Safc fans turning on each other

At the Checkatrade final some old weird bloke, who spent the whole game watching the fans in our block rather than the pitch, told a middle aged women to fuck off when she asked if he could calm down.

All because she had the audacity to ask him to calm down after he went on his 76th tirade of the day about us not singing enough.

I think we were at the acceptance stage- its more when we are at the anger (we shouldnt be shit) stage where we attack our own

Correct, we resort to irony.
Felt daft explaining to some Aussies why we were celebrating in Trafalagar Square.
The mighty Sunderland getting to the final of the checkatrade trophy.
Pure Irony and showing we are never cowed.
 
It's not just us tbf. There's a YouTube vid of (I think) Man Utd fans fighting like fuck with eachother, the mags used to call the Ashley apologists "Wonga Wankers" also

Aussies are useless at the match- took aussies to leeds utd at home last season- when we were singing red and white army they joined in singing ‘ roly roly’ thinking thats the words
 
At home to Derby sitting in the south stand at the time the north upper was being built and there was no scoreboard, two lads got in a fight, one lad got kicked out, during the melee Derby equalised. Poor lad hadn’t realised and still thought we were hanging on for the win.

Notts Co away 93 last day of the season was a bit mad

That was a crazy day for sure.
Sunderland fans arguing and fighting each other in the seats behind the goal, and the team getting beat and looking like we'd be relegated, then ultimately saved from the drop, courtesy of results elsewhere.
Cue fans invading the pitch at the end of the game in celebration of our great escape. :D
If I remember rightly, Terry Butcher got a terrible reaction from some angry fans and had to get away back to the dressing room for his own safety.
 
Seen our fans scrapping with each other a few times. Notts County final games of the season in the early 90’s where we just avoided relegation was pretty bad but worst I saw was Wimbledon away, final games when we got relegated in the mid 90’s. Some of our fans were like the branch outing of the NF and it kicked off all around us.

crossbar broken in pitch invasion.

I was hanging onto the crossbar at Blackpool after out 3rd division match in the 1987-88 season, with some other lads I didn't know.
It snapped and we ended up in a heap.
We won the game so the pitch invasion was good natured.
I was promised a match ticket from a Blackpool player but got let down, so was stood outside the ground before kick off, along with a couple of hundred other ticketless Sunderland fans, when the police decided to let us all in the ground for free, rather than have us heading back into town and into the pubs for more drink.
 
There was an away game against Plymouth (can't remember the year) and SAFC had organised a charter flight for tbe team and supporters to fly from Ponteland to Exeter, then get on a bus to Plymouth.
The team had a shocker and lost 1-0 to a Bracewell own goal from a back pass (I think)
Some fans were very pissed off and we were kept waiting for ages at the airport for the players to arrive and board the plane.
The players were booed by some fans as they made their way to their seats, and a fan who vocally defended the tèams performance, was punched by another irate fan.
The atmosphere among the fans on the flight back to Ponteland was very strained to say the least.

Wonder if it was the same bloke mouthing off with a lad at the Semi-final before almost coming to blows and knocking my Bovril over and being told to leave the lad he was starting on alone?
