Best comedy moment when watching the Blades

[Jostein Flo]

A non-footballing one for me, but one that I will remember until my dying day. Stood outside the Millenium Stadium before the Play-Off final with Wolves there was a large queue formed in front of the single Brains Bitter van which was the only source of booze. As happens with large crowds outside major football it wasn't long before a football started getting hoofed around, being leathered high into the air and coming down in unsuspecting sections of the crowd. One poor bastard had just picked up his round of 4 (stupidly expensive) beers and started to head off back to his mates when the ball sailed in from one end of the street and smacked him on the back of the head, beers dropped, everyone laughing... poor poor bastard.

Lee Baxter impersonating a goalkeeper - badly

Sat in the away end at the emirates listening to a load of sub-human scumbags behind us singing "you're just a bunch of french fucking niggers", wasn't particularly funny (especially given the events on the pitch), but watching them get chucked out by the fuzz at half time certainly was.

Luton away the season we got promoted, it was really sunny and we were stood outside a pub having a couple of pre-match sneck lifters, with numerous unknown but fellow blades. One of who is disabled and in a wheelchair, when another blade in a wheelchair comes around the corner and they immediately began chatting, Blade#1 "Where's tha got thi car parked up", Blade#2 "In't official car park", Blade#1 "Aarrs tha managed that, thi wunt let me in. Thi sed that thi wernt spaces for disabled", Blade#2 "I asked a young black lad wi a clipboard if I cud get in, he sed only if mi name were on his list". Blade#1 "Wor append then" Blade#2 "I sed mi name were Neil Warnock an he let mi in". We nearly spilled our ale with laughing.

I remember that game. We didnt think wed get tickets so we went corporate and sampled the delights of the Eric Morcambe Suite (the last word in leisure in Luton) where a seemingly pissed Nick Owen regaled us with a bunch of dirty jokes about Anne Diamond. We had to dress up and I went metrosexual, wearing a pink tie a shirt with my suit. Sadly, the corporate seats at Kenilworth Road are just a few padded seats in the middle of their Kop. As soon as I was rumbled as a Blade 3,000 Luton fans spent the rest of the match questioning my sexuality via the medium of song.

This is one I was told by another Blade...

Some years ago, back when Harry Enfield was popular, we were playing Forest at home. This mate of mine was on the John Street Stand and a few rows in front of him was a Forest fan. He was left alone but eventually his gobbing off got too much for the tolerant souls of John Street. A few words and slaps were exchanged and the coppers stepped in to escort him out. As they led him up the steps he turned, broke away from the cops, and shouted back at the Blades fans...

"I could not help noticing that our miners are considerably richer than yours!"

"Right", said the cop grabbing the Forest fan, "back you go" and he chucked him down the steps towards a recption committee of irate Blades.

Any shot by Monty!!

 

[scouseblade]

Another one was the referee Kevin Lynch, a balding useless git of a ref, getting called a "Bald Headed Bastard" by the Kop in a rearranged game against Wolves, he begun to conduct the Kop like an orchestra!

 

[Robbie]

It was Shaun Derry. Very funny indeed.

It was, actually just made me laugh at loud at work reminiscing on that hahaha

 

[Wards]

I thought it was a West Brom flag?

That'd be the one, I really couldn't remember who it was against. A classic moment.

 

[bricktop]

Mid 90's, a home night match when Kendall was manager, think it might have been Charlton. One of the opposition defenders cleared the ball, straight in to the chops of the referee Gurnham Singh who it took clean out. Always remember his name as the ref who took one in the kisser.

 

[Wards]

I notice there's not too many comedy moments from the doom and gloom merchants of the board - maybe they really do have no sense of humour

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Bassett era going to Liverpool when they actually had a few scousers supporting the team. Encountering a group of Blades (about 20 in total) all in shellsuits, curly wig and comedy moustache telling everyone in a red shirt to 'Caaaahm down!'

