Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Coventry City – Play-off Semi Final 2nd leg Tuesday 13th May 2025 - KO 20:00

You’ve beaten me to it.
I followed this game from Australia, dotting between this forum and BBC Sport. There are hundreds of wonderful, loyal, intelligent posters on this forum, however they and I are let down by a minority of whining, whinging posters who, as soon as they perceive that things are not going their way, or with their expectations start slagging off the manager, individual players, other posters, even the coaching staff got flack during this game.
I have watched, followed and supported SAFC for more than 65 years now, I have seen it all, the good, the bad and yes, the ugly too, but I have never ever given up on them, and nor will I.
To those whinges and moaners
I say “get a life “ or get off the forum, to quote LAMackem “faint hearts win f*ck all” but they can and do demoralise loyal supporters like me and possibly some of our young players too.

 

Just saw it, saying they were much the better side over the 2 legs.

Ignoring if it is correct or not, if that actually mattered we would have been promoted automatically donkeys ago.

 

Just watched a Ballard interview and he said we let them play wide. Can see why did nothing in two legs

 

Another shout from me about Jobe. What a player. Can't believe the amount of stick he gets from opposition fans, for me a good test of if you know football is whether you rate him or not.

 

Simms got ZERO minutes over the 2 legs. Surely if the tactic is to cross the ball then you'd bring him on. Lampard is ****e.

 

Second half of extra time, two minutes added on.......

 

Bet that's going on his wall at home

 

I’ve just got in and i’m at work at 5

That was absolutely fantastic

 

Just got home. How many times do you think I can watch the Ballard goal before the Mrs complains?

 

I was down to do a 12km run on the 25th. Think I’ll forego my entrance fee in favour of a stinking hangover.

 

I was done. I thought we were done.

This club

 

Just got home, all I can say is ****ing get in.

All that matters is the result and what a ****ing result

Till the end has never felt so apt

 

sit back and enjoy

 

**** the Mrs mate. You're going to Wembley

 

The noise on the goal

 

They asked us to bring the noise and by jebus did we bring the noise

To a man they gave everything for the shirt

 

Well I’m not long home!! What a night. If there’s a perfect way to win a 2 legged tie, I can’t think of it

 

Head count tomorrow/today, make sure we're all still standing.

What a finish.

**** off Lampard "we're not bitter, but......."

 

Got a message of a mate, he's a Leeds fan.

Simply said "That's how you ****ing do the playoffs"

 

****ing hell never easy is it but man is it worth it in the end. **** em all Ha’way the lads
