15 years ago. What. A. Fucking. Day 

[Pidge]

Tom Cleverly is the manager of Watford.

I'm taking my girl to her first match tonight. Here she is last night in my.old.shirt from 92.

[deiseach]

I can't be doing with the Kop any more.

Not having paper ticket stubs. Scanning in on them barcode things doesn’t feel right.

I remember watching this at home, my missus upstairs in early labour saying we need to get in the car to the women's hospital, we went just after the final whistle.

 

My youngest was born in the early hours after.

Paying £2.80 (or something close to that) for a child's ticket on the Kop. To watch the current champions.

My eldest was born in the early hours the day before he scored on his debut against Chelsea. Mrs Tash kicked me out of the maternity ward to go and watch it in the pub next to the hospital.

Ha ha, you cheeky cunt. It's bad enough I can remember £2.80 tickets.

Just saying mate. Haha

 

I stood on the old Kop a couple of times as a kid (hope you weren’t there) but I’d give anything to be in that sway as an adult. Nothing beats going the match.

I'm older than Alonso.

I was 11 and remember watching it in my dad’s pub and everyone red and blue dancing outside afterwards. 
 

How times change.

£6.30 for a Kop Season Ticket.

Speaking of the old standing Kop, its coming up to 30 years since it was demolished.

We're not going. I've been laid up all week with norovirus or something similar and my optimism has just been beaten by realism that I'm just not up to tye drive.

 

She's not arsed. I'm gutted.

We used to go ‘borrowing’ empty beer crates, then transport them via National Express to Anfield. 
 

Queued up outside, then onto the centre of the Kop as soon as the turnstiles opened. Positioned ourselves in front of a barrier and stood on the crates so we could get a decent spec, whilst being ‘in amongst it.

 

It was magical. 

 

As time passed, we moved to the top left hand corner of the Kop then, once the seats came, to the Upper Centenary. 
 

These days the idea of actually going to a match rarely appeals.

 

Modern football is a bollocks and I’m a miserable ageing cunt. It’s not a marriage made in heaven. 
 

I’d still shag it on the side on occasion mind. Barcelona would have been great, one or two others as well. 

[Trumo]

Black football boots. They seem to be every other colour but black these days.

 

More matches used to be played simultaneously, rather than staggered to create a 'Super Sunday' hype-fest.

 

Jumpers for goalposts. Marvellous.

Sometimes you just want a nice sit down.

At least you’ve got something to help you remember your youngest’s birthday.

And we reckon Klopp's kids are playing at a young age!
