Funniest thing seen at a Southend game

Forums New posts
Away at Col U the season we won LG1, they were second. Game was finished at half time with us 3-0 up and some of their fans walking out behind the away end. One particular orange Col U fan got a special chant of 'off to the tanning salon'.

Did he mention the Southend fan that thanked him for the three points in the car park after the game?

Haha no he never mentioned that, he said he was getting coins and lighters thrown at him which made him get booked twice, I don't have full memory of this to be honest, so could of been true

I was in South Upper that game and I'm pretty sure that was the end he was at when dismissed - I don't recall anything being lobbed at him - it's possible one item was and I didn't see it/recall it - but I think I'd remember if it was a torrent of items.

It is along with a chant of "Boll ox" at him, which is when he imploded kicked the ball in the East and I think hit a kid with it iirc?
 
Funnily a couple of us were talking about something on Tuesday night.

The Leg End that is Ken McNasty saw a particularly dreadful decision so decided to give the linesman the benefit of his extensive knowledge of the laws of the game. In getting his venomous tirade from the front row of the South Upper into a full blood vessel bursting rant Ken's upper false teeth detached themselves & flew gracefully forward over the front of the stand to end up lying in the South Lower.

As some young lad approached them to see what this missile from above was, Ken gummed at him to "lweve vem awone" & headed down to retrieve them. We all turned up at the next game with those milk teeth sweets & he was showered by them at kick off.

Classic McNasty

Was in the East when we played Norwich once, obviously a while ago! There were 2 very posh ladies and a couple of men, clearly Norfolk stock sitting a couple of rows behind us. One in particular made herself totally at home, complete with checked woollen blankets, flasks of tea and biscuits. Was all going well until Norwich scored, this little group jumped up and cheered, and the stewards came over and sent them unceremoniously packing to the away end. The look on her face was priceless... didnt laugh at all :Hilarious:
 
Watching a friend of mine, that was a steward come down the stairs of the East stand into his position by the pitch, carrying a hot dog with the sausage bouncing precariously on the edge the bun, calling out to him trying to warn him and seeing him distraught as the sausage collapsed on to the floor. Got a small cheer from the people with me.

Next time he saw me, the first thing he said was 'alright mate, f*cking hotdog!' 😆
 
It actually wasn't very funny but very thuggish.

We had Bournemouth playing here and Cherry Bear was on the pitch at half time with plant pot Sammy.

Sub Stuart Thurgood has launched into two footed lunge at Cherry Bear and got him badly. Cherry Bear had to have a few months off of work because of ligament damage sustained in this.

I've put it in the funny section because the crowd cheered and thought it was funny, obviously not realising the severity and impact the 'joke' (as he called it after being called out in the tunnel) had on the mascots life.
 
All the useless so called Referees ,we get in the National League.
Problem is it is not funny for us.
Other observers scratching their heads at the incompetence must be laughing their heads off.

I vividly remember their ginger-haired fullback, Kieron Durkan, getting all types of stick in this game too and losing the plot. Pretty sure that the ball kicked into the crowd was so inaccurate that it missed everyone, smashed a seat and just caused us to take the p*ss even more :Winking: Did we win 2-1?

Isn't Thurgood in prison at the moment for being part of a drug smuggling gang?
