Blues fan here of 30+ years and i just wanted to come on and say a massive thanks to Rab C Nesbit on here for his kindness the other night.

I came to the Barca game with my 78 year old dad, he was there last time we played them in 1960 (0-0 and it pissed down all game apparently!). Our season tickets are over in the Kop usually, i live abroad so i go whenever i’m back but there’s 10 of us who all share them depending on who can go each week. As everyone wanted to go we had to get a few extras so me and my dad ended up in the Tilton lower. My Dad has not long had a knee replacement and walks with a stick and our mate had accidentally stitched us up by buying the extra tickets in safe standing.

As we were struggling to get down the stairs Rab (totally unprompted) came over asked if we were heading down to safe standing and kindly offered for him and his lad to swap seats with us so my old man didn’t have to stand up all game. His seats are right at the front of upper with loads of leg room so it was perfect for my dad. It was honestly one of the kindest things i’ve seen in a very long time! I tried to give him some cash for a few beers to say thanks and he wouldn’t take it. So i just wanted to come on and say thanks again, he saved my dad from a really painful couple of hours. You’re an absolute gent Rab! KRO

Cheers,

Jim


To be fair mate, he was probably going home anyway. He's getting earlier and earlier

Half of it was deleted due to some very cynical posts.

SHA can be an odd place at times.

Woulda looked better if this thread had preceded your own self congratulory one. Possibly.

I asked if he was on here. He said he reads it. I thought he might be someone who I had shared PM’s with previously , who had lost their season ticket in club class and his old man had mobility issues.
Obviously it wasn’t
Alive. Early starter. Enricher of lives

I believe you, Rab., but the one point that challenged me was the bit about you refusing money for a few beers.. I’d like to think that was a Herculean act.
We. should alll look out for one another, in such a troubled world . You set a good example of that. I’ve just returned from a week at Glasgow 2026. I was taken aback by the friendliness of so many Glaswegians. A great Games, but ours was even better!
