Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Saudi State FC - FA Cup 3rd Round – Saturday 6th January 2024 - KO 12:45

I should probably read a full thread before being angry. I really do hope KLD is as angry as is being suggested. I am (I think) reasonably well balanced in my older age, but those decorations going up are a shocker in my opinion. If it is as simple as nobody from our side in attendance to stop it then ok and I am over it. But even as an eldefly exile when I saw them I swore loudly. My good lady cant stand football, but I did take her to a Derby years ago and she has never forgotten that atmosphere. I showed her and even she was aghast at it. I have a ticket in Saturday and every ounce of my passion will be behind my team, nothing more. Lets get them beat and make sure this little shenanigans is a side story only. I fancy us to do it too.

 

Thats a shocker but again harsh to sack someone over that

KLD does need to review the whole off the field stuff tho as been lots stuff now

Hoping the silver lining for this is he kicks off at those responsible for that side of the business

 

This cup draw has broken us. We haven't even played the game yet.

 

I don’t think there was a story.

 

Individuals who cause PR disasters on this scale tend to get sacked.

 

Yeah. Another thing to mention is that this was rumoured about happening weeks ago. Similar to when the 6k allocation was rumoured. Hope I am wrong about the clubs knowledge of this, will never know for sure anyways I suppose.

 

It's shambles after shambles with the off the field stuff now. Can't even get a email back or a call answered by the ticket office. Been trying for 2 weeks.

 

The media have been embarrassed tbh, along with a fair few other people ...

... if the national newspapers are running this shyte, as a story, then it's laughable.

Some people don't need to know the facts to make up their minds tbh.

 

Well I was suckered into it for 20 mins or so. Just having a cup of camomile tea to calm the old nerves

 

My team for sat if Roberts is missing:

Patto
Hume o9 ballard alese
Neil ekwah
Jobe pritchard clarke
Rusyn

Subs
Bishop
Seelt
Pembele
Ba
Rigg
Mayenda
Burstow
Adil
Matete

Toss up between matete n Triantis but matete's energy might be needed last 10/15 mins

Im probably missing an obvious one off the bench

 

Get yourself down the protests - 7pm at the empty stadium...

 

It has been mate and something needs to happen for the combination of errors on that has happened

 

I read 6pm lol

Social media sucks at times like lol

 

I think the vast majority of Sunderland fans who have commented and reacted with fury would strongly disagree.

 

The club has been a joke off the pitch for a long time now. Nothing is getting better. Questions need to be asked.

 

I read 4pm there was only me there.

 

Fair enough mate. I was referring to the media reporting it rather than on the forums but get your point.

 

Daily fail were quick on it spouting shìte.

 

Christ I hope not. All this needs is a bit of accountability and some improvements to the off field stuff, not protests or ownership change

 

Absolutely. No doubt about it. It's still incredibly poor.
