In the posh seats yesterday

[Roygbiv]

My mate won a few tickets for the exec boxes for yesterdays game. A few things you may be interested in

1. Their manager was going ape shit at the 4th official from the first minute and i'm not really sure why
2.Wilder legged it down the touchline again when we scored
3. Alan Knill was eating a pack of Haribo throughout the first half and offered one to the 4th official
4.McCabe was gutted at the end. Just stood staring at the pitch for a while. Afterwards he said it wasn't a bad result but we deserved much more. Told me that "we will get there"
5. The Referee assessor was there which might have been the reason for the fussy display from the ref
6. The Ref assessor said after United played some brilliant stuff and looked a far better side
7.There was a fair few Americans there. Not sure who they were
8. The neutrals there were amazed by the attendance and also how well we played for a League One side
9. Spoke to Lavery and his family after. Really decent set of people. Lavs said the dressing room were disappointed after as we should have won. Also said they were disappointed with Bolton coming back against Bradford
10. Lavery said the facilities at United are much better than at Wednesday. Said the whole club is much more professional

I see Knill's familiar with the dark arts of football

He was the coolest man in both dug outs Really calm throughout

4.McCabe was gutted at the end. Just stood staring at the pitch for a while. Afterwards he said it wasn't a bad result but we deserved much more. Told me that "we will get there"

Did he actually clarify where

 

[Roygbiv]

[Roygbiv]

Forgot to say that Ian Botham was there too. Old Beefy

3. Alan Knill was eating a pack of Haribo throughout the first half and offered one to the 4th official

I can see the article being typed out right now, titled "Blades Shame: infamous squirrel murderer attempts to bribe 4th official in key game"

 

[Shalalalafenoughty]

Aye, but offering the fourth official a Haribo will result in us a ten point deduction for us at a specially-convened hearing just after we've finished nine points clear of the third-placed team.

It's the Blades way.

"7.There was a fair few Americans there. Not sure who they were"

Any chance they were Chinese Americans?

 

[Esablade]

Knill to be the new Dr Who?

 

[Lmaobob]

Are you sure they were American and not Canadian? After all, you did meet Lavery's family, and he might have a much bigger family than you think

 

[Roygbiv]

All his family and friends were Irish. One plays for a semi professional team in Belfast but I cant recall who now

ahhhh, was is he the only canadian? didnt know that

Now that's the first thing you said about this trip that's made me slightly jealous. Did you speak with him at all? I met him a couple of times down at Taunton, OK on the first occasion, bit of a nob on the second.

I didn't to be fair. Would have liked to have a chat with him but he was surrounded by people

Didn't he play for Scunthorpe?

Not exactly the most approachable person I've met. A bit up his own arse imho.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Didn't he play for Scunthorpe?

Yes

 

[Fanny magnet]

Isn't there always a referees assessor in the crowd

 

[bornablade]

'Play' is a bit of an exaggeration - more of he turned out for them.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Alan Knill was eating a pack of Haribo throughout the first half and offered one to the 4th official.

No doubt this will be reported in the vile local gutter rag as 'Blades Assistant Manager In Shocking Bribery Attempt'.

 

[Roygbiv]

Apparently not. Lavery after said it was the reason the ref was so poor

Followed by the words "Meanwhile Sheffield Wednesday take 50,000 fans to the City Ground. Owls fans demand an apology from Nottingham Forest for not having a big enough ground capacity. "

 

[spongebobblade]

Unsure now but it certainly used to be the case

 

[HighfieldBlade]

3. Alan Knill was eating a pack of Haribo throughout the first half...

As I'm reading this, there's actually a Haribo advert on TV. Spooky.

 

[Linz]

"Alan Knill in stealing sweets shocker."

They belong to the bald security bloke who mans the tunnel. There's always a bag of spice on the top of the United dugout. Used to be a box full, but cutbacks have to be made in the third division.

 

[Gimli]

Isn't there always a referees assessor in the crowd

There is always 'The assessor' in the United crowd...

 

[Linz]

And to answer point one - Graham Alexander is always like that. Reyt mard arse. Marvellous fun giving managers like that some grief.

 

[Silent Blade]

Didn't he play for Scunthorpe?

Wasn't going to like as you get far too many easy likes for just copying what other people say in 'your' views from.
Point 10 though? Excellent. I just had to reward you for that one Mr Bow.
