Vlad the Fox Posted 28 January 2015 Share Posted 28 January 2015 To be perfectly honest, I once served Bernie when I worked at Budgens years ago. I was surprised by how coherent he is before his daily gallon of whistle wettener, a bit mumbly but spoke in actual constructed sentences. I was also amazed how he's able to carry things, his fingers are ridiculously stumpy It was post match and he was looking like he'd had a few, but maybe/I hope he's trolling everyone.

LanguedocFox Posted 28 January 2015 Share Posted 28 January 2015 Not sure if I read it on here, but apparently he was on a train coming back from some London match, and there were a loads of fans from Dirty Leeds in the same carriage. Bernie was giving his usual "sh1t team, sh1t graaaaahnd" etc all the way back. When he got up to get off the train (in Loughborough, I think), several of these Leeds guys stood up, and there was a feeling it was all going to kick off. Instead they all wanted to have their photograph taken with him. I'm not sure (he said, being po-faced) that I feel good about anyone destroying himself with booze, but he is definitely a City legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever bought I'd say has a big heart and even bigger (emptier) wallet. Whether it be the Bernie we all know or another Bernie, we can simply say well done and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaelicFox Posted 28 January 2015 Share Posted 28 January 2015 I think it was Bernie sat near us Saturday on upper tier was really ****ing abusive to a girl in one of the pink LCFC women tops thought she was a forest fan , all game long spitting and chuntering , and abusing her in a funny way the lass was laughing at him anyway someone else might have seen him right at front of the top tier ? Looked to have lost some weight , maybe was a Bernie Clone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleatout Posted 28 January 2015 Share Posted 28 January 2015 Looked to have lost some weight , maybe was a Bernie Clone ? No it was Bernie. My son walked across the concourse as Bernie emerged from the gents. His 1st "experience" of the legend that is Bernie.

Buzzell Posted 28 January 2015 Share Posted 28 January 2015 So he will happily spend over a grand for Liam Moore's England shirt but won't spend a couple of quid on shower gel? Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleckneymike Posted 28 January 2015 Share Posted 28 January 2015 Only Bernie could spend £1149 on a dirty, unwashed 2nd hand shirt It is probably the cleanest item of clothing he owns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can you say other than "that's what 50 years of supporting this lot does to you, think on...." To be honest he was a mess first time I had to stand within 5 places of him , he looks to have aged massively since I saw him last , the poor lass beside him was getting some stick , who is the guy that wares the trilby hat , check hat with front turned up big old guy with longish white once blonde hair ? ,he and Bernie were chuntering at each other was quite funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaelicFox Posted 28 January 2015 Share Posted 28 January 2015 He was the seat below me thank god the yellow bars and walk way separated us I was just in front of him , NO yellow bars to save me !!! that blue training coat was absolutely stinking , but he was very very entertaining while we were loosing Im sure some teeth fell out when 2nd went in We need more people like Bernie , what a fantastic world it would be with more characters He's supposed to have a right wad stashed away.
