Anyone else cringe a little at this insult, personally got nothing against pigs as an animal, and therefore don't see it as an insult. I remember Tyler commenting on the intelligence of pigs and that is why he didn't eat pork.

They’re not as clever as they are delicious though. If they were that clever they’d be eating us, rather than the current situation.
 
I thought we were called pigs because our red and white stripes reminded people of bacon and the Wednesday were called pigs because Hillsborough was built on an old redundant piggery.

I cringe when I see some fucker who was born in the 90's, started watching us in the 90's, or is in their 90's posting bollocks. Fuck me, if you aren't in your 90's and fall in one of the other categories you need to smarten yer sen up. Football isn't all plastic stadiums full of plastic fans supping plastic beer out of plastic pots. Might be in your sanitized world but some of us grew up with Pig bastards giving us shit so you know what? We gave the fuckers some back. Sorry if that offends, in fact no I'm not. They're Pigs.

Hahaha 🤣
 
The rivalry is the only thing we’ve got going for us which is seen as pretty remarkable in U.K. football. They’re pigs, end of. Embrace the rivalry. Nothing cringe about it at all. If you want to feel intellectual about it refer to them as “those of a porcine persuasion” or something like that.

I've heard that explanation and it doesn't make much sense.

Otherwise surely at least one of the following
Sunderland, Stoke, Lincoln, Exeter, Brentford, Cheltenham, Brighton, Huddersfield etc would also be called "pigs"

Can't believe anyone would look at a red and white striped shirt and think of bacon....it's not a obvious match.
It's like looking at a green Plymouth shirt and calling them "the crocodiles" or "the turtles"
.
 
Pig ( Filthy animal) sounds a good description of the bastards to me. Funny story with Carl Asaba before our Derby at Hillsborough. He said loads of Blades approached him and said you've got to win at The Sty, he (Asaba) said it give them the motivation to go and win. If it's good enough for Asaba it's good for me 👍

Should we just call them "South Barnsley Cunts"??
 
I tend to never use it, not because I think its in anyway harsh or cruel, but because I think the fact that both sets of supporters use it makes us all look like twats.

So I take the high-road and call them the micro-penises instead.

Thought about that after a beer and I think he's right

What? They eat us with fried eggs, tomatoes and a slice of fried bread? ;)
 
I can't see how they could possibly complain. They're dead ringers...

Clank Towners call the local Stocksbridge Rugby Team the Pigs , With pride , Pig Farms were prominent on the opposite hill , the pigs would thrive on the pollution from the steelworks . Where no other annimal would survive . . Pre Bypass days . When Weds entered the pitch in the 30`s a sea of grunts was heard .
 
I thought they started calling us pigs because of "pig iron" which is a waste offshoot when making steel, because of how and why we were formed.

I also thought we returned the favour because Hillsborough was built on an old pig farm, but apparently that isn't true.

Whatever you call them, they're still shit 🤷
 
When I was at school in the early 90's I can recall the term pigs been used for either club., I actually thought it was something just in our school and used by teenagers because it sounded as much! I remember a Wednesday fan calling me a pig and I replied with something like "that's a bit boring now, can't you think of something else"?! Thinking that it'd had it's time! I was amazed to hear that it was indeed something used by adults! I don't think it's too bad an insult, I take it as banter and I would never say it to a Wednesday fan if I didn't know them.

Not particularly related to the above but I remember another time walking through town on a match day, just up from the Globe and at Hallam Uni. I'm wearing my Blades shirt and this guy says to me "you've got some s''t on your shirt by the way"? I thought he was joking until I realised he was serious and so I replied with "think of me laughing at you when United win today and Wednesday lose"! Amazingly it was a Sheffield double and so I had the last laugh and I had immense pleasure thinking of that Wednesday fan at 4.45 - as was the case back then!
