Topic: Shanklyboy's and Fat Scousers ( Leo who's still alive ) auld arse thread

Ah bollocks I meant to watch that, which channel was it on lads?  Might try and get it on catchup tomorrow night.

More 4. The film maker gets a bit pretentious but it was all there, including some great clips to the Sex pistols, his balance and grace is beautiful to watch and you get a great insight into what is important to him as a human being.His fundamental personal honesty runs through the film, overcoming any shortcomings .

Just recently 37, does that make me an Auld Arse.   

Children should be seen and not heard!

Been readin this for ages, to young to be an auld un' though.

First game on the Kop was April '77 Reds v Man City. Reds won that day 2-1 with the following team

Clem
Neal Smith Hughes Jones
Case Mc Dermott Kennedy Highway
Keegan  Fairclough

Keegan (43) and Highway (78)

Me auld fella, after much meithering finally took me to the Kop as a ten year old lad.

I recall parking on waste ground in amongst the houses, where a young lad my age  balanced a brick on his shoulder then dropped it to the floor. As we got out of the car he asked  'mind your car mister', me Da' slipped him some money, and as we walked off I looked up at the giant that was Dad and said "what was that for Da".....

We arrived at the old Kop and joined the masses outside all singing and having a laugh, for a boy my age, the people, the smell, the atmosphere was amazing.

We got to the turnstile and me  Da said to the fella'  "alright la', its the boys first time, go 'ead, let him in for nowt, I'll buy you a bevvy after the match"..an elderly bloke smiled and clicked me in.  I looked up at my aul fella and said "Dad, how will you know which pub he'll be in"..

We won that day.

There were lads in the Kop who stood up on barriers and and walls and stuff so people couldnt see,  so the shout went up "fkin get down you scally bastid" and these lads just ignored it...hard faced, little urchins they were...just carried on where they were inspite of all hands giving them down the banks.

Match over and driven home with non-stop tellin me Da' how good the game was, Keegan was great, Emlyn was boss,Jones is nails while Da' sits there with that 'yes son' face  thinkin' how soon can I drop him with is Ma and get down the Ale House.

Which he did..leaving me at home,  "Ma..Ma, Emlyns is the best, Kennedy is awesome...."

He died last summer, August it was, I was in Wales when I got the call.

Miss you fella.

[hedonkop]

nice story mate.....and how vivid the memory was.

[the 92A]

 
That arl ground could tell a few tales, for most of us it's been the constant that we can measure our time by. From childhood to adulthood to fuckin senility, We still keep getting drawn back there.

[shanklyboy]

Couldn't it just.
I just had a flashback then to a gang of us at the cafe under The Kop trying to buy 6 pints of Higsons only to keep getting knocked back and some feller doing the honours for us without us even asking.

We must have been about 13 at the time....Billy Bigtimes eh?

That is so true mate, I remember a third round FA cup match V Accrington Stanley, we won 3-0 I think, I had difficulty seeing the pitch and some Stanley supporters lifted me up onto the barrier so I could see the game.

Posted this earlier in a thread about fans scrapping, looks like the thread got deleted so thought I'd re-post here

i remember Forest away, leaving the City Ground in 78/79 with me mate Danny. His Ma' used to take us to loads of aways. Bless you Margie.

We were heading to her car, walking in amongst the houses by the ground when a bunch of lads ran at us and collared us, the ring leader said  "who you with lads"..I had no idea what was goin on, they were grown men with long hair and bad 'taches, we were eleven. 

At this point Margie came waddling down the street and entered the fray. She took the ringleader by the hand and shook it while saying "they are with me, young man" at which point they all looked a bit embarrassed and kind of shuffled off (don't think that would happen today).

It was only later sat in the car when I thought we could've got battered there.

It was all part of the fun in them days...

Fuckinell, I thought you said Billy Bingham there.

Alright aul fellas, have a look out there.... frightening what's happened to us.

I'll get sniped for that, but hopefully not in here.

Fuckinell Robot-nick next. Trying to sort it out, life servin up lemons and making lemonade and all that end of the storm stuff.

Stretch Armstong. Great.

Shite video. Local Shop for local people on the mike, guitarists in make up, and Lilly Savage on drums. But still a great song. In fact, they was a great band, sadly under appreciated.

...Alright aul fellas, have a look out there.... frightening what's happened to us.

