Maybe you had to be there![]()
I was there and heard that.Fulwell End, around 1993-4
Nasty tackle on one of our players, dead silence.
Then someone shouts clear as crystal "Ha'way man ref, that's two foots from the side".
Silence.
Silence.
Then

I wondered why the video quality was so poor.How cute, the last time you actually beat us.
You can't write this stuffAttacking a corner: "Go on Stokes, jump! I DARE ya!"
Must have been his baitMentioned this one before. Just before kick off an announcement came over for Mr ---- to meet his wife at one of the Gates (don't remember which one). A bloke a couple of rows down sheepishly got up from the middle and started his way through the row. His mate started the chant, "You've got to do the shoppin" Which quickly caught on, and there were hundreds giving this poor bloke stick on his way down the stairs. He got even more cheers when he returned to his seat later waving a Tesco bag !
tbh, Armstrong got dog's abuse in his last season. Mind, he was terrible by then.Can't be true, we were never nasty to our players at Roker Park. Only ever fully backed them if this place is anything to go by
I'm sure it was a tackleI was there and heard that.
I thought it was the ball looked to have gone out for a throw and the lad said " ha'way man ref', that was two foots out man"
Whichever, hilarity ensued.
Doesn't really matter mate.tbh, Armstrong got dog's abuse in his last season. Mind, he was terrible by then.
I'm sure it was a tackle
On the other hand, it was almost 30 years ago and I would have been about 12 at the time, so there's that![]()
Superb thread. Fleetwood home few years back Bloke screaming at Gooch to shoot shot inevitably blocked same bloke replied with ‘Greedy twat pass it’![]()
Been told a story from an old one at Roker Park which always tickled me. We were playing Arsenal and David Seaman was in goal. Bloke behind the goal was apparently very drunk, and every time it went a bit quiet in the first half he'd go "DAVID, DAVID" and got no response. Not to be deterred, he kept trying. Eventually, just before half time Arsenal had a goal kick. "DAVID, DAVID" and after the kick had gone he turned round and said "For fuck sake, what?!" and the pissed up bloke replied "You've got Seaman on your shirt" which got a very good response from the people around him![]()

Game needs more people like Strachan. Brilliant.
Nobody has mentioned Rodney Marsh and Sir Alf Ramsay.
Ramsay was giving his team talk before an England game, and pointed to Marsh and said something like"No messing around or fancy dan stuff Marsh, or I'll pull you off at half time", to which Marsh replied, "Blimey Alf, at Man City we only get half an orange and a cup of tea"
