'Memries' Scunthorpe Memories

[Ancient blade]

Only one; that 0-4 home defeat in 2010 and the fourth goal in particular:

the United goalie came way out of his area at the Lane End to pass the ball to a full back but it went

straight to a Scunny player who was just inside the United half and who hit it straight back past him

and into the empty goal. That player was Martin Woolford.

Away in a champ season. Lost 3-1, Ched scored a free kick at 3-0 down...

 

[Superblades]

Relegation season at their place, 2-0 up and I think we lost 3-2.

 

[Deleted member 1486]

I stayed in Scunthorpe for a week. It was the most dreadful week of my life. God that place is depressing!

 

[ucandomagic]

Flixborough and cyclohexane!!

 

[UnitedBlade]

First win at their place for 56 years last season.

1-0 to Billy.

I'm amazed to see we've only lost 1 of our last 10 competitive games against them which was the debacle at the end of last season. That previous 4-0 home defeat obviously sticks long in the mind.

The 2012 game at their place saw Doyle and Flynn get red cards in a 1-1 draw. Knilly was their manager and Leon Clarke scored for them. Mark Duffy also played. Point salvaged by Neill Collins.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Well I was looking forward to tomorrow until I read this lot

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

81-82
Old Show Ground
1-2 defeat.

Almost 25 years to the date.

The season we were in the fourth division. At their old ground. First of all the big fat Scunny lass who single handedly out fought our 'top boys' trying to take their kop!! Very funny. Then Steve Neville coming on as sub and getting sent off 30 seconds later!!! The Blade who was so legless at the end of the match he was laid out on the terraces unable to walk to the exits. We lost by the way.

 

[WestwoodBlade]

Some memorable games at their place but for all the wrong reasons. Under Robson, 2 nil down but brought it back to 2-2 only to concede with the last kick of the game, under Blackwell losing 3-1 which was utter shite, leading 2-0 under Adams and ballsing that up losing 3-2, the game we had 9 men and equalised or the 1-1 draw under Clough with a very toxic away end. Ironically the only win I've ever seen there was when we had the likes of Hammond, Woolford, Sammon and Adkins. Funny how some things happen like that

 

[blade too long]

how come we are the only fans in football that can start a memory of previous games and nearly every one remembered is losing

what a negative bunch we are

Id bet a million pounds if it were on pork talk theyd have forgotten every single defeat by now

it really is depressing how some of our fans gather their golden memories
its no wonder its quiet at the Lane so many go there prepared to fail

I am excited about tomorrow and really looking forward to it

I even think we are good enough to win in second gear, will I recall any losses,,,, no

 

[Trafford]

The season we were in the fourth division. At their old ground. We lost by the way.

Could have sworn we drew 1-1 courtesy of a late Edwards penalty? Should have had another later on but the ref didn't want to give two.

 

[Basegreen_Blade]

Away in a champ season. Lost 3-1, Ched scored a free kick at 3-0 down...

"Leeeeeets pretend we've scored a gooooal..."

We weren't a happy bunch that day were we?

 

[corkysbeard]

We definitely need 3 points tomorrow has my boys live in a lovely quaint little village on the outskirts of scunny,about 10miles towards hull on the banks of the Humber called Winteringham,and they'll get some stick if we get beat by scunny as one of their teachers is a big scunny fan and lives in the same apartment block as their manager Alexander,so for my boys sake let's make it a day to remember tomorrow and put them to the Blades.

Game as fuck her that day.

 

[Silent Blade]

Could have sworn we drew 1-1 courtesy of a late Edwards penalty?

That was at Bury

 

[Trafford]

That was at Bury

That must have been a different game, I've never been to Bury. It was definitely Scunny but could have been the old D3. It was a midweek game, not that it makes a difference....

 

[loyalblade95]

winning 4-0 under clough at bramall lane in 2015 still not figured out if Jason Holt meant to score that goal or not

[PeterNdlovu081]

Remember a 2-2 (I think) at their place early on in the season. Must have been 2007-08.

Webber played really well.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Only one; that 0-4 home defeat in 2010.

The most ridiculous and unrepresentative (but somehow also quintessentially United) 0-4 in the history of the game. From memory we had all the ball, and ran the match. I remember walking out at the end feeling sure I was dreaming.

My own "special" Scunthorpe memrie: hoofing it forward mercilessly from our 18 yard box at Glanford Pk, in the season we came down to the third. Hideous. Horrible. Unwatchable. And useless. Micky Adams redux. We were 0-2 up very early doors, and still fucking lost.

Nyron "played". And whatisname, who we'd just re-signed for a second stint, aged 89. I got lost on the way home due to road closures, and realised for the first time that without specs I could no longer read the map. The pie was probably shite too

Rubbish memrie. Sorry !

 

[Fanny magnet]

I've been to loads of games v Scunthorpe over the years but im really racking my brain to think of anything memorable

Don't know what their summaries at the top mean but if you look at the actual results at the Lane below them, it's in line with what I quoted: W8 D1 L3

I see that but only read the summary , cant trust anyone
wrong anyway as scunny have played 1 more home game as we drew there earlier this season

strangely enough its wrong on several head to head sites

We lost by the way.

We were sat in their old wooden stand in that game and sat a few rows back was this mouthy bespectacled bloke slagging off our style of play and certain players as I remember. One of the mates of my brother in law then made a a loud comment to the effect of " Is this cunt wanting a slap or what ". Soon after that the mouthy Scunny supporter steps up the tirade of insults when up jumps the brother in laws mate who takes a few steps up the wooden stand when we could clearly hear a loud SMACK on which we turned round to see this gobby Scunthorpe fan sprawled along his seat with his glasses on the side of his head. We never heard a peep after that.
