Have you ever had a good slap?

Picking up on the ejection theme, have you ever had a good kicking before, during or after a game?

I've had three that I can remember:

1. Milk Cup final reply versus the RS in Manchester. My mate and I wandered off and got jumped by Man City fans (they even gave us a card - nice touch).
2. Birmingham City away. My mate and I again wandered off and were followed by what seemed like 10 people or more. Fortunately they were reasonably nice to me, after they had stolen my new jacket.
3. This one I'm still sore about. A big fat get of a policeman on horseback give me a really good kicking after an away match at Old Trafford. He pulled half my hair out. Moron. :lol:
 

When i say coming close, I mean that I recognized the two situations developing and extricated myself from those situations before they could have developed further.

One in particular sticks out.

About 10 years ago, a couple of friends were with me in my car as we were driving back home after a Christmas party. It was late so we decided to go through a Jack In The Box drive through. We weren't in a "bad area" by any stretch.

As we were pulling into the parking lot of the JITB, I noticed several young men just hanging out in front of the restaurant. I also recognized that they took a quick notice of us.

As I pulled into the drive through line, I gave myself several feet of space between me and the car in front of us. I then kept an eye on my driver side mirror which could see the edge of the front.

Sure enough, two of them come walking around the corner, heading straight for my car. Just to let you know, I had a 9MM under the passenger side floormat which I kept for protection. Needless to say, my two friends were oblivious to this and were still engaged in conversation.

As they got closer, I pulled out of the line, went flying around the restaurant, and exited the premises through another parking area. While exiting, I could see the front of the restaurant from the other side. Sure enough, three different men were walking toward us from that side. We sped off at that point with my friends asking what was going on.

They two guys could have been coming up to bum a cigarrette or to ask for spare change. I don't think so. I think they meant to do something other than that. Since we were safe in our car and I hadn't rolled the windows down at that point, I'm guessing one of them might have been armed, which would have rendered our protection in the car moot.

One thing is certain. There is no doubt in my mind that if we had stayed in that line, something bad would have happened.
 
Well, many, many years ago, me and my mates used to go for long drives to different parts of the country, petrol didnt cost an arm and a leg in them days and it was something better than hanging around the streets.

So anyway, this 1 time on our way back from somewere we thought it would be fun to drive thru MossSide, simply cos there had been a lot of shootings and we thought we were Gs!

So we driving thru this little estate and we stop at some lights, next to us there is a few young lads standing around, so my mate winds the window down and shouts something obscene. So then we have a little slanging match, so they start coming towards the car, now there are more of them, but we were all handy lads, so we was about to get out the car and have it with them. As they come jogging over, we notice 1 of them waving something at us, as they get closer we realise its a fecking gun!!! Ive never seen my mate drive home as fast, i think we got from Manchester to Birkenhead in 10minutes.

Needless to say, this was indeed a lesson learned. Thankfully its a lesson i can recover from.
 
Best Shlap I ever had was off my dear old Irish gran. Hey she could throw a punch so if you knew what was best you got the [Poor language removed] out the way. You wound this woman up at your peril.

In that situation, always best going with gut feeling.
 

Stoke and Nottingham and nearly at Manchester station never badly hurt just bruised I would like to say at this point you should see the other guy but that would be erm lying:lol::lol::lol:Manchester was funny in the end, I left my mates to go to the toilet and as I was coming out four chaps pushed me back in and I thought he we go .then this big in every sense of the word black guy who had stood close to me at Glawdys st for years with out ever speaking appeared and proceeded to kick the [Poor language removed] out of them.I felt ashamed after when thanking him asked why he never spoke to any of us at the match and he replied that two of them were racist which to be honest I had not noticed,but after that I heared a few remarks from them that proved his point although one was married to a african girl and had mixed race kids:(
 
a copper in the enclosure when it was a terrace, playing telford in the fa cup and it was a full house, they came in with batons wading and shoved evryone back to the 1/2 way line. i gota whack on the back of the head and as i looked over my shoulder to see if he'd gone, the [Poor language removed] spread my nose across my face......i gobbed a big bloody gob all downhis back through the railings later on.

We won 3-0 if I remember rightly. I got into that match for nothing. It was about 3.05 p.m. and there was serious congestion at the away end. The police just grabbed everyone and the gate was opened. My mate and I just jumped in with the Telford supporters. Saved about £2.40 that day. It was a good match as well (y)
