Has a Blades player ever 'done an Eric Dier'?

[1973Blade]

And confronted the supporters. It all got a bit toxic during the Adkins era, but it didn't end in confrontation. I remember reading about Fatty Foulkes, didn't he get involved in arguments with fans?

I seem to remember Devlin doing something along those lines during his final day's here.

 

[Tarqs]

Devlin threatened to, but it was all hot air.

I didn't see it but judging from the reports of those who did Devlin got all the abuse that he deserved, there's one thing playing football and coming up short, or making a mistake and paying the price but engineering a move away (and for low money), he can end up in the twats thread and only because there isn't a c**ts thread. Cheeky fucker had the audacity to say he wouldn't rule out a move back to United after it had all gone wrong for him too. Wanker.

 

[Weasel]

Agree. Devlins effort levels during his last few games at the Lane were a disgrace. He didn't want to know and he cheated the Blades fans.

 

[McGrath]

Graham Taylor did at Bramall Lane, but obviously was the opposition manager and not one of ours. Didn't he do a citizens arrest or something.

Alternatively.... I've properly let rip my feelings a few times on nobheads who were abusing our own players. I don't pay my hard earned cash to spend 90 minutes listening to deranged abuse!

Paul Richardson gave Kop the rods.

Think there is a c**nts thread now. Get with the times

I was on the kop that day. To be fair he'd been getting pelters from the crowd, particularly the kop, all the game and if memory serves for about the last 3 home games.

I think that was his last game for us.

Some absolute pond life spat at Taylor that day, not suprised he had a go.

Once saw Laurent D'Jaffo giving some back to our fans who travelled down to Fulham when we lost something like 4-0 there and barely mustered an effort on goal.

Pissed it down too, if we're talking about the same game. The day of the infamous Fulham Monty.

Yes that's the one. We were on the open terrace and got soaked - terrible day!

Wasn't that when he was sent off for kicking an opposition player in the face when they were both on the floor? Think the whole ground booed him off.

There was some altercation, but in my memory he was substituted rather than sent off.

I'm sure he was sent off. Silent Blade !

Didn't Stephen Quinn have a go back after getting slagged off at Blackpool a few seasons back?

I was on the kop as well. Never popular, Richardson.

 

[DifferentClass]

Not exactly the same thing but the Portsmouth lino incident in 98.

Or it would have been if he'd put up a feyt!

 

[Silent Blade]

I'm sure he was sent off. Silent Blade !

I probably wasn't at the match. I was playing football regularly on Saturdays between 1979 and 1984.

I remember reading in the papers that John Matthews got into a mini punch up with fans at the tunnel after getting sent off at either Exeter or Torquay in the final minutes. Not sure if they were our fans or Torquay/Exeter fans. A Blade from Dronfield who was at the match was telling me about it a few days later and he thinks that it were the Blades fans Matthews was swinging punches at.

I remember going to an EDs meeting in 1974 where fans asked questions to the panel. The panel were Ken Furphy, Alan Woodward, Bill Dearden and Mick Speight. My dad would be "my ears" telling me what was said. I felt sorry for Mick Speight because hardly anyone at the meeting asked him a question but I remember one topic was about fans giving some players stick and Mick Speight was telling the audience that at a reserves match a spectator in the John Street terraces was constantly giving him stick so near the end of the game the went over to this spectators, took his boots off and challenged him to put the boots on and go on to the pitch. It then shut the spectator up!

Yeah, the sidewinder that he didn't see coming out a stop to that.

Just looked in Clareborough's complete records. The match I was referring to was the 3-1 defeat at Exeter in January 1980 when Matthews got sent off and then threw punches at a group of fans near the tunnel. Anyone remember?

Only time Richardson was sent off according to Clareborough's records was in the 3-0 win (Morris hat trick) in October 1982

According to Clareborough's records, Richardson was subbed twice in home games. 2-1 win (Towner winner) against Bradford in April 1983 and 1-0 defeat to Lincoln in May 1983. I definitely wasnt at either game.
