In all of my 52 years of supporting Sttoke theres only been 2 occasions when I wanted to walk away.
1 Losing to Blythe Spartans
2. Selling Jimmy .
The one player deserving of a mention in my opinion is big John Ritchie, another legend RIP.

I was in the Stoke end and to the left of the goal
My memories pretty pickled but am I right in thinking we went 1 up and then they equalised

Its not going to happen.
Although I agree those who have been involved in accepting bribes and those who have been involved will eventually be found out.
Blatter and bernie ecclestone are from the same mould
Just shows if you have enough money you can dictate the rules

I used to enjoy the International breaks mostly when we were in the 1st division or in the championship, but since weve been in the premier league they really piss me off.
Just as we are hitting some kind of form we now have to put it to one side and endure friendlies and internationals.
On a positive I suppose it allows for injuries to be sorted but thats the only positive I can think of.

I can still smell the bogs at the Stoke end.
When I was 15 I used to wait outside the bakery at Trent Vale and on a Friday night work the night shift if there were vacancies.
One sat morning at 6 am when I had finished me and a mate hitch hiked from the bakery all the way to Coventry arriving there just 10 min before kick off only to find an empty Highfield Rd cos the game had been postponed at mid day.
It was freezing and we ended up getting a train from Coventry and nipping out at Etruria before the ticket guy spotted us.

You are always going to get the sad thick nobs who turn a thread into a moronic slagging off our team, and I bet that if this had been the same story and Neil would have been associated with Man U or Chelsea, there would have been some on this board who would have succumbed to the same abuse.
I have read nearly every review available since it was on last Thursday, and I am heartened by the amount of positive reactions there have been to it.
I am unashamed to admit that the film had me in tears, both sad and happy, and even reading the comments from other footy sites I have been watering up again.
99% of the comments on other boards have been so positive, and I think this has done more for not just our team but for football in general, it has been thought provoking as well. How many of us who didn't know Neil would have given a lift to a guy in a clowns costume.
Often we are too quick to judge, and it is easy to be cynical in a cynical world.
This has resonated with so many people, I just hope that this film will make people think about their own frailties, and an important life lesson will be learned.
Theres only one Neil Baldwin.

The premiership and the football league have turned our football into a money grabbing joke.
Cheats who dive blatantly, the constant pulling of shirts in the penalty area, refs who blatantly pander to the top clubs,
greed has taken our once national game into a money making pit, where the supporters are an afterthought.
The money from Sky and other tv companies is distributed to the premier league, and its no wonder we cant make a decent England team when the majority of premier players are foreign.
Its only going to get worse, the voice of reason and sense will not be heard as long as there is a corrupt organisation pulling the strings.
Rant over.

So true about the atmosphere in the boothen end Me and my future bro in law would RUN in our greatcoats and bovver boots from clayton up penkhl bank and then down to the ground We were both 16 and our parents banned us from going into the boothen end and we promised them that we would go into the Stoke end, which we never did Going past the players entrance we would wait and watch the players going in to huge cheeers. Entering the turnstiles and the cacophony of sound would reverberate around our ears and the climb up to our usual standing place was great as the sound of Zigger Zaggerr Was heard and set the heart pumping. When we scored we werre carried along on a rollercoaster of a ride our feet leaving the ground after the swell began to subside asking the big guys next to us who scored that. I know there was the negative side such as chasing the away supporters with the intention of ambushing them at the station, but at the time it was brill, wasnt it, The mardy arsed namby pby politically correct of today would be horrified at what we did, but it was passion and a love of my team that fired tthesoul and my love of every fibre of Stoke FC The memories come flooding back as I type this of waking up on xmas day and finding santa had again brought me the Charles Buchan football annual and frantically looking for pics of Stoke players. I apologise for going off the original thread somewhat and for the typo mistakes Hard when your eyes keep watering And while Im on the subject wherese feckin rattle |

Dont know if anyone saw it or hasentioned it
If you watch the replay of the manure v fulham game
On min 91 the camera turned to the touchline where you saw Muelestein, Wilkins and the 4th official smiling and having a laugh
This was of course when Fulham were losing 2-1
Granted they equalised later but if it had been Hughes and his assistant I think I would have gone mental
Perhaps thats the reason the 2 were booted out
Plus when they equalised against the run of play Muelensteins just put 2 hands in the air like he was affraid to show emotions against manure
Did any one else see it

The Hudson comparison was alluding to the comments that Arnie appears lazy and uninterested at times.
Hudson was similar in this way
I am not trying to say that he is a better footballer than Hudson on the contrary he had special talents that we would love to see today.
Huddy would beat a man, beat him again by nutmegging him and then stop as if to say have you had enough yet.
Arnie did the same on wednesday night, when it comes off he is a star, when it doesnt he looks a nob.
Maybe just maybe Arnie will become our shining star
Work in progress

Mourinho describes him as having the attitude of a child. Steve McClaren tells friends he is the craziest player he has ever managed.
My kind of player
Not quite the finished product, not quite the Alan Hudson
Skill but he too used to have his moods and lazy attitude
Lets stick with the kid

Us oldies like to remember the past cos we were young and virile
Its what the young un of today will do when they get owd
Not saying it was better then than it is today.
I do think we remember the good times more than the bad times not just in footy but life in general.
We didnt have mobiles to text at every decision made, we ranted in the pub amd at work.
We didnt have pre match interviews from the manager
We had the Sentinal and later the Oatcake mag.
The only forum them was a girly mag with sticky pages that you had borrowed from a mate.
We didnt even know the team till your bought a programme on the day at the ground.
So dunna. Knock us old uns goin back in time and I know it wasnt all rosy.
I remember vowing never to watch another game after we lost to Blythe feckin Spartans but was back again the next week.
I did refuse point lank to attend a match that was re sceduled to be played at Vale pk agter the roof came off
Tthink it was againsy Middlesborough but might be wrong.
Oh well time for the alzeimer tablets and may I wish you all a merry xmas

Anyone whop has ever gone 20 rows forward in the old Boothen when we scored or even when we hit the side netting sometimes will never be happy sitting on their arse. It was for me an experience I shared with my late brother and when the whole Boothen became my brothers, a family united in a common cause, now it's like sitting as a beach guard without Pammi Anderson to look at and while some of you might imagine SJW in a mankini I fear things will never be the same or as good. At least we can remember, Our kids will never have that pleasure. Soon it will be a Virtual Crowd with people logging on from home texting Delilah to each other when we score. Riv, you are so right. As I looked at the link to the Victoria ground photos recently, there was one outside the ground with people coming arriving at the Vic in the rain. Do you remember those days when it was cold and wet outside but an excitement began to grow as you neared the ground. Noise emanated from the stadium and as you entered the Boothen concourse where the food stands were, the noise came down at you through those stairwells. Then up the stairs to find the place you normally stand and you joined 8000 or whatever brothers. No more cold and wet, voices rising where the 'Right Side' sung and challenged the 'Middle' who sung and challenged the 'Left Side' and then a rsponse from the Paddock. Songs, and there were many of them, almost none-stop from before kick off until the end of the game. Sure there were some 'aggressive' chants against opposite supporters but it created a 'bear pit' atmosphere that was magic and addictive. They talk about 'bear pit' at the Brit but it seems to me to be nothing like a 'bear pit' now. Match days in the past were something you couldn't describe to anyone who hasn't been there. I am shocked by the 'sanitised' atmosphere now. I put a thread up a week or so ago called 'In the Southampton Slums' and was criticised by a few respondents; what I was getting at was the lack of songs these days. I won't go on, but what would you give for a return to those days? |
