Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Saudi State FC - FA Cup 3rd Round – Saturday 6th January 2024 - KO 12:45

One way to get the fans up for a derby…royally ****ing them off.

Well done Sunderland

 

Anyway…. Who should start upfront Saturday?

 

I do, you believed it the other way so way can i not believe this?

Its a mistake to not have anyone supervising it but not the massive mistake that folk have made it. The importnat thing is they reacted quickly once they found out about it

 

I'm not into cancel culture so I dont necesarrily want anybody named and shamed. that can happen privately. I just want the statement to acknowledge a mistake was made and won't happen again. Rather than say we were let down by a third party

 

We'll be fined for that. More incompetence from the off field staff. I'd understand it to an extent if it was a Championship stamp but we haven't been in L1 for 2 seasons now.

 

In a bit mate. I know you like to reply in anyway to my posts. .
.but if mag filth taking over our stadium doesn't bother you, I wouldn't like to be in a trench with you.

 

Isn't that what you did before you knew the facts?

 

Ba

*runs*

 

That would give me the runs

 

Ha, when you put up the original Tweet about the L1 branding I actually typed exactly that in response but then deleted it as didn't want to sound daft. But it has to be surely?!

 

Reckon itll be the same team from last gam

 

Facts are mag filth was decorated into our stadium with all Sunderland stuff taken down. Now made national press and went viral.

Those are facts.

 

You said that sheepishly.

 

Tempted to go 3 centre half’s atleast for the first hour or so anyway

 

Unquestionably. Where we don't agree though is that I think the fans have to be too - the response to this and plenty of other things recently has been hugely disproportionate. Protesting against our owner and making the atmosphere poisonous for our own team....in a derby for ****'s sake!

 

Probably would mean dropping rusyn n playing pritchard at false 9? Wouldnt be against that but just feel rusyns runs could hurt them

 

Sorry to say this but I'd say a lot of fans have embarrassed themselves tbh ...

... an instant campaign to get the owner out ffs.

Seriously, how would that actually work and how would it make us any different to the Mags and Ashley.

 

Trying to find a silver lining, maybe some staff upgrades will happen sooner rather than later.

 

all I can think is that during a brainstorm of "how can we get them not to smash the place up".

 

The main thing is not doing it in the first place. Not exactly circumstances beyond their control.

Like me saying 'well yes my decision caused the aircraft to crash, but the fire engines were out to it very quickly'

 

It's viral in some people's minds imo ...

... I've seen nowt but, then again, I haven't gone out looking.

It was one private room in a vast stadium btw.
