Definitely furious. I come from (and married into) a family that ask every new person the big question. “Who do you support?”
The last few weeks in the life of SAFC has been a really interesting insight into the mechanisms of mob mentality. Proper flaming torches and pitchforks stuff.
Ok so I made a poll to see what the thoughts were. Results after 30 mins here. Appreciate it's a smallish sample (66 votes so far) and only across one platform but find it interesting. 86% of total vote furious. Fair point re 12% safc b/r not furious. Obviously results will be swayed by follower dynamic.
About 35 years ago, my eldest daughter asked how would I feel if she brought a black boyfriend home, I said he can be any colour he wants, just as long as he doesnt support the mags
I'm not sure what the equation is for that but he probably gets extra credit for interrupting his holiday!
So whether you're SAFC b/r makes no difference. Anyway, it's the eve of the derby ffs, fancy directing some of your ire towards the Mags for 24 hours rather than towards SAFC?
See what it shows when it's done. As I said, genuinely found it interesting as a topic. The mags can do one, rotten club, plucked out of thin air and sports watched for success. They have all bought it , hook line and sinker.
The irony man of you telling people to get off their knees when you've spent the last however many years sticking up for and defending the Tories and bending over for them. Sorry for the digression mods - hypocrisy winds me up.
It’s just how it is. Alternatively there is a mag on my mams side of the family who blocked me for months when I posted on his Facebook after we beat them last.
Surely "SAFC born and raised" is different to "born and raised within the City/Borough of Sunderland" not sure respondents would have noted the difference. If you're not an SAFC fan (i.e. not "SAFC born and raised") you're not going to be furious at all.
I've spent the last however many years wishing a pox on all their houses. As with this though, I've wanted evidence and some form of logic applied to the thinking around it. The hypocrisy is from those who'll gleefully accuse without evidence when it suits but insist there's nothing to see when it doesn't. Not sack the board, not nothing to see here. What did they think was happening. Who knew. Who approved it. Who didn't supervise it.
I'm from Sunderland, born in Hendon, raised in Red House, still living here after a period on the dark side. I'm much less outraged than you think I should be. Perhaps it's because I no longer recognise the club formerly know as NUFC as a direct rival any longer, just an extension of one the most heinous states on the planet hoping to sportswash themselves into the history books. Perhaps it's because I'd like to know the full detail of what, and why what happened, happened before donning my moral chainmail. I stand by my moral compass an apologise to no-one for my opinions. With respect, I think you owe some posters an apology. Enjoy your day. Edit: and if https://www.not606.com/threads/its-skunks-talk-time.410480/page-33#post-17241525 is true, then it dissipates the "they knew all about" talk pretty much completely.
I’m from Tyneside. I’m a proud Geordie. I’m no less outraged about it than you. Worse probably because I’m surrounded by the cnuts having a field day over it.
Might have missed it, you say all I think it's actually 1 or 2 that mentioned where they are from. So you think your a more loyal supporter because you were born in the city. To me supporting the club is getting behind the lads home and away, I travel all over the country with loads of lads from Northumberland. This to me is supporting the club, rather than sitting on a match day thread when we are losing tearing strips off the club and the same individuals yet disappear and make very little comments when we win. Everyone on here has different opinions on this matter and different degrees of how bad it is, I think only one person has said they are not bothered by it. I think everyone else believes it's been a cock up. However to say its only people born in Sunderland that are totally outraged it a completely untrue with absolutely no evidence to back it up. We wouldn't be the club we are without supporters from outside of Sunderland
