Drunken coked up old Blades "wanting it".

[HighfieldBlade]

There was one particularly unpleasant character in there hurling all sorts of racist nonsense at the screen towards the city players. I confronted him just after 2 0 and he piped down. Found it utterly shocking no one else said anything to him and genuinely quite shocking stuff like this is still going on in this day and age. He wasn't an old chap either. Probably early 30s.

Well done mate - having been on the receiving end of racist chants and comments over the years - occasionally (and unfortunately) from fellow Blades - your stance is commendable.

 

[Gimli]

Had a great laugh with blades and city fans alike yesterday. Didn’t see any trouble personally (but not denying it happened).

 

[Rusty view]

As we walked out (early) a 6ft 6 bloke clearly pussed was chatting to my 9 yr old. He was quite funny but leathered....minutes later he tried over fell flat on his face....he was fine but Di make me chuckle.

Luckily us neither. Both sets walking round each other before and after.
All blades around us (behind our net) and in the concourse nice and loud and behaving as you'd hope.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Strange old incident in block 139.

Older bloke couldn’t stand up anymore just after half time asked a young lad twice to siddarn, though no idea why because all blokes in front said young lad were stood up. Next thing young lad is in floods of tears and his mother was screamed dogs abuse at this old bloke who gave plenty back.

Mother then grassed him up to a steward who waded into the row behind the old geezer instead and started arguing with another group of blokes which led to a bit of pushing and shoving, the stewars retreating to his mates then offering all the Blades blokes out and telling them to come down to concourse to have a go. All very bizarre.

Oh and we had a drunken old bloke who fell over the seats next to me straight after kick off and spent the whole first half shouting ‘Fucking gerrim to em United you are too passive’ and ‘Run Jebbo you lazy bastard’ the whole time City had the ball.

Agree with that. By and large it was a good-natured affair - even shared a few handshakes after the game with the city fans who wished us well for our promotion push.

That was exactly my experience. Nearly.
Watford Gap - good chat with some City fans.
Watford Junc - same in a little backstreet pub near the station.
Trains in & out - funny Blades singing every time the train warned people to ‘mind the gap (Sheffield Wednesday)…’
Only little issue was a bloke in his late 50’s who seemed that pissed he fell off his seat into the people in front of him a couple of times. Luckily no one got hurt & a word from the stewards seemed to settle him down a bit.

 

[Rodley]

These days, a lot of them and many considerably younger too.

It’s not just about getting pissed anymore, for these idiots it’s about how much shite you can shove up your nose. It’s almost like it’s become a normalised behaviour

That’s not just a normal thing for football, that’s youngsters on a night out full stop. It’s absolutely commonplace now. It’s cheaper than booze, though it’s probably about 2% coke.

 

[RWE]

Couldn’t believe how many people were that pissed/coked up they couldn’t even watch the match, so many on safe standing area just messing about with each other turning the complete opposite way to the pitch. Really embarrassing to see.

The behaviour of an increasing number of our fans is why some of us no longer go to away games.

Exactly the same as me, I loved away days and going to football to pretend I know better than managers and look at formations and tactics, but as an away fan you get tarred with the same brush as everyone else who is causing trouble

 

[Jon Bon II]

Had a woman, who looked old enough to know better, yelling and screaming at me at the end, obviously taking umbridge that I was stood up clapping Hecky and the players off. I couldn't quite tell what she was yelling, such was her froth and anger, but it was something along the lines of "the games over, when are you going to take the bloody dog out? You've done nothing all day and I give you one job to do..." I tried to ignore her but in the end, I had to move. I just don't need it at my age. This is exactly the type of behaviour that drives blokes away from the telly and back into the grounds.

Hello Stegosaurus,

Pretty embarassing. i am guessing they only peacocked to who they thought were easy targets, and would be as quiet as lambs if some brutes went walking by.

I have a mental image of a group of blokes -- fat, bald, red-faced, ugly. Some wearing too tight Blades shirts over their bulging bellies, shit tattoos covering their arms. Probably used to be pretty hard back in the day, but now the only person they can beat up is their wife when she "cheeks them off" AKA tuts at their embarassing behavior.

Have absolutely nothing go on in their lives and have achieved absoliutely nothing other than being a bit hard "back in the day" Desperate to relive the "glory days" and are desperate to be respected by the younger lads in their Stone Island jackets at the pub. The type of person who gets a cheap flight to a Spanish island, gets pissed up at 'Spoons before the flight and spends the entire three hours drunkenly harassing the air hostess.

