BU/SU Pub love-in

[AlienWoodward]

Typical of anything United ,the drink didn't always flow as it should have done today.
The Bu/Su love-in were missing some heavyweights from their line up.
Amongst the most noticable absentees were Lenners (depression),Sitwell (who got lost on the way due to a faulty sat nav) and Curtis who was out with an injured alloy.
The Bu/Su love-in got off to a quick start with Paris Blade hitting the bar in the first minute,in fact he hit it twice in the first 45 minutes. Born On Shoreham Street played some neat little chips (smothered in ketchup) and then he hit the bar before Jon Bon nipped in and put two (pints) away in quick succession.
Paris Blade went off (to another pub) and was replaced by the youngster Deadly D'Jaffo who to be honest struggled to keep up with the pace of the seasoned campaigners like Alien Woodward who put 3 away in a whirlwind 30 minute spell.
With Just a few minutes left Grumpy Blade turned on his heels and left everyone for dead as he hit the bar and then put another away while his drinking mates could only stand on as bystanders.

Marks out of Ten

8/10 Paris Blade :- set off eager and tried his best but morally bankrupt he soon left his teamates in the lurch for the lure of the bigger field.(The sportsman)

8/10 Blade On Shoreham Street:- not got the staying power of his younger days and still a one trick pony with his fancy chips.

6/10 York Blade :- Frustrating day from him he never seemed to get into the swing of things.

1/10 Deadly D'Jaffo :- Failed to turn up in the first half and was almost invisible in the second

2/10 Huddersfield Blade :- spent to much time trying to chatting to Deadly and not enough drinking

3/10 Sane Blade :- This guy swanned around all the time with a half in his hand.But was his glass half full or empty, we will never know.

9/10 Jon Bon :- This guy is an inspiration to all drink fuelled people everywhere. What he lacks in height he made up for in girth putting away anything that came near him.

9/10 Grumpy Blade :- What can you say about this guy (believe me nothing nasty as he is fucking huge) The way he left everyone for dead in the last minute to get another drink will live with me forever.

100/10 Alien Woodward :- Possibly some of you may feel i've been a bit harsh on the marking here.He is the bloke next door who you want your daughter or even your wife to date. All the guys want to be his best friend and who can blame them, A real crowd favourite.

Subs

0/10 Duncan Disorderly :- Severley hampered by damaged joists.

-51/10 Pinchy :- All huff and puff ... a poor mans Monty

Rematch in about a months time will notify all who fancy a game

:thumbup:

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL !!

 

[Jon Bon]

That Jaipur's strong stuff n'all. Two pints of that is easily worth four pints of owt else. It's a good job Ahwin wasn't there, half a pint of that and he starts holding his breath and trying to grab folk as they walk past...

I think we should be moving on from the BU thing or is it just me?

I could go back to the pre-internet days when I talked to Blades "online".

I won't bore the regulars!

A bit insecure aren't we? The meet was open to anyone of any denomination. We could have met you at the Golden Lion but the beer's shite in there. For fucks sake, it's only a bit of fun, lighten up man!

It really wasn't a BU thing at all. I put an open invite on here to all to attend. You yourself said you wouldn't be coming.I had no problem with that at all.
The golden Lion is off track for a lot of people. It was actually really good to put faces to names.
Even if those faces weren't as well won as mine

Would have attended, but made the fatal mistake of getting off the train at Sheffield when clearly the nearer one would have been Barnsley.:rant::gallop:

We left ages ago we went to the xmas panto.
You didn't miss anything Bobby Knutt wasn't there. We had to make do with yelling at Jon Bon "Hey up Nutty"

 

[sitwell]

Damn ,I could have put him on my mobile ,along with his manwife.

 

[Jon Bon]

I hope you're refering to Knutty there pal...!

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Good meet up and deffo worth doing again at the same venue

Thanks for organising, AW

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Ere ere

Nice to put faces to names, agree worth doing again only next time I'll get there earlier and we can then sup seriously.

Insecure......at my age I think not.

I'm pretty light!

When you look at the angst on here do you really think i need to lighten up comparing with the rest?

 

[Micalijo]

Yes, I do!

You have preached before on here to me about a lack of understanding and the problems caused by argumentative, pointless posts and yet you come out with that rubbish about BU and regulars from a very simple invitation for a few beers. Well done.

 

[shorehamview]

I know there is perceived to be the Ex-BU/Old School Forum thang, but it just might be as simple as to which pub is most convenient. I go to the Lion partly because it's on my way to the Lane from where I live. I used to go in the Cremorne, and also other on London Road, for the sole reason that the bus from Woodseats stops nearby. I didn't go to a different pub because it's not on my way - as simple as that. I like the crack that we have before the match, and I doubt that I'll change pre-match pub.

Similarly, the members listed by AlienWoodward might have gone to their choice of pub for the ease of it, and nothing more. If they had a good time and want to tell us all, then why not? If they want to show their faces at the Lion one day, then we'll welcome them. If they don't, then fair enough. It's up to them.

 

[Casper]

T'tinterweb meet ups with other anonymous keyboard footy experts???

Whatever happened to the days when many people didnt even have a house phone (or was that just me and my mates lol) and the Hole in the Road Fish Tank, or Threpenny bit kiosk at Pond Street were packed with suited and booted real mates eagerly waiting for each other.

Oh them wor t'days!

 

[Jon Bon]

I dare say I'll bobby along for a chin-wag before a game soon. Like I said, I'm only really 'here for the beer' as they say and it's not good at all at the GL BUT I can always have a glass of pop and a bag of crisps...


Now if the Golden Lion served Fullers 'Golden Pride' (8.3%), it would be a different matter. Sod the game etc....

 

[raul]

I'd agree that the main difficulty in getting things like this moving is that everyone already has a matchday routine/pub of choice they're perfectly happy with.

Obviously, all those who don't choose the Rutland (half a dozen real ales, several lagers, outstanding food, 5 mins from station and 5 mins to ground) are wrong, but there you go....

 

[shorehamview]

It's often easier to arrange meets fo away matches than it is for home ones. For home matches everyone is stuck in their ways, and the temptation of half a dozen real ales loses it's gloss when you have to drive. Still, there's plenty of season left.

Fullers Golden Pride is a great beer, and for one that strong actually slips down far too easily! Being very pedantic, it's 8.5% not 8.3%!

Yeah but if everyone chose the Rutland, it'd be horrible.
