Trouble After Game? (Spurs)

[fifty shades of blade]

Don't remember this type of pile on when florist scabs ran onto the pitch attacking our players. Funny that this chump doesnt mention how it all kicked off as well. As for people saying it's a disgrace why our club hasnt commented fckin dullards, people really are thick as fck.

Personally I have never seen anyone get aimlessly clipped at the football without doing something to provoke or being game for it themselves. Very possible this is what happened on this occasion, if so obviously very wrong, but I'd suggest the hundreds on here/millions on twitter find out what actually went off before being 'disgusted' at whatever went off

I got “clipped” with a punch to the back of my head coming out of Wolves years ago. In the underpass holding Lady HBs hand. I can assure you, I wasn’t in any way provocative. Truth is, every club has idiots following them.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Can’t help but find similarities to the fat forest fan who craved attention over the mcburnie incident.

I’m not a twitter user so may need to be enlightened but if that had happened to my dad my total focus would be looking after him not posting shit on social media.

Maybe totally innocent, maybe wrong place wrong time or maybe in a group that got gobby with us inferior northerners.

Whatever the circumstances it’s clear what the motives are for the son who posted this and his dads welfare doesn’t sound like it’s top of that list

Nope, son wants a load of freebies and attention.

I don’t often post on here (not since United didn’t start the SUTV for Watford for 10 mins at 2 int morning) but I’m a long standing member and just thought I’d clear something up.

I worked with Craig for 2 years about 10 years ago and he is a really really nice bloke! Former international swimmer, then swimming coach, then senior manager in manufacturing before having a stroke. He now runs a stroke recovery charity and has two daughters who are seriously good at sport (like national level rugby and netball).

Having been excited to see my mate post on Facebook that he was heading there then I reached out to say “hello, good luck, etc”. Then was really saddened this morning when I’ve just woken up and seen all this.

So FACTS (understanding that facts are only facts if you capitalise)…

1) he drove from near Liverpool/Cheshire sort of way, so won’t have been “tanked up”
2) I highly doubt he then met up with a large group of landaners to terrorise the locals
3) before moving to Sydney, I went all across the county alone with my dad to watch United (similar age), so again… I am highly dubious this was due to “gobbling off”. We tended to get in, watch match, get out
4) he’s very active on social media, but that’s generally because he runs a charity and has an extremely active family, therefore it’s second nature to post stuff. Some of it makes me cringe, but who am I to judge?

So, I call BS on at least 2 of the “first hand” accounts on here, and wish people would think a little before turning a shameful (but pretty ubiquitous) event into an opportunity to pick on people’s looks, posting history, motivation, etc. with absolutely no context or thought. Yes, he’s a bit moralistic (actually because he’s a nice fair bloke) and yes a bit misguided (if he thinks exactly the shame doesn’t happen round WHL/TS)… but he is a good man.

Anyways, UTB from oz! Better do some work as it’s another early start Sunday morning for Blackburn

Thanks for sharing this, all our thoughts are with Craig and his dad

 

[Digs blade]

No offence mate cus we are all free to post our opinions but I’m not sure that you’ve cleared anything up at all with that post

 

[JohnGannonsPerm]

Pre-match in Browns.

Don’t know why but I thought of King Gary when I saw this

But one thing you didnt clear up.... is he Levy in or Levy out?


Not even joking Spurs fans were fighting among themselves about this very matter

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Fucking disgraceful

 

[Sean Thornton]

Wasn’t there, don’t know anyone who was so l’ve no idea what actually happened, but l’ll tell you what………






Always the same.

Mine aren't.

 

[Sydney Blade]

Funny you should say this, there have only been two or three times I’ve ever been scared as an away fan (bearing in mind I’m 6’4 and 140kg).

Coventry is always a little fruity for some reason (mainly as they have a chip I think). Even far away from ground with groups of 2 or 3… bit like this event I suppose.

Cardiff away when we beat them 3-0 and they had 2 sent off - think coterill playing for them. Only about 600 United fans that night and they had the car park full with about 100 shit-spitting nutters being held back by 10 police over a hip height metal fence.

The final one was Watford, and we get out to about 10v10 standoff with 5 or 6 already rolling about on the floor. I thought, “here we go again” and puffed chest to cover my dad (who would have been about 65 at time) but it turns out they were arguing over Kevin Blackwell (of all things) and it was Unitedites. Funny old world!