Hiya Stegosaurus

I think you'll be surprised to find that the idiots you describe look nowt like this. I am fat, bald, ugly, my Blades shirts are a bit tight and I have shit tats. But I'm not at all interested in acting like a cunt at footy games, in particular when I wear the club's colours. All I want is to sit, watch footy, sing and cheers us on.

You might want to widen your profiling a bit and look at what you look like, your neighbour and any other ordinary person on the street. Hooligans aren't of a specific type. They are just there and for none of the reasons above. And they are cunts.

[Hillsboro Blade]

The fat bastard wearing a shirt so tight it had obviously been on boil wash, got right on my tits. “Stand up and sing, every time I come to Wembley we’ve got you wankers”. Stupid ignorant prick. How do these fucking morons know what might be an issue with somebody? Arthritis, bad back, old age, or heaven forbid, trying to watch the match? Last time I go to Wembley, it’s like the dawn of man every time I go

First thing I thought when I saw the thread title

 

[Wilderat Heart]

I think your experience depends on where you were. My experience of the Hull game was completely positive and I saw no trouble at all. Yesterday I was on a row next to two young lads who screamed vile abuse at the city players the whole game. They were kids, if i'd had young kids with me not used to it, it would have made me very uncomfortable. My kids are grown up and the language used would have not bothered them when they were that age, but wembley is often filled with families. I sit in the middle of the kop not the family stand, and I don't hear abuse like this very often aimed at specific players, before the game has actually kicked off. I used to go home and away in the 80s. I don't anymore mainly because I can't afford it. Ironically their dad left at 10 mins before the end to miss the rush and "them bastards outside" so they wandered off sheepishly. Most of my row left so I looked around to check what I thought must be a mass exodus but from my viewpoint most fans stayed and applauded the team off. I was proud of our fans yesterday, of course some were dicks. A lot were drunk. Any younger fans reading this however who think things are anything like as bad as they used to be. In the 80s the walk to the pink car park after the game through the exiting city fans would have been bedlam.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Shame the usual cunt brigade had to do their thing and affect the day for the people that encountered them. Sadly all clubs have that element, not a lot you can do about it unfortunately.

Re. the booing of Grealish...I'm not sure why it was a thing? I mean yeah, he has a reputation for going down easily, and rolling around like he's been shot, but as others have said, he seems like a decent lad if you take the time to watch interviews and stuff with him. His celebration for England, that he'd promised to a young disabled City fan, was really nice, and it really does seem like he's grown up a bit under Pep. Plus he got more or less marked out of the game by Furious George.

 

[buddy]

Does it still go on ,the ‘do what i do or youre not a proper Blade’ intimidation then ?

 

[Stretch]

We were getting grief from some short arse drunken old blade in The Green Man. We were minding our own business and this cunt kept saying to the four of us, "you're not real blades" and then to me (I'm 52), "how long have you been a blade" so I said "all my life, though obviously not as long as you".... then he started going on about had we seen Eddie Colquhoun play, "no mate, I'm not old enough", "ah well you're not real blades". He was getting quite worked up and even punched a nearby van. At this point, the lads he was with who I think was his son was trying to calm him down and even said "don't do this again". Embarrassing. He was clearly smashed and doubt he'll remember much about the day. There's no fool like an old fool.

I take it the van hadn't seen Colquhoun play either?

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

Wasn't going to say anything, but if we're in the trust tree... We were sat near one of the 'youtubers' who occasionally vlogs and he didn't stop F'ing C'ing all game. Which is personally doesn't offend me but he was sat behind a family with a young kid and next to a couple of kids who were a bit older but still.

Was it the one that wears a flat cap?

 

[Tarqs]

Absolutely not, why would it be acceptable? But it probably didn't happen either.

Id guess if probably did considering i saw numerous instances of such behaviour

Unpopular opinion but I’ve come around to quite liking Grealish as a bloke since he left Villa. Does a lot of charity and community work, always has time for young fans and has a become a hell of a player.

Still never gaffered our George though.

But seeing a grown man call Grealish a 'fucking cunt' at the top of his voice every time he touched the ball and then hurling abuse at City players for 90mins...

Just enjoy the game! We've been travelling all day! Breathe in the occasion, cherish the moment. Nah, they're all fucking cunts... Apparently.

Assumption is, there's a lot of angry men out there who either need a hug or a real good kicking. Maybe both...

It's really not difficult.

