black and white text and it comes across as pointless bickering and sniping.

I am the most sarcastic bastard I've ever met.
No sniping or bickering involved.
Hope this helps.:)
 
You're all bastards and I'm off the chuck myself off Hyde park flats towards wadsley bridge, wearing a deaf woman's scarf, smoking a fag lit by the dirty purchase from south barnsley.

I think that might seal us promotion.

Have you consumed alcohol or hallucenagenic drugs since your last magnum opus perchance?
