Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Fulham FC – FA Cup - Wednesday 8th February 2023 - KO 19:45

Hume looked to be limping at full time, hopefully its nothing

 

Haven’t read through the stream yet but just wanted to say I’m delighted and proud of the lads tonight, as I said before the match, they would keep fighting until the end.

 

Some people just can't wait to have a pop ...

.... but can't find it in themselves to praise us.

No idea how some people cope with being so miserable.

 

We give it a good go...

 

If we hadn’t given them a goal lead and not started playing until 35 minutes in we would have beat them no doubt in my mind. Made plenty of opportunities just weren’t clinical enough. Ref playing fairly would have been a help too, we got **** all out of him all night.

 

innit nice though, the premier club hanging on at the death, scared of the 'smaller' club.

bad start for us mind, we could not put a couple of passes together but once we got ourselves pulled round we gave them a hell of a game and should hold thier heads high (again).

that ref, as soon as i remembered him i knew we would struggle to get much from him, always annoys the feck out of me when the supposed big clubs can never win by playing football, every touch down they went and got a free kick yet the ref's just let it happen, that andreas was on the pitch 5 minutes and was sitting shouting at the ref about 'how many times the bloke had fouled' but they were the ones worried...denied a pretty good call for a penalty, lucky save from roberts and off the line from amad.

once again proud of the lads, i just wish that for a change we get the balls bouncing the right way for us for a change and get an even shout from the officials...just to add, i think dan neil had a horrible start but pulled himself round and he is the lad i have said enough about him but has been much better recently.

 

Didn’t notice at first that after laying on 2 nd goal , Mitrovic falls over the hoarding. Wonder the ref didn’t automatically give him a free kick

 

biggest bloke on the pitch as well, lol.

 

I absolutely love this set of lads, plenty room for improvement but with the attitude they have we won’t go far wrong

 

Aye didn’t pick his battle well tonight like, like that he has that about him though

 

Yet another display to be proud of and no real complaints from me about the result. Could have gone either way because we created plenty but they were more clinical.

Great to see O'Nien back in midfield

 

Well I did predict a 3-2 classic!!

Bart

 

for some reason i have this distant memory that i was told if a player was not in the playing area then he is not 'within the play', he was out of play as he played the ball...no idea if the memory is true or not but i still loved watching him go @rse over t1t

 

carney was on human crutches.
Hopefully Hume is fine

 

Bobby kerr would be pissed of with what he saw down there, frigging awful in the first 25 mins, should have lost at Shrewsbury, cost us Stewert for nowt, they keep doing this to us though at home i reckon no more home cup games for me now, cannot compete with battling teams. The strikers situation is a disgrace as well.

 

Not heard that , but if the case , then guess it’s if the ball was deemed to be in , then at least his toe must have been in if he contacted the ball , and his toe is enough to be “ him”

 

And, just another point...

Why does it seem to be that it's only our fans who throw their rubbish on the floor for the wind to blow it all around the f*ckin pitch?

 

Get a life!

 

Why don’t you make it no more games at all?
