If Clarke wasn't so lazy in getting back onside in the first place and anticipating something coming his way it wouldn't even be a debate. He did it on a numerous of occasions and needs to cut it out because it costs us valuable possession and good attacks but after yesterday he can't apparently do anything wrong according to some.

Pretty sure nobody has said he can't do no wrong, but the guy certainly deserves a bit of praise after his potentially best ever game for us.

Was anyone on this forum at Pompey in 98 when one of our fans hit a linesman? Does anyone know the bloke? Not sure I can remember what that was all about or what happened to him.

A spell at Her Majesty's pleasure and apparently he is now fully rehabilitated and an upstanding member of society.

He posts on here sometimes as pommpey but don't mention 'Desso', as that was the lino's name and it still winds him up.

I just don't think he played well the whole match like some, I thought he played well in the second half not so good in the first, I don't go over the top with a performance like that. Basham, Carruthers, JOC, Stevens, Coutts and Blackman were all better imho but Clarke got a lot of people's votes? Just goes to show how opinions can differ.

Carruthers did some good stuff but it's amazing how some people never also saw the number of times he gave the ball away cheaply, which could have been costly.

In the after match interview Wilder talked about us having to keep the ball better than we did.

I hope Samir was listening.

Wrong. Deffo not pommpey

Wrong, moi?

Are you perhaps suggesting I fabricated it as some kind of 'joke' on the internet?

I'm pretty sure I remember the bloke running on Pugwash style, complete with tricorn hat and twatting the lino one. Maybe my memory is playing us as I've just 'remembered' I wasn't even there that day.

I was there, and so was pommpey right by my side.

The perpetrator of the evil deed came from elsewhere and was witnessed by us both.

Here's a link to a news article that unequivocally clears pommpey of blame.

All I'm saying is that some people have gone over the top regards Clarkes performance, I've seen words such as 'outstanding' and 'tremendous', really?

And as for his best game for us, there were a couple of away performances towards the end of last season that were better than Saturdays with ease, different circumstances maybe but it's all relevant.

Just to ease some people's minds regards my thoughts on Clarke, he will play a huge role this season, that I have no doubt and he will play a lot better than Saturdays game, he has it in him, mark my words.

No it doesn't!

There is no mention that the lad wasn't wearing Pugwash get up, nor that he wasn't humming the Pugwash theme tune as he hit the lino. I'm beginning to think you are in on this and you were also in a pirate's uniform....

He's going to lose the ball because of some of the stuff he tries but I completely agree that on Saturday he lost the ball way too easy at times when there really was no need to.

36 minutes and no denial from Maidenhead. Hmmmmmm......

Clearly I have got you "bang to rights and no mistake" (copyright Ealing Studios). Are you going to come quietly or do I have to send for the Black Maria with Will Hay, Kenneth Moore and Alistair Sim?

My son and his mate were mascots for that match. My lad's mate's dad, an ardent Palace fan (who was pissed off we'd converted his son into a Blade) came along too (Mick R had sorted us all seats out in the Milton End - top bloke) and all was looking set for a bit of a game until Trace raced out and patently handled outside the box. The ref hadn't seen it until the Pompey players were pulling him over to the lino who gave him the lowdown and we feared the worst. Red card came out and the Pompey fans went apeshit with glee, and in the middle of all the fuss, as the ref made his way back for the free kick and the coppers stood up to calm down the Mushers, suddenly this lone figure raced up the touchline in front of them and sparked out the lino. I say 'sparked out', it looked like his punch ran up his shoulder and off the top of his head. Nevertheless it was shit day for football and Sheffield United. The fan was crunched up by about twenty cops and hauled away and the Pompey fans, together with us momentarily silent with shock, suddenly went rampant and menacing. Cue loads of to and froing between the fans, Trace takes his Jersey off and goes down the tunnel and we draw the game which deflated into a boring, no-needle match where I think the players ... all of them ... couldn't wait to get off the pitch and go and lie down somewhere dark and quiet. My lad's mate's dad rounded on me and said "Is this what you fackin' nowvern mahnkees fackin' do, then?" and I couldn't answer him, but shrug and apologise. Afterwards we picked our way gingerly through the backstreets to our cars between scarpering Blades fans and angry Mushers. We almost got caught up in a dust up with the 6:57 regulars and some BBC stragglers. I recall regaling it on SUISA and BUVP in recent years.

The assaulter was from somewhere along the South Coast, not 'back home'.

Not a good day.

Always turning left and never scanning to the right.

Thanks for that buddy, that was an interesting read and helped fill in the blank pieces for me, much appreciated. Not a fond Blades memory at all but a Blades memory nonetheless.
