Luck against that lot

[Going t lane]

Am I being biased here,cant remember us avin any luck in Derby matches ,been watching us against them since 79.

 

[Kenilworth]

Hence the phrase, "lucky cunts"

 

[Harry's Game]

Wasn't Alan Quinn's goal in 2005 / 06 technically offs side as it hit another Blades player on the line on its way in.

Could have been disallowed.

Only one I can think of.

 

[Roygbiv]

We were lucky not to get absolutely fucking hammered at Wembley to be honest

True.Alan kelly brilliant that day.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

We've not had much in my life time. The Colin year's sum it up for me, played um 9 times, won 4, drew 3, lost 2, if we'd have won all 9 it wouldn't have been an injustice. We should have trounced 'um in 4 out of 5 games at the sty, two of the draws at the Lane (00/01 and 01/02) were probably fair, but all the other games we wiped the floor with um.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Corks goal at Wembley came off his shin, which it usually did.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

We were lucky they had Woods in goal.

 

[Jonboy60]

That's the only concern for me on Sunday.
Collectively we're a better team, we're more than up for it, with the manager and captain being blades.
It's just the pigs are one set of lucky bastards.

If you watch the replay (see picture here) Shipperly was behind the line when the ball was struck.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

If Donaldson & Billy are fit luck won't be required.

 

[Blade for Sale]

That lanky streak of piss hitting the bar at 0-0 in 1991. In hindsight it could have changed the course of the season, they were only a few points off winning the league that year. Tracey's fingertips might well have saved us from a 1/4 of a century of unbearable cuntilation.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

I still want to know how we didn't get a penalty at the Lane when Dane's shot was "saved" on the line by that pillock of a full-back's elbow. It would have been 3-0 but for his timely intervention. Should have been sent off too of course.
Before that there was the GBH stamping on Tony Kenworthy's toes by Terry Curran (under the ref's nose) that should have been another sending off.
Both King and Mellor should have been red-carded (and would be nowadays of course) for the assaults on Sabella & Co back in '79.
I could go on ........ but just realised this thread is about OUR luck.

 

[Swannyblade]

If they stuck a traffic cone in their goal and called it Kevin Pressman, we would hit it 100% of the time and lose 1-0...that's our derby luck

 

[Toronto Blade]

Don't need luck to beat that shower!

When we lost all our strikers, it was the first game I thought of. Is Sunday going to be our Wembley of the walking wounded or Bobby Davison day for someone.

 

[Jehovah]

Been saying all week I think we're going to batter them and lose. Off the top of my head....

1. KIlgallon red card (incredibly harsh)
2. Madine blatant foul on Simmonsen (goal stands)
3. Williamson free kick (hits underside of bar and bounces on line at 0-0)
4. Fuck you Wednesday

Phil King was the defender

 

[S64 Blade]

We were unlucky not to get something from the last game at Hillsborough. We threw the home tie away that same season.

 

[Tezza1889]

somebody put up a vid of Danes goal at the lane, I seem to remember two pigs running smack into each other and leaving us clean through to pick Whitehouse out... only luck I remember against them.... the rest, we worked for..

If you watch the replay (see picture here) Shipperly was behind the line when the ball was struck.

That doesn't matter. He was either 'in play' (in which case he was offside) or he was 'out of play' (in which case he re-entered the field without permission).

 

[Bayingblade]

As he's behind the line GB, he cannot be "in play" as he's off the field. Once the ball is in the net, it's a dead ball so he doesn't need permission to re-enter the field of play until the kick off (I believe). Either way, it doesn't constitute the luck those bastards have had against us in my time watching derbies. Hopefully the tables (luck-wise) will begin to turn on sunday.

That's not true. From a referee: "When a player goes over the goal line or touch line, for the purpose of offside, he is on the line where he went out." http://www.asktheref.com/Soccer Rules/Question/24440/

However, I think that we can agree that Wednesday are a bunch of spawny little anti-football grubs that deserved to get stuffed by seven or eight goals on Sunday to make up for their past flukes.

Thanks GB. Proves you're never too old to learn

And yes, agree with your second point...............

Although I'd take a draw!

We had luck when Ritchie played for them

 

[Brian Blessed]

Own goal deflected in off Wood (?) when 0-2 down at home to set up a 2-2 draw a few years back? Also an o.g. in the 3-2 game

 

[DazBlade88]

To be fair, you never remember the good luck. Only the bad!

"Cuntilation" wow thats a great word and fully describes that shower of excrement !
