dewsbury v batley boxing day about 5 years ago. dewsbury kicked for touch on a penalty decision. the ball spiralled through the air into touch past the stand and smacked a fella on the back of the head waiting in the queue for the burger van, knocking him clean out

i know it shouldnt be funny but me and my old man nearly p1$$ed ourselves laughing

Many, many years ago, Wigan v Oldham at Central Park.
Eric Ashton put Billy Boston in space about 30 yards out.

Boston had only Bernard Ganley to beat. As Boston pounded towards the line Ganley produced the perfect sidestep and "just" missed Billy. To cap it off Ganley then produced a great dive to again just miss Billy as Boston cantered under the posts.

Priceless.

Gerraway, everyone of us at every game, once we know the ball isn't going to hit us, we all track the ball in the hope that something similar to what you and your old fella saw happens.

How come?

I remember widnes playing Bradford northern at naughton park in 1989. 2 Bradford players were wrestling paul hulme to the ground, 1 went to punch paul hulme, missed him and smacked his team mate by mistake.

OK, not at a game, but before squad numbers came in big time, Leeds did a range of t-shirts with players numbers on them 13 Hanley etc.

I bagged on cheap for my holidays with 1 - Tait on the back.

After a week of walking around a Greek Island and having the Scandanvians point & giggle (well, more than usual at me), I asked one of them what was so funny ....

Apparently 'Tait' or a word very similar in Swedish is their eqivalent of 'P*llock'

Bin for that shirt then.

Not at a game but there was a forum once that was not derailed by Rovers and Hull fans ,IIRC it was an electronics forum debaiting whether 5ohm resistors work more effeciantly with slight moisture content in the air present

Strange then that the word NEW is missing from the signage in and around the ground

A few years back watching Aus v NZ at the dump called Loftus Rd. The ockers were stood behind their sticks waiting for a conversion to be taken when some numpty climbs over the barrier and attempts to tackle Willie Mason from behind, he just bounces off and lands on his , Willie just turns round and gives him a bemused look before before the stewards haul the bloke away.
