Daft things heard from Supporters

[nowtfancy]

I remember getting in taxi when we'd just signed ade akinbiyi, and talking to the taxi driver who said "that's it I've finished with em, I've waited all my life for a record signing and that wanker warnock brings in that bag of shite, well I'm not going any more"
No idea if he went any more, but kind of hope he didn't.

 

[Swanseablade]

One from the kop that made me smile was aimed at Paul Beesley after he'd repeated launched several long balls into John Street, someone screamed:
"For fucks sake Bees put your boots on t'reight feet"

 

[Hodgyman]

Did you do this for that foul/assault on Alcock ;-)

As one thread - and another post - pointed out it was in the penalty area.

PENALTY!

Guilty as charged but it was on here rather than at the lane

 

[Bartleby]

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

that reyt there

 

[Bartleby]

There's a bloke on the Kop who just shouts "forward" "forward" every time we get possession..

there's one near us that does excatly the same

 

[Bartleby]

No, we are in the South Stand. When we moved from the Kop I thought I had left behind the whinging but no.

have moved the other way, you get all the whinging but less of the buzz on the South Stand.

 

[mattbianco1]

Have others heard similar nonsensical shouts shouted from the stands?

"Get it changed Adkinson" was heard at Burton away.

Edit....

Beat me too it

Someone shouted "get him off Atkinson" at Burton!

 

[mattbianco1]

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.

Reading employed this tactic in the Premiership under Steve Coppell. Everybody was abusing the referee at every goal kick throughout the game at Bramall Lane

 

[metalblade]

I had to laugh a while back I heard some twat say McCabe was the best owner/chairman we have ever had

that reyt there

Er, errr, d'art reyt an'all!

Who was better than him, then?

 

[lawlessdan]

First game of this season the miserable sod in front of me offered his views on the Tevez poster.

"It's disgraceful, it's as bad as having a poster of a plane crashing outside Old Trafford"

 

[Bartleby]

Er, errr, d'art reyt an'all!

I'm posh nar, used to be a deedar but now I'm a theethar

 

[metalblade]

Brearley by miles

Brearley by miles

He did well as a chairman until his problems in India but was over the top when he offered a 10 year contract to Porterfield which gave him problems later on. We were lucky that Bassett had just lost his job at Watford when McEwan left us, we were lucky Dooley persuaded Bassett to stay when he offered to resign in May 1988. Fans were frustrated with Brealey between 1993 and until McDonald's takeover (I had more patient than most of the fans and didnt protest with the BIFA). I thought McCabe was very good between 1999 until he appointed Robson. I can understand you thinking that Brealey was better than McCabe in some ways but saying he was "better by miles" is a gross exaggeration.

One thing you can say about Brearley he would not allow us to have more than the one season in division four and nor would he allow us to be more than two seasons in the division that we are now playing our fifth season in, and with no guarantee of us getting out at the end of it.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

I'm sure I once heard a Blade say "perhaps they're starting to show some ambition"

 

[Woodwardfan]

It's prevalent at the moment and has been for over a year - if United are not winning, maybe three or four imbeciles shout "forward,forward" every single time the ball is played sideways or backwards. They quieten if we go one up but chime up again as soon as we are level again.

Sometimes I think certain fans express themselves far more in adversity than they do when things are going well. Almost as though they are hoping for adversity so they can have a really good moan and shout.

Well, Hull City had 30 minutes left to score their 3rd goal against Burnley in 1984. Had they succeeded then it would have been a 3rd season in the 3rd division. Brealey had the luck while McCabe was unlucky that the jury at Caernarfon decided that they wanted to make their decision before the weekend......

I've always preferred to take out my frustration on the opposition and ref, rather than our own players. When they play badly I just tend to shake my head and mutter 'ffs'.

Remember Brealey's ambitious plans for the Lane...a 3 tiered Kop with a running track around the pitch...I'm glad they got rejected now..it would have ruined the ground.

 

[SRBlade]

I recall one particular incident about 5 years back, opposition player knocked the ball back to his keeper with his knee, about 500 screamed that it was a back pass, with a smaller amount of blades politely telling those around them that it's not a back pass is passed with the knee.

 

[Hodgyman]

The upcoming game against Oldham away reminded me of a previous encounter with them there at the start of the season. All of the players were well tanned after their summer break to exotic climes except Oldham's keeper who was ginger and very light skinned.

One of our supporters behind his goal shouted " Oo, hasn't their goally got white legs" in a Kenneth Williams type voice that loud, just about every one of our fans and the goally himself heard.
The keeper then suffered 45 minutes of taunts and abuse about not earning enough to go on a decent holiday etc. The poor lad didn't have the best of days and had a poor game in our victory.

 

[blade too long]

people saying "we wont go up"
like its set in stone

 

[raul]

Yes, damn them and their 100% success rate so far......

Whilst you can't give up on the club yet, its safe to say this current team isnt good enough. Too many of its constituent parts have been playing and losing at this level for far too long now.

And so much for what was intended to be a light-hearted, negative free thread!

We're lucky we have you getting back to the OP then.

 

[The Boy Wonder]

An Old fella who I used to sit next to in South Stand in mid 80's used to always shout at every home game
"Earn ya corn"! at Kevin Arnott and Keith Edwards,often accompanied by a muttered "Lazy bastard"..

The game in the Prem? That's the game that sprung (sprang?) to my mind too when i read the post. Hundreds in the Kop were going mental at the lino. Tactic worked tho, Kevin Doyle and Lita won everything in the air against Morgs and Bromby that day, despite both being a foot shorter. They battered us first half and were one of the best teams i saw at the Lane that season.

 

[SB_90]

dont know if its same for others but half enjoying this thread immensely & half dreading reading myself on here from a past game
