That was my opinion before the game kicked off, but one of the commentators said that they were a good example of who we play in our opening game in 13 days time.
Think this was a deliberately arranged unofficial ‘B Team’ game, and as such the oppo was probably deliberately lower quality.
We were in the 02 in Newcastle was a brilliant atmosphere (always was in there for games), was genuinely painful and a bit ****ing eerie feeling the life drain out of the place as we knew a long time before the end that it wasn’t happening. One of my worst days as a football fan.
Amplified by allardyce leaving us on the back of it. Was in a pub and my mate said when the full time whistle went that allardyce would get that job and I thought no chance…
ROI team for tonight’s game against Hungary. I’m not surprised they’ve struggled in recent years… please log in to view this image
I don’t know mate but I hope they get hammered for it. Making any punishments stick will be difficult with City’s expensive lawyers, mind.
Thanks for confirming marra. I'm always unsure whether to include the women's football on the Today's football on tv thread. I included the England women tonight but excluded the Scottish and Irish games. Are you interested in all women's games, or just Sunderland and England?
Not at all, just look out for Sunderland’s results. I’ll watch England the odd time they’re on if there’s not many other options…
