a day out in sheffield .. blades vs tranmere

[super_pig]

as an au homage to olle

well it all started out ok but our lass was an hour late (she's always f**king late!) for her shopping trip to York, so i had to run her into Sheff.. of course by the time i got there i didn't really have enough time to drive to Bradda and back so i figured i'd go and meet up with Olle in the Rutland and grab some lunch.. i'd not really thought it out .. i only had a t shirt and a hoodie on
Olle can't make it so i figured i'd go and check out the people at the golden lion. plus swissblade was bound to be in there.. goes in.. it's like a scene from a western.. perhaps it was the blue stripes on my adidas hoodie that upset people who knows.. anyways i don't normally drink but i figure if i get a coke then i might get my head stoved in, so i asked for a guinness.. no guinness.. i'll try a john smiths then.. (first thing i saw) .. disgusting.. got my customary headache in a record ten minutes.
so i figure Linz must be here and anyway i still owe her a pint (turns out Swiss is stuck on a plane).. but i can't see her anywhere..(have you changed your hair linz?? i was relying on you.. you're the only face i know!!).. and i don't know any other f**ker so i go out for a fag.. or two or three.. and suddenly realise i'm bloody freezing. so i headed off back to the car near the Rutland to meet my mate..
on the way i'm starving so i gets a cheeseburger from the van.. it was beautiful. unfortunately i don't get on with fresh breadcakes (wasn't expecting one tbh!) and so now i've got indegestion to look forward to (nothing wrong with the burger it was wicked).. i'm now so cold that i went in Decathlon for a cheap fleece and its the best 6-99 i've ever spent.. if i hadn't have bought it i'd be in hospital now..
so to the match.. umm. umm.. Olles texting 'what is happening'.. and i'm sending back.. 'err nowt's happening mate' and thats about it for the game.. i'm now frozen to death
Swiss suggests a meet but i don't feel well enough .. sorry mate..

i've seen the worst game for years. . so boring in fact that even the pork sandwich guy on john street got subdued and knocked off early (wow.. i've never seen that .. ever)
so.. got a stonking headache.. nearly froze to death.. and got indegestion (actually that last bit is a lie. i just puked my ring out, so i'm feeling a bit better!) in fact, the anadin is kicking in and so is the woodburner.. things are looking up

i'll be back for more.. life experience this blades lark

i'll have to try and catch up with you guys another time.. perhaps you should all wear t shirts or sit under a flag or something


UTB!!

Cracking day out mate! hadn't realised that you'd be looking for me, but basically here's mine...

Works Christmas party in Zurich last night, ended at 3am, too much booze, dancing (the caterpillar), the lasses from work were eating out the palm of my hand with my skills...and the taxi taking me to inwil in Lucerne instead of zug, I got back to the apartment at 430am! Was up this morning for the flight, struggled with cold hangover sweats and chats with the lads about last night and today's arrangements.

With landing at 1315 it was always going to be tight, me dad picked me up in my car so I drove from man to sheff, hence not replying to yours and ollies texts... Nobody ever texts me on a sat before football... I had 7 messages when I got to London road.

Hadn't had a pre match pint so I knew it would be a bad sign. Arrived at the turnstile in time for the GCB, my mate met me with my season ticket and in we went.... God that was a shite game. We played better at Brentford (2nd half)....

Didn't even bother with a pint at half time. The lads had the hip flask. No pie, no pint, no bovril. Just crap brandy!

After the match didn't see super_pig message until he sent the second one, we only had one in the lion...

Thought we were going for a session, but turns out we've arranged that for Boxing Day, so we meandered down to Eccy road and Champs to watch the dingle v pigs...

Walking past the Pomona I was laughing and saying "Kim el this place has always been a shithole" turns out that its the new champs. Seriously, what a god awful place it is. I remember it from years gone by as a real dive (by Eccy road standards) can't believe that champs has become this!

Had a few pints, walked to KFC but that's now at Pizza Hut on Berkeley precinct... I've obviously not been on Eccy road much for a while

Christ you must all be about 20 stone and have guts like sewers

13... and a half.. actually

 

[blade too long]

who stole the match , it never turned up

I thought Id watched 100 minutes of pre match kicking in

Ive seen games that needed a goal , to liven it up , the only time there was a passing move was when they kicked off, Im pretty sure one of the linesmen fell asleep ,stood up, The opta match stats bloke apparently rang the Samaritans

well of course you didn't.. i was making it up as i went along :0)
btw thanks olle for putting up with all the annoying texts .. feeling a lot better today.. need to go and get a f**king tree before our lass gets back..
a point doesn't look so bad now i've thawed out.. the manner of the point is very worrying though

Im pretty sure one of the linesmen fell asleep ,stood up.

I'm almost certain that one of them is still watching intently the arse of their last defender, which is what he did regardless of where the ball/play was, ensuring he had absolutely no idea what else was going on around him. Should anyone decide to play the ball roughly in their direction, he'll be waving his flag.

So a few days have passed and I know what the problem was.... I watched the game sober! Never again!
