you missed dickhaed by a car ffs lol

 

[TonyAgana]

Pikey nobber.

 

[Linz]

Certain members of this forum appear in his book... namely Mouse and me

The way it started out was that he was too skint to travel so hitchhiking was one way around that.

I think sometimes though the importance of not paying to get there overrides the importance of the match... there's no way I would have missed that match even if I'd have had to pay a fortune.

 

[rotherhamblade]

why doesnt he just go on the train but stand in toilet all daytis the best way

 

[whitefang]

haha, ye i agree with Linz, i would not of missed the game. I was in sheffy at 10am just wandering around near the lane. Cheers to the home fans i was chatting to in the pub beforehand whilst waiting for my mates to arrive with my ticket.

Kinell GB, 20-odd years to think up a cutting response and the best you can come up with is to repeat what he said?

I'm still in shock.

Take no notice mate. He just took a cheap shot from a safe distance.
Anyway listen, I'm dismantling an old steel shed later if you want to pop round and collect it.

I have many very fond memories of Greenwich Blade over the years. But my favourite is of him puffing and panting up the stand to his seat at Plymouth away one evening well after kick off, accompanied by a Sky cameraman who was capturing his discomfort in glorious technicolour.

Sky have lost that many sports that they have taken to stalking Greenwich Blade now?

What next?

Over to Tesco now, what’s going on Kammy?

Unbelievable Jeff. The entire stock of tinfoil has just been bought by cheeky blade, he’s got a right trolley full. Apparently Tommo is a genocidal Zionist.

Thanks Kammy, I’m sure that’s not the end of the batshit craziness today, unbelievable indeed…

Pikey nobber?

OK, Cheating Thumb if you prefer.

He was late on Friday and missed the first two goals

It's true, and that was on the National Express coach.

Actually, I did see Swansea's penalty from John Street, through this gap. I heard the United fans whistling, figuring it must be a penalty to the opposition, so took a peek through and saw Davies going the wrong way as the ball flashed past him.

You mean you lied Mrs Ken and I as we courteously stood up to let you by?

I’m shocked, tell you. Utterly shocked.

I now see where the Pikey bit came from

 

[Kenilworth]

By the way. He’s still a legend in my eyes.

At that point, I was still debating in my head if I could count seeing a goal from the street or not.

What was the programme you were on, Greenwich Blade?

I remember seeing it late on ITV one night and I ran upstairs to tell my Dad.

"That bloke who sits in front of us on the Kop is on TV".

Football's Hardest Away Days

I have been recognised from being on that by non-Unitedites on the following occasions:

• A bus-stop in Dalston Kingsland by a young kid who said, "You wuz on the telly hitchhiking to Plymouth, wunt you? It wuz well good." I was waiting for a bus back to work (Tesco King's Cross) after an emergency dental appointment.
• Outside the Shell Garage in Staines having being dropped off there moments before one Friday evening after one of those miracle lifts that takes you from Leicester Forest almost to your front door. As I waved my lift-giver off, another car pulled up next to me when the passenger wound down the window and said (motioning to the bewildered looking driver): "I told him to pull over because I said I'd seen you on telly hitchhiking to Plymouth."
• On the platform at Waterloo Station, when a scouse voice said, "Excuse me, mate...". I thought he was going to tell me I was walking the wrong way to the exit for the Northern Line, but instead he carried on, "You were on that Football's Hardest Away Days, weren't you? Hitchhiking to Plymouth! Did you really camp on that roundabout?" After I'd told him the devastating truth, he added, "By the way, the exit to the Underground is that way."
• Through the open window of a 216 bus in Ashford, Middlesex, that I'd just got off. This fading voice asked, "Were you that Sheffield United fan on Sky who hitched from Sunbury?" As it vanished along Convent Road, all I could do was give a thumbs-up to the back-end of the bus.

See. Leg end.

I was also once on ITV Sport, part of ITV Digital, before it went to the wall.

I think it got repeated on Sky 3 which was on Freeview.

Yep, it was on the lot when it comes to Sky. It's surely due a rerun!