 

[Digs blade]

It’s strange and I say this with the greatest respect but I’ve never been to a united game home or away and been fearful

 

[Bartleby]

I tend to not immediately trust these kind of stories any more these days but it's sad if true. Most if not all clubs have a few bad 'uns don't they?

[FlamingLip]

Just flicked through some of the comments, some absolute belters. This is the first ever account of violence in a town/centre following a football match right? Must be. Gone viral, fck me.

Digs, you seem very tough… which is nice, I like that. I hope you use this fortitude as a force for good.

I, on the other hand, am a realist and understand my limitations (despite looking like a shithouse).

Don’t get me wrong, I lived in Hume and even the corner of platt fields for a time (in the halcyon days when £20/month would let you use the city academy gym), but the futility of man’s anger towards man and capacity for destructive stupidity sometimes leaves me both alert and sad in equal measure.

 

[Digs blade]

Can’t disagree mate with your sentiments and certainly don’t consider myself tough I’m a lover not a fighter but honestly can’t say I’ve ever been fearful either.

My general rule at football is if you look for trouble it will find you, if you go mouthing off then prepare to be clipped.

Not that I’m suggesting that this is what happened with the old fella last night

 

[chesblade]

This actually made the 7 o'clock news on TS

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

 

[metalblade]

Something don't sit right on this story they could have been slapped by anyone might even have been a Spurs mob that did it or random blokes out on the town. I know one thing if I was sat in A&E while my old fella was being treated I wouldn't be posting shit on twitter. Not at all sure what he expects SUFC to do if the attack happened a mile away from the football ground. Probably best to let the Police do their jobs (I know we are talking SYP but still) for all we know the old lad could have tripped up the kerb.

As for Forest fans and the pigs chiming in fuck me they do want to put their hands over their gobs and shout full up.

Fair play.

 

[VwBlade]

Nearly shared this earlier myself. Easy to pick out the pigs, the scabs and the Wrattled of Wrexham on this twatter thread. Why are they tagging Sheffield United asking for a response as opposed to tagging South Yorkshire police? Outside the ground, nowt to do with the club. Plus my dads followed the blades to every ground in England and says the worst kicking he's ever had was from Spurs Fans so they can fuck right off with the holier than thou bollocks

 

[ancientblade]

They forgetting they like to attack blades on their own/with the missus while they're in big groups or walking around the ground when the games kicked off looking for anyone.

exactly ive looked on pigtalk about this thread their unbelievable condeming our fans as scum and thugs when the number of times their fans have attacked united women and kids outside leppings lane is numerous i know for a fact it has happened at most derby games at the sty then they wonder why their boys get ambushed on bramall lane when they come here just a set of arrogant morons

 

[Sean Thornton]

Reminds me of Clive Betts MP and his claims about trouble on Bramall Lane against poor innocent church going Grunters - all with out a single kidney after previous trips through the tunnel. Taking only one side he was critical of the Club. Who, after inviting him to view the cctv they had, found that his mouth was now shut on the subject. The rest of them twittering must really be hurting at the thought of a Quarter Final. Because we know that’s what it’s really about.

I know this is a long time ago but thinking was late 70s my mate and I went with my dad and uncle v spurs, we were in the south stand as I was on crutches (mountain at cadwell practice weekend) and my mate had a broken arm from getting jumped by some piggys in the daisy

Anyway some spyrs had tickets in there and started on a couple of West Indian lads and my dad and uncle were having none of it

Ended up my father and uncle (both in their 60,s ) getting carted down to police room and me getting me bike mended for free on the promise my mother would not find out

I was keeping up with this up until the bit about the bike.

 

[HammerInPeace]

Seen a lot of youths wandering around recently before games. Was about 30 of them marching up London Road on Saturday, looking for god knows who.

Harry Kane...

 

[HammerInPeace]

We don't know what happened, so let's not speculate on that. I will, however, indulge in a bit of speculation as to this guy's motives for plastering his beaten-up father on Twitter. Is the attention really worth it? I doubt it. I suspect it leaves him feeling quite hollow.

Enjoyed the "wonder if we will hear anything from @SheffieldUnited after this" or words to that effect, later on in the thread. Like what do you want the club to do? Ban all its fans? Give them the place in the next round by way of apology? We don't even know if it was United fans who did this (although I'll happily retract that if it turns out it was).

Have the match replayed...

 

[HammerInPeace]

Hope the old fella makes a speedy recovery and Spurs give him a special day out as I am sure they will.

A quick look in their trophy cabinet...
