I must say the crack was great last night reading through some of the banter with the case of the phoney Sikh a real laugh. Then I read something from Nostalgic (I think) this morning talking about having this forum more or less a lifeline across the other side of the world (Forgiveness if Ive got that wrong Name /place etc) I too have been in positions where for long periods just had American Broadcasts etc and it has a really intense effect Its strange the things you retain or remember ..as if your brain says "Remember that one...its a goodun!" The type of thing where maybe theres a lull and somebody comes out with something really funny, or even half funny and for some reason and you remember it for years.. I wonder if anybody has any funny/simple thing they remember.....For some daft reason I remember being in the Roker end (unusual for me)...The game was quiet when a Sunderland voice said "Careful Hughesy ye`ll get a heedache if ye turn any faster mind!" John "Yogi Bear" Hughes (Billys brother) a massive, but slow, Left winger signed from Celtic in his last days as a pro.... Well over 40 years ago thats a joke in itself ....so there it is for anybody reading out there!!!! ...anybody else?
Watching us beat Norwich 4 -1 back in 1982, someone called out "it's just like watching Juventus", to which someone immediately replied "more like ****ing Fray Bentos". Made I chuckle, that.
During the first years of the SOL I used to sit in front of a really annoying bloke who would always spend the whole game slating the near side linesman. This one particular afternoon the game was all set to go when I heard the familiar booming voice from behind. "Ah for ****'s sake" His mate asked him what was up "Look at that ****ing linesman" he said. "He's not fat, he's not bald, he's not even black...How the **** am I going to get through this game?...I bet the ****s gay!....(shouts) Oi you fooking bent bastard........"
At Hartlepool v Leyton Orient some years ago the 3 Orient subs were warming up running up and down the touchline. Orients manager sent two of them on leaving one jogging slowly in front of the home fans all alone , in a moment of silence some comic yelled at him, " You must be ****ing ****e , if you can't even get a game for these". Even the player was laughing.
Mine is a little embarrassing and maybe not funny but it sticks in my memory. A game many years ago at Roker, standing in the Fullwell end, a packed house on a bitter day. In those days when it was full you simply could not move. My arms were down by my side, lifting them was if not impossible certainly hard and my nose was running with the cold. Before I could get to it, the wind blew and the long dark hair of a lady in front of me blew across my face, wiping my nose. I often wonder how she felt when she tried to run the brush through her locks that evening. If it was your wife my name is MackemsRule
Thanks Sid...I do think it was funny and enjoyed reading! as were the other lads here.... Interesting ...You would have thought that anybody (Newbies) could have contributed for others to read...non threatening...I mean....anything would have done....I only write this as Newbies contribution and reticence seems to be current......
Shafiq_Iskanni88SAFC..... "The Early Years"...are you there?.....come on Shaf give us a bon mot.... youre a Newbie
Going back about 12 years we were playing at the sol against Portsmouth and as you all know their fans are quite boisterous, I was sitting in the south east corner and on this particular day, they had been very loud and constant in their songs and you could literally here a pin drop among the Sunderland support, when a man sitting behind me suddenly screamed at the top of his voice towards the pompey fans "do you's do requests!!?" Something so simple but at that moment in time he had the full area where we were sitting chuckling, I know this doesn't sound funny reading it back but I suppose it's just 1 of those things where you had to be there at the time and that's what sticks with me for some reason.
....Thats the beauty of these things and for some reason they stick with you ...I wonder if your bloke was always funny or that was moment of fame and he went home secretly chuffed with himself haha!
Reading Safc83 made me think of another one which was really funny at the time....Years ago I watching Accrington Stanley at home.Rain drizzling down Everyone facing into the wet This one wag who was obviously "comfortable" started to lay into somebody called "Harrison" who wasnt even playing The game was destined to finish 0-0 "Where`s Feckin Harrison today anyway?" ...." Picked up by Blackburn...What a Feckin laugh!"...."Hes feckin Useless!".....I swear nobody joined in but we all bore the constant nag all the way through the match every time there was a lull ...."Another thing about feckin Harrison...Feckin milk`ll turn faster"....Everybody looked straight ahead, suffering, trying to get something from the ****e in front of us Finally about 87th minute in a lull as cold as a witches tit he says simply,with impeccable timing..................."....I hope he does make it...." I`d like to say everybody turned to look at him at this point and missed the only goal ....But they didnt....After a groan in absolute unison eveyrbody really laughed Some turning round to see who he was A real professional Heckler....Something about standing watching a football match...I miss it!
Sorry for the delay in responding, just got back from the hospital. Got a right kicking off this mad man rambling on about his wife's snotty hair??????? I still see the lad involved in this. In the Fulwell end beside the dividing railing, so we could smoke by being able to get our arm through the rails, without destroying the cigarette. The Fulwell had been infiltrated, coins, darts all sorts were being flung at us. Coppers were patrolling along the railing, when my mate got a dart in his arm. Pulled it out effing and blinding, when this huge copper walked over and holding out his hand just said "give!" My mate refused and the cop said. "You chuck it back and it could come back and they may get double top!"
Think you mean SHAFTIN JIZZA i was on to him 3 weeks ago and sent him a pm telling him so, think hes Big Chriss, Cest, Shaftin etc.