We'd been drinking since early AM, and when me and a couple mates are at the match singing its not uncommon for some bad language to come out. Just as kick off started a mother and her daughter who must have been less than 10 sat next to us so we still chanted with everyone and what not but just kept the language down around the kids.

We'd had more than enough beers, not hammered but not sober but that doesn't excuse being a wanker to and around people.

 

[Hodgesleftpeg]

Sacrificed some of the atmosphere and paid for the most expensive tickets. Glad I did as I didn’t want my lads first Wembley experience ruined.

Saw a bit of scrapping outside, probably Blade on Blade


Oh and Jack Grealish is far from a cunt.
He’s a genuinely nice bloke

 

[ForgeBlade]

Same here. Used to despise the bloke, but nowadays he comes across as a decent lad. The stuff he did with the young city fan with Cerebral Palsy was really nice, and you could see it meant a lot to him.

 

[ben1987]

Grealish comes across as a fairly sound lad. He was always complimentary about us when he was at Villa. Always seems to have got time for his fans and seems nice enough. He’s done a few daft things in his time and wears daft socks but I can’t help but like him.

Not a fan of Wembley at all. Before all seater stadiums, you had a choice and if you wanted the less boisterous, quieter option to watch a match and could afford it, you bought a seat. If you wanted to be more vociferous with your support you opted for the terraces, even then, you would be able to pick between the more boisterous or the quieter terracing at a lot of grounds. At Wembley you were directed towards a section of the terracing, but you still had a bit of choice about where and who you stood with. Nowadays you just have the option to pay a lot of money to join the lottery of who you are going to end up sitting near, mitigated to some extent by season tickets and knowing the areas of your home ground. But going to away games doesn’t offer this and Wembley for some reason over emphasises the diversity of supporter behaviours in any section of the ground, I have found it a more and more unpleasant place to visit, and definitely not addressed by nonsense initiatives like restricting how big a bag you can take in.

 

[RecordBreakers]

Tbf Tarqs it probably did walking back to the coach with young en I had to drag a blade away from 6 or so city fans that was turning ugly, its absolutely pointless pissed up behaviour.

 

[Hartley Hare]

Fat bastard on the way back to the coaches looking for a scrap. Couldn't get a bite so he nicked a scarf from one child in a City shirt and threw horseshit (with his bare hands) at another. Then tried to throw more horse shit up from the road to the stadium level.

Seen somewhere near Wembley.........

I'm no dinosaur and know that people do 'sniff' at football games. I On the other hand am a typical 'tight as a ducks arse' Yorkshireman and the thought off paying ridiculous amounts of money to shove a concoction of chemicals up your nose, it does naff all for me. Working in a medical profession and knowing the composition of that stuff, I think you best stick you calling it 'sniff' because you sure as hell cant call it Cocaine. Samples in UK major cities showing cocaine contents of less than 8% and a whole range of cutting agents. Some pretty harmful in plain flour, talc, and glucose.... however Samples have shown paracetamol, laxatives and even Heroin and Fentanyl.... coneplete mugs game if you ask me, but each to their own.

One thing I will say though is that if this is your sort of lifestyle choice and you opt to spend stupid money sniffing drugs at football..... Do it away from everyone else and taking drugs doesn't give you reason to be a bellend.

For instance baker street at a well known boozer. With drinking comes the need to go to the toilet.... I nip through and head down the stairs for a strategic slash prior to Wetherspoons and find myself greeted with a queue... After waiting a few minutes and hearing banging, laughing and joking in the toilets, a bloke stood with his teenage lad shouts out "What are you pissing about at in there? Come on my lads bursting for a piss here"..

One of the lads in the bloke storms out and "Fuck off and wait a minute will ya, we're rendering".......Seriously?? I must be getting old but I had to go back outside and ask if 'rendering meant what I thought it did'....

Sorry but absolute bellend behaviour.

The pièce de résistance in Drug bellendery however came within the stadium itself.... Just before kick off I go for a strategic slash to see me on till half time... in the bog, in full view of all.... in front of FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN. Two tosspots stand in pretty full view, with no real shame.... snorting it off the back of their hands and rubbing the remnants into their gums.

In front off innocent young children fellas....cone on seriously?? Get a grip you absolute numpties.

Whinge over.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Blades fans yesterday were just like the Burnley fans we hated in 2009. Some reyt vile bastards.
Didn't see any gobby City fans thank fuck, kept out of any congestion though.

Don’t know if maybe I look the sort to be interested but I was offered some of the aforementioned sniff in what I assume was the same Baker Street boozer you’re talking about.

Not for me lads, but you do you.