 

[holmfirthblade]

This one is a slight comedy moment and a real nice memory, we were playing Blackurn I think in the FA Cup and it went to penalties. Me and my dad were sat in the old Family stand, Pembo walked up to take the decisive penalty and scored, we started jumping up and down cuddling the people around us when out of no where comes this copper who picks me up and gave me a massive cuddle then remembered where he was and what he should be doing, he apolagised and walked back up the stand, still makes the hairs on the back of my neckk stand up.
I should also point out that I was maybe 10 years old at the time....

 

[Wards]

Probably the best 5 penalties the Blades have taken. Each one was unsavable!

 

[Eskimo]

A couple:
Simon Stainrod against Luton I think circa 1976. Drew the goalie, slotted the ball home, spins round celebrating the goal. But it had stuck in the mud on the line - no goal! We all knew but Stan was still celebrating.

At Darlington before the match where we celebrated promotion we were in a crowd of people when a group of kids suddenly ran out of a nearby shop, a private shop, armed with all sorts of stuff. They were pursued by the owner who was as fat as he was tall who promptly fell over. Everyone started laughing which made the owner even more angry and the kids distibuted what they had nicked. There were inflated bizarre johnnies (condoms), blow up dolls etc all around the ground.

On pitch - still smile at the memory of Jan Aage scything down the mascot at Huddersfield.

Off pitch - Can't decide between first meeting with an ex-poster on here, or when said ex-poster on here ditched us all in favour of his new mates at the Goldon Lion. Or any Bashtour.:thumbup:

I remember many years ago an away fan running on to the pitch and being pursued by South Yorkshires finest across the cricket square. As the lad made a dive for the terracing near the pavilion, the Copper grabbed his foot bringing him to an abrupt halt in mid air before he landed on the rounded off tops of that white steel perimeter fencing, painful, but funny.

John Hope, goalie in the 70's, someone threw him an Orange from the kop and he peeled it and ate it during the game, actually it was probably a satsuma cos I don't think he took his gloves off.

Pembertons attempted somersault throw in, was priceless too. I wonder if he'll be teaching that to the academy lads?

That reminds me of a bloke in the South Stand about ten years ago in the row in front of me. At half time he returned to his seat carrying a hot meat pie. He carefully sat down and raised it to his mouth, whereupon all the meat (?) and gravy dropped out of the pie and on to his lap, leaving him with just the crust in his hands.

He must have felt a real plonker because he showed no reaction; he sat perfectly still and cast sideways glances to his right and left before quietly trying to wipe up the mess on his lap. No doubt the experience scarred him for life, perhaps in more ways than one.

 

[gavtheblade]

This was an off pitch.can you remember the fa cup game against arsenal at bdtbl in the mid 90`s when veart scored and we won 1.0.Well,before the game the stadium security announcement said`DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING VOLUME OF SUPPORTERS TRYING TO ENTER THE GROUND,THE GAME HAS BEEN DELAYED BY 15MINS TO SEE SHEFFIELD UTD WIN BY 1 GOAL TO NIL`and guess what.we did!!!!

I remember that!!! Quality moment!
I was stood about 5 yards away with a fresh pint in both hands, thanking my lucky stars that it wasn't me that fell foul of the mis-directed ball!

i am sure thats been on the telly before !,really quite funny,some refs do have a sense of humour

 

[Silent Blade]

Hodges coming on as sub in the FA Cup 4th round tie against Villa at home in 1996. One of the first things he did was to ankle tap Milosevic (who had dived to win a penalty) and sly elbows against him. Milosevic runs to the ref complaining about Hodgy's niggly fouls but the ref ignored him. in the next moment Hodges receives the ball and Milosevic steamed in in an effort to upend him but was foiled by a neat side-step and then a cool drag back. The Lane crowd cheered loudly

 

[mickle-blade]

Middlesborough.....sometime in the early 70s.
A couple of Blades tryng to get back on the bus with a stainless steel and glass door nicked (I think ) from the local Bowling Alley.
Bus driver did not have a sense of humour.
Anybody on here owning up to that one ? And what happenened to the door ?
