Moira Stuart announcing on the BBC news that the sixth biggest club in England had been bought by Sam or maybe it was Samantha? who was that sixth biggest club!

The 'mythology' of the piss filled bottles that were launched from the BLUT onto the heads of The Pigs standing below in the 2-2 Beattie free-kick game.

No evidence has yet been provided.
There never will be.

Portsmouth away 1998 - the linesman incident. Was working away in Portsmouth at the time and was at the game, didn't think we were going to get out alive !

In those days there was no roof on the away end, and as I left the ground Pompey fans were throwing bricks and stones up at us from the path directly behind the away end. It was mayhem. And at the exit, 25 yards away, were dozens of police, all just standing there doing nothing.

I remember listening to 606 on the train back to London. It was of course the topic of the day. Dozens of Pompey fans rang in, and David Mellor kept asking them if they'd actually seen the incident. None of them had, only noticing the aftermath. I had a great view on it and would have been more value on the radio (not that I'd want to speak to David Mellor).

Two things usually get forgotten about that game after the linesman knockout:

1. Our goal, scored before the Tracey got sent off and the linesman got nailed, was weird. Lee Sandford swung in this high cross and Alan Knight, under no pressure, got in a tangle at the back post and put it in his own net. We had not had a shot on target at that point.

2. Shaun Derry replaced Tracey in goal and managed to keep a clean sheet. Pompey were poor and put him under little pressure but his handling was good. We nearly won - I recall Saunders going close late on.

Last three i remember were Boro when we were in the Premier League, Sat evening kick off and it did on london...

Then Millwall and Cardiff in the Championship.

Those days in the early 2000's on the South Stand Blocks G & H were interesting! Don't think i sat down at a game over those couple of seasons on there!

Surely not Cliff, during one of his gigs at Ecclesfield nick he plotted up at our local Currie house in Hoyland, large as life. Restaurant still has the photos and what not in it's waiting area. A "Sir" in Hoyland,

They must love all that waiting outside and throwing stones malarkey Pompey. My best mate in the RAF was a Blues fan and we went from RAF Hereford to the Blues v Portsmouth FA cup 3rd round match at St Andrews January 1972 and Pompey fans were en masse chucking bricks at home fans around and over traffic, including double decker buses, a right " nawty bunch". Blues won 3-1 my memory "tells" me

Christ on a bike I've just checked Blues v Pompey competitive match history and it says 8th Jan 1972 Birmingham 6 v 3 Portsmouth, fuck me, Silent usually puts me right, but i could have sworn it was 3-1, need to see a Medic.

Calm down!

You probably got hit by a brick at half time.

You're gunna get your fuckin head kicked in.

It was very intimidating for away fans in those days, the club, police and FA collectively have done a great job in protecting the away fans since then.

Yeah that ring of steel really protected the Pig fans a few years ago as it allowed the Police to go about their job unhindered behind the Steel walls allowing the Piggy Hit squads to go around taking pot shots at Blades fans...

Evening match at Brentford in 1979. We won 2-1, but the aftermath of the match was tragic with an old man killed by a brick thrown into exiting fans. The Blades supporters' coaches were stopped on the M1 and returned to London where all the fans were questioned. As I recall, the old man was from Brentford and the idiot who threw the brick was a Brentford supporter.

Were you thinking of the below photo? If so, it was Liverpool v Man Utd at Anfield

And Bully's special prize...... your very own football hooligan

Yeah, think you must be right now you've jogged my memory a bit. Too many of them to sort out in the exact sequence!

However, there was definitely a photo of a bloodied fan being led out under the "Bramall Battle" headline or whatever around that time. Would be a peach if you could dig that one out.

April 1st 1967. A friend of mine (1951-2000) told me he watched the match from the John Street Terraces. We were awarded a corner at the Kop End just before half time. Woody took it and Mick Jones rose to head us into the lead and the Blades fans were in raptures but not long after there were the worst fighting my friend had ever seen. Police and St John volunteers were very busy for the rest of the game as many spectators were injured

I didn't see that goal as I was watching the fighting, I am almost certain the goal was scored at the lane end and it just made the fighting get worse

Shoreham street was like a war zone with kids all mixed up in it, I don't like the gutless, classless bastards because of this and many, many other things. Hope the tossers get whatever comes to them, obviously without kids and other members of the normal public in presence of it all.

No doubt he's no saint but it seems a bit harsh that he's the one getting carted out by Five-0

Think it might be the Man U match in October 1967 as in one of the football annuals I saw a photo of a Blade fan with blood pouring from his head wound after a brick was thrown at him. Bob Socks will explain more

SwissBlade The Cardiff trouble I remember was after the crazy game that was 0-0 at halftime and 5-3 at the end with a Nuddy hat trick and a Lester worldy.

I used to park near the old MFI and as I got back to my car it was properly kicking off in MFI car park, a good 50 or so laying into each other. Will never forget the look on the face of a young couple walking out of the shop, probably after just buying their new kitchen suite, to see a bunch of grown men kicking seven shades of shit out of each other. They quickly went back in!

I wasn't at the match (too young). My deceased friend must be wrong about where the goal was scored?

It must've been a different game. The 5-3 game was the opening day of the season back in 2003/04 and i was in a guest house in a small town called Wittingen, Germany.

The game i'm talking about was probably between 2006-2009 and it was after the game at the Golden Lion when we saw the Cardiff lot making their way up the road. They were eventually stopped in their tracks by a WPC on a horse managing to control her horse at in amongst the parked cars skidding about on the tarmac as she charged in to stop both Cardiff and the blades from the lion getting together.

Apparently just down the road were 'running battles' and the windows of the railway went through

I saw it on Cherry Street as i walked down. Tossers

 

[mancunianblade]

Yes. Don't know who fired it, but I was in G and felt the heat from it as it passed over my head.

Same here shit me sen. landed in top tier of BL end saw it bounce off someone didn't it? .. don't recall stewards/police even looking for the culprit.. I may not have remembered any of the right though

There were three flares fired in all. The first went over the roof of the BL stand, the second landed in the pigs penalty area and the third hit the pig in the BLUT.

Correct. Bert was in Block G and watched them launched.
