Ah, The Macedonian Independence Day Massacre.

 

[JohnStreet]

What a pasting!

 

[derfblade.3]

And Brooks got a hat trick!.....the signs are good.

 

[Revolution]

We also won 3-1 at the Sty, completing a great double, but finished 11th, which was our (joint) lowest league position until 1978. We were Champions the year after of course.

The Pigs won the league after Derek Dooley was brought into the team and scored 46 goals in 30 games.

Note the hint of bias in the sub-title. A "thriller" is a see-saw match that ends 3-2 or 4-3. This game was not a thriller by anyone's definition, it was an out and out pasting. It seems our local rag's bias is more longstanding than we think.

I notice Rotherham drew at Everton that day: Everton had just been relegated. They went back up in 1954 and have been in the top flight ever since. They've only spent 4 seasons out of the top division, which is a record.

Of course, if certain Wimbledon players had played like honest men they would have come down in 1994.

This was Satdi's Green Un in the days when not everyone knew the results. In the interest of sales they have to make the front page look exciting, hence 'Thriller'.

If they'd put 'Blades thrash Piggy Twats' on the headline they wouldn't have sold as many.

A man after my own heart.

Now't like bearing a grudge and 1994 seems like only yesterday.

One day, one day..........

 

[jqzblade]

Stir writing its usual rubbish! Only got the date wrong by 10 years and managed to knock a thousand off the attendance.
It's what we expect I suppose?

Dooley was playing for Wendy reserves at S6 on the day we beat them 7-3 but he played and scored in our 3-1 win on New Years Day 1952

 

[BigBed]

Change "Ringstead" for "Donaldson", and is happily take that headline on the back of the Sun on sept 25th 2017!!!

See if I'd have written it it would have been:

HA HA HA! CUNTS GET TUBBED!

Blades shit all over pisspoor team in easy drubbing

Sheffield United ran out absolute winners at Bramall Lane this afternoon, kicking seven glorious goals past some shitbox outfit from across the city. The opposition team, who kicked off ninety seconds before United with a one goal start, might as well not have turned up for the rest of the game. They left the pitch with their shameful heads lowered and their massive away support of 13 (plus a Cairn Terrier called Anus) trudged out of the ground wondering why they ever chose to follow such substandard bastards. Over on the Shoreham Street end, where the home supporters jubilantly celebrated, songs such as 'you're not fit to eat my shit!' and 'fuck off, you're a Wednesdayite!' chorused from the terraces. Afterwards, in the Sportsman pub, Blades fan Stan Pikelet said over a foaming pint of Hagen's Special, "Tell thi what. I'm fucking reyt chuffed, me. Seven - three. I'm gonna get reyt cunted, fuck off home, slap the missus and get me fuck eaerd darn."

Elsewhere, The Wednesday manager Bert Thirdperson said on the tram home, "I'm fuckin gutted. They played like wazzocks. I'm gonna get reyt cunted, fuck off home, slap the missus and get me fuck eaerd darn."

You are a very naughty boy.

I'll let you off this time with a warning but if it happens again I'll come down there and take that little boat off you. Then you will only have Ducky Duck and that plastic book to play with in the bath.

 

[coaxingstar71]

It shows how sad they are that they still harp on about a 4-0 win from 37 years ago, yet were we still harping on about the 7-3 win only 28 years before that back in 1979?

 

[Hull Blade]

9/9/51.....I remember it well. I was a mere nagging itch in the old fellas gonads.

Some cracking results. Everton 3-3 Rotherham sounds like a hum-dinger.
Barnsley lost again..No change there then.

 

[TonyAgana]

Two absolute pearlers in this thread - actually out-loud laughing (OLL) at work. Round of applause for Tyler Durden and pommpey

 

[Kentblade]

Remember it well.
The hat trick was by Harold Brook who along with Jimmy Hagan opened a sports shop on London Road later on.
Very unusual for Fred Furniss to miss a penalty.

Very happy days.

Ah, The Macedonian Independence Day Massacre.

Brilliant!

And we will fight
Forever more
Because of the Macedonian Independence Day Massacre.

Has a ring about it.

In Denis Clareborough's complete records it states that the scorers were Derek Hawksworth 2, Harold Brook 2, Alf Ringstead 2 and Fred A Smith (Little Fred). Interesting that the Green Un report states that Brook scored a hat trick

 

[Seanshoreham]

This game in 1951 and the boxing day game 1979 highlights the difference between Blades and Pig fans.

My dad was at the 7-3 game and only mentioned it once in passing during my childhood in the 1960s - as for the Pigs and 1979, well it goes to prove how classless they are

Conclusive proof snooty, not that it was needed.

Danny will be along in 5...4...3...2...1

Just joshing

heh quality read .. perhaps a change of occupation imminent

yeah that totally cracked me up

. "Everybody except the spectators seemed to score" - a wonderful line from Harry Heap. His cartoons were often the best reading in the Green 'Un and Star for years. I particularly liked his drawings of players carrying two conical objects (the points for a win in those days).
