Match Day Thread Hull City v Portsmouth

And it'd be the same scroats who'd be chucking beer over the fence if it were allowed on the terraces.

 

I do find it a bit weird

Didnt use to be a thing, but when we score
it honestly reminds me of a pack of baboons

 

Flange…






(or troop, band or tribe)

 

Or a pipe fitting

 

Yeah think so. Long time ago so may of been in the ground in a bar or something. Remember so much as we were 15 and one of my mates had his first beer, screwed his face up and said “ beautiful “…

 

There was another that Hughes made for Giles in the second half that was utterly sublime, it was a low ball with just the right amount of curve to go around the defender and land at his feet.

 

He hasn’t had a game for over a year, he’s currently doing an extended pre season during the early part of the season. That would be my guess.

 

Gerald the Gorilla on Not the Nine o clock news. Love that sketch

 

I love a beer, and food, but find it very odd that people can't just sit and watch the game they've paid to see without being desperate for some booze. Just my opinion.

 

As much as I'm all for getting laws overturned I don't see Hull City being a big enough organisation to get it to the House of Parliament.
For me it's a good law anyway. If they want a drink so badly watch it on the concourse.

 

I saw a load of them lined up opposite cheese. They looked about 13 years old, all stood there with stupid grins as the police asked for their details. If that's our best we can offer I do hope there isn't a Hooligan FA Cup comp any time soon.

 

Thought the ref was poor yesterday , allowed Pompey to time waste at every event , goals , injuries . He let them bend his ear a lot , he wasn’t watching where they took throw ins from he was looking into the area.The ref at Derby let almost every foul go unpunished and the Rams benefited from numerous shoves in the back of our players in the air.
Lastly two of Pompey backs obstructed Joseph pressing straight from a kick off , sick of seeing it - it’s a foul!! So many teams do this now .

 

Hughes is probably the best passer we’ve had at centre-half. I don’t think Greaves had either the vision or ability to play some of the passes Hughes does. Don’t think Chester or any of our more technical defenders from the Bruce days did either.

It’s not just his diagonal passes like the one he played to Gelhardt yesterday either. The pass for Coyle for the first goal was sublime as well and he frequently attempts line-splitting passes down the left for Giles that sets up Giles perfectly for a cross or cutback.

 

Brilliant - thanks for that.

 

Was it Hughes who curled passes round their right back for Giles a few times?
Great passes

 

Yeah. He attempts those passes almost every game too. He steps forward with the ball and bends those passes between the opposition’s right back and centre-back for Giles to run onto and whip a cross in.

Credit goes to Jakirović for utilising that as we rarely saw it last season. It seems simple but Hughes playing a line-breaking pass for Giles to run onto and cross into the box has created a lot of chances this season.

 

Back in early 1970s was surprised that you could drinks in grounds after none being available at BP. Leicester in the away end and 3 bars behind side stand, at Burnley,their Kop, at the time. That led to a bit of fun when me and a mate took advantage of that had quite a few beers and went in there. Which was fine until Waggy went on a run from the halfway line and scored and we were the only two who celebrated. There were clubs at Sunderland and Middlesbrough but you couldn’t take drinks out. It was supposed to be for members but they let a busful of us in. Was a bar in Gelderd End when we played Blyth in the Cup Replay but again you couldn’t take drinks out.
.

 

Why doesn't that apply to every other form of entertainment then? RL, RU, Darts, concerts etc etc.....why does it only apply to football fans?

 

To be fair I'm happy to not get covered in beer in every away end when we score.

 

Thanks. What kind of glasses did they use for drinks you could take out? I’m guessing no plastic back then, or am I wrong?
And at the places where you couldn’t take drinks out, were they busy during the game, or just at key times like before kickoff and half time, like now?
