Bank holiday blinder

As the bank holiday weekend crept ever nearer, something was in the air - an atmosphere that something big was about to happen.... Portsmouth at home.



Early doors in this great town and a group of immaculately dressed, fine looking young casuals meet in anticipation for a day that could bring us Glory and notoriety throughout the Casual scene.
Anybody who's ITK knows the history of the 6:57 and what they're capable of.
Would this be a day to remember?

Well in sorts, yes.

The morning goes by a lot slower than the drinks are going down and as we all know too well, chasing ghosts soon gets boring - when all of a sudden, word gets round that our boarders have been breached.

Time to call the cavalry... the hunt is on.


A centurion group of MSE then make very easy work of the remainder of the day.

on arrival at said destination a small number of 6:57 look bewildered at the sight of the "lower league minnows" turning up in such force,

"its going to go one of two ways mate, either we fucking have it now, or you all sit down, enjoy your beers, and shut the fuck up" - MSE
"well, we would have it, but you've just marched 100 lads into the pub, we'll get battered" - 6:57


Portsmouth get let off the hook...for now.

Alls well in the pub, but you can still sense an atmosphere when a conversation that pricked the ears of many happened.

Now apparently, the reason the famous south coast crew hadn't travelled is.... da da da da....

...They took 70 lads to accrington stanley last week...

Honestly, accrington stanley? I forgot they had a top firm and were renowned in the lower leagues for having a top mob... Oh wait...

I can just see lads from the likes of West ham not travelling to Chelsea because they'd gone to Wigan away the previous week. I'm sorry but this for me and many others out, was not an excuse.

"You're not in Accrington now mate so fuck off before I smash your head in"

All this being said the lads who travelled were by no means mugs and will be respected in these parts for a long while. They were Clued up and genuine gents on the casual scene.
They admitted defeat off the pitch gracefully, this resulting in no further action being taken against said lads.

"We've been outnumbered and outclassed today, we did not expect this.." -6:57

So if any other foreign hordes are planning on "Taking over the town", I'd be careful where you step, and keep an eye over your shoulder.

Its official...

MANSFIELD ARE BACK!

After all being squared with the travelling rogues, that left a little time before the game to have a bit of fun with the Pompey fans - Which must be said, turned a little sour its self when some brave lad decided to do a bit of glass juggling, which obviously went wrong and ended up shaving a few hairs off one of two Mansfield heads.

Fortunately for the Portsmouth shirt wearers, faithful Nottinghamshire's finest constabulary were there to hold their hands




So what usually happens when somebody throws a glass at you?

It's Mansfield's fault....

The Portsmouth faithful soon quietened down and the heavy handed OB try and take charge.






Order of the day for the majority? the dreaded Section 27....

"Section 27 legislation allows police to move someone from a specified area for a period of up to 48 hours. No offence needs to have been committed for the act to be enforced: the legislation gives police the power to move on people who they say pose a risk of alcohol-related disorder."




And as mentioned in a previous post... the obligatory arrest.

All in all a great show of force from our boys old and young, the reputation is back and is ours to defend.
HOME AND AWAY!






Match report
A hard fought 2-2 draw which could of gone either way, in my opinion probably a fair result, Portsmouth having the better of the first half, and Mansfield the latter.

The highlight of the game had to be Ben Hutchinson's 25 yard Volley leaving the pompey keeper helpless to watch the ball sail into the back of the net.



It looks to me as though Portsmouth are realising they're not going to walk the league as they once thought, this highlighted by the hugely supported club not selling out as so frequently promised at the start of the season.


Good result on and off the pitch.

Lets keep this momentum going week in week out.

Enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend and as they say,

Keep it casual

MSE

And it begins...

So like the majority, this match for me wasn't a glamour tie I was rushing to get tickets for,
Wycombe Wanderers away.....

Bog standard ground - Check
Shite home support - Check
No pubs within a 10 mile radius of the ground - Check
Very little or no lads - Check

A round trip of 270 miles didn't really give me a hard on this saturday, I've been to wycombe before, and lets be honest, there's fuck all there.