Too right, it's really disheartening to say the least and I do worry sometimes about how easily swayed and distracted from the real issues many of our supporters seem to be these days. The shower in charge are so well practiced in sleight of hand and distraction techniques they make Derren Brown look like old David Nixon (remember him). I think maybe we aught to refer to them as the 'magic circle' from now on, all mysterious and secretive and not revealing how they do their tricks.
I just long for the old days when all you thought about was what happened on the pitch on Saturday.

Nevermind, I just popped in to say good luck with your test tomorrow Fats.

Let us all know how it goes.

You'll never hear the end of it.

But arsing about aside, it is amazing really mate.

The fuckers are still getting away with it. They'd be my heroes if I didn't hate them so much.

Do you ever remember that old Rod Steiger film, The Pawn Broker?

"Tell me, Mister Knackerman, how you make'a dee money?"

[Fat Scouser]

Arsing about aside... I'm shitting meself. But I know I can do it. Now fuck off, stop making me laugh, and leave me alone. I want to be miserable for awhile.

[Pilchard]

Being an auld arse is noticing at the top of the page that there was a programme on about Maradonna, nearly treading on the cat while you look for the remote and spill tea on the table as you lob the cushion off the sofa cos you think thats where the remote might be, then when you find it you cant find the programme even though you hoped it might be on +1 or gold or whatever the channel calls its repeat channel..

Then realizing the post is  3 weeks old.

That and using long sentences without adequate punctuation, even though you punctuate your texts.

[Pollywood]

Get to bed, relax and go for it. You can do it Fatty good luck.

[Terry de Niro]

Fuck off will you, it's because things are so shite that I'm finally doing it. Should have done it years ago... but story of our lives, eh.

Anyway, half an hour on the old youtube tunes, and bed. Who knows, could end up driving Nelly Wilson's bus on his next tour.

You kept that quiet eh mate.
If it's any consolation I took it some years back.
I just fancied doing it so I could drive up the arse of knobheads on the M6.

Cost me a fortune and the feller who taught me was fucking hopeless. Took me on all the possible test routes around Merseyside. Only to find out the day before my test that it was going to be in Manchester.
On the day of the test he took me around the Manchester test route he 'knew' we would be taking. Then he had me drive through the City centre so he could whistle at birds. Only to send me up a street that was too narrow to get the wagon through, right in the middlle of Manchester. I had to reverse it out onto Deansgate.....fucking knobhead.
I did the test but the examiner had a different idea of which route he actually 'knew' we were doing. Which obviously completely different to the one I'd been on.
The hill start was done during bin collection day on the South face of Mt Everest.
I failed for palming the steering wheel, which they didn't do in Mancland but apparently was fine on Merseyside......the examiner was a complete and utter twat.

I deffo passed my 2nd.....but got failed for not keeping my right turn indicator indicator on while I was in a right hand turn only filter lane at traffic lights and the 3rd test I drove like a combination of the 3 stooges, Postman Pat on the Specsavers advert and Mr Bean.

If you're now waiting for me to say I passed.....you're in for a long fucking wait.

I jibbed it after that.

Good luck though mate.
A little tip though. Make sure you have Vodka on your cornflakes in the morning and not Jim Beam. You want to stay alert.

[the 92A]

Seen this has turned into the HGV drivers thread, one of us arl arses has to step up to the platewith a pass. I've passed me HGV but it's not for the class One articulated, it's just a poxy class three, hopefully tomorrow we'll have a proper lorry driver on the thread.

[Terry de Niro]

I can just imagine the fat one bombing down the motorway whilst singing the Yorkie advert.

[cowtownred]

No idea about this one.... best of luck in your test Fats xx   You seriously deserve it mate.  When you off?  Let us know how it goes.

All hands only want to know when and where, so they can avoid it tomorrow. Glad i'm nowhere near that Bournemouth, the bizzies will be shutting roads and allsorts if they here about this. No wonder he kept it quiet. Mind you after the last few days there's a few on here who'd accuse him of being a suicide trucker if they knew he was any where near lorries

[shanklyboy]

Couldn't resist.

Fuckin funny that. Sadly though, we bow has the same amount of strings as it did this morning. Oh well, not the end of the world, and nobody was maimed or too pyschologically damaged.

[The Gulleysucker]

I assume the news is not good. Cheer up, you can always try again. Be positive.

[dnkw]

Unlucky mate - you can do it.

[Terry de Niro]

HGV positive?

Unlucky FS, you obviously didn't overtake on the motorway without indicating, and then hog the middle lane.
