Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

I was eight and still remember my dad coming up to my bedroom to tell me the score. That sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, probably the first time I'd experienced it, followed by the tears!

Should have quit there and then, would have saved a lot of heartache, but the occasional good times make it all worthwhile

OMG. There are loads of us - how depressing.

We should start a self help group. Oh, we already have!

I remember phoning a results service from a phone box in Llandaff North like it was yesterday. Like you said still suffer PTSD from that match.

Ps can anyone remember the results line that I would have rung. It was something like teletext but on the phone.

I remember phoning clubcall from a phone booth in Ireland on the day of my wedding - that was 1991. It cost a fortune only to hear that we had lost 2-1 at home to Hereford. Put a real dampener on the day

Sorry, WAY off topic.

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

You accusing someone ELSE of derailing a thread?!

Now that IS funny

Look at your recent interactions with me and you tell me what you are trying to achieve

There's a matchday thread going on, remember what you said in this thread

https://www.ccmb.co.uk/showthread.php?457314-Team-for-Sunderland-and-score-predictions&p=5410241

"Blimey. Just relax!

Not everyone want to trawl through long match threads especially when they often get derailed by petty squabbling."

When there was no squabbling going on and someone was trying to make something out of nothing.

The grown up thing for you to do here would be to disengage with me and leave it go and let the thread carry on

You've tried, and failed, again, so leave it.

You're still trying are you.

If I can't remember 20 years ago how are others having cinematic like memories from 50 years ago..

I'm with you on this. I'm almost 62 and can remember very little detail from my childhood or twenties but my older brother talks about all sorts, including football matches we went to. I just look blank and say "if you say so".

I can remember going away to Wrexham..not whoninwas with or what the score was just that I went don't remember anything about the play off game with QPR apart from the goal at the end, and that's only because it gets played every so often. I don't know where I was sat, it may have been behind the goal, noise was unreal I remember that much but as for any details..zilch.

In the 70s, great team. Toshack sold to Liverpool approx 100k Warboys in. Crunch game!
Sheffield Utd. Lost 5-1. I cried. Hopefully hoorah this time. Another crunch game as are they all?

Billy Sharp is on 249 league goals. He hasn’t scored in a Championship game since mid-December. Ominous.

On the flip side I find it odd that you went to a place but can't remember who it was with, if you were behind the goal or not etc.

What bits do you actually remember? Just the name of the place and nothing outside of that? Maybe others remember like that but usually my memories are just that. Actual things that happened. Some more than others but details, as fuzzy as they might be. I wouldn't look at say Sheffield United this Saturday and think Sheffield, I've been there, with literally no background information. That seems peculiar to me.

This is the right way to be thinking about it. Six weeks time forgetting this season ever happened

I went with my dad to Wrexham, as all away trips back in the day, I was just thinking about the wider picture who was on the coach etc I'd have no clue.

As for the play off game, family, but again, there was a whole day out and I can't remember where we went pre game and who we were with.

If I was going to Sheffield for example, I'd know I'd been there and where the ground was, what pubs to go to, it's the same as going back to Ibiza and knowing where to go on the piss..
I just can't see how someone can remember 50 years ago like it was this morning

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

I’m willing to bet for a lot of us alcohol has something to do with the fact that we can remember details from our childhood more vividly than those in our 20’s and 30’s.

Memory is a funny thing though, there have been plenty of studies that show it’s nowhere near as reliable as we think it is, even for events we would swear we remember photographically. I have some very vivid memories of 9/11 that don’t line up at all with the fact I was in the UK and the time zone and time of day it happened, probably living most of the 20 years following in the US and hearing Americans talk about it have warped things somewhere upstairs.

And if that doesn’t get us even more off topic, I don’t know what will…

That is seriously weird.

I can remember loads of details from the QPR play off final (who I went with, where we sat, where we met beforehand, my boys when we scored, what we did afterwards) and I even went to Wrexham in 1993 with my Dad and can recall actual things at that he said to me, as well as the fact that we won comfortably (and I can honestly say that I never say that).

My wife tells me that I have a terrible memory but if you can’t remember this sort of stuff, then why bother?!

It's almost like memories are the thing you want to remember!
