Evans other shot(s)

[SwissBlade]

Quite rightly, Evans is getting loads of credit for his two excellent goals.

However, someone must’ve stolen his shooting boots at halftime as second half he was like a young Monty smashing everything way over or wide.

There was one though that deserves special praise. He smashed it over, but it rose higher than a simmo penalty. We looked behind us and saw it was around or perhaps beyond row LL on the kop.

Can anyone confirm which row it ended up on and if there has been a shot which has hit the back wall of the kop?

Think someone on here said it ended up about 5 rows behind them and they were on row CC

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Well I headed it on its way back (ok , it hit me on the head) and I sit on row X.
Thinking about it, I've been following the Blades for over 50 years and that's the first time I've touched the matchball during a game. Cheers Lee!

Think I caught one at the back of the south stand

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

Someone hits a wanktastic shot towards Retford every week when we've got a great chance to score.

It's generally Baldock but I'll let him off cos he played well last night.

I caught Simmonsens penalty kick when I went to the moon

Wasn't quite as far off target as we thought then!

I’ve also been going for over 40 years and the home game against Brentford was the first time the ball was shot directly towards me.
I was just looking down at my phone for a few seconds and one of the Brentford players blasted the ball at goal, it skimmed the cross bar and smack...it hit me full on at the side of my head close to the temple.

I had a thumping head ache for about 2 minutes ha ha.
If I’d have been concentrating on the match I would have tried to catch it. Taught me a lesson not to check the latest football scores on the phone. Suppose I’ll need to wait another 40 years to get another chance to touch the ball.

 

[tomtheblade]

Constantly find myself surprised with how often professional footballers paid £1000s a week somehow forget the basics of leaning forward over the ball when shooting. Lean back and whoosh. Ball goes flying over the bar.

I'm sure Darren would oblige

 

[8lade]

Didn't Chico Hamilton regularly hit the old clock with his shots?

 

[Jehovah]

It hit me and I was at home.

 

[cooperblade]

I returned a Glenn Cockerill shot from BLUT in a 3-1 win over Port Vale. Think that was my last touch of the ball at BDBTL.

 

[TTMeysh]

I caught a Martin Pike cross half way up the Kop. 'Pikey's Boots' was my brother's nickname for Monty at one point.

 

[Bladesman]

I won't knock him too much for going for those shots still in the second half as he was eager to get that 3rd goal.

No one else in midfield has the bollocks to shoot from the edge of the box often enough.

I will agree that he did leave his shooting boots in the dressing room at half time.

Fantastic Football Fact No. 39a

Incredibly the number of wild shots in our matches coincides exactly with the number of times our daft fans shout ‘shoot’ when a player is in no position to do so effectively.

Funny old game.

I think having scored 2 decent goals last night it might be what's know as "irony". Every time Evans got the ball "shoot" was shouted, poor humour, but humour nonetheless.

I chuckled at that. I think after his second goal, the next time he touched the ball he was nearer the half way line than the opposition goal, but a few wags shouted "shoot!"

It reached Row II (that's eye-eye, not the second row)!, according to my mate, who claims to have punched it. It was certainly about that high.

Which just goes to show how thick and easily influenced the modern day average footballer is

Didn't think Chico was that bad, how did he manage to hit the clock on the cricket pavilion.

before his time (I think) i was thinking of the one behind the away end.

In that case and quite often when someone has scored a good one, yes. I agree, but that’s pretty obvious when it happens.

I’m talking about the ignorant, screaming morons who never fail to demonstrate their stupidity when a player is anywhere within forty yards of goal, stationary, off balance, without momentum and/or surrounded by a wall of defenders. There are plenty of them. They are also the first to moan and shout abuse when said player inevitably hits a shot that wouldn’t go in three sets.

Morons, as I say. Usually teens and twenties brought up on Junior Computer Manager or hoof-loving Bassett Old Boys.

am going to Retford tomorrow, I'll bring the balls back.

Maybe, but also how incredibly thick are many of our fans. This, of course, is but one way of many in which they routinely disclose their ignorance.

Punditry, the Bladesfans’ Way.

Sorry 8lade I was getting Chico mixed up with Willie Hamilton a cultured Scottish inside forward from the 50/60's, when the cricket pavilion was still there.

As he invariably does. He is an excellent footballer.

So what did you think when they were dooing shoot for Baldock. I had an fit anyone but Baldock

Didn’t hear that on ifollow but for those people yes I agree.

I admire the ability to steer the post towards Dave Bassett as well, top class.

Didn’t hear it but he can’t shoot so it’s a daft thing to shout.