So for my off pitch report...



A great big, FUCK ALL!


On the pitch however, a different story.
Our lads in Yellow and Blue did us proud and got our first three points since returning to the league.
The game like our two before, saw Mansfield dominate for long periods of time, with chance after chance being spurned.
I, like most of you, assumed it was going to be another goalless draw.
But then a piece of tactical magic, a late substitution saw new man Ollie Palmer (cue chants) slot in a short range header... We are off the mark!


The remaining 10 or 15 minutes seemed to take a lifetime to pass and with fingernails getting increasingly shorter, I couldn't wait for the final whistle.

Lets hope this is a start of things to come...

Now, like me, I'm sure you're all pissing glitter at the thought of next weeks tie.
Portsmouth will be travelling North to this great town.
These fellas need no introduction "The 6:57"


Big city, Big numbers, Big firm...

...That's enough arse licking for my liking though, as the video below proves, I think we have the numbers to match the majority of firms in the football league...

"They've got big numbers mate..."

"Haha dont you worry pal its all about quality, not quantity" 




Like the countdown to christmas this week is going to be a grueller, Roll on saturday.
And see you all bright and early...

MSE

Snakes in the grass?

So after seeing the link I'm about to post, this makes me think we may have a few Judas like characters around the town...

"Football intelligence officers often see the ugly side of the beautiful game. Reporter RICHARD SHARPE spent the opening day of the season at Glanford Park with officers from Scunthorpe and Mansfield to find out what goes on before and after the referee’s whistle is blown"

From what i can make out, sounds like somebody's been opening their mouth a bit too much ?

"loose lips sink ships"
Please make of this what you will, but, just remember, be careful who you talk to.

as always, Keep It Casual

A little look in to the future

So then lads, lets get in the DeLorean, hit it to 88mph, and have a little trip into the future.............
(some of the younger readers might not get this reference the ones who do YOU OLD BASTARDS!)

Newport


So first up for us in September, we unfortunately have to leave this glorious land of ours we call ENGLAND!
and travel West across the boarder into the land of Leek munchers and Sheep botherers alike.
On the pitch I expect the lads to do the business and get the win!
Off the pitch I'm also going to presume there would be some, who would like to make our presence known in this foreign land,


 I'm sure they all remember the MSE so fondly ;)
So if the Welsh countrymen can pull themselves away from their livestock, this could be interesting .



York


Again, due to recent events on the pitch I'm sure there will be a few borrowing each others season tickets (trust me it works) in order to get tickets for this grudge match, at possibly the worst named ground in the football league - "The Kit-Kat Crescent"

Unfortunately boys, I don't see our metal getting tested on this short journey... The evidence of this is posted on a previous thread, our competition by the looks of it is a youth club trip out to the cathedral ......

So for any unfortunate Nomad Brave/Daft enough to be out on the 14th, I could see it ending like this...


NorthamptonCOBBLERS !!! No, that's right, we're heading back to the Sixfields.


"as long as its only us doing the shoe'ing in, i'm not fucking bothered"
This for me will be a tough test for the boys in shin pads and boots, Northampton came close to going up last season, getting beaten in the Playoff final by the boys from Little Asia ... Bradford.
For me I'd take a draw here!

OFF PITCH REPORT -
The N.A.T are not to be underestimated and have a tidy little outfit set on 'having it'.
Still though, if there's 50 pairs of Gazelles on their turf I'm not so sure they'll be up for it.
Looking forward to this one - it could throw up a few surprises.
Here's a short clip from the past of the Affray team boys having it with the six toe'd cretins down the road from us!




Chesterfield
Saturday 28 September!
I've personally been practising playing hide and seek with my kids, in the hope that I can get that good at seeking that we may actually catch a peak of the ever illusive 'CBS'.




Does anything more need to be said.......

We all know the score here, and it's possible the only bother we're going to have on the 28th is with this mob...



 Our last visit was a literal walk in the park - well, road, council estate and anywhere else we tried to find them.



so one more time...

Keep away from him


and get stuck in to these Spireite natives...


