Saw you before the match CT walking across the front of the stand, just wondered if all was ok?

You mean being dragged out by two coppers.

Can't take him anywhere you know.

If you hadn’t had said before the match, I’d have thought he was going to sort all the Sheff fans in the top tier who were “offering us out” as they were leaving after the 3rd & 4th goals

Embarrassing that, the lad making the throat cutting motions. What a state

Thanks bumba. I was talking to people outside on Bramall Lane and then turned to go into the ground. As I turned I went straight into a traffic cone and fell over.

I had medical staff there very quickly and they eventually took me into the ground which is when you will have seen me. I had to walk the full length in front of the away end to get to the medical room.

I’ve got a cut on my forehead and my right wrist is very sore but the worst damage is my mouth and top lip. I was really shaken up but the medical staff were wonderful with me.

Now sat at home drinking coffee through a straw.

Did you get to see the match?
Could have been worse and I'm sure the win will have softened the pain!
Get a claim in it could cost them their entire transfer budget next season!!

Did you manage to stay for the game tony? Hope you're feeling better soon

I missed the first two or three minutes but other than that I saw it. My little great niece was there and really upset during the first half until I saw her at half time and reassured her that uncle Tony was fine.

I’ll be writing to Sheffield United to thank them. They looked after me superbly.

Hope you're okay CT - you took one for the team there, they say something bad has to happen Four One good thing to happen

Hope you’re not too sore and recover quickly.

Hope you will be fit to write that weekly match report CT. Chance to write an upbeat one for a change !!

Those Yorkshire Traffic cones are notoriously bad! Not sure they're keen on 'reet' Lancashire folk.
Walked into one doing my weekly shop on the Moor in Sheffield only last week. They've a life of their own.

These things are supposed to keep us safe… I have the same issue with the cleaner at my work. She leaves the plastic “Caution: Slippy Floor” signs in doorways and at the top of stairs. They are accidents waiting to happen when you're carrying stuff or not paying attention. The floors are not even slippy.

Anyway, I'm glad you are ok and I hope your great niece looks after you during your recovery. A letter to the staff at Brammal Lane will be greatly welcomed I'm sure.

Maybe they should start doing warning posters for the warning signs on the floor.

Get well soon Tony.

Glad you’re ok Tony

My dad nearly went flying walking around the barriers getting to the turnstiles

On on side they were “flat” but as you went around the end one, the base stuck quite a way out and he tripped over it. Luckily I was alongside him and managed to hold him up

At least I missed that. I wasn’t officially inside the ground today, my ticket was never scanned. The steward who took me from the medical centre to my seat said he should have taken me back out to come in but said to just go to my seat.

Hope you feel better soon, Tony.

Good to hear you were well looked after by the people at Sheffield United.

Sorry to hear about your fall. You'll probably feel a bit more battered and swollen tomorrow morning, so make sure you have some ice or an ice pack in the freezer.

Refreshing to get so much information on Claret injuries.

Hope you feel great tomorrow Tony

UTC

I nearly hit the deck when I was charged £11 for 2 cans of warm Heineken on the concourse, glad the result improved your day CT.

Glad your OK Tony, on the downside as it's Burnley related VAR have reviewed it and you'll be getting a retrospective ban for diving.

OUCH.............

Get well soon Tony, I hope you aren't too sore and stiff tomorrow.

Take it easy

Really sorry to hear that Tony. That must have have been a huge shock… followed by an even huger one - am away win.

Hope you heal quickly and the wrist doesn’t prevent the match report.

Glad you’re ok Tony. I once got dragged away from the away stand at Sheffield by a police horse with the copper grabbing me in a headlock.

Hi Tony - Sorry to hear about your fall. Hope that you're not too sore today.

Sorry to hear of your mishap Tony. Pleased that you were well cared for by their medical team.

Get well soon Tony and yes take it easy!

My pet hate! These things are way more dangerous than the floor will ever be. Ironically, the cleaners are obliged to leave them due to H & S regs.

He’ll be out of the job soon if he carries on using common sense like that.

Hope you feel better soon, I know what’s it’s like, a few weeks ago i was walking home and took a shortcut in the dark across some rough ground, there was some electrical wire on the path which I tripped over. It took me about 3 days to get over it. The downside of getting old.

Speedy recovery Tony. These bloody traffic cones get everywhere !!

Are you sure it wasn't Amdouni you tripped over?

(Actually, he was ok yesterday!)

I can imagine how you feel.
Experienced exactly the same when waking straight into a concrete pillar after having been distracted.

Glad you are fine now

Any news on the cone ?

He did well when he came on

Actually tracked back and broke up their attack in our area at on point

Currently talking to a “no win no fee” about claiming for being blindsided by a Burnley ultra

Hope the 3 points hid some of the pain yesterday CT

That is horrendous. Keep a close observation on your mouth. I had a scooter crash which threw me to the ground, right on my face. Felt my teeth get re-arranged in the process. They weren't, however, it shook them up and I have lost 3 since!

It is a shock. You did well to keep calm and carry on.
Good luck with recovery.

Apparently he's back on the grass.

Hope you're feeling OK this morning, CT.

Thanks again everyone, not brilliant this morning as expected with my mouth very swollen and pain all over the place.

Hope the pain settles soon for you. Sounds horrible.

GWS, CT. Any fall is not good at our age but head injuries can’t be good. I won't say keep smiling but chin up.

BTW. Is the Dortmund jacket coming out for the CL semis. They have long been my German side.

The coat is still here, occasionally used for an under 21 game.

At least I had a black coat on yesterday. Not sure if any blood landed on it but it wouldn’t have been a good look on yellow.

Hope youre feeling better CT

Emailed them yesterday and received an initial response at 9:03 today. They might be crap on the pitch but clearly not off it.

Sounds painful! Hope you're well on the mend now CT!

Would be rubbing salt in the wounds somewhat.
