S.A.F.C. - the future

[young2077]

Thanks, I should be okay mate. Might have been unlucky to get it at 36 year old, but thankfully it was a type with a 97% survival rate so, now they know the surgery has been a success, it shouldn't affect life expectancy. Gave me one hell of a shock mind, I think we all just assume we'll live till our mid 80s. All of a sudden my mind is thinking I've got a 6 year old who needs me and a step son just reaching 18 who I want to see settled in life. I won't worry about the little things again. Health, family , and aye, enjoying yourself watching your club, that's what it's all about. I'm lucky compared to so many more who go through so much more, going to try and raise a lot of money for those who aren't as fortunate in the future

Always great to hear people beating that ****ty little twat. All the best.

Definitely. If the last year has taught me anything, it's that true friends and immediate family are everything.

Hey all the best mate I'm glad you're ok and doing well you're a great poster and seem a good lad. You're not from boldon are you by any chance?

No mate, live in Millfield, lass is redhouse

All good mate. Won't forget how good mates like you, and people that I don't know in real life from here, were when I was bad. Had a follow up blood test and my numbers are "going the right way", and the cancer hasn't spread to my lungs which was the main worry. Contained in the thyroid, it's out now, and signs are the remaining thytoid cells are dying off, sounds like I've dodged a bullet. All of a sudden Sunderland are looking good, the takeover is done, and everything is rosy. We need a not606 piss up like, especially on a weekday since I've got the bairn on a weekend. I'd definitely be there. We're definitely getting a pint when we're allowed if nowt else!

Sounds like attention seeking to me tbh, I'll buy you a pint for your cheek

I've lost a few mates and work colleagues and about to lose another so to see your post really heartens me that it doesn't get everybody. But my mindset has totally changed over the last couple of years and no longer take it for granted that I'll live a long life, you just don't know what's around the corner. Make the most of it marra

Nah that's what it's all about d,ecent people, family, enjoying life. Things like a message board meet up I probably wouldn't have done before, would enjoy it now. Especially when there's something to look forward to at the club

Didn’t realise you were so unwell mate.
Hope you make a full and speedy recovery.

Me and the mrs were going through a bad patch before this Corona shìt but it's actually brought us closer together.
I suppose it's the realisation that there's always poor folk worse off and it helps to put difference aside and help each other.

She's due a major op now and I'm glad im around to support her

I'll get you a pint too you fooka

I reckon he’s way too professional to tell the whole truth, but I’d love to hear from Jack Ross now

I get that he was left a bit stuck with losing maja, but if the team had bothered to actually turn up in both finals we should have won both. The players were good enough but just didn’t seem motivated, and that is the job of the manager. The play off final we were given a gift and should have killed the game off in the first 20 minutes. I don’t know what his half time talk was but it did not help

Yep. Always said it as well. The mags were laughing. They ****ing loved it. Crying on Netflix etc. Sadly for them it also highlighted the passion of the fans to a lot of people. No surprise that KLD has already mentioned how other cities just can't get the attendances and passion that we can, and how he changed from previously saying he'd never be involved in football again until we came up. He was watching and wasn't laughing. Was told before (and presumably no harm in mentioning it now) that when FPP were interested, they were all avid watchers of it as well. Not just that, but their wives enjoyed it and wanted them to buy the club, they were arguably more into it than the fellas were. Fulwell73 played a blinder and brought us to the forefront of the attention of people who can do serious things at this club.

Hello mate.

We've all took the stick about Netflix and I was saying it'll be great if something could come from it to the mags at work, and it has mate... and believe it or not, I've had a few mags congratulate us on our takeover. Mad times we live in.

I’m in the minority I know, but I really think it would be good if both teams were in the EPL and doing well. NUFC are a big club. Yes some of their fans are delusional but no doubt some of ours can be as well. But both sets of fans are passionate about their team. I don’t get this hatred thing. Admittedly I’ve never seen it on this board but certainly did over the road. Like I said, in the minority.

 

[Nads]

I’m sure it was supposedly Donald who said no season 3.

I can well see another happening now.

Lordy, this thread has quickly lost its get up and go.
Seems it’s got up and gone.
It’s getting more n more like over the road on here. Ha.

I rate Ross as a manager but I think he did bottle it somewhat. I put it down to him still learning his trade and perhaps taking on a job slightly above what he could manage at the time. Maybe if he'd took over when Johnson did with Speakman and KLD backing him he'd have found it a lot easier.

As KLD has seen STID I'm sure he'll be mulling over another series ...

... with Wembley, a promotion campaign and the return of supporters it could be quite dramatic.

 

[The Berk]

Anyone know when Flanagan back?

No idea mate, but last home game(league) I was runner up in the grand in ya hand draw. I’m waiting for Tom Flanaghan’s signed boots to come through in the post.
S.A.
S.A.F.
S.A.F.C. OK

Ross seemed to really lose his nerve and that transmitted to the players ...

... the two performances at Wembley were absolutely gutless.
