Whitey Grandad Posted 10 December, 2014 Share Posted 10 December, 2014 Thanks, I was there! Was it really 20 years ago? Seeing Le Tiss again makes me very tearful, will we ever see his like again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 10 December, 2014 Share Posted 10 December, 2014 Thanks for posting that. We ought to have drawn at least, as the penalty for Shearer was farcical and Charlton had a stonewall penalty denied him. Interesting to be reminded that refereeing was ever sh*te.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 10 December, 2014 Share Posted 10 December, 2014 Question, what was the reaction like to Shearer leaving? It was a bit before my time, and I don't think I've ever really seen anyone make much mention of it. I'm guessing he wasn't as loathed for it as Lovren/Lallana?

F*****g hell, 20 years ago, unbelievable. I did like our mid-90s side, Le Tiss in his prime and a fair few characters in the mix. Got thrashed away a couple of times a season, god knows what the reaction would be like on here to some of our away performances, different era I guess.

I left after 20mins at 5-0 and was back in my local in Stafford for full time. I'd been on the ale and banging a MILF the night before and slept in the car all the way there and back again.

You can't use the term "MILF" for something that happened before the term was invented in 1999, you'll create a wormhole in time, or something.

Seriously though, I think any ill-feeling towards Shearer at his leaving was diluted by all the animosity aimed at Branfoot. From my not-particularly involved recall of it, people just accepted that he was going to make loads of money from going to moneybags Blackburn and accepted it. Weird to think what passed for big-spending back then when you look at how much Saints have spent in the past 6 months alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was my first exposure to football players being less than honourable with each other, and I was horrified. You don't forget watching England win an away test, especially when a stranger tells you during the lunch break that Saints won 5-4. Monkou got a hat-trick. Le Tiss scored in the last minute and you call him a fecking liar. We were as good as relegated when I flew out, having seen them lose at home to Oldham, Chelsea (a) and Man City in the space of 5 days over Easter.

That make me not like him after that. Anyone remember it? What game was it? That said, I like Shearer now. Shearer’s an interesting one for me, Lou. He got his career of to a great start with that hat-trick against Arsenal; but, IIRC, after that, he actually struggled quite a bit to get on the score sheet; and for a period he was eclipsed by MLT, Rod Wallace and Rideout. But there was something about him that kinda marked him out as being something special, and he quickly became one of my favourite Saints’ players. Even when Shearer was still very young, I remember betting my brother-in-law £10 that he would one day play for England; and when he made his debut, I don’t think I could have been more nervous for him even if he’d been my own son! I was so pleased when his England career took off. Then all too soon he was gone from Saints. I still appreciated his performances for England, but I grew to dislike the arrogant (imo) figure he became for Blackburn and Newcastle. Great player, though, and not a bad pundit, imo.

You're right about that. He burst onto the scene and then struggled a little bit after that. When we played 4-3-3 Rideout was usually the chosen one. But ironically it was under branfoot that Shearer came on, had a decent season under him that got him his move to Blackburn. Strange to think that one of of England greatest ever strikers would actually progress under one of our worst ever managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember sending a very angry letter to Rupert Lowe straight after one heavy defeat at Newcastle, and then I sent him a more sober and measured one a day later. To be fair to O’ Rupes, he answered both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
