Also imagine this as he gets home after the game:
Wife: hi honey how did the game go?
O9: got sent off
Wife: what for?
O9: I kissed another player
Wife: we need to talk
LOL couldn’t make it up right?

The key bit is that we are better next season. You have to assume these lads will learn from the 30-odd games they've played this year. The likes of Bennette and Ekwah have a lot of developing to do, but maybe they go out on loan next season and we bring Matete and Diamond back in to the squad. Maybe that's the model - some lads can drop straight in, others benefit from a year in and around the squad. Look at the night and day difference in Trai Hume since 12 months ago
Trai Hume is very good player. Stands out most weeks and I think got a much older players head on his shoulders had to Google his age cause I was doubting he was young as I thought. Only 20 years old aswell, some very good young talent we have like. Take that and getting the odd thumping over watching a team of seasoned plodders!
No idea if anyone has gotten a red for it but it would be harsh, no violence in it just a complete wind up so yellow at most. But one thing that was clear is the kiss was the reason the other lad got away with grabbing him around the throat, should the wind up give you a pass for a violent reaction? Not usually but the ref was giving them fouls when lads tripped over fresh air so hardly suprising.
Andy Morrison (Plymojth, Man CIty, Blackpool) once got sent off for licking Stan Collymore. It was a 2nd booking though, so not technically sent off for the lick
To me Tria Hume has never looked anything other than a first team player same with Michut .
GreT reaction from the team & management, some players looked back on form and hopefully that’s the blip over with. I thought Bath & Hume were brilliant and special mention to Gerhardt he done really well, I’m pleased for the lad after a difficult start to his time here
Pity he didn't roll that chance in....should have... and it's going to put a bit more pressure on him now.
It todays climate, if it happened in the street, forcibly kissing someone without any suggestion of a warning, he could be done for sexual assault.
Gerhardt needs to start scoring, thats what he is here for, maybe we have unearthed a combination that might work towards this goal, as Ba really surprised me with that display, he looked a very tidy player in a well crafted 4/4/2 which was a masterstroke by Tony if that was indeed the plan..
There are some good comments on there.Been reading one of the Norwich forums match thread....even they were embarrassed about their players diving, and the ref giving everything to them.
Something a few on there mention, and I totally agree with, is that the better side won.

This one was amusing:
'Patrick Roberts looks well up for it.'
"We were Premier League when he failed to break into our side, completely different level of football, he'll never be Premier League."
A bit odd as I didn't think that any of their team looked better than Roberts.
They also have a thread about the Norwich lad who collapsed and was helped by a Sunderland fan and are trying to get the club to invite them both back for some kind of reunion.
I'm over the moon with our performance and the result on Sunday.I was expecting to lose a very difficult match. But,for me,it serves to highlight what a talented bunch of players we have and confirms the great job TM is doing wth them.
I've no doubt Amad will go back to Man U and Gelhardt to Leeds,but if we can tie Stewart down,secure our option on Michut,and get our injured players back,we can have the platform to have a really top season next year.

If O’Nien had grabbed Sorensen around the throat I have no doubt he’d have got a red!! Ridiculous when the linesman is 4 feet away and saw the whole thing
Last season he looked very raw when he did play, but has clearly benefited from 12 months in our set up. He is an excellent right back and I think he could play Centre Half or even CDM in the future
I listen to a Norwich fan on the great podcast with Graeme Falk (what the falk) and the Norwich fan on there was so upbeat and that they were going to do a real job on Sunderland. Now I know what happens when you start to think that the good-time are back at your club.... When the full-time whistle went I thought of him
Exactly marra, thought Wagner was the same in his pre match interview, came over as overly confident and arrogantI listen to a Norwich fan on the great podcast with Graeme Falk (what the falk) and the Norwich fan on there was so upbeat and that they were going to do a real job on Sunderland.

Big summer ahead for KLD and Speakmann. What are their immediate ambitions and have they learned from the mistakes of this season?
We absolutely cannot leave ourselves short in attack again - whilst I've been largely supportive of the model, and we have had some rotten luck, we need more contingency planning - I want to see at least 2 permanent strikers signed as well as a couple of youngsters who can step up in emergencies if needed (worked out ok for Man Utd and Rashford back in 2016)
I expect we will lose a couple of players - maybe Ballard and one other in addition to Amad. It's all about how we replace them. I think the younger players will be better with another year's experience behind them and I would hope for a better season than this. It's essential we have options up front throughout the season
What happens if they can’t get the strikers they want, are you happy to have the dross some of the other lads want on here?
