"Restricted Sheffield United to one shot in the 2nd half"

 

[1973Blade]

Nice to see our fans being appreciated

"Sheffield United best set of fans I've seen at he Valley this season. We had 12 men and struggled from start to finish! @ skybet championship. Can we have that ref every week please".
Shades of Southampton home match.
Got to like the last few comments.

Most were honest and realistic about how utterly garbage they are.

Couldn't admit to the harshness of the red cards though as that wouldn't fit the narrative.

Hopefully lessons learned by our boys on how to 'manage' a showman referee.

Fair comments all round. Even the bit about booing someone being stretchered off..

I think that was just pure anger. Obviously completely unfair on the player but it was a really heated moment and in the ground it looked like a nothing challenge that the ref had got wrong.

 

[R&WStripedBlood]

Could the players of played better, yes
Could the fans of been better , yes
Would Sheffield United of beaten us with 11 on the pitch yes

A hat trick of illiteracy.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Cheers Roy. Correct me if I'm wrong guys but wasnt it Knibbs who did that horrible challenge on Sam McCalllum?
Nasty that was but well done to the twat referee for letting that one go.

 

[originaltrueblade]

It’s a pity we can’t get to play them again this season. I see no comment about the stitches in our players foot

Referee total inept

Thanks Roy

 

[wadblade]

Funny how none mention the tackle on our LB which was as much a red as our two

 

[metalblade]

A bit disappointed with those comments. I have relatives who are Charlton fans and see it as a working class club even if a lot of their support moved away from London years ago. Can't believe how whiney they sound they must have gone soft over the years, they should remember not so long ago they were staring league two in the face. Nathan Jones got it spot on in that interview after the game. They were not that bad we were just very very good until the ref got the cards out. Maybe it was that long stay in the Prem that turned them soft, at least the club made something from it, the stadium is quite tidy, the last time I was there it had a huge crumbling terrace uncovered on one side with a ground capacity of 72,000.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Cheers Roy yep 3 points thrown away but best fans in the land

 

[Northyorksblade]

Cheers Rainbow. That made me lol several times.

I get it, but when the lad is being stretchered off something should click in the brain that something actually did happen.

72k??? Were you there in 1908?

I might go and read the book - "Have Mice & Men"

Sheffield United are one of the dirtiest teams I’ve seen
6th in Fair Play table, even after those 2 reds:

Cheers Roy

 

[GrayBlade]

I had a look around their forums over the weekend and one the most telling posts was on Charlton Life. It simply read “If Carlsberg did referees”.

Just re-checked that list. Prior to the games on Saturday, United were top of that list on 34 points.

They were absolutely abysmal. They looked like a L2 team until the 2nd half. If that's who they are, they're getting relegated.

Since when did identifying that your team were awful become 'soft'?

In 1974 their ground capacity was 66,000.
The Valley had the biggest capacity in the football league at that time. Largely because the ground was mainly comprised of large standing terraces.
I would be pretty certain that their capacity was over 70,000 during the 1950s and possibly much of the 1960s.

Well I never, I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing
