Revenge

[oldblade]

It bothers those cunts just as much when you mention the fact that we've been the dominant side in the derbies since 1951.

I know which burden I'd rather bear.

It seems football history started and ended on Boxing Day 1979. September 1951 never gets a mention!

As bad a result as 4-0 is, and clearly it was embarrassing (for those old enough to remember) - you get the odd 4-0 in any season, putting 7 past your near rivals is something special however. That will always be the most humiliating defeat, even if they did get 3 in return (again wasn't alive at the time but that hasn't stopped many pigs going on about 79)

Jeff Johnson was given the task to mark Sabella

One of the reasons I never fawned over Sabella like many have done since. He took a robust tackle early on and completely neshed it for the rest of the game. The major reason we got hammered that day. Unforgiveable.

I’m too young but my pop remembers it more like them “kicking the shit out of Sabella” (and others) - to the point where he couldn’t continue(?).

I’m sorry to say that I’m not sure the next game can really avenge Boxing Day as the climate isn’t right. Pigs are down in the dumps, managerless, season all but over and we’re clear favourites - also there’s no poetic element to the date. They will always have Boxing Day.

But we’ve certainly shit on “the gap”, and they’ll have to wait a long time before they witness an equivalent to Duffy’s goal. With that goal and the game as a whole we forcibly removed two of their favourite songs and rammed them sideways up their bollocks.

I wasn't born.

Bloke at work was fondly reminiscing about it a few months back. He's 37.

 

[blade too long]

We beat them 7-3 in 51 which is just as relevant as a div 3 game in 79.
Wednesday have won once at bramall lane since man landed on the moon 50 years ago
AND only done 1 double over us since the Kaiser started world war 1 nearly 100 years ago
Wednesday have never scored 4 at our ground

That's revenge enough

Sorry but that's not how it was. He took one early clog and spent the rest of the game hiding behind the referee. As Silent has said, Johnson was stuck up his arse for the game but Sabella didn't want to know and hardly had another touch.

 

[Blade56]

Boxing Day has been revenged. The desperate twats have dined out on that result for soooooo many years and have made utter twats of themselves with the 'massive' label they've given themselves to live up to. That coupled with the latest stone around their necks ie 'bouncing' (nice one Duffy) and an aging, underperforming squad worth next to nowt compared to the purchase price has put them back in their box. A win for us of any score will nail the lid down.

I was in the stand that day.

Fair enough - ancient history I suppose

Sabella was symptomatic of the whole team. The scoreline of 4-0 was nothing special, we've given a few and taken a few of these, massacres they are not. But we just capitulated that day and were humiliated. This is the bit we have to put right.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Nobody is going to stop singing the boxing day song so it'll live on. I feel for anyone who was there that day. The semi final still kills me.

There's no way they are going to roll over next Friday. Life isn't that good. But if by some divine intervention we did win by 4 or 5 goals then unless it gets into a song both clubs sing then it still won't be as famous.

 

[I should coco]

even if it is just Mrs Greasy that will have to somehow try and understand why I keep banging on about it to her for a few hours/days/weeks ......or months

"Tea's ready love. Now I've been thinking what we said about redecorating the lounge. I'm thinking a nice pastel green with new wallpaper on the fireplace wall. If you'd be a love and do that then it's fine if you want to go to your football game.

Who was it you were playing? Another Sheffield team was it? Did you say it is on a Wednesday?

Come on love, your tea's getting cold......"

Ive only heard it ring out once at BDTBL since the Bouncing Day massacre

 

[Koh Samui Blade]

Please Blades,stop singing this song.
Never really known why Blades sing it anyway?
It is no longer of any relevance to us.
Late September smashed it.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

..........and we will laugh forever more, because of Bouncing Day.

 

[Pinchy]

As a 14 year old I stood on the Leppings Lane end and saw the pigs put four past us without reply. I don't remember much about the actual game, but they deserved the win. 50k were there, some Blades were on their (open air) kop throughout the game, and their long haired winger, Terry Curran played a blinder. That was the humiliating Boxing Day massacre and I don't think we've truly got our revenge since. We've done the double over them, and they've done the double over us. We've won by two goals at their place, and they've won at ours. But no result has been as convincing or humbling as that 4-0.

