Bizzare things you see at the match

2 idiots getting on the Burton supporters bus with Sunderland scarfs and getting a life home to Burton

What’s so odd....that’s brill that, just hope they didn’t drop them in middle of nowhere

I was be ironic, it was me and a mate travelling on the burton bus as we live in the area ( and are season ticket holders). £18 return instead of £50 made total sense, but I could have done without the shit performance. Their fans were sound and real football folk.

Nice one marra.

I once saw an overhead flag thing or whatever they are called, on the Roker End at Roker Park. It was a giant white sheet when unveiled above heads it simplyread DRINK BOOZE in red.

I seen a professional footballer kick thin air under no pressure in the 2nd half.

That was canny impressive mind! Same as Burge passing to Lynch, the Lynch back to Burge under no pressure in the 92nd minute, when we are desperate for a goal!

Great advice for watching Sunderland

Their ultras nicked our scarves

I once saw a head steward struggle to remove what seem like a lad aged about 16 from his seat. The kid had hold of a railing and the steward was karate chopping his arm while the police looked on and done nothing even though this steward was assaulting the kid. Eventually the steward realised the kid was going nowhere so just walked away looking like the tit he was.

Rumours are he's still there clinging to the railing.

The spontaneous chant always intrigues me. Some years back in the West Stand at the SOL, just before kick off. an announcement came over the public adress system for a Mr "so and so" to meet his wife, and gave a gate number. A bloke about 3 rows down got up very sheepishly and made his way out, to an instantaneous chant of "You' ve got to do the shoppin" "You've got to do the shoppin"

Rumours are he's still there clinging to the railing.

He didn't see the wet paint sign

There was once a lad sat in the row in front of me who pulled out a pack of roast beef slices for his half time snack. He stood there just rolling them up and tucking in. He even offered them around.

poor lad was only walking near the fanzone on his way to the Bridges as well had no intention of going to the match

must be one of Methvens new initiatives to boost crowds

Folk stopping till the final whistle, can never get my head around it.

New steward walking up and down the steps near me - seems to be playing Where’s Wally each game, scanning the rows of seats.

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

An accurate pass, at pace, to feet.

Edit: not from the opposition.

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

Passes forward

Two consecutive passes.

Player in red and white passing to a player in red and white and it reaches him.

Beach ball on the pitch..

5 of the players clearly not putting it in for the manager? ..now remind me how many "new ones" did he want in January!?

The steward should be clinging to his job.

15 players and a new manager would be a start

That spiderman pitch invader firing invisible webs at chelseas goalkeeper takes some beating mind. Totally turned the game on its head too. We were getting humped before he entered the pitch, proper lifted the fans spirits

That wasn't Spiderman it was a bald mag.

A Sunderland player taking a throw in on Tuesday night and it going straight to a Burton player.
I shouldn't have been surprised to be fair because I saw a different Sunderland player do the same thing against Coventry on Saturday.
In the Championship we didn't move at all at throw-in's which must have made in very difficult for the player taking the throw so I kind of understand how this has crept in to our style of play. Quite clever really.
