I was on holiday in Majorca a few years ago ( I know, what am I like?).

I went up to a beach bar and on the other side of it was Steve Claridge, which is bad enough, but to compound matters he was wearing a SWFC shirt. Not a T shirt , the actual shirt, match worn probably.

I hollered across to him ' Oi , I thought you were a Pompey fan?' at which he stood away from the bar to reveal he was wearing Pompey shorts and said ' I am a man of many guises'.

I was saving that one for when I'm on Parkinson but I do love a holiday story me.

So he's a sad boring cunt away from the TV screen as well?
 

I'm on holiday right now. Turkey, Bomonti beer on the go, and no Blades clothing - though as I'm one of those uncouth types with the badge tattooed on my arm, the other punters at the Indigo Beach Club and the Kalkan Regency Turkish baths are in no doubt as to my allegiance.

Up the Blades and forza holidays.

He was wrong on all sorts of levels, the fat twat. One of those who sees how much he can pile his plate up, then leaves half the fucker when his Acid Reflux cries "enough".

Coffee and a couple of Pastel de Natas usually do for me, but now again I like a bit of buffet as it means we can skip lunch and crack on if we're on a trip.
 
Went to New Zealand in January and visited a small town on the east coast. There were a number of tour guides offering trips which were quite expensive, so I approached this woman with a cheap looking blackboard with chalk written message offering 1 hour trips at a fraction of the price to the others.
Speaking to her, who was an American, recognised my accent and asked where I was from. "Sheffield" I said. "My husband's from Sheffied" she said. I asked if he was from the red or blue side. He turned out to be a big blade, but had left Sheffield over 30 years ago. Turned out he was the driver of the mini bus and as soon as he arrived to pick us up she had a word in his ear. He came straight over and placed me in the front seat next to him and we spent a good part of the hour reminiscing about the times he visited the Lane, talking about players such as Woodward and Currie, totalling ignoring the rest of the tourists in the back of the bus who were expecting to hear a running commentary about the town we were visiting.
When we ended the tour he said that it was the best hour he had spent in 30 years of doing the job.
It's a small world.
 
I’ve only eaten chips since I’ve been here. I know I’m on safe ground with chips rather than eating any foreign muck.

It’s got bloody worse as well. The Kareoke has turned Polish. It’s a good job I’ve been supping Ouzo

For a brief moment there were probably 2 Blades in Doha at that point. I know 2 Rotherham fans here but no Blades, no pigs either though.

In terms of adults in football shirts, my sartorial advice is that they should be used when carrying out physical activity. I wouldn't wear my gym gear to go out in so why would I wear a football shirt? The exceptions are retro shirts that can at a push be worn outside of doing physical activity. Kids can wear them whenever obviously.

There's at least one other in Doha, my brother has been out there 3 years. He has a couple of t shirts that are Bladey but no shirts.

It's the perennial off season thread. You know it makes sense.

I'm in Dawlish, Devon and today I've seen one Barcelona shirt, a Coventry shirt and 2 Blades shirts. No pig shirts. We're massive. More massiverer than City, Man Ure, Chelski, Real Madrid, the lot!

Funnily enough, the last time I was in Dawlish, about four years ago, I saw two lads in Blades shirts as well.

Also, I was in London today and saw a youth in a pig shirt. I just had to say pig as he walked past, v.childish I know but it just came out.

my next door neighbour doesn't even go to any football matches however I saw his son playing in the garden with a pig kit on. was tempted to call him a wanker but he's only about 8 so I decided against it. Reluctantly
 

I saw Derek Geary once in the Toby Carvery that was on Ecclesall Road South. He was going into the toilets as i was coming out.

Why anybody would pack a football shirt for a holiday is beyond me quite frankly.

"Ooh look at this photo of me, I'm at the top of Machu Picchu and I'm also wearing a replica shirt of my football team, isn't that a novelty?"

Reason 20,567 why English people abroad are cringeworthy as fuck.

Agree with this 100%

You can always gauge the quality of a resort by the amount of football shirts you see.

If it’s full of Celtic and Rangers shirts then you are in a right shit hole!

See those all the time in Blackpool. For some reason it's always full of wrong 'uns from north of the border.

I walked through Blackpool with a Hibs shirt on, roughly three weeks after Hibs had done rangers over in the Scottish Cup, and quietly walking street minding my own business, I met with a torrent of abuse off a fat tattooed weegie Hun.

Horrible set of bastards that lot, they attacked a charity worker in Sheffield just for wearing green when they played The Pigs in a friendly last season.

That’s odd. He once told me Christian Nade did the stinkiest poo ever.

I’ve seen a bloke in Laganas, Zante wearing a 16-17 promotion winning t-shirt today. I’ve given him a cheery “na na na na he’s a Blade and he’s a Blade”

Not seen many other Blades so far as it seems to be mainly full of foreigners.

That may be because it's "foreign"?

You're the bloody foreigner.

Peraste kala
 
Talking of Blackpool - I was once there and had a drive down to Fleetwood. I saw this guy leaning against the bar in the boozer and thought blimey he looks a bit like Colin Hendry. (The ex Scotland captain who Gazza kicked the ball over and made him end up on his backside.)

A quick google search found that he lived in that area and he’d recently got done for beating his ex-wife up. No wonder he was in the pub. I was going to speak to him but couldn’t think of anything nice to say...
 
I generally say 'Up the Blades' to people wearing Blades stuff at work, and just out and about sometimes. About a quarter just completely blank me or give me a disgusted look.
 

Just got back from Turkey.

Only blades shirts spotted were mine.
No pig shirts at all.
And bumped into Jack O'Connells dad out there. Nice fellow had a good chat with him about how his son is magic.
