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

There hasn't been any accountability for this embarrassing episode yet.
Whoever signed that off needs held to account - that hasn't happened yet.

 

Nobody would seriously expect that on the same day that it happened.

 

You overestimate some of our fans.

 

I like that statement as KLD has done what all good leaders do and took responsibility however I think somebody is in for a shock after a full evaluation of the circumstances come to light but I also think it should be dealt with in house as we do not need another media circus around this as it gets sorted. Like KLD said let's get back to concentrating on the game at the weekend.

 

I don't believe anyone would genuinely expect individuals to be named and blamed on the same day it happened. As today has shown people like being drama queens but I'd like to think realism hasn't left the building entirely.

 

How do you know? If they’ve dealt with it behind closed doors, as it should be, then you won’t have any idea

 

Hello Coastal, hope you're well.

As you're talking about accountability and embarrassment can I ask a serious question.

Before the Preston game, for two days, you were pulling Beale to pieces, fair enough.

During and after the Preston game you didn't post, even after a professional 2-0 victory.

You've made no comment on that win whatsoever.

Now you're back attacking the club once again.

My question is this, will you only ever come on here like a whinging fanny or will you give praise where it's due?

 

I believe you're totally wrong mate.

I think some people would want stocks to be set up, in the car park, so the righteous contingent can stone them and thrown things from a safe distance. Asking for people to be sacked, just after Christmas, is pathetic ... especially as the main reason is that they'll have to cope with banter from the Mags.

FFS their owners stone women to death for being raped

 

Demanding people be sacked doesn't sit right with me. We don't know the circumstances.

 

Cheers

 

I mean ours is a Premier League ground, we just don’t have a Premier League team…

 

The ref is Craig Pawson though, so decisions will be made up as we go along.

 

Hi SiB hope you ok too - aye fine thanks.
I wasn't on during the game as I was there supporting and after straight out for new year.
Yes a solid professional performance and Beales points return exceeds what I expected thankfully.
This ticketing and rolling out of the red/blacknwhite carpet for nufc fiasco is a disgrace imo. The only positive I can see is if it outs some employees who support them and shouldn't be in senior roles around safety,security or operations if they are allowing and facilitating today's revelations that have now been back tracked on.

 

If I was in charge of that department I'd be holding my hands up, as responsible, then having the culprit by the throat.

But, ffs, demanding sackings for people, who may well have families, is appalling.

Especially when the sole reason is that they might have to take some banter from strangers.

FFS, I don't know if it's Princess Di, Covid or climate change but people are becoming as soft as shyte.

If a Mag takes the piss you have ten times more to fire back with so grow some bollocks and get into them!

Their owners murder children, there's your starter.

 

I don't believe you're a Sunderland supporter so I'll excuse myself and just keep an eye on you, no offence.

 

Exactly. People need to calm down a bit. Always looking for a scapegoat. Everyone pull together man and FTM.

 

Pleased to see the way KLD has taken responsibility this afternoon. He is owning what is an embarassment to the club and fans. Still cant understand the argument of fans who didnt think was a big deal but hopefully we move on as one and some small lessons are learned somewhere. I think by the end of the game the footballing world will be doffing their cap to us once again.

 

IMO it was only a big deal if you bought the shyte that KLD was taking it up the arse and raking in money from this.

I was prepared to see how the club responded before demanding protests, sackings and the removal of the owner.

People who sanctioned calm aren't to blame for the hysterical reaction and the Mags laughing at it.

There's blame but I'm having none of it.

Who looks worse now, those who went ballistic or those who didn't?

 

There were some who went OTT, but there were some who seemed to think it was no big deal. The latter are more at odds with KLD it seems and certainly my own opinion. Mind boggling if anyone saw those pics and thought they werent a problem, imo.
