Definitely did a "come on, you blues" when I was going down in my teens.

Erm, what????

Early to mid 90's, just before kick off, it was a lone voice from the kop who, always managed to time it perfectly, and scream at the top of his voice "COME ON YOU CITY SLICKERS".

 

I have no idea who you are, or why you did it, but it was glorious and I'd like to shake your hand.

Back in the day when I first went to matches as medical cover (and I'm talking the old Filbert St) we sat pitch-side and there was always the same guy behind us shouting "close him down and make him kick it" at every forward foray by any opposition player. It was like a phrase on repeat.

 

I never understood it but it made me smile.

Public school and all that...

I fondly recall standing in the Family Enclosure at one match in the 80's/90's, and an insistent Scottish voice kept berating 'You're not doing your job, linesman'.

The start of the Miners Strike is now as close to World War 2 as it is present day. I'm sure that will make a few on here feel old.

Christ, is that true? Mind you, I still think the early 80's were about 20 years ago, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

 

Yes it makes me feel old, you're right

I was tonight years old when I discovered that Mick Jones of The Clash is a cousin to Grant Shapps, Tory MP

Good lord. Yep, feeling old. 

And yes, I'm with you Deb. When someone says 30 years ago, I still think 1970. And there's no way the '90s are retro!

Can't stop laughing at this. Absolutely mental.

Woman on the train to Peterborough after the match yesterday complained about our fans swearing in front of kids then proceeded to call those people every name under the sun. 

 

Very amusing.

This is why I always sit down to pee. 

 

Nothing to do with age, at all.

That’ll teach you not to kneel near Jonthefox then.

Just had a fire in the hospital,near the kitchen under where I am in a station..

fking  got me worried for a moment…I can’t move,I am bed ridden…

People shouting everywhere , pleading passers by to open the doors,Thank god

It turned out to be a builders container ,within the complex next to the kitchen..

but hell of a lot of smoke billowing out,blocking out the sky for 1-2 minutes,

Scary moments..

Thought I was going to be on the Hospital menu..

not KFC, but Fuchs NTF…nuggets toasted & fried….That would be a set up for a humerous  & weird epitaph….

Carnival weekend as well…Caspers singing…‘oh I am on fire’ with live effects…

If we were to bring back the death penalty like Tories like Lee Anderson want, we don't currently have any people here with enough executioner experience.

 

So we'd have to recruit executioners from abroad, from countries that have the death penalty, to at least train some of us up to do it.

 

Which would really piss the Tories off considering how much they hate migrants.

 

I don't think they've thought this all through.

TBF accordijng to the Tories all immigrants are murderers so should be easy to find a recruit.

I'm not too worried about this policy to be honest.  Given their inability to stick people on a plane to Rwanda, I am thinking the precise number of people who would actually be executed before a change in the law to ban it again would be zero.
