Also. While we're on the respect fellow Blades journey. We could bin off the casual sexism at any time for me...
That's all well and good, but what about the serious sexism and homophobia?can we throw in casual homophobia as well?
Again on this subject, what about fowl and abusive language, mainly the use of the "C" word. Certain there will be young ladies post and read on here. That word crops up on almost every thread. Small steps but let's clean this forum up a tad.That's all well and good, but what about the serious sexism and homophobia?

My wife always says that, “ why do you always need a beer when you’re watching the footy?”.this is genuine question & i thought is good place to ask. because this is from a person that is teetotal, has never done the pub because it was never a thing growing up going with my granddad then when he passed, i moved sides to sit with my auntie have been their for 20 yrs. it was always chip shop pre match not pub
why do you need drink 6-8 pints to watch a football match
i understand pub thing, ive been on many work night out in them, just the amount of alcohol, is football boring without it?They always say people who don't go to pubs cannot understand why people who do go to pubs go to them.
I don't know really. I think the kick off time on Saturday didn't help. Starting at the same time but with an extra couple of hours before the game probably pushed some over their usual limit.i understand pub thing, ive been on many work night out in them, just the amount of alcohol, is football boring without it?
As one teetotaller to another, I can find even the most drab and tedious Sheffield United match entertaining. Stone cold sober every time, and I love it!i understand pub thing, ive been on many work night out in them, just the amount of alcohol, is football boring without it?
Different times !You went to London and back, on your own, at 10 years old?

Agree to an extent but it was definitely fuelled by drugs in the 80s (speed mostly) and people got just as pissed.Agreed but there’s a big difference the 70/80s crews only wanted it with like minded opposition fans , innocents rarely got involved, they wasn’t driven by drink or drugs and hardly anybody over the age of 23 got involved.
We still talking football, or moved on to parliament?And 60 year old blokes who literally can’t keep still and acting more childish than my 4 year old is just a bit fucking weird.
yeah i wish i had a 8 pints to forget Shrewsbury, Fleetwood, Gillingham,Also, kudos to you for being able to watch the Adkins years sober.
Had 10 pints to watch Stevenage away. Still gives me nightmaresyeah i wish i had a 8 pints to forget Shrewsbury, Fleetwood, Gillingham,
I didn't drink when I first started watching united in early 70's, now I'm alcoholic. You've got to have a belly full watching that shite. Think I might have seen 10 decent seasons out of nearly 50, wouldn't have it any other way rather be a blade than a glory hunterthis is genuine question & i thought is good place to ask. because this is from a person that is teetotal, has never done the pub because it was never a thing growing up going with my granddad then when he passed, i moved sides to sit with my auntie have been their for 20 yrs. it was always chip shop pre match not pub

I remember going to Hillsborough 1966 and both sets of fans sat and stood together. The rivalry was intense, but something culturally and sociologically happened in the late 1960’s and it’s continued and been normalised over the decades. Probably not a widely shared view but the Thatcher years of celebrated individuality and individualism has probably got something to do with it, the “me and now”, mindsetIt amazes me. My first away match on my own was in '61 at Spurs when I was 10. My grandad gave me the money. He also bought me my first beer and gave me a fag at Fox House.
I went with the supporters club on SUT. We drew 1-1. No trouble until I got home when Dad gave me a hiding for not telling him. Mind he was a pig. UTB
no disrespect intended mate but do you not think you’re own anxiety could be transferred onto your daughter ?You went to London and back, on your own, at 10 years old?

I'd never stand up for her and it was before me but in fairness the start and some of the worst of trouble in the 70s came before her didn't it??I remember going to Hillsborough 1966 and both sets of fans sat and stood together.

I don’t think you can link what is commonly referred to as "the excesses of the 80's" with any upturn in football hooligans, and from someone that lived through that period the whole 'look at me' was nothing compared to what social media has provided over the last twenty yearsI'd never stand up for her and it was before me but in fairness the start and some of the worst of trouble in the 70s came before her didn't it??
Fair point though in view of some of the selfishness and 'look at me' behaviour shown now though.
Aye that was very much my point with the 'look at me' comment. I think you can even make that the last 5/10 years and I think Covid polarised everyone ever further.I don’t think you can link what is commonly referred to as "the excesses of the 80's" with any upturn in football hooligans, and from someone that lived through that period the whole 'look at me' was nothing compared to what social media has provided over the last twenty year
Cut myself free of several social media sites a few years ago, I think there has been a huge change from what was living in and enjoying the 'moment' to far more focus on making sure the 'event' is recorded by a selfie and posted online asap.Aye that was very much my point with the 'look at me' comment. I think you can even make that the last 5/10 years and I think Covid polarised everyone ever further.
As if fans before would've ever thrown glass bottles at their own. I'm not just blaming Covid and/or Instagram....all a bit more complicated than that I'm sure but many have certainly disappeared up their own backsides rather than being aware of others.
Our crew in the 70s weren’t piss heads most couldn’t afford it and another thing was you never knew when you had to do some running,Agree to an extent but it was definitely fuelled by drugs in the 80s (speed mostly) and people got just as pissed.
It may have had something to do with the end of the hippy, flower-power era. The 70's saw less peaceful youth cults emerging like skinheads and metal heads and assorted weirdos (I remember seeing a picture of Ronnie Sharpe on the terraces dressed as Alex from A Clockwork Orange). There was even a 'Ted' revival and they could be nasty too. Even the glam rockers enjoyed a scrap. Then punk came along of course.I'd never stand up for her and it was before me but in fairness the start and some of the worst of trouble in the 70s came before her didn't it??