So alas, my eyes have gone square from writing this, and I can no longer use my power of seeing into the future.

Lets hope it's a good one!

NO GO AREAS!

So its been plastered all over Facebook and the net also the news about these so called "no go areas" in places like London and Luton, no I'm not going to get all political because as I was once told
"when your in the pub don't talk about money or politics" and I'm going to stand by that.

However being as i have brought the subject up I think I have a couple of NO GO AREAS I'd like to add to the list.

Firstly whilst on Twitter mindlessly scrolling through i saw this scrote trying to give one of my all time boxing heroes Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton some grief...

NO GO AREA #1























Thats right this absolute cretin is setting up a "hoolygan firm" in Beijing to defend the Manchester honour.....

I Implore you all not to go to Beijing as this hardened arch cunt could be waiting for you.


And secondly

NO GO AREA #2

If anybody in league one was planning on taking a trip to the New York stadium to watch your team play Rotherham Utd, I'd seriously think again......





Thats it four pre-pubescent underfed gypo tan donning idiots will be there to great you.
I'm sure the older boys of Section 5 would be so glad to see that these intimidating figures are carrying on their legacy.....


So there you have it if I was you I'd take my advice and avoid these places at all costs!!!
You have been warned

MSE

Back on the old stomping ground.

First home game of the season!

So its the first home game of the season and with the away team having a 454 mile round journey I'm not surprised their wasn't a mass exodus of southern soft lads supping the town out of shandy on this fine afternoon.

There was however a decent set of young lads and a couple of fine middle aged gents accompanying them to the finest venues the town has to hold, It's a great thing seeing young lads still out and keeping the scene alive.

Although the top mob in this photo is obviously the two mean looking fuckers at the front...

So yet again nothing to report from the streets,

Football wise however many were sceptical before the game and others thinking we were going to set the world a light.

"Jimmy Savilles got a better record than Calvin Andrews"

The first half was very scrappy a 50/50 game which you couldn't have called, both teams had chances but the half went by a wont be remembered by many.

The second half however was our game to be won, I though the berated Andrews looked a handful up front a real work horse. Ollie Palmer looks very promising if not a bit naive at this level. but fucking hell its the 2nd league game in and if I could call it I would be in Coxy's seat.


  


The main thing that let us down today in my opinion was the smoke bomb......... I let out more gas than that when i visit the WC after a session on the sauce!



So a 0-0 draw and nothing to report off the pitch a pretty uneventful day. Still enjoyed it but cant wait for things to pick up

Roll on september!

MSE

How they stand...

My mere opinion on the best and worst mobs in our league.

1) For me its got to be this mans merry bunch of goons, as we all know "Mr Portsmouth" is not a lad but i enjoy seeing this daft bell ringing cunt on my screen (left) . (right) however if you shift your beady eyes to the right of the this man clearly on day release you will find the reality, large numbers of horrible dockers.



, 


2) Hartlepool may always be in the shadow of their north east rivals on the pitch with Newcastle and Sunderland being close by but this by no means takes anything away from the blue order.



3) Finally on my ones to watch are Bristol Rovers Gas Hit Squad, again for as long as I can remember been very consistent on the scene, Big City - Big Firm....



This isn't however to say these firms can't be matched or bettered, as they say
"It's not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog"
What I'm saying is some of the best offs I've had the pleasure to have been involved in have been small numbers, 15 a side goes off a dream,
Special shout to a young Cheltenham set who we had it with regular many a year ago.


On the other hand.............
You have the great pretenders and the toughest bunch of keyboard warriors know to man. a real tasty bunch.......


3) If this is all we've got to put up with when we make our way to the kit kat crescent then fuck me I fancy my chances in York on myself....



2) Rochdale, unsurprisingly couldn't find any pictures of their "lads" and couldn't really be arsed to look as
I've been there a few times and I happens to think there isn't any ?.....

And Number one. the top mob the one we've all been waiting for, The only people out doing Madeline McCann at the hide and seek championships.

The Famous CBS.





These are only my opinion so don't take them as facts, But if i was a young lad looking to impress I might try and make a trip to the top 3 ;)
