Funny Stories Of Derby Day Vrs Burnley

...cast your minds back to pre Jack days.

Cast your mind back Zak.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it 25 years since you last beat us? In fact in those 25 years you've managed to be in the same division as us on two occasions. Nice one.

You must be very proud that we still actually give a flying (please don't use that F word again Bob) about you.

burnley - look forward to next Sunday - your nightmare will continue.

"....and it's, No, Nay, Never....". (Well, not in the league anyway...)

WHOOOOOOOOO!!!....Blackburn Rovers fc trembles with fear Zak lad!!!

Not a derby game but cast your minds back to pre Jack days.

B******* 0 Hull City 1 (A Payton)

Hull v Blackburn is not a derby and that game was not pre Jack. It was the season we came in so about half a season after he had started to put his money into the club.

Early 60.s ---- fan climbs over the wall from the Darwen end and has a go at the Burnley goalkeeper Adam Blacklaw. Adam puts him on the seat of his pants picks him up and flings him back into the crowd.

ooooh, the alcy alco/padiham peado once scored against Rovers.. I think Lee Dixon once did to, but what happened to him after you let him go on a FREE.

I'm getting a little old now, but who was it who scored against you for West Brom in the early nineties ??? You should know the name by now, it wasnt the first time.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Scored against them and promptly ran the full length of the Longside to celebrate.Good 'owd Simon.

[Friarsnig]

Rumour had it that he was wearing a Rovers shirt underneath his Baggies top which he flashed to the monkeys in the longside.

Simon later denied this.

I know a Dingle who is able to communicate, and he says he definately did flash blue and white.

Anyone know for sure?

Not a Derby day memory. But does anyone remember the Rovers fan who always wore a Scumley hat in the Blackburn End.

Thats right a Dingles hat but with a strategically placed plastic Turd on the top.

Priceless.

i could tell you a story about the time we kidnapped a burnley fan,but even 20 odd years later we may still face charges

Its interesting that 25-30yrs on you get a banning order for doing relatively nothing apart from hanging around in a group who may or may not cause trouble if the situation arose.

I'm in no way glorifying this incident and the driver got jailed but what about the lad from Accy who saw a burnley fan walking down the road and decided to run him down, his crime? wearing a burnley shirt.

Talk about losing touch with reality.

The driver got jailed?? Why did he not have a Tax sticker or MOT or something?

What makes you think it was Plastic? It could have been the one that fell out of EiT's Plastic Cup

Coventry 0 Dingles 2

I don't think beating Coventry is anything to be proud of! From what I heard about their performance on Saturday our school kids team would have given Burnley more of a run for their money!

[cravenblue]

my first real tatse of the hatred was in the early 80's. dad took me to turf moor with his mates and aprked on cats whiskers car park. after gamed we were walking back when some dingles started chasing us. my da dpicked me up got to car park threw me in the car and told me to keep it locked. i looked out of back of the car watching him and his mates banjoing the dingles. great fun!

Could have been the same escort to burnley barracks after the game walking down past the college and the pub on the corner was full of knuckle draggers goading the Blackburn escort walking past. Police moved the escort on as a minor altercation took place after someone in the pub tried to throw a bucket of 'beer' out of the top window, at least i think it was beer

At the back of the escort where i was stood, the inside of the bin, which may still stand outside the very pub was despatched through the window much to the horror on the landlord who was remonstrating to the police and it was pointed out it was his own fault for allowing the bucket of p**s to be thrown from his top window.

The train had a rather bad odour on the way home but the first carriage was surprisingly empty apart from a selected few

CLB,

I wonder if the same slapper had returned to t'turf in 88 as a local 'lady' was hoisted aloft on the longside only to be arrested for offending the away support with her tattooed breasts!

A few minutes later a lad was hoisted aloft with no shirt on and balaclava to avoid detection as he aimed a piece of concrete into the rovers section. Wonder why the lad that returned it never went to the same extremes.

Happy days.

I was on that train Gav, well amusing.

Highlight for me was when we were being excorted back to the station.

My mate was caught full on the head by a horse, the white gloopy foam covered all his hair !

[LeftWinger]

I remember the lad walking into the lamp post. How the coach full of us laughed!

Another funny moment was Ronnie Jepson walking back towards the tunnel after warming up. He tried to do a "look at how cool I am" spit and managed to gob all down his tracksuit. Class.

I saw the guy walk in to the lamp post too! Absolutely class! Then when the Dingle tried to look all hard after warming up, and spat all over himself- brilliant.

I remember trying to get in the Rovers half of the longside in late '82. The gates head been shut and the police were directing Rovers fans round to the Beehole End. There must have been hundreds of Rovers trying to get in and there were bottles and rocks flying back and forth as we did. Needless to say, fights were breaking out all over the Beehole and me and my mates decided to take a low profile near the front. Within minutes a perimiter gate had been opened by some other Rovers fans and dozens of us spilled onto the touchline from where we were escorted right round the pitch and squeezed somehow into the longside. The highlight of this was the opportunity to verbally abuse the Burnley bench from point blank range, an opportunity which was siezed upon by many! I also remember an old codger, must have been in his 80's, going absolutely mental at us as we passed him in the Bob Lord stand.

Then there was the "swapping of bricks" ceremony which took place at the back of the longside at half time.

Walking back through Burnley was a bit hectic after!

Ive heard this one off family. A steward opened gate, BANG... everyone in!

First taste of hatred was in the seventies and this bloke with what seemed like a stetson on his head jumped over the small wall along the riverside and straight into the Darwen end with fists and feet flying into the greeting Burnley fans - an absolute raving lunatic, i couldnt believe it, does anyone remember this or know who the person was.

The last game at Tiny Moor when a group close to me started chanting ....one dad between you, you've only one dad between you as the Dingles began to enter the ground.

What about the Dingle who ran on to the pitch at the start of the second half last time round then realised what a fool he was making of himself then started chatting to lardlad Payton with the Rovers fans chanting ...who let the dingle out... who,who .

The lad in question was a regular in the Clifton arms and a mate of a mate. The regulars had a wip round to pay his fine after the police carted him off if its the same lad. Later he worked in the Jubilee

On the day in question the Darwen was obviously packed with upwards of 5000 burnley fans, when he charged the corner nearest the riverside all the burnley fans backed off to man, they must have thought he had bomb and then fortunately for him he was rescued by the police and carted off.

NUTTER

[JAL]

Cheer Gav, his first name isnt Tez is it ?

[longsiders1882]

Wow bricks, coins, guys in stetsons, chasing Burnley fans up brunshaw road, sneaking of trains to go 6 against 1, remind again who are the supposed violent ones

[longsiders1882]

quick question for you hard lads - where were you all when Norman Jones got on the pitch and nearly chined one of your players?

[blue phil]

I was hiding behind Tez's stetson .....

What does chining mean anyway ? Does it have homosexual connotations perchance ?

[Claytons Left Boot]

Sod that question - the real question is how did young Norman get out of Calderstones?
