What's yours?  :)

Probably knocking my glasses of my own face celebrating a goal. I know, I'm wild.

I fell asleep at home to Millwall in a cup tie once  :-[

Histon away. I was just fucking mortified by the whole thing

Probably getting the shit beaten out of me against Swansea on NYE and then rolling into the CGH as if nothing had happened with a black eye, broken nose etc... I believe Yeovil Red and Spacey were particularly tickled. Was just a pup who'd had too much booze then, not the hard motherfucker I am today...

Went to watch Wycombe Vs Runcorn in the the FA trophy final in about 1993, Martin O'Neil was their manager back then and one of my friends got so excited when Wycombe scored their 4th goal that he pissed himself.  We are not talking a small wet patch here we are talking five pints of beer and not going to the toilet for a couple of hours pissing himself.  Once he started he just didn't stop.

I fell/got pushed down 3 rows of seats when we scored once :(

Mine would have to be chucked out of gillingham a few years ago pissed up on my first TEF day out.

most embarrasing moment in a footabll ground was not getting let in to a football ground

Haha! Remember it well.

Mine is probably my drunken antics at Hartlepool. Followed by being ejected from Walsall for the heinous crime of throwing a stewards hat.

chucked out for running on the pitch from the stratton bank

I'd forgotten all about that until now. Thanks for reminding me :)

Or was I thinking of a different time? Did you have a fat lip?

he got smacked in the eye outside the arkells by some 30 year old swansea fan, funny thing was dmr who was about 15 at the time, was pissed and giving it the big one to this swansea bloke inside the ground accross the divide and signalled to the bloke to meet him outside. silly silly cunt. :)

You two fucking hoolies.

Nah, you've been more embarassing than that on some of the days when you did get in.

Franchise new years day springs to mind :)

 :-[

I reckon mine is standing behind Clayton Ince’s goal with Samdy Gray and hurling drunken abuse at him.

That or stacking it at Brentford this season because drunken Rich couldn’t support my over exuberant celebrations (or my pie belly).

It was a coppers hat

hmmmmmmm not sure I can think of one?

Bristol City @ Home - Broke a seat and gave it to the steward, subsequently ejected

Mansfield Away - They score 2 minutes in, gave the wanker sign to Mansfield Fans, was taken away by 2 coppers 2 minutes into the game

Hereford Away - Incredibly Drunk had most of the mini bus wanting to twat me.

Walsall Away (any town fan not had an experience here) - Giving dogs abuse to Mark Kinsella who then came over shook my hand before taking a corner.

Mansfield at Home - Ran on the pitch to celebrate promotion at the end of the game despite winning fuck all apart from the match.

I am just an embarassment really! soapy tit wank

Giving dog abuse to John Terrys brother at Yeovil (who had been transfered during the summer!).......nobody said anything for 20 minutes..

A mate of mine, who was a big Kerslake fan, was cheering on Kerslake all the way through a match once. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he wasn't playing.

I was on the pitch then too.  :D

Broke a seat at Villa (v Milwall) on a youth football club day out. Skived off school next 2 days to complete Graphic Design coursework. Get back to school and a teacher asked if I had been to prison.

Turns out my mate told everyone I had got done for football violence because the steward mistakenly thought I was going to lob said broken seat. I'm not sure if that counts as embarrassing for me really or the severely gullible teacher.

Got hit in the face by the ball in the warmup before our last game against stockport in our championship winning season in 96. About 2 mins later my nose started bleeding. It was the first time i've ever sat behind the goal and taken my eye off the ball, so sods law was bound to kick in. To make it worse it was only about 20 mins before kickoff so the ground was pretty full and saw all of it.

I have a few that all involve Sussex

Spill 'em!


Was that in the Town End.

Actually I don't think it was you I am thinking of, seems a bit too long ago. Seen a few belters hit people plumb on the nose.

Rocking Robin pelted the ball at me before the start of a game as I was walking up the stairs in the TE. Hit me on the arse and everyone cheered. I hate that mascot cunt

putting the wrong score on the scoreboard and not noticing.

being thrown out at hereford away for having alcohol on my breath despite being teetotal.

and i've probably made a complete tit of myself most games, those two stick out in my mind.

I saw Sean O'Hanlon so drunk once he had weed himself and was rolling around in his own wee and sick on the floor

It wasnt in a football ground but I felt embarressed watching it!!! especially as he was the captain at the time!

probably everytime matt hewlett had a scoring chance(which was remarkably often unfortunately)

We used to call him "the clock frightener"

I dont have one.

Ralphy does though :)

You missed out stalking Clough Jr, made me cringe..

...and the time you got interviewed after the Chester away game.

i still recall that screamer he scored against notts co at home one sunny day in 2003!

A Jimmy Davis inspired strike. Whole team was fucking awesome that day. Doesn't seem all that long ago

We were immense. I still remember Jimmy Davis' mum speaking over the tannoy before the game, rounding off with a big "COME ON SWINDON!"

:D  I was being a right tool!

Yeah, Si Pie, I think I had a fat lip too... certainly recall it impeding my drinking at the time.

That was a shank. The one he 'scored' against Brentford a few years later, where the goalie was done by the lack of pace, and went through his legs was a Hewlett 'classic'.

Telling the bloke behind me to shut the fuck up and stop pushing then turning round to see it was a copper...and unfortuanatly being ejected v Oxford for standind up in the Arkells and my daughters headmistress waving at me as i was led away in an armlock.

Ha ha I was going to post that as my one. Falling over at Brentford celebrating Hutchinson's goal. Good times though.

My 'applause' effort at Walsall a few seasons back. Bastards, it even got filmed.

