Funniest thing seen at a Southend game

[Holy Joe]

Tony Bullock - the Macclesfield keeper who booted the ball into the crowd after being sent off and then pulled his shorts down.

I saw him in the car park after the game, I thanked him for the 3 points. He wasn't amused.

Ronaldo's hissy fit because he couldn't beat Flavs

I thought singing "sacked in the morning" to Scolari just after Adam Barrett scored was bloody hilarious at the time ?.

They had the last laugh, but still, good times.

Tony Jones jumping the fence to get the ball at Daggers and getting his finger caught at the top of the fence was pretty funny. Not for Tony though I'd imagine

It will always be the inflatable Mr Blobby on the bench when Barry Fry left.

What one was that?

If it is the bloke soiling himself at a reserve match then I take no credit for that.

Neither would I wish to do so.

That said if I had soiled myself at a game I would make my excuses and leave rather than try and borrow some tracksuit bottoms.

The fact that the bloke in question was so desperate to watch a reserve game makes it even more bizarre.

At home to Brentford in January 2006 and we were 2-0 up at half time and playing very well and they were not !. Martin Allen (Mad Dog) must have let rip in the changing room and then sent his team out early to warm up. A few of the Brentford players other than warm up decided to watch the Bluebelles routine instead so when Allen emerged from tunnel and saw this he was extremely angry and animated.

All ended well as I recall as we beat them 4-1. Happier days...….

Forgot about that. I think Morecambe's subs did the same one season. They just sat down in unison and stared. They were winning so they escaped the Martin-esque rant.

En route to Plymouth, Feb 75 on the 2 day trip organised by 'The Brother's Grimm'.
Someone half way up the coach had put a bag of apples & oranges in the overhead rack.
The coach went over a large bump or pothole, & they all toppled out onto the blokes head sitting beneath them!.
We were on the back seats, & witnessed the whole thing, peeing ourselves laughing!. Initially the idiot thought we'd chucked them at him, & started throwing them back at us!.

The ball flying up in the air against Aldershot last home game and landing straight on the bald lino’s head as he was standing with his flag up was pretty bloody funny!

Some weather related contenders:

Rob Newman slide tackling Mark Hateley from fully 20 yards away at a very wet Boothferry Park and then Hateley deciding it was only safe to take throw-ons from that point on. Simon Livett’s finest moment in a Southend shirt - realising he couldn’t kick the ball out of the puddle, flicked it up so he could volley in a cross.

The FA Cup game in the rain v Barnsley when the pitch was unplayable. Watching the ball roll towards an empty goal in slow motion before getting stuck in a puddle.

That game against Sunderland when the fog came down. Sunderland fans not realising they’d scored until celebrating players returned to their end and it belatedly dawning on them what had happened.

 

[Medway Blue]

A home win.

I once saw a game at the Hall when Barry Silkman was playing. We got a free kick deep in the opposition half on the right flank and all our defenders trudged up the pitch for it. I seem to remember Silkman and another player stood over it but I can’t remember who did what. Anyway the upshot was that the first player ran over the ball at which point the second player blasted the ball at the back of the player who ran over the ball and it went out for a goal kick. It was unreal but typical of us in that era.

Whatever happened to The Brother's Grimm?
