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

I don't think the Mags are any great shakes at this moment in time. But they have better players than us and a lot more experience. It's a massive test for out boys and I'm slightly concerned. Issak and Gordon are quality players and a massive step up for o9, Hume and ballard etc. It's a free game for us though. The amount of money they've spent it would be so.embarassing if they lost. Hope we ****ing rattle them.early.doors and make it horrible for them

 

Statement from KLD on his Instagram

 

Sure someone will pick holes in that no doubt.

 

Thats heartfelt imo, obviously dont know the lad but it sounds like it has hurt him. Someone will be getting booted i reckon, kld will be on the warpath

 

Accountability and change is what I wanted in reaction to this, feel like we have got the first one and the second will be coming soon.

Enjoyed him saying they've been 'ripped down' instead of just taken down

 

100% this.

 

Yep same here

 

P45 before anyone knows the details of what happened? I would sleep on that one and see how you feel in the morning.

 

Good. **** ups as bad as this need to dealt with swiftly.

 

Won't take them long. Meeting minutes and sign off for services. Anyway, someone will carry the can regardless

 

Great response and quick, well done Kyrill

 

I think he will deal with it, he doesnt seem impressed

Love how he has taken ownership of it, no blame on anyone else - you can tell by his wording hes raging as well

 

Yeah. Language is important and obvious too.

 

The ripped down comment was what I liked and just said that to my sons a few minutes ago when they posted it in WhatsApp.

 

Thought I read somewhere VAR wasn’t involved at this stage of the competition

 

Said the same to my dad, can read a lot into that wording.

 

I'm a realist which wont go down to well

I watch most of the televised skunks games and even with their so called injury list, man for man they are probably all better than us.

If those cheating bastards linton and Bruno really turn it on I believe our midfield will get totally dominated but hoping of course they lose their rags and both get sent off

Unfortunately I feel with backing of 6000 of the smelly bastards behind them this may spur them on a bit

Dont worry lads Ive been wrong more often and not

But that is my unbiased opinion

Credit to the club that's a good PR statement. Hopefully followed up, after the game on Saturday with any appropriate action.

 

Only in use at PL grounds..

Will VAR be in operation for Sunderland vs Newcastle United in the FA Cup?
There will be no VAR in operation despite the Stadium of Light being able to accommodate the system. FA Cup rules state that VAR will only be in use at Premier League venues.

 

Accountability is a fantastic trait
