madowl47 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hardly any arrests ....... genuine banter between fans, players and managers. Is Sheffield going soft !! Although the atmosphere was buzzin yesterday ...... I just dont feel the hatred from either sets of fans. I felt the same at the away game. Is it down to the fact we are pretty evenly matched and no team feels particularly "in their shadow" at the moment. Yes ......... youre gona say you really really detest the b@stds Im sure many do. However after witnessing the outpouring of emotion over the sad news Billy Sharp had last year is it all just show !! Its a genuine question ... no fishing trip. Interested if anyone else agrees.

Guest James-The-Owl Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You're saying "hardly any arrests" as if it's a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Leicesterowls Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was sitting 3/4s of the way up in the north stand next to the away fans. Hmmm...maybe if you sat there you wouldve felt the hatred. Atmosphere like I've never witnessed before in my life. However, I'm sure I'm not the only one, who else thought the United fans were absolute poo ? They sung for like 5-10 minutes at the start then other than the odd hoooooof- until they started long ball themselves- they were totally silent. Poor performance from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulixifer Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 People aren't interested in battering each other any more. Think its in case they damage their iphones in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightmove blade Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Is it down to the fact we are pretty evenly matched and no team feels particularly "in their shadow" at the moment. This I think. There have been some events that have put it all into perspective recently too. Sid, Billy Sharpe, Gary Speed and the deaths in Egypt at that match. We both love our teams, but it is just a game when all is said and done. I want to beat you, but i wouldn't throw a brick or anything like that. Just remember what a good loser I was when (if) revenge is ours one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazinga Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Love the pics of clinton....i was sat down the front there and the piggies were giving him some so he just tapped the badge on his chest then proceeded to educate them that maybe they should actually be watching the game!

mirodo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I had the misfortune to be on a tram mainly full of United fans on the way to the ground yesterday. The "welcome" we got at Hillsborough corner wasn't exactly what I would call friendly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffed Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 On the way back up Herries Road after the game there was a man in a pig shirt on one side of the road walking amongst the Wednesday fans and a bit further up a pig fan and his son crossing the road amidst a sea of blue and white. No one hurled abuse at them, not one tried to attack them and no one was swearing at them and no one was chucking wee wee. There wasnt a single knuckle dragger threatening to glass them. All the Owls fans were jovial and singing and it didnt matter one single bit that there were a few red and white shirts knocking about, Now ask yourself if the boot was on the other foot.... would they get the same treatment at the Lane? Im proud to be an Owl and have fans like ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare i say it As much as i hate your club and some of your fans we all have blunt mates at the end of the day and in some cases family dirty tramps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 There is certainly a bit of hatred in there. For the 90 mins of a derby game I hate the fookers. . .but afterwards it was about celebrating the victory and a bit of post-match banter. I have mates who are United fans and I enjoy having a bit of banter/discussion with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a family in Hillsborough park dad was a blade and mom was an owl and the two kids supported one of each puts it into perspective really in hindsight i probably shouldnt have pushed them in the pond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
