SUFC Academy U23 v Peterborough United (h)

All advertisments are hidden for logged in members, why not log in/register?

They're absolutely smashing it and they have been for ages, Eoin and Tez and the team have really changed the whole way the club interacts with the fans. Someone shared something on here contrasting our marketing from 2014 to now and it's insane how much it's come on.

Has both sides to it though doesn't it, as you often say yourself, all that youtube culture and extra videos has people (myself included!) screaming for all these kids to be rushed in to the first team!
Of course. Of course. But, you've nailed it there. You can absolutely celebrate the skills & commitment of the Academy players on the highlights & showreels. While having a sense of perspective as to how ready they are for the Championship.

re SUFC Website & confusion over games, dates, venues of Academy games. And, I'm breaking a confidence here, so be gentle. In the car park last night, before the game...

Academy Director Del Geary asked one of the Carrier Bag Firm whether he knew why the game had been switched to Sunday....🤓

Something I'm learning all the time! Thanks for the insight and information and the chat Phil, nice to know a little more!

(I still don't like Leeds though)

It doesn't get much more Sheffield United than that 🤷😂
 
The Blog from Sunday's game was deliberately delayed so that I could consider other teams Monday games in the PL Cup. It's a Carrier Bag Firm clarion call to begin salivating over grounds we might be able to visit in the knock outs. Disappointingly, I made it only one fella did the TRIPLE HEADER of SUFC Women's game at dinner, an afternoon sesh on the £2.60 a pint beer of the week all afts & the U23s in the evening. Have a read...

That's one thing on my bucket list that I doubt I will ever achieve now. I have managed a couple of double headers in my younger years, but always strived for a triple. Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to hope that if it ever were to happen, I'll still have the stamina in me to do it justice :p

A few years ago, I was able to do SUFC at Barnsley, a game at Shaw Lane Aquaforce, a game at Penistone Church and a pub beer festival...

 
Plenty turned out for the FA Youth Cup final in 2011 didn't they?

Great attendance from Leeds, I'd expect a decent showing if we publicised games and they had enough riding on them but probably nowhere near 8k.

Personally I'd struggle to make the U23's games even if they were 5 mins from my house, due to other commitments, I imagine a lot are the same.
 

Free tickets for season holders and members. My mate who works at Bellend Rd reckoned there were 6k+ freebies given away and then most of the sales were kids at £3. Not sure how accurate he is but that's what he's said!

Still a good showing, but a little perspective and all that.

(I just don't like people saying nice things about L**ds)
Sorry the only Proper club in that City play with an oval ball -

Both my double headers were on lads holidays back in the 80s. Can't remember their names ;-)

Apologies. I hadn't at first realised Snake was introducing casual sexism into the thread. If I'd have realised I wouldn't have interacted. Sorry.
 
I know people love to get offended these days but did he even mention a gender to be sexist about?
Are we really going down that road? Whatever gender was being referred to, I found the comments casually sexist. I was not offended in the slightest.

"I found that he is suggesting that one gender is superior to another. I don't know what genders he was referring to but I'm playing my card anyway"

EddieColquhoun Your emoji & gif game is strong and has me guessing. I've stewed on it for nearly 24 hours to try and construct the perfect comeback. And I'm struggling big time. But, I quite like being in the uncomfortable position of not knowing who is playing who in an exchange. So, I'm going to run with it "as if you're being serious".

Why do you mention gender? What's that got to do with this specific point I'm making about Casual Sexism?

(hint - think carefully...)
 
Isn't it just a slogan "give sexism the red card" not dissimilar to the "kick it out" mantra for racism?

Maybe I am overthinking or under thinking this thread.

I just came here to see who we play in the next round!

Maybe. Although my support goes through #HerGameToo. But, why the assumption that I was posting about gender inequalities or superiority?

"Your emoji & gif game is strong" genuinely made me laugh.
I assumed the poster was trying to interject some humour into the thread. This real or imaginary incident from 4 decades ago could have involved other willing participants of different genders and I thought you were a tad early with the card.

Clive Thomas' spotlight craving cost Everton - and it still infuriates 43  years on - David Prentice - Liverpool Echo


The fact that you replied to this at 4.36am does worry me.

New Zealand v South Africa from Christchurch on the tele bruv. Gonna be a lot happening on Day One. This is how we live...

(Triple Header - fnarr fnarr entendre euphemism for multiple sexual encounters with different partners - try a word play puzzle on "Casual Sexism" - see what happens...)

Spot on brother! As I don't do online "exchanges" (erm I'm crap on the keyboard - shit spelling, grammar and English in general, so I'd get hammered). I don't mind face to face though - that's the way we did things in the olden days. Not that Phil was being aggressive or owt lol.

Anyway I digress...... everyone to their own and all that..... going to obscure grounds to watch kids football etc, taking in a drinking trail of off the beaten track pubs is quite frankly not my scene. I have never read one of his blogs but have seen some of the pictures of beers on these threads. Again, not me.... give me a good pint of Stones or Smiths any day. Don't mind a nice blonde every now and again (doooooo not go there!!!!) but I'm afraid a lot of the real ale type beers I can't even get past my nose, never mind down the throat!

So I'll stick to having frivolous and certainly no offence meant banter in real life with lads (and get this........ lasses also!) where we are all of the same mindset and just want a giggle, sing song, nice curry and fall down. Oh and Blades win definitely helps!
 
I write parodies & whimsies on this forum, my own Blog & for fanzines. I pretend to be in a made up terrace firm that doesn't really exist. I like playing with words & meanings. Twisting them & turning a mirror on them as parodies. It entertains me & gives me ideas for my writing. So, once more, the initial "joke" was about multiple sexual partners, indeed it was about casual sex. I ran with that joke by referring to those who engage in casual sex as introducing casual sexism into the thread. Casual sex, casual sexism, do you see what I did there?
And, I just wondered how many culture warriors would want to earnestly chirp. I'm allowed bantz as well you know...
Or am I?

Of course you are allowed bantz me old. The thing is, bantz is only bantz if other people get what you are talking about. In your "Firm" and amongst your army of quaffer types who follow your blog, you are probably king dick! In my world, we haven't really got a clue wtf you are on about. (Edit: I suppose we have, we just don't give a fuck). No offence meant, it'd be a boring old world if we were all the same. UTB!

👍

Don't take offence if I give the "play puzzle" a miss, though.........

Of course. Let's be right. Mine wasn't a very good joke. Sort of odd trying to be edgy. But, I was trying for the play on words. It amused me. But, it fell on stoney ground. I'm worried that Snake still seems a bit grumpy even though I was making the same joke as him. Ah well.

I'm not grumpy at all mate. I just didn't get what you wrote. - hence no reply. I didn't take offence though - and I can see that no offence was intended either. I get through life having a laugh and a joke with my muckers. I don't do Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any of the other social media things. The things that I do and get up to, generally speaking, are solely shared with the people I did them with, or close friends/family who have the same mindset. I don't feel the need to broadcast myself to whole wide world. I come on here usually for information I suppose (hence I 'liked' your post informing that the SUFC U23s was live on Youtube).. Every now and again i'll see something and maee a casual reply. Life is far too short to get grumpy over a keyboard - especially when you read about the young Blade who died in the car accident last week - horrible stuff like that certainly puts all my perceived problems and issues to bed.

All the best to you, even if we are chalk and cheese 👍
