Good Morning all, The boards are still pretty quiet, so i've opened this mornings thread to other clubs. As far as Leeds are concerned we have extended the contact of Zac Thompson by another year to 2013, thats three contacts extended in the past week or so (Lees and Nunez being the others) Does anybody have any embarrasing football moments that you have seen, or that have happened to you? Here's mine I was talking to an old school friend last night who reminded me of an embarrassing football incident that occured when I was at School. I was playing for the school team on a wet and muddy winters afternoon. We were awarded a pen, which I decided I was going to take. I took a long run up, wanting to blast the ball Lorimer style past the keeper when I lost my footing, fell over the football (muddy conditions) and broke my wrist.... The pain, the humiliation
Unlucky. Embarrassing situations… Walking through Oceana with my tit hanging out cos my strap had broken on my dress and I hadn’t realised… I only noticed when men started pointing at my chest
Yeah i think it was at Elland Road not long ago actually i saw the Tigers lose 4-1 was defo a embarrasing moment
Morning all, morning Pags. Ooops, how embarassing!!! No embarassing moments for myself during my playing career as such. But I do remember the story of some Manc defender in our team telling me to get up & stop whining as we were about to defend a corner. He was slightly less polite & subtle, but you get the picture. Then he saw the state of my leg (double fracture, bone sticking out, etc). He promptly threw up on the spot. Quite took my mind off things to be honest.
good morning all. whilst on holiday many years ago (in my early teens) in benidorm, the hotel my family were staying at organised a local hotels tornament. 7 a-side on a tennis court style marked pitch with goals that were 3 qtrs the size of normal ones. anyway, being the tallest i was selected to play centre half (back then i played as a winger) and we looked to have a good team as we coasted into the qtr finals. in that game we were leading 1-0 going into the last few mins and the other team were attacking and hit the ball into the box, when i thought i heard the refs whistle so i caught the ball as you do. Oh No my team mates shouted at me, what are you doing. The ref. pointed to the spot and i got sent off for telling the ref to f*"k off as i heard a whistle. Luckily for me the guys pen was saved but the embarrassment of walking off the pitch in front of what looked like hundreds of mums - dads and other kids left me very red faced. The ref told me to clean my ears out and watch my language. Thats the worst by far for me.
i got ribbed for the rest of the holidays and my dad stopped that days holiday extras and gave them to my sister. i only ever swear when i get annoyed even back then. but to this day i swear that i heard a whistle.
Won a header around the centre spot & got a lot of power on it, unfortuntely I also got a nasty gash above my eye. Anyway the header went & set up a goal & in my dazed confusion I wasnt too worried about not seeing the finish as I was planning on watching it on match of the day that very same night.
Goooooooood Morning all.. So embarassing Moment..????...On one of me trips up a while back...I walked from Dewsbury road to ER ..Via Tempest road..Got to the foot of the slope leading up to the Old Peacock.

Pags you and Sww picked a new watering hole yet for pre-match /post match drinkys..???
Very good!!! Not an embarrassing moment, but a moment of stupidity - one winter's Saturday night, pissed up in Hessle square, I ridiculously offered to play in goal the following morning for a local team. FFS, cold and damp at 10.00 on the Sunday morning, I was shivering, hands blue, nose full of snot. I got fed up of running behind the goal for the ball, I thought - there's a net there, I may as well take advantage of it, save me having to move. We lost 5 - 2. Strangely, I never got asked again.
I played in a game set up between our company and a neighbouring one. The highlights were a corner with me leaping like a gazelle at the near post, the deftest of headers followed and the ball was in the net before anyone could even move. I repeated the trick with the exact same result about 20minutes later, but the only trouble was they both went past my own keeper. We ended up losing 3-2 so it took a long time to live down.
Not yet, will do though soon I have no embarrassing football moments really. Oh I suppose Boro away last season… Me and LIw stood there, then we went and scored, somehow int eh celebrations I ended up bent over into the row in front, with an old bloke trying to get me up and 2 blokes jumping on my back… LIW found it highly amusing…and said I enjoyed the 4 way…
Morning all. Some good stories so far but think we all need photographic proof for some of these (pags in particular!). My most embarrassing moment came after an away game at Tottenham (many years ago). Walking back towards tube station after game along seven sisters road and the pavements were heaving so was walking one foot in road and one foot on pavement when a bus overtook me and managed to crack teh back of my head open with the wing mirror. Was an almighty bang and i tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened despite the blood running down my back. Plus point was the £5k payout from London transport
My chest area is for LIW’s eyes only Oh it was embarrassing but my sister just attached my strap to the other one behind my neck and I carried on dancing and drinking
Double fracture, OUCH , would have prefered to see pags incident then yours tbh, did you fully recover Boggers?
I remember playing Saturday league against one of our bitterest rivals. The score was 1-1 with a couple of minutes to go when I got put through 1 on 1 with the keeper. As the keeper came out I calmly slotted the ball past him and began celebrating like I'd won the world cup. I took great pleasure celebrating in front of the defender who'd been kicking the crap out of me all game, until I saw the ball bounce back off the post, back into play and cleared to safety by one of their defenders. I didn't feel stupid at all!!
One of mine was when i got into a slanging match with someone on not 606 only to read a few days later that she is in actual fact a woman. I swear to god I was thiss close to saying "your signiture makes you sound like a right gay!" The pictures a very hard to see on the app
Back in the 80's I went to a home match at Boothferry Park where some City supporters invaded the pitch at the end. Being an opportunist I saw the chance to run across the pitch from the packed East stand to the empty West stand and get my bus about ten minutes earlier. You guessed it, everyone else seemed to get away 'scott free', but I got collared by a burly police sergeant and ended up back in the East stand with a fat lip for my troubles. I think I got home late too.
