Funny moments watching the Blades

[Silent Blade]

Matthews..for some reason,I'd thought it was later,so didn't put his name in the post...
I'd got confused with our 2-0 win there in the 80's.
Charlie Magri won a world title fight the same night,Brazil was one of our scorers.

Think Steve Bruce was playing for Gills that night

A Boxer dog running on the pitch in the 2-2 draw at Coventry in March 1975 and the ref stopped play as the dog played with the match ball which brought loud cheers from the crowd. A policeman or a steward eventually caught the dog and was booed as he was carrying the dog off the pitch. Have seen a dog or two invading the pitch at Bramall Lane in the early 1970s as it was easy for them to slip through a gate near the cricket pavilion

name of the dog Silent?

All Chris Woods performances against us .. England's number 1

He scored again in the next home game v Southampton and pointed at the hoarding in his celebration, mocking himself.

Remember that and was going to post same , bugger .

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

On a personal level against Birmingham late nineties, we were two nil down and struggling. Two catering staff in white hats and coats were walking around the pitch and my mate said "that's all we need, a pair of fuckin cheese experts!"

Stockport away when we caused Andy Dibble a mental breakdown.

It all started with him doing his "cuddle the post" routine, then got a bit closer to the knuckle about his weight and physique.

He then had a moment of madness and gave away a penalty and got sent off. What was worse for him was he was going to have to take his top off to give to the outfield player going in goal. Of course, he got nothing but support in his discomfort from the Blades behind his goal.

I genuinely thought he was going to cry.

Cruel, but some very funny insults thrown at him in the half hour that led up to it.

One of my funniest moments was probably only funny for me.

I was sat near the front of BL Lower for a midweek match, and Kabba was retrieving the ball from in front of the hoardings right in front of me, I just shouted "Alreyt, Steve?" and he looked up and gave me the thumbs up haha

It was pretty hilarious to me.

Bob Booker goal against Southampton. A yard out with an open goal, he fell over and landed on his arse. The Southampton players were so stunned at what they had seen, they stood and stared dumbfounded, allowing Booker to stand up again and toe poke it in.

 

[SRBlade]

freddie ljungberg running the entire length of the bramall lane pitch to get involved if a fracas that was occurring with paddy Kenny, arriving at the scene and promptly slipping arse over tit, to the sound of 20,000 blades pissing themselves with laughter.

I vaguely remember that, which game was it? Under Robson or Warnock?

A miserable midweek game at Barnsley on 25th March, 1980. It was 0-0 and me and two mates went. We were stood on the visitors end (left-hand goal as you look on TV) and it was basically a slag-heap with cinders on top and the occasional railway sleeper driven in to provide 'steps'. You wouldn't get away with it nowadays. Well, maybe Wendy would. So dire was the game that the 3 of us stood at the very back watching a continuous queue for the hot-dog stall. 'He must be making a fucking fortune!' we mused.

Anyway, the full-time whistle (mercifully) went and several thousand Blades (The crowd was >19k) poured out. Peering over the heads of the crowd, there seemed to be a bit of a commotion up ahead, and the crowd seemed a bit higher than the rest. When we got there, this fortune-making hot-dog stall was no more that a pile of broken timber - it had be totally trashed.

Not Blades-related but still appealing to my destructive nature, I went to the 1976 FA Cup Semi-Final at Hillsborough - Man. U. v Derby. Didn't have a ticket, but that was often an optional extra in those days. 20k ticketless Man. U. fans turned up and created havoc all afternoon. About an hour before KO, I was near the players' entrance at the back of the south stand (where the gobby pig fans had a go at our team last Sunday but wasn't mentioned in the Star...). Simliar to the Barnsley story, a section of the crowd were about 2 feet higher than the rest and seemed be slowly rising and falling. When the crowd subsided (aided by several police dogs) about twenty Man. U. fans had been using a black limousine as their 'platform' to get a better look. Every panel was bent to fuck and the occupant? Sir. Matt Busby.

With about 30 minutes of the game left, and fed up with the carnage outside the ground, the cops. opened the gates to an already-crammed kop and several thousand more crowded in. 1989 had been coming for a long time at Hillsborough.

The 1-1 draw at Plough Lane (1991?) when it 'appeared' that some of the players from each side had an 'interest' in a United win. We were losing 1-0 when midway through the 2nd half a Jones' long throw is punched away in the box by John Fashanu. Penalty converted. Ten minutes remaining; repeat scenario, long throw, volleyball defending...but no penalty. Now we've all seen the attacking team run after the referee pleading for a penalty but this was and remains the only time, I've seen the defending team do likewise! In fact, Fashanu was at the front of the queue. The game ended 1-1 and Jones and Fashanu looked aggrieved to say the least. The tragedy is that this eventually proved our undoing when Wimbledon threw away a 2-0 lead against Everton, when Hans Segers let three soft goals in (allegedly) and we lost at Stamford Bridge.

Late 70's and Steve Finniston was having his first game back after having treatment to his LOWER BACK which had been widely reported as intensive physiotherapy.

He started badly and then missed an easy chance which prompted the bloke next to me to shout out

" When that were 'avin them massages Finniston, did he ave both his 'ands on thi fuckin shoulder blades ?"

Huge roar of laughter from our part of the ground.

 

[snootyfenooty]

In the 60's whenever Tony Wagstaff did something stupid, which was quite often, the crowd used to give him a rendition of the "Batman" theme music. To this day I never understood the reason for this but it was as funny as fuck at the time.

Marlon Harewood knocking the linesman out as part of his celebration after scoring against us at the City Ground. Went to punch the air in celebration, didn't realise how close the lino was....KO.

Think it was Cardiff back in the midst of time, some bloke decided he couldn't wait to get to the loo so dropped his kecks and shit all over the lower tier of fans...went down Well if i remember right. Might not have been Cardiff, my memory is a silly thing