I'm not ashamed of Machete Day though. I really wish I did have one to embed in that fascist steward.

When my now wife fainted in the extreme heat on Stratton Bank against Barnsley about a hundred years ago.  It wasn't embarrassing at the time as I didn't notice - well it wasn't a bad game!

But rest assured it gets dragged out and exaggerated at every opportunity.

I splashed out for a seat the next time I took her.

I remember when this lad sat a few seats away from me had a nose bleed and I had to take him to hospital.

Pre season game wasn't it?  :)

Yeah it was the WBA game

I can't recall having any embarrassing moments at the football ground, although i do recall when some lad proposed to his Misses on the pitch at half time, and a load of people started singing, "does she take it up the arse?" That amused me and i expect he was embarrassed.

Mine's really lame.

I had a really, really bad headache watching Swindon play at QPR. The noise and jumping up and down was killing me, it was so bad that I had to go to the first aid people, get some pain killers and have a lie down somewhere quiet for 20 minutes. In my defence, the headache was a result of trying too hard whilst playing in a game against QPR fans earlier the same day.

I love those videos of failed proposals at games, got to be one of the most embarrassing things that can ever happen to anyone - for both parties. Even funnier when the commentators start taking the piss and laughing.

I managed to break my ankle at a game - on the terracing. It wasn't particularly embarassing at the time though - just pretty painful!

Swindon Town 1 : 3 Oxford United

But, this was over thirty years ago.

Also, some years ago the town had a free-admittance friendly game on a Sunday, several individuals were arrested trying to get in "for nothing?" behind the Stratton Bank.  Being a town fan can be embarrassing at times.

Oxford away FA cup game?

Turning up at half time of Charlton away when they played at west ham, think it was about 92, completely pissed. Got in for free but then strolled into terrace, sat on barrier, fell off and got thrown out.

Mine was when I was actually playing in a 6-a-side tournament at the County Ground about 5-6 years ago.

In front of around 200 people in the Arkells Stand (including the likes of Paul Bodin and some other ex players who were also involved in the tournament).

I was running toward goal, the ball was played through to me, I was approaching the goal, one on one with the keeper, an almost certain goal.

I swung at the ball with my right foot, however I slightly clipped the ball with my left foot during the swing knocking the ball away. I completely missed the ball and fell right on my arse much to the amusement of the 200 people watching, and I get reminded of that moment on a regular basis.
Luckily no-one (to my knowledge) was filming it.

Yep, that has to be up there.

My most most embarrassing moment has to be Rovers away in our League Two season when we had the chance to get promoted. Someone (incorrectly) told me Franchise were losing, so I started a merry jig up and down the front of the stand. Mex collared me and asked me what the fuck I was doing, to which I replied that Franchise were losing and we were going up. He corrected me and I sat down feeling like a right tool.

You know what i think you could be right there. Certainly rings a bell.  :)

you sure that was me? really cant remember that?

I'm sure it was. But I was extremely pissed the time.

I suppose being evicted three times at Swindon matches is quiet embarrassing. Millwall and Charlton away in the 70s, West Ham at home in the 90s. At Millwall I just walked straight back in.

sorry about that

I have had a recollection.

I fell down some stairs once, i think it was walsall away. Got forcefully removed from the bogs at Walsall in the same game for craftily smoking in the bogs.

Had a wank in the town end.

Arrrgghhh at leats someone corrected you!!! at least you never ran into the changing rooms with an ITV west camera crew to contratulate Paul Sturrock and get totally bollocked by that sloop man!!!!
I got punched in the back of the head that day by some muppet sat behind me and I think I was a bit dazed - I then remember asking Paul Sturrock if he would wear a kilt the day he got promoted to which he just looked me dead in the eye and went "NO"

OK maybe some embarressing stuff has happened to me
 :-[

I could tell you but Sussex won't remember any of them.  Therefore he would say they weren't true but a few snippets

Missing his seat when he sat down whilst holding a burger (ketchup everywhere)
Going to the loo then coming back and being so drunk you can't find your seat
tripping up the steps in front of whole townend
Falling down the steps and nearly falling over the barrier onto the pitch in front of whole townend
Getting thrown out for not pissing straight in TE toilets

You forgot about the time the cops had to help you get him into your car after a game

Lies! Anyway everybody's done it.

It was before the game Fred..

What? You had a wank in the town end? A wank? In the town end? Was it embarrassing because you got caught? Did you have an audience? Are you on the sex offenders register?

i've always thought he was a wanker ;)

nah, tongue in cheek bazza. got to keep the post count up ;)

fuck you you grumpy bastard! :)

I've changed my mind. The most embarrassing thing I've done (Frequently) at matches is standing up and shouting things like "Offside!" and "Handball!" and "Foul!"

When, to everyone else in the ground, it clearly wasn't.

Now that is embarrassing.

Cast your mind back to a Prem game at home to Everton.
We scored a goal which was disallowed for an offside that only my brother didnt see.....he leapt in the air screaming "Yesssssss!, get the fuck in there!!!" while everybody laughed ...i still do now!!


Mind you that bloke at Northampton who thought they had equalised at Sixfields was better, he kept hitting his son away when he was trying to tell him it was disallowed!!!

You're all amateurs.

I set myself on fire once.

A pure act of non-violent protest?  Or a moronic incident with a lighter or fag?

c) all of the above.

i remember sitting next to you. it's a miracle you didn't go up in flames you boozehound

I am beerwolf.

Oh yeah and then he asked me 3 hours later why we weren't at football.

Oh and the time he attacked me in the CGH as my hair was curly and I hadn't straightened it.

Oh and when village had to take him to the loo at crystal palace :/

soiled?

She's such a drama queen!
