England Legends game at the Lane

[Linz]

Booing in a charity match that's being shown live on TV?

Thousands of people died in China, but booing an ex-manager is far more important.



Some people ought to learn what respect is.

 

[MAQ]

for me this has just completely degraded the whole legends at the lane match.

I'm not going anyway as i will be in sunny (Hopefully) cornwall, however i was very interested in going. Now i'm glad that im not

"In an interview with BBC Radio Sheffield Robson stated that his team could have won the match with Scunthorpe if they had better support from the fans"

The man is a complete arse, whats so bad about booing him, is it not an exhibition match, where its going to likened to a pantomime.

If i go i probably won't boo him, but i don't think we should forget how much he damaged us as fans and most of all as a club.

 

[keenzy]

He should be booed, but theres a time and a place for it, and at a charity match, its not the time.

Someone had a bright idea to put him in the squad though with the thought of bringing more fans into the ground to boo and make it look like germans there booing. IMO

But the only thing the match has to do with us as a club is it's being held at the Lane.

I don't see the point in living in the past about these things and vilifying the man because of what happened. What blind bit of difference is booing a player in a televised charity match going to make other than make us look like idiots to the rest of the nation? It changes nothing that happened last season

I doubt Robson gives a toss either way, but let's have a little bit of a stiff upper lip about it rather than going off like chabbies.

The thing we shouldn't forget is that the match is being held to raise money for the victims of a terrible natural disaster.

Thousands of people killed or Bryan Robson making us a bit shit for a season... which should be more important?

 

[keenzy]

Robson could donate some of his pay off towards it

 

[beightonblade]

If Robson was a gent and had any decency he would have made excuses and stayed away from BDTBL.

He deserves to be boooooood !

 

[TonyAgana]

I wouldn't boo him under any circumstances. The fact is, I don't blame him. He was, is, and will continue to be, an inept manager. The numpties who employed him were at fault in my eyes. He came to Bramall Lane with the intention of helping Sheffield United gain success. The exact same reason I go to Bramall Lane.

Well, I have to say that I agree with that, especially when you consider he'd been out of the game for a couple of years as well.

That said, it didn't stop the joys of wiki making me giggle!

Thats a fair point and the worrything is they are still there.
However i stick by my point i.e. if Roson was a gent he would have made excuses and stayed away from BDTBL. Perhaps the drinks are on 'our terry'.

 

[shorehamview]

It is a charity match, and I will be buying a ticket to support the charity, and if there are any collection buckets then I'll chuck a quid or two in them too. But it's highly likely I'll boo Robson when they read his name out.

 

[Linz]

Got our tickets on Saturday, four for £10.

Anyone else got their tickets and are we in the Golden Lion at the usual time (~18:00)?

 

[matth]

Me and the missus have got ours, don't think I can make the Lion though. Possibly show me face for the QPR match!

 

[Robbie]

Linz,

Is the four for a tenner ticket available still? We got a voucher Sunday, which we were gonna use but it expired at 3pm Sunday too

Afaik, the offer was only available on Sunday.

 

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Not sure whether I'm going or not yet, depends if my hamstrings recovered for me to play on Thursday.

You meant to be starting for England or on bench/

 

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Think I'll start on the bench as a precaution!

 

[shorehamview]

Got tickets. Might make it to the Lion if I can bunk off work early.

 

[Foxy]

Sod booing Robson, there are other worthy "legends" to take the piss out of

Chris Woods, Viv Anderson, Des Walker and Andy Sinton! Oh and a certain Dermot Gallagher!

In all seriousness though, well done to them all for giving up their time to support the cause.

 

[Robbie]

Anyone got the text for BOGOF tickets>?

 

[Linz]

Anyone got the text for BOGOF tickets>?

Nah, already got them and probably buying a shirt later as well

Golden Lion from around 18:00 ladies and gents!

 

[Robbie]

Well may join you for a drink, see how I feel about the game later.

I'm watching the Legends game on tv. What with the constant jeering Robson is getting (shite manager I know but a true England legend) and the really poor crowd (ok, I'm not there but I live 300 miles from Sheffield!) I would be suprised if Bramall Lane is given such an honour again!

 

[stinkyblade]

Agree about the crowd aye, awful really

I live in Sheffield and have no interest in that bobbins.

Yes what do you expect with Robson he truly f**cked our season last year- you reap what you sow

Yes he fucked OUR season, not England, he was a legend for OUR nation. This game is for a great cause, in memory of a legend Derek Dooley. As much I hated him I think supporting England in this cause is more important and too boo him is slightly harsh.

 

[Fife]

No will will ever disagree that Robson cost us the chance of promotion last season and my 8yr old son would make a better manager - as a manager a complete Git!
Tonight though he is representing England and is the England captain against the Germans. He has previously won 90 full caps for England and in his day was totally indispensible to England, one of the best midfielders I have ever seen in my 41years. A loser as a manager but he does not deserve what he is getting tonight!

yes but hes at our ground , bramall lane, where us sheffield united play, i dont agree witht he booeing however, just dont think all should be forgotten just because hes representing england tonight

 

[SotonBlade]

Lets be honest, i wouldn't be too bothered about us getting it again, the game is bobbins!
