Best threat you've had playing sunday league?

[Blue Punter]

At primary school (Friars) we used to play St Josephs outside their school in the bear pit at Ordsall. On the Tuesday, I played for the 3rd year and both captains accidentally clashed heads. Claret everywhere, their lad had 2 shiners like a panda bear.

The next day I was one of three picked for the 4th year at St Joeys and about 200 kids turned out, looking for the 3rd year kid who'd busted their lads nose. Of the three younger lads, our captain didnt make it as he had a big lump on his bonce. The second guy was a black guy, which left me. Word soon got round I'd played the day earlier Every time I got the ball, I got booed. Every time I took a throw in, I got shoved in the back.

When we went 3-1 up, they all started singing to the tune of the Piranhas song: "Friars sing, don't know why, cos after the match, they're gonna die..."

I played a 25 yard backpass, which rolled through the keepers legs into the net for an o.g.
Cue even more piss-taking in my direction.

We won 3-2 and afer the game, our keeper admitted he had to let the ball in, as someone behind the net pulled a knife and threatened to stab him.

Just to top it off, we all got chased home after the match. Terrifying experience, but a good grounding for Sunday League.

Overall a good 3 points then ;)

Once had a telly thrown onto the pitch from the flats at darnhill.

That was our home pitch for a bit. There's a nice little image of the place on the link if you scroll down to the match report against Holcombe (I'd put th image up but can't at work). It was nice for the joyriders to burn out the car next to the pitch rather than on it.

Ah, the memories. Had some right old times up there. There was always a crew drinking crates and looking for trouble every time i played there. And that big boozer was never the friendliest for post match beer.

pulling a knife out on the keeper :O

that reminds me of playing against fletcher moss when they were the dogs bollocks, they always use to threaten and the parents would have long trench coats on so was pretty intimidating to go and play against them...

but it always puzzled me cox thye didnt need to intimidate coz they were brilliant, well my age group was

Gotta love Sunday League. When I played or the school team I tackled some lad and he ended up on top of me as the momentum of the sliding tackle brought us both to the deck. This lad didn't say anthing, he just growled like a lion in my face. He was a bit unstable and known as a bit of a psycho though.
Sunday League and another sliding tackle on some porker resulted in him stamping on my shins. I got to my feet and squared up to the clown and he said if I did anything he'd arrest me. Turns out he was a copper. A fat copper, the best kind.

i used to play sat and sun, on saturdays we used to play Heywood St James who had a player called Nobby who had his front teeth missing (like the real Nobby) and he used to growl and roar thinking he was scaring you, it wasn't him was it?

No, the last I heard of the guy I'm on about was that he got put away for putting a screwdriver through someone's head. I think I know who you're on about!

Haha Sounds about right. I think the pub you are referring to is either the Highlander or teh Criterion. I rarely ventured to the Cri, which is no longer standing. Highlander, well I'll only go in there when I'm with the tarmac lads.

Not really a threat this,but I thought I would tell you about my stepdad who was well known in the Craven and District league for the amount of times he was sent off and his reaction to them.
He was once booked for a late tackle,so he ripped up the refs book!! He was then sent off,so he poked the ref in the eye!!!(he got a two year ban for that) Another time he was sent off,he marched straight to his car and drove onto the pitch trying to run the ref over,in the end he smashed into a the half time drinks trolley before speeding off up the road,only problem was he had forgotten that I was there and he was ment to be taking me home(I was a kid at the time) so he came back 10 minutes later,parked up in the middle of the pitch and shouted"get in this fookin car!!" What a guy!!!
Oh and he played in the same team as a young Ricky Holden.

Quality. Just a shame he didnt hit Ricky Holden as he sped around the pitch.

Mine is a bit of an essay so... sorry.

I'm 15. 2 Years ago, i was playing for my team, (which i no longer play for). We had a player in our team, Number 10, cocky arsehole... everyone seemed to worship him like a god even though he was a complete and utter arse. Mouth, loud and ignorent. One of the reasons i left the team to be honest.

One game, we are 3-1 down to a team who just liked to make fun, pin point and scrutinize everything from the way we played, to the fact that one of our players had his shoe lace undone on his left boot. It approaching full time and by then we had pulled it back to 3-3. When the "Number 10" on our team goes in for a stupidly high tiackle on the goal keeper of the opposite team. The golaie, doesn't like this. He walks over to "Number 10" and punches him in the face. "Number 10" goes completely nuts, malls him into the floor and more or less knocks him out. The referee abandones the game and gives.. "Number 10" a red card and issues his mum a £30 fine. At which point the mum's face turns red, and she pushes the ref to the ground... She then pulls "Number 10" over to the ref just so he can yell at him. Yelling, "YOU CHEATING B******". (Some of the decisions hadn't gone our way).

At which point, the chairman from the other team walks over, (massive guy, huge chest, shorts.. proper football guy). And squares up to a child (Number 10). At which point a group of the opposition parents ran over in a "chaaarge" sort of thing. Both sides of parents are threatening to kill eachother and in the midst of the shhouting... I heard this.. "If none of you stop I'll have to murder your pets!"... i left a week later...
