Have the Pigs ever scored Four at BDTBL ?

[Pedro Verde]

I cant recall them having done so
I know they have scored three and still lost (was it 7-3)

 

[Tyler Durden]

Once, in 1917. Score was 3-4.

 

[Pedro Verde]

Shame it was something I had hoped we had done and they hadnt
Anyways fuckem the fuck faced fuckers

Does war time football count TD?

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

The 3-4 in 1917 was not a proper league game. Regional competition in WW1, with players unpaid, guest players, etc.

Unsurprisingly they count it as one of their '48 wins' against us

Sorry, my bad. Midland Section subsidiary tournament.

We dominated the game. Undone by 4 individual errors.

Annoyingly, they scored their 3rd as we were singing, "If you don't fucking bounce then you're a Bosch".

 

[Large Mendonca]

They mentioned it on Sky during the game, that neither of us had scored 4 in either team's back yard, during a league game.

.....until Sunday

No. I know Alan Quinn scored for both in derbies but not sure of any others.

No
In six attempts

Good line-up. Kyle at right-back, Glyn Hodges on the left. Pinchy wouldn't have liked Jones (too keen on putting it up 'em). Didn't know we'd ever had a Mainwaring, though.

Thats good to hear that its the first time its been done in a League game

 

[boo radley]

So what we are really saying is we've had the biggest win. The biggest away win. They have had a four goal winning margin once. We have had it twice. (March 1934 and Sept 1951)

Have the pigs ever scored four at BDTBL? Technically, no. Until 1929, they were called 'The Wednesday'. They've only been called Sheffield Wednesday Football Club since then (88 years), so all this '150 years of Sheffield Wednesday' is a load of bollocks. It's only fairly recently that they've been known as 'The Pigs' and no, they've never scored four at BDTBL. Hope this helps.

I remember a much porkier version of Leon hitting the bar at the Lane after coming on as sub.

"If you don't fucking bounce then you're a Bosch".

A power tool?

I suppose the reason is wasn't a proper game was that many of our lads were away in France fighting the Boche

 

[Punk Blade]

7-3 doesn’t count according to them as it was too long ago (1979 being yesterday), so anything before then clearly doesn’t count either.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Unsurprisingly they count it as one of their '48 wins' against us

I was surprised to hear Mark The Pitsmoor Armed Robber quote the 48 wins each statistic during his "history lesson" on FH last night. According to Soccerbase, the real figures are United 46 and W*dnesday 41, including cups.

He did start to talk about draws, but he couldn't remember the number, but it wouldn't have surprised me if he'd tried to claim they'd had more than us

 

[I should coco]

Even if he generously admitted that we had the same number of draws as them, what about 'moral victories'? I'm sure we'd find that Wendy are far ahead.

Also the stats are biased against SWFC as it ignores all the thrashings that should have happened between 1867 and 1889.

They really are 'Oldest, biggest, best'.

 

[JJBlade]

I'm saying no, even if they have I can just deny it or say it doesn't count because we were terrible that day

 

[oldblade]

Before we existed Wednesday often played their matches at Bramall Lane, so they my well have scored four goals there. However, they have never done it against us - not in any league, FA cup or league cup matches.

Not necessarily so:

Ill gladly let them count that if they acknowledge us winning the league in 1941

While 3 of us were having our wounds re-dressed in the hospital tent by the side of the pitch

That handily wipes off all their league titles & cup wins then.
(ours too I know, but we're not the ones rewriting history when it suits us)