Could we be on the brink of real revenge? I don't want to tempt fate, but if we win by a couple of goals on the 12th, that's squared Boxing Day in my opinion. We outclassed them at their place last year, and if that happens again at the Lane it's the perfect response to any taunts about the 4-0. In 1979 the second game at the Lane ended 1-1. If we beat them by four or more over two legs this team and Wilder will be Blades legends for decades to come.

The Bouncing Day Massacre was perfectly adequate revenge.

 

[Pinchy]

They'd still go on about 1979 even if we won 10-0.

And so do we. About time we stopped singing the ridiculous song that perpetuates the Bladey Inferiority Complex (or have the ingenuity to change a single word).

 

[I should coco]

(or have the ingenuity to change a single word).

But "We will fart for ever more" sounds much less threatening.

Sometimes I don't think you get this football rivalry thing.

They were humiliated on Bouncing day. We outclassed them and put four past them on their own ground, including two from Leon, the last person they wanted to score.

The nature of the victory and how it stunned them into abject silence outweighs ancient history by a long way. Unless, of course, you wallow in chronic Bladey Inferiority Complex, as far too many do.

I'd suggest they'f have been more upest if it had been Billy or Ched, but I get your general point.

"We're all Blades Inferiority Wankers at the Lane......At the Lane......"

 

[Pinchy]

Why not? It only takes a brain cell or two.

Oh.....

 

[Harry's Game]

Here we go. Billy big bollocks time..



I will take a one nil win now.

The pigs didn't capitulate on Bouncing day as we did on Boxing day. They score twice and briefly levelled things up for example. There is no comparison. There is still a score to settle. And besides, I fucking love revenge.

In my view, all the circumstances of Bouncing Day made it a bigger, more humiliating defeat. It’s certainly more topical and meaningful than a game nearly forty years ago with all the participants now in care homes...

Oh, that Bladey Inferiority Complex. Guess we’ll still be singing a silly song about a game we lost?

 

[DronnieBlade]

Sorry.

Unless we manage a victory by a clear 4 goals to Nil (so 4-0 / 5-0 but not 5-1) 1979 will never be truly avenged IMHO.

I’ve been waiting a while ............

You forgot to mention 'Live on Sky' for the nation and beyond to witness.

 

[super_pig]

In the North Stand as a shell shocked 16 year old. Life was never the same again.

Back to school in January and suddenly all the part time DirtyLeeds and Manyoo fans had brand new pig scarves.

Being a Blade was bloody hard work then and I've hated the grunters since then.

A nice little 5-0 would do me fine but it is a derby and I've learnt my lesson. We should NOT strut into this like the arrogant twats did in early September.

amen bro good post

Seeing how they evacuated the ground,leaving it to celebrating United fans was part of the humiliation,in a way,and because of what followed so quickly afterwards it was almost worth them equalising

 

[dublin 10 blade]

I was on the leppers lane, I remember throwing my program at that twat Curran as he did a knee slide towards us, think it was 11am ko, I walked from hackenthorpe as there were no buses, shit day all round.

We got a coach from Felbrig pub in Norfolk Park
My Da and brother both pigs , me a Blade
I didn’t get the coach back but walked the walk of shame all the fucking way home to S2

 

[dublin 10 blade]

I never take any of these games for granted ( I fucking hate them )
But every time we beat these waste of space fuckers , it’s special
I want to grind these tax dodging, mass murders into the ground
Massive my arse
We Almost Won At Wembley wankers

 

[Aston max]

Stopped at my mates on the wybourn night before, was walking through town about 10 and my mate got collared "daft Twat was on a warrant " and the bastards decided it was funny to take me in as well "as a known associate " The desk sergeant was a pig and knew me and my mate from policing the games at the Lane and kicked me out at 5 ,my mate got 6 months couple of days after
