Funny moments

[Pat O’Cake]

While watching a clip on you tube of funny moments in football it got me to thinking of incidents I have witnessed over the years of watching football. Here are some of mine, would love to hear others, there must be loads with the amount of combined years on this site?

There used to be a right gobsh1te, always stood about halfway up the DRE right behind the goal, big, tall, mountain of a man. Before kick off one Saturday the players were warming up and he was shouting abuse Jamie McCombe and thinking he was hilarious as another player let fly with a screamer of a shot which flew over the bar and smacked him in the face, knocking him off his feet! It shut him up at least!

Steve Johnson twatting Keith Knobbs away at Hartlepool and getting a straight red, about 6 weeks later he gets sent off at home for twatting exactly the same player in the return fixture!

Another well known Donny Road ender gobsh1te mouthing off in the car park at a pensioner (who was at least 20 years his senior) who he thought had cut him up. Said pensioner got out his car and leathered him. Said Gobsh1te had the urine extracted for about 3 seasons in the Iron Bar after that.

Hull City fan hammering on the coach window and screaming abuse at us outside the Iron Bar after the game, the window shattered and City fan kicked of the bus to find his own way home!

funniest thing I saw was at Winterton in a pre season friendly, I think it was Ben May but maybe someone will correct me, hit a shot at goal in the warm up and it flew over the bar and hit the clubhouse wall and rebounded on a Scunny fans hand coming outside with a pint of beer and knocking the beer straight out of his hand.

That was at the Winterton Iron stall Mick. Ask Korky about an incident at Port Vale 1983, it was even better. UTWI

The one I was thinking about was a stocky lad with a striped shirt on and was straight behind the goal, also didn’t one of our players pre game hit one in the stand behind the goal and it rebounded and hit Wack on the bonce.

Chris Iwelumo signing for the Iron as a footballer then proceeding to impersonate a tree every time he played for us, that was pretty funny.

I played a blinder one evening at the New Den. We had just come back from one nil down to beat Millwall two one. After the match I was on my way to the train station, but missed my turning. Across the road Millwall fans were singing, so I took my jacket off so they could see my football shirt and started singing Up the Iron. Next thing I was surrounded by coopers and Millwall fans. I had to be escorted back to that small ally way. Then one iron fan told me that he and his mates had my back. F**k that!!

You could have hidden in a barrel maybe?

The fan in fancy dress at Chester dressed as a clown with 2ft shoes on, running across the pitch, also same game, police came on the buses looking for a pair of handcuffs attached to a scunny fans hand, we had to all hold our hands up and all stared singing that Max Bygraves song. Great day.

I remember waiting near the gate at Millwall after Gary Hooper gave us a 2-1 win and a young fellow giving the Millwall fans grief as they walked past and thought I hope for god’s sake I hope them lot aren’t waiting at the station for a punch up, but luckily they didn’t.

Seen a few of our fans ejected from the ground for upsetting Millwall fans. Seems they have a spotter in the crowd nearest to where away fans are located, just looking for anyone who could start those years off every match.

Gary Bull broke my glasses in the warm-up at Oxford’s Manor Ground, the day we got relegated there.

Should’ve stood in the goal you’d have been safe from Bull there.

[Ferrite]

That was my big mistake. Instead, I was halfway up the stand, some way to the side of the goal. Should have known better but I was young & naive!

One of our regular posters on here walking into a lamppost prior to Blackpool away whilst too busy eyeing up the local talent to be watching where he was going.
