I have heard a few funny comments at games, and I'll regale a couple here. I was watching the Seagulls at the Goldstone, and there was a group of supporters in front of me who obviously had a sweep going, with them having a player each, and if their chosen player was MOTM, they would win the pot. One supporter had Robert Codner as his 'player' and he was to be honest having a stinker. Every time he gave the ball away, everyone around said "****er", or "****ing idiot" and similar comments, with the exception of his sweep holder who kept saying "jolly unlucky Robert, keep trying chap" and other such comments. Made me laugh at the time! When I was a linesman at Gresley Rovers v Bilston Town (FA Shield game I think), I flagged a Gresley attacker offside, and a Bilston Supporter with a broad Brummie accent said "who told you that was offside the lino?" I would have loved to reply to him, but just smiled. What things have you heard at games that made you chuckle?
went to see Sunderland play Liverpool at Anfield 1984-5 season. one of their players, I'm pretty sure it was Paul Walsh, was about to take a throw-in when a scouser yelled out: "I can do that, Giza job." (for the unelucidated: from the popular TV series: Boys from the Black Stuff) The crowd around me dissolved and Walshy put the ball down as he had to recompose himself. I've always assumed he was in fits of giggles too as he kept his back to us while he dried his hands and picked up the ball again.
Someone once told me that we only signed Jon Parkin: please log in to view this image because our stadium is next door to Greggs.
We werw playing Palace last December. Rovers lofted some balls that kept being headed back up field by big Palace defenders. One of our fans shouted " Keep it away from the big fella." I replied "Which one".

Went to a West Brom away game late 80's, coppers then were **** hot on swearing. they chucked loads of people out, group off lads standing behind us, one said top of his voice, ****ing Hell ref you blind bastard, straight away 2 coppers came running down, grabbed him by both arms & started marching him out, 1 of his mates shouts out ' Oi you can't nick him, he's the driver ' made me laugh anyway
