How ill....

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Would you have to be to not go tonight? I've got sinusitis (really painful, feel like shit) and the missus and me are going away for the weekend. She's apoplectic that I'm still going tonight.

Apart from hospitalisation, what's the cut off line?

Hello D Brooks... ;o)

I gave my Derby ticket away to my brother because I had Flu; and I mean real flu the type were you struggle to get out of bed, and seriously consider pissing the bed because getting up to go to the toilet is so bad. Never before and hopefully never again.

That was the line for me.

Yep that's a bummer when you get the proper one

I missed the Leeds game in 2003 when Jags scored because I had a strangulated testicle.

Just reading that made me feel sick. I had a vasectomy reversal back in the late 80's and just thinking of that makes me wanna puke.

You have to go Carlton. According to Roy's "View from ", the best team in Europe are visiting the Lane tonight.

A team full of stars playing football from the gods and totally invincible, the Blades will be mere cannon fodder for the mighty Aston Villa and their thousands and thousands of loyal, dedicated and fickle supporters.
Miss the chance to see Jack Grealish and that puzzle of a haircut? Get ready and get yersen off to the match.

the only acceptable excuse for not turning up is the liberal use of embalming fluid

The cut off line has to be her or the blades know any good divorce lawyer's

Bunch of fecking lightweights. Make sure you button your cardies all the way up to the top when you wrap up warm now

Would have shat myself on the ... on the tram,

After all the horror stories about getting to Pigsville and people being trapped on the tram for an hour and then just visualising somebody on said tram shitting themselves. I'm sorry but I'm laughing uncontrollably at the visualisation of this with coppers smashing their way out using truncheons, people honking at the smell and so on..!

Would have had to have found the seat that lifts up with sand in it. Privacy would have been an issue though haha

I'm not ill but I'm staying in to watch it on telly. 'Ooh good, it's on Sky. That'll save me 30 odd quid...'

Exactly the type of curiosity the Forum was intended for.

I doubt there's a hierarchy where being unwell is concerned, so each to their own. The last 4-5 years have seen a gradual, then sudden deterioration in my mobility. What this has meant is that I'm susceptible to infection if I cut or graze my legs. So I avoid large crowds to give myself the best chance of not suffering a bout of cellulitis (for those not familiar, it's a type of blood infection that can knock the stuffing out of me for up to 3-6 months). All it would take is a nudge or unintentional push to bring this situation to a head, then bingo, off I go to the Northern General for 3000 mg a day of antibiotics for about 6-8 weeks. So I'd be far from a happy bunny and I'd regret not taking more care of myself.

For the moment I'm more or less house-bound. It's frustrating, predictable, and at times depressing. I've become addicted to Amazon, I purchase far more than I should really buy, but it's a nonsense really as my love affair with music, film, and books never really goes away, so I've no one to blame other than myself.

I love going to a home game, especially on a Tuesday night. There's something about approaching the ground, watching the crowd swell (the days when we attracted around 13K at a home game are well and truly gone), and knowing that we're in the capable hands of a great management team. This is probably the best United squad I've seen since I began supporting the Blades in the late 1960's, and I think it's fair to say that as long as Wilder is given support that we'll progress in ways that we're unaccustomed to. It's a great time to be a Blade, long may it continue. UTMB!

Apologies if you already know this as I don't want to sound patronising but if you can't get Sky (like me as I live in a flat and I'm not allowed a dish) you can get daily or weekly passes via Now TV. It streams it through your computer. It's not perfect but it's much better than the dodgy illegal ones. I hook up my TV with an HDMI lead so I can watch it on a big screen. £6.99 for tonight or you can get a week pass for £11.99 and get the Wolves game too.

Made it. Fight the power

 

[SwissBlade]

I once had a slight headache coming on the day before a game, gave the game a miss.

My mate James used to play for the Blades, got a cold and next thing he was at Stoke.

Last time I missed a home game through illness was the cup QF v Charlton. I had bloody chicken pox

Funny you should mention it BB. My other half (she lives in Grantham) has tried to persuade me for ages. She's said everything you mentioned and I will take her and your advice soon. At that price it's too good a deal not to take advantage of, thanks for the mention.
