Funniest thing you've seen at a footy match


Recommended Posts

Vs Man United in the last season in the Prem. They were European Champions and we were in the relegation zone but it still took them 70odd minutes to score against us and when they did their fans celebrated like it was the Nou Camp all over again. Invading the pitch and everything. 

 

Anyway, cue the stewards chasing them down and them all legging it back into the Lepp. One pillock in particular tired to hurdle the advertising hoardings, tripped and went flat on his face. Came up with a terribly broken nose and a police escort to the first aid area.

Remember those too mate, just found the palace one funnier.

Almost forgot Sheffield United everytime in the play-offs but particularly that penalty. How could I forget, that was funny.

Sorry to be pedantic pal.

Thanks Givens Day.

Got to be Gillingham away. A cup replay in mid-week due to a frozen pitch the previous weekend.

 

It was so cold my then girlfriend had to go wait in the car listening to the radio because she couldn't feel her face and thought she would actually die from exposure.

 

It was probably the coldest, darkest, most dire Wednesday match I've ever been to.

No roof, no beer and I think Jon Beswetherick got a game that night...

 

... and we lost.

 

But what sticks with me is our band waiting for their keeper, right in front of us, to wind up for his goal kicks and giving him the massive trumpet blast right as he ran at the ball. 

This bloke couldn't cope. Every time he nearly jumped out his boots. He got so pissed off with us laughing at him. So funny.

 

Kept me warm all match that.

 

Back then it was all about the small mercies...

I always have a chuckle when we play whoever Jamie Ward's playing for. He gets so much hammer and gets so riled up that he has to be taken off at half time. 

 

Oh and that match against United when he had to be stretchered off in front of the Wednesday fans and got showered with pie :manager:

Nuhius shot that nearly ended up halfway up the North stand on the halfway line at the end of last season was pretty spectacular 

I remember it having a bigger cheer than the goals in the game and followed by laughter in the crowd. There was always the Nuhiu haters fuming and shouting behind me even though this was the last couple of minutes and the game was won.

Kuqi getting hacked down for a definite penalty with his boot flying off in another direction, only for him to be inexplicably booked for diving - second yellow - off. Crowd so bemused it took as well to get the boos going.

 

Carlton Palmers first half hattrick against QPR , after scoring 1 goal in his previous 40 odd games.

 

Kim Olsen's debut against Port Vale away..crowd start off singing his name, until it becomes obvious that he's not just a poor player, he can't even do the basics.

 

Saxons record air guitar attempt that absolutely nobody joined in with.

Ohhh, the scrapping kids rings a bell...was that at our ground during the halftime entertainment, that sort of thing? I swear I remember something like this at Hillsborough, but it's a really vague memory...

Yes, it was mate, think 1 of em was special needs and didn't know when to stop. Shouldn't be funny but was.

one particular di canio rant at a linesman ended with him wiggling his arse at linesman, pure petulance but very funny.

a personal one, was shouting "taxi" at Dennis Wise from about 2 yards away whilst he was taking a throw in at Stamford bridge, only for him to turn with a cheeky smile and wink in my general direction. Great reaction from someone I previously thought was a thrower.

Not the funniest but this amused me.

 

Away at Dagenham and Redbridge when we drew 1-1, one of their centre backs turned round and gave it some to the Wednesday fans when they equalised.

A few Wednesday fans took it personally and ran to the front trying to "get him", one particular man in spectacles was going off as if he'd murdered his entire family. A female steward tried to calm him down but he kept pointing at the player and tried to explain to her that he started it. Was hilariously childish.

James O'Connor overhead kick against Brentford, I'm sure it was the season we went up and it ended 0-0? 

James O'Connor trying to run was always a rare treat in the grim days of that era. His legs were going faster that Michael Flatterly in "feet of flames" but he was so slow.

  I remember playing Grimsby at their lovely shed years back in a friendly  and one of their stewards had a massive mullet. 

 The whole away support (3 or 4 times the home support) sang 'he's got a mullet, on his head!' 

 Poor sod looked like he was gonna cry but by the end of the game when we sang 'mullet, give us a wave' he did and he applauded us, even shook hands with some. 

 Also same match Blundell Park was one of the most amusing things I've seen at a footy match. The home fans were tumbleweed.
