    I’ve seen O’Nien roll about when he hasn’t been touched. He’s an absolute ****house, knows exactly what he’s doing, just like Trafford did that night to save his side a point :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Mate,every game has it's rules by which every participant should abide. Breaking them is lots of things,but certainly not clever.

    What was it then? I’d call Trafford clever that night. Knew exactly what he was doing and it paid off. Know it’s annoying as it cost us but that’s just the way it is.

    You regularly criticise O'Nien for his 'cheating' but now you're praising Trafford for his ...

    ... almost as if you're trying too hard to be controversial.

    I'll leave you to carry on trotting this stuff out.

    Getting away with cheating doesn't excuse it.

    In that instance, the way the game was, I can’t fault Trafford in that situation

    You’d be different if it was Patterson and he rescued us a point. Of course you’ll disagree but that’s just you.

    The result doesn't really affect Sunderland ...

    ... the real victim was the referee who allowed himself to be humiliated.

    I'd guarantee he wouldn't allow that in the playoff final at Wembley.

    …won’t need to, don’t think any of the play-off GKs are clever enough to use the tactic.

    Totally agree . I thought we had seen the last of it ,when we escaped from league one but its in both the Championship and PL.. Greed and cheating is the core skill of many teams nowadays not the actual sport ..

    You seem to approach forum debates in the same way you do football matches, win at any cost …

    … but I’ve learned, over the years, that once someone resorts to calling you a liar you know they’ve lost the argument, and so do they.

    Can’t you see why Bob, seriously …

    … look at Preston’s form, lose lose lose.

    They even lost, at home, to a team already relegated in a game they had to win.

    And Heckingbottom says that was a wake up call <laugh>

    We don’t need one. I’m standing behind RLB whatever happens in the next few games. Great first season.
