Daft things heard from Supporters

There was a little bloke with a Bobby Ball moustache who stood near us when I first started going (circa 1981).
His trademark was the incongruous use of the player's first names where everyone else used surnames.
So it would always be "Go on Michael" (Trusson), "Good effort Trenton" (Wiggan), "Well played Kevin" (Arnott)

Was it Curran? He looked like Bobby Ball.

Yes, he did look a bit like Terry (Curran) as well.

The group just behind me that decide every few games to become the official timekeepers for the 6 second rule...
"One, two, three, four, five, six... Come on ref that's a freekick" every time the opposition keeper picks it up. They never do it with our keeper though.

And the bloke just in front of them that always books opposition players when they foul our players, by showing an imaginary yellow card. This is normally followed by a tirade of arm waving rather than any subsequent warning to the player and noting down the number and name of said player.

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.

That might have been me - I've mentioned it a few times to people in the past
What did the other 6 dwarves think at the time?

Away game against Barnsley, probably early 90s ish. Stood on open terrace in rain.
Barnsley's goalkeeper was called Lee Butler I think.
During a really boring passage of play one bloke shouts really loud:
"Lee. I know your name Lee."
It went on
"Lee. I know where you live Lee."
Started getting very weird/funny.
"Lee. I know where your kids go to school Lee.
Others started chipping in
Lee Ive sha*gged your wife Lee, your Grandma your dog etc
Got really quite unsettling and properly wound the goalie up to our advantage.

I think the same thing happened at Stockport away the same season with Andy Dibble the victim who actually got sent off cause he got so wound up by it.

Genius really. Nutter is probably in the Loony bin now.

Guy sat in front of us had a go at Che blaming a piece of poor play on his drinking faux-pas. He did it about a minute before the 1st of his 2 goals, needless to say we reminded him once or twice.

Im going to drop myself in this, because it is a daft thing & 3 1/2 yrs later people around still wont let me forget it.

Around 20mins from KO in Stevenage play off semi I was quite pessimistic when I was talking to people around me & came out with the line "we need to score & forwards consists of Injured (Cresswell??) , Suspended (beattie) , Jailed (ched) & Useless (porter)" as we all know useless scored the winner & as I said they were quick to remind me

I was at that game. Dibble got really wound up, then, remarkably, D'Jaffo got to Dibble's poor clearance first and Dibble fouled him in the area.

I remember when we were 3-0 down to Stoke at home under Robson and captain marvel took a striker off to put on a midfielder. A guy behind me was fuming but obviously didn't really know what to say. In the end he shouted "well done Robson... You fucking. ...... .YOU'RE THICK"

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I remember back in the early 90s when Adrian Littlejohn played for us.
It was brass monkeys weather and he was wearing some weird leggings under his shorts during warm-up.
Someone said "Is that Littlejohn?" His mate said "Looks more like Longjohns."

Brilliant reminds me of 1 of my fav jokes from mock the week, when Fred mccauley talking about Scottish football fans

Scougall's crap. Get Scougall off. Scougall what's he ever done. Scoogall.

Scougall passes to done, who scores.



No mention of Scougall for the rest of the game.
