Noooooooo

 

Zico's story ........

 

 

 

 

right, my Ipswich story

 

first off, I absolutely gurantee 100% swear on what's left of my folks lives that this is true, ask my brothers, or mates, if you ever meet them

 

in the aftermath of the barry knight debacle, we're all licking our wounds on the bwfc rivals bit

 

as was the norm them days, ipswich fans came on giving it the large, dirty northern c�nts, got what you deserved etc

 

i took it personally

 

so go for a mooch on their section

 

loads of them on there "i'm a lifelong fan me, can't get tickets for wembley, gutted, beg beg beg"

 

so I gets this idea

 

I sign up a fake hotmail and rivals account called "portman_dave"

 

go on there and say I'm a lifelong fan too, got 4 tickets but mate has dropped out, 2 going spare, I want them to go to REAL fans, no JCLs, so email me telling me why you think you should have them

 

hour later i login to hotmail and i have loads of mails, loads

 

spend my dinner chuckling to miself as I read how they met bobby robson on their 5th birthdy, pictures with terry butcher as a kid, you name it, they'd done it

 

one bellend tries telling me he's that hardcore he went to Grimsby away on a Wednesday night with about 200 other hardy souls, his email account is @hull.ac.uk - clearly at Hull uni, clearly not that hardcore

 

then one guy mails me this proper sob story - in the past 12 months his wife has left him, took the kids, lost his job, stuggling to make ends meet, couldn't get to the games that season so missed out on vouchers blah blah blah

 

and leaves me his mobile number 07980 whatever

 

so I have this other idea

 

I mail him back and tell him he can have them for free, i'm quite affluent, his story touched me, I'll call you later with details

 

I then mail hull uni lad and say "grimsby away, wow, that's commitement, they're yours mate if you want them, call me later on 07980 whatever"

 

end of work I log back in, have mails from them both telling me i'm a right bastard I am and how could I do that to a proper football fans

 

so I mail them both back saying

 

"now you know how it feels to get shafted you cunts, come on you whites"

 

had a massive wank right after, it felt good

Idle bastards

Love that

Its a great tale. Not sure I'd have managed a wank after; I'd still be steaming with the image of knight in my mind.

Love it Zico. Never gets tired.

Should be a pinned post that story, makes me laugh every time. There'll still be men gunning for you down there

Love that story

Magilton is the enemy, not Sheepshanks

I listened on the radio

 

Turned off beyond being able to listen on about 88 minutes

 

Put it back on to hear not only were we still playing cos they had equalised,there had been a red card

 

He was obvs cnut but out lack of discipline cost us,

 

And that pansy jensen missing the one on one

Radio for me too

 

I think it was the only time ever I necked 8 cans of lager and smoked 20 cigs within 3 hours

I defy any team not to react as we did to the injustices that night, especially in such an important game & anyone who was there knows it wasn't our indiscipline that cost us... Knight would have made sure they won whatever we did.

Maybe undies

I was in Istanbul, think it was the night Galatasaray won the UEFA, great.

Yes thats when they beat Arsenal - we had a lock in at Ipswich after the game with a landlord who was an Arsenal fan - commiserating oneanother I think - or just getting pissed

That sounds like the minibus I was in, with a driver who was a cocky twat driving down, refusing to stop anywhere when asked nicely. After the game he said he was driving straight back but the mood had changed completely & he was told to stop at the 1st pub or else, thinking we'd get the last half hour.  But...the landlord drew the curtains & carried on serving so we carried on drinking & singing much to the bemusement of the locals , & to the misery of the driver.  The busses were running by the time we got back !!

 

Agree with Ronnie P......the loss of discipline was understandable & only came as a reaction to the refereeing injustices, & not the other way round.

Gardners/Arkwrights ( when MW was landlord ) or Howcroft - I think

You're going soft in your dotage M....never forgive, never forget!

I think that game doomed them that day, 17 years and counting since the Tractor Boys had a sniff of the Prem.

Arkwright with MW landlord

If we were dirty or not the disparity in the card count says more about the refereeing. Late in the second half i was stood next to a steward and even he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Anyway, their pub across the road needed new windows. Every cloud.

Was that the drum and monkey? We were in pre match and they came and give it the big un about 10 mins before kick off
