[Football] Stuff that never happens in football anymore

[Leekbrookgull]

You mean like Elland Road?

Not anymore thankfully (at least judging from lack of comment from a mate of mine who follows a tier 6 side home and away).

This was actually Rochdale a little further down from the fish and chips shop.

 

[Bodian]

Gents loos with no roof to the elements, folk peeing into a gully.

Just yards away tinned burgers and hotdogs boiling away at a portable kiosk.

Barrow has them both still.

 

[Mackenzie]

Psycho footballers…..Noel Blake, Mark Dennis, Brian Kilcline, Billy Whitehurst…etc

 

[Skuller]

1. Teleprinter at 4:45 on BBC1, with the print head randomly jumping up and down in anticipation of the next result
2. Typists on ITV behind Dickie Davies typing as if they’d just cracked the enigma code (just googled him to check spelling of his surname: he’s still alive!).

 

[Rookie]

Cup final being the last game of the season with kick off at 3 and a full days build up

 

[Zeberdi]

When shorts were actually ‘shorts’ and footballers looked like middle aged accountants!

 

[Cotton Socks]

It wasn't that long ago that many of us would say 'winning a game' as a Brighton supporter. I like the fact that no one has said it 5 pages in, we've come a long way.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Being offered out by Leyton Orient players during the match

Appreciate it’s quite niche but still miss it

 

[Lenny Rider]

Streakers.

Have we ever had one at the Albion?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Streakers.

Very good call. Part of the fun was the subsequent chase and the covering up.

I remember a bloke running on the pitch at the Goldstone in just a vest…..for some reason I have it in my head it was against Tranmere.

 

[Beach Hut]

Streakers.

Have we ever had one at the Albion?

Wasn't there a streaker Leyton Orient away a while back ?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

[fly high]

Keepers taking a goal kick from the same side of the goal it went out instead of wandering around trying to decide then moving it again.

Streakers.

Have we ever had one at the Albion?

I’m sure I can remember one against Chester City at the Goldstone on the opening day of the 1996-97 season.

Then there was Liverpool away in 2012.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Where's ye olde (Scottish) street crier, er, decrying, at football:

'Get yer macaroon bar
Yer spearmint chewing gum'

Dead. Heroin overdose.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Dead. Heroin overdose.

Harsh, especially in context of time, where the Tennents purple tin - and the Buckfast - was about as bad as things got. Ah, such halycon days, we probably won't see their like again. Ditto World Cup presence

 

[Jeremiah]

Wasn't there a streaker Leyton Orient away a while back ?

Yes - I was there for that match. I don't think he was Albion he came from the Orient end (and that is not an euphemism !)

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Streakers.

Have we ever had one at the Albion?

Fat bloke running across the pitch with his meat an two veg flapping about?

I'm OUT!
