Pre-Match View From Hull

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

“March 10th ? 1971 Sheffield United 1 Hull City 2. The Battle of Bramall Lane. Sheff U first home defeat of the season, record crowd, three sided ground. I was there.”

“They reckon we kicked em off the park that night, bless em.”

They certainly did that - Ken Knighton should have been put in a cage in Whipsnade Zoo after that disgraceful show........

I remember Blades beating this lot 6-0; a repeat of that would be nice.

As far as I can recall we were dishing it out as much as them. The referee called all 20 outfield players into the centre circle and gave them a stern telling off, much like you would see with a teacher and some six year olds.

Strange they refer to it as the Battle of Bramall Lane because all I can say about it is that it was a rough match in the early 70s.

For me the Battle of Bramall Lane was an entirely different game altogether!!

I'm calling them Hull City Tigers all weekend. That'll make 'em cry.

Hull Tigers. They hate it if you drop the "City".

Ken Knighton and about six others. Always tried to kick us off the pitch, and there was always fishmonster inspired trouble at Boothferry Park.

Hull were the original long ball, hoof, direct team with that 71 side.
They had a stocky little striker Wagstaff and he could finish.

 

[Tezza1889]

Who is this Hull City they speak of..

We're playing Hull Tigers tomorrow aren't we ..

 

[Tezza1889]

"Where's your city gone"

It's gotta be tomorrow's big chant hasn't it...

 

[Blade56]

We are now a target club for everyone to beat. Words out we play football like a fekin hurricane and they will all have a go at us like QPR. Hope we are more prepared for it next time.

Blimey, your doctor is quicker than ours to see patients!

Only blood tests today. Playing the waiting game now. The old waiting game

Who the fuck are Hull City ?

Cheers Roy.

all that screamed of was - "please be our rival, go on I'll pay you if you like.... please"

Fucking Hull - was unlucky enough to work there for a month, in a mobile Phone shop, one guy seriously tried to get a phone on contract using his prison release papers as his form of ID.

I'm amazed Big Vern will work with you after that episode. Doesn't like being told "no". He's a bit like a psychotic, punch drunk version of a petulant 5 year old.

He was a bit Big Vern like as well, normally it would not have bothered me but he looked like he ate babies and dogs as a way to kill some time, so I called over my Manager and tactically retreated from them...

My then Manager was less than thrilled when he had to explain a few times why it could not be used as ID and having Lived at her Majesty's pleasure for the last 8 years with no fix abode, he was unlikely to get a phone on contract, to which he called him a cunt and walked out...

Big Vern packed in the babies when the Acid Reflux got bad. Doing a stretch for it didn't help too much either, although his mobile phone story makes a bit more sense now........................

Cheers Roy.

Who the fuck is Mark Lambett anyway?

The only good thing to come out of Hull is the fucking A63.

True, and they do have a poor mans "Golden Gate Bridge" nearby.

I reckon we ought to thank Roy for his efforts on this one, going through their forums is one thing but translating into English deserves a special like, cheers Roy.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Er ner, the herl ferns dernt lerk us merch.

The cheek of it, the club who sing "Mauled by the tigers" while doing the stupid dance/gesture thing think our anthem is "cheesy?" Couldn't make that up. Hope we bounce back from Tuesday in style and smash them to bits.

 

[Mousey]

They are like the Coventry of Yorkshire. Shit hole town that nobody cares about, getting fucked over by their owner and having to invent a rivalry to feel important.

Crab Translation Services (a division of Crab Industries) were more than happy to assist.

Parity restored , some good old fashioned , bitterness & hatred .. I was beginning to get worried .. Sheff Utd fans all look the same ?? From a city where duelling banjo’s has topped the charts for 40 years & your a weirdo if a lass isn’t pushing a pram by 13 I find that rather narrow minded wouldn’t you say old chap ?

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

thanks pal for this

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Silly cunts have gone all cultural.

 

[I should coco]

True, and they do have a poor mans "Golden Gate Bridge" nearby.

Not quite like crossing ;Frisco bay in the California sunshine though.

Their 'Turd Gate Bridge' takes you to Grimsby, nuff said.

The Deep is very good to be honest. I like Fort Paull too, but I wouldn't say it's something you can do when the weather is rubbish.

Just think of the penguins in The Deep....

"Oh great, were being rescued from the Arctic! Where are you taking us? Anywhere will be less grim and dull than here???"

You're on a plane to Hull lads...

Mass suicide, it'd be like a weekend with David Koresh but with Penguins
