Player of the Year awards night inc VIDEO

[maxtheblade]

Was lucky enough to get an invite to the player of the year dinner tonight - great event hosted by Harry Gration. From slightly hazy memory the winners were...

Young Player Of the Year - David Brooks
Players Player - Billy Sharp
Goal of the season - Daniel Lafferty
Outstanding Achievement - Chris Wilder
Player of the Year - John Fleck

Players all in attendance, clearly well oiled but happy to pose for pics, autographs etc, altogether a quality night

 

[Linz]

Just leaving in a taxi... Will post pics and videos in the morning.

Let's just say that it descended into carnage!

Saw the feed after I posted - far more comprehensive than my ramble above!

Was there an academy player of the year award?

Players all in attendance, clearly well oiled

They were spotted first in the Lescar then moved to the Pointing Dog.

My daughter was working there last night and apparently served the odd Jaegerbomb or a hundred.

Some sore heads on that bus then and a good job it's open top.

Two words: Chris Basham.

Despite being absolutely arseholed before the meal was served... And the threat of a bit of fisticuffs between two players at kicking out time.... McNulty posted a picture of them in the Bierkeller afterwards.

Vegas is going to be a mess.

Didn't go so only saw the tweets but it looked a great night. McNulty bidding on the auction for a place in next seasons team photo

And the threat of a bit of fisticuffs between two players at kicking out time....

Really?!

 

[Linz]

Really?!

As Foxy pointed out... par for the course when you have pissed up Scotsmen at last orders.

[S64 Blade]

It's been great to see the players and fans unite like this. They players all seem a really good bunch and down to earth. It'll be sad to see the group change next season, but that's part and parcel of the game I guess.

From running midfield to running a bar

I wouldn't trust him behind my bar. He was supping Jager from the bottle and trying to hand the fresh bottles out...

We were advised by a source that shall remain nameless that he is a "naughty boy".

You need Foxy to have time to post his videos. Jumping around like a dickhead with Sharp, Freeman, Bash, Reed etc.

Vegas is going to be a mess.

A group of wealthy men, heavily stocked with jocks, led by a Gordie, in Las Vegas for a party. What could possibly go right?

He can't help himself, he just has a natural urge to keep things ticking along nicely

A couple of Scousers thrown in for good measure and a lad from Stocksbridge in charge. We ought to start saving now for the bail bonds...

Quite frankly I can't wait to see the whole thing! Boy am I just a tad jealous..

Might just have to watch the next season of Judge Judy!

No he's not....... he's the messiah.

I was sitting near the naughty table in the back corner.

Choice comments included (names omitted to protect the pissed)-

Harry Gration on Chris Wilder: "If you cut him in half, he'd been red and white... "
Player: "And still be fat"

Player on Lafferty: "I literally cannot understand a word he says"

There was a shout of "Christine Hussey" when they announced the Ladies PoY.

And Carruthers was trying to mop up the drink spills on his crotch when he went up to collect his medal to a chorus of "he'll piss where he wants"...

 

[maxtheblade]

One thing that confused me - the players who were called up to belatedly receive their medals were all at the presentation on the pitch so why were those ten called up and the others weren't?

 

[Liverpool blade]

Sounds like a brilliant night. All I can say is watch out Vegas and be prepared as it's going to be very fuckin messy!!

 

[Blades80]

Probably the best night I've had ever

I hope it was sorted before they left!!

Oh please disclose who said that

I think it was the medals in the box... So they got them on the pitch, then had to give them back to be boxed up.

The players who lived away/hadn't stayed in Sheffield weren't around to collect them earlier.

Thank you - that does make sense now

 

[Linz]

Oh and the comedian did the old joke about drugs being found behind the library in Toxteth* and a simultaneous shout of "Duffy's house" went up.

*Punchline: who knew there was a library in Toxteth?

Small mercies.

Let's be thankful Jose isn't around anymore.

He needs Fleck backing him up ,not her.
When the game kicked off on Sunday there were 2 big white balloons stuck together on the pitch ,Coutts burst one and just as he tried to do the other he had to get the ball from a throw in ,Fleck ran across and burst the other balloon ,that moment epitomised those 2 brilliantly.
