This was my favourite night match at Roker, Rowell and big Bob Lee both scored first half then they scored late on. The crowd were great roaring the Lads home. We were both top of our respective leagues so beating Everton was a bit of a surprise result although we deserved it.
That was me marra, I only read the free bit in The Times and it said before the next home game. Then someone linked the paid bit and it said next league game, at home.
We'll that scared the **** out of me and I wasn't even in the debate.
Let that be a warning to the whole group marra. Once I gan virtual it’s game ower.
You saying that reminded me of a bit of a story. When I first met my uncle and his family in Oz, he took me and my dad to a football game. It wasn't as professional then as it is now - more like a non-league with 1 big stand and we decided to sit near the back. In total there was around 10 of us, me, my dad, my uncle, a couple of his son-in-laws and their lads all sitting in a row. Me with my 92 away top on (even though they said it looked like a Newcastle top (Newcastle in Oz, not those lot up the road - still wore it though!) and just before the game kicked off, my uncle stood straight up and at the top of his voice shouted "Hawayyyyyy, Hawayyyyyy, Hawayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!" . I've never seen so many people turn round and look up, with all my cousin's sons slowly sliding down their chairs in embarrassment. Me? I couldn't get the big grin off my face!
Dyd’s arse has dropped out already marra.
Leave me out of it, I've been warned.
Gary Rowell (pen) and Bob Lee were the scorers.
Loved going to Roker Park and can still see where I was in the Main Stand paddocks when my dad took me to my first game, loved being in the Fullwell with the swirling that went on but learnt quickly never to stand and lean on the stantions just in case you got crushed with the surge!. Even now writing this, I can still see Armstrong's winner against Chelsea in the cup quarter final, Benno trying to kill Speedie in the Clock Stand. I think it was the whole package that made me want to support Sunderland - the ground, the sound of the fans, the excitement of scoring a goal (a few more now and again in recent times would've been nice!). I can understand the reason we needed to move to the SOL but Roker Park was a special place.
Sounds like when my son was about 10 he did a world Cup sweepstake at the mother in laws when the whole family where around.I think you must have got tongue tied there mate, anyway nearly spat my cabernet sauvignon all over but luckily I managed to hold back. It reminds me of when I mate said that he thought every team in every leagues first game of the season should be at home
Would the staff announcements be all incomings? Or maybe an outgoing (Rodwell?)
I will take it that’s what the issue is then. They want to announce a full team in one go, Academy Director, Head of Recruitment or is that Speakmans role?
I think it will be a couple a days apart, but will feel like off the belt
Curious to know what the new staff announcements could be. We already know Sporting director, First team coach and assistant, Academy coach, Communications /systems lead. KLD must be bringing a he'll of new team with him if there's more to come.
Is that like proper virtual likeLet that be a warning to the whole group marra. Once I gan virtual it’s game ower.
... But if
