Last Saturday (against Rochdale) I heard some amusing shouts from the South Stand (in old money) berating our fine Mr Adkins for not making a further substitution a few moments after Reed had come on for Coutts. The "expert" in question, shouting these complaints, was heard by many, including our man Nigel who responded good naturedly that he had already used all of the 3 substitutes allowed and that he couldn't make any more substitutions even if he wanted to. This started numerous other calls for substitutions mocking the original "expert".

This incident left me wondering whether fans should be either breathalysed or given tests on the basic rules of football before being admitted into the ground. Perhaps this should be extended to match officials too.

Have others heard similar nonsensical shouts shouted from the stands?

Once stood up shouting abuse at the lineman for not flagging an obvious off side only to be told by the bloke in front that it was a goal kick.

I thought it was from a free kick for off side.

Sheepish or what.
 
Offside shouts from goal kicks always amuse me. It's amazing how many times over the years people have gotten irate about the lack of offside only to be told by myself that it's not possible from a goal kick.
 
My favourite is when people yell "stronger!!" after our player loses a physical tussle. Makes me want to yell "taller!!" whenever someone loses a header. Or perhaps a nice and generic, but equally constructive "better at football!!" as we lose another third division match.

Only done it once
 
The one that always bemuses me is when a fan near me shouts "Chin him........". It's like yeah we are 1-0 down and chasing the game! Makes perfect sense to have a player sent of and to go down to ten men doesn't it.
 
The sarcastic "keeper wants it" really pisses me off
 
"Shooooot"- When someone recieves the ball in the middle of the park. Not remotely fucking funny.

"Fuck off to Hillsborough then"- When somebody else suggests that we aren't playing very well.

"They're due a win today"- Doesn't work like that, football does not follow a linear sequential pattern. A football team is not 'due' a win after a poor run of form any more that United are due an English league title or a European Cup.
 
My very earliest memory as a United fans was sitting on the kop and literally 3 seconds after the kick off someone shouting "Gannon you're fucking shit"
 
"You can tell he's a proper player that Coutts"
 
This little one from Saturday from people behind me."Ooh look Campbell-Rice is coming on. Maybe this is what I'd do. Take Baxter off and put Adams in the middle of midfield with sub on the wing." Then when it changed to young Louis being the sub. "Ooh, looks like it is Baxter coming off, need to bolster the midfield."
 



Always amused by the Sheffieldism with the overuse of the word "that".

For example that's a foul that!

No need for the second that but used by many, only heard it in Sheffield.

Self embarrassment on a couple of occasions when I've leapt to my feet shouting PENALTY only to realise I'm the only fecker in the ground doing it, sits down straightening clothing and looking for something on the floor :oops:
 
There's one bloke who sits behind me on the south stand, he doesn't cheer or say anything apart from the odd shout of RUBBISH. You look round and he's expressionless.

I think you must be talking about the bloke next to my family's seats. When we score he'll say something like "about fuckin time". If we scored a second he'd shout something like "adkins, I told you JCR should have been in earlier". And if we scored a third he'd probably say "why can't we do this every week United? Rubbish".
Saw him smile once. Think he'd just farted
 
There's a bloke on the Kop who just shouts "forward" "forward" every time we get possession..

Sometimes with the words "pass it forward" he does it the whole match..
 
The old chap who sat next to us for years always reacted to anybody shouting "shoot!" followed by a player's name eg "shoot Deano", by saying "shoot the lot on 'em".

He'd then look round for appreciation of his quip, with a big grin on his face, after all we hadn't heard it since the last home game :-)

And if ever there was scuffle between two players, we knew that "chuck a bucket of watter o'er 'em" would be along very soon :-)
 
Kick ten bells out of em Blades, come on. Now I know it's out of order but it always brings a grin to my face when as soon as he says it one of the opposition players more or less hacks one of ours down and we normally don't even get a free kick for it :)
 
The same two behind us on Saturday trotted the following one out as they do every game. "Get the ball forwards, pass it forwards, not backwards. Look we've gone backwards again having been in their half, they've come back to our defenders." About 5 passes later the ball is in the net much to my amusement. Of course there is one player they blame for everything. It would have been John Gannon in the olden days, then Quinn and now Baxter.
 
When the opposition fans get excited about a missed chance, I (along with many others) will inevitably say :
"Sit daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahnn!"
 



There's a bloke who's catchphrase is " As ever, I must expose the uncomfortable truth, that elsewhere proper football is the only way to be successful, but here, in neaderthal S2, where Dinosaur Dave, Semi-Pro and the Maestro reign supreme...."

I don't sit near him anymore and funnily enough, neither does anyone else....
