peasepud 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2006 And we can say we were there, its now dawning on me that in 50 years time Im going to be sitting with great grandkids telling them how that Shearer bloke they read about was the greatest, how he beat the previous legends record and more importantly how I was there when he did. Talking glassy eyed about how we sang his name for the rest of the game etc etc. I know we celebrated it but thanks to the predicament we were in I dont think we quite realise the monumental moment it was. Then again, maybe it'll be short lived, maybe we'll be talking about how he was soon surpassed by the legend Shola Oh and did anyone see his missus? when we started the "Stand up if you love Shearer" there was this lone figure stood there all proud and beaming in the Directors box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy Face 27 Report post Posted February 5, 2006 One of the lads was getting a pint in when Zoggy scored. It brought about the realisation of how shit you'd feel if you were there, but missed Shearers goal. "Dad, did you see Geordie legend Alan Shearer break the 200 goal mark and with it a record that had stood for 40 odd years?" "No son, I'd had a couple and had to go for a piss!

JawD 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2006 My mate missed Zoggys goal as well by going for a piss. When he heard the cheer he thought it was shearers and came run ning out. He dribbled as well dirty bastard No way was I going to miss any of that game just in case. What a different game it was! Crowd, players, everything from start to end. Even Babayaro had a decent game! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JawD 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2006 Speaking of the ref, was I seeing things or did he make some odd gesture by going down on one knee to wave his arms and say "no" to another penalty claim? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All them offsides given and no pens to make up for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose when you're turning down penalties all match you have to at least keep it interesting and have some variety in your gestures! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not as bad for the ref we had against Mallorca (I think) at SJP a few years ago, who did jazz hands to say no penna. Strange chap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
