Lets be honest youd be the same

Plenty of times in the prem under mcclaren when yous got battered and the “crowd” vanished

Apart from the one left who hoyed his season ticket in the dutch ones face

Same year we reached the UEFA cup final. Was a mad season that one.

I think we can all agree, the ref won you the game yesterday, We move on ,

Dan Neil was a silly boy.

Dan Neil was a silly boy.

Filled it for the comeback in the semi-final though, was such a memorable night, so forgive me for not looking back with regret over the fact we didn't fill our stadium every home match that season.

Half hearted support.

I'd say an average of 26k in a 32k seater stadium is a bit more than half full.

Your stadium capacity is only 32k?

 

[ajsafc]

The ref needs to remember this is top level sport where emotions get very high, imagine we get him again this season! Snipers on the roof & all kinds.

Nar its higher. He actually made that up to make it sound better

No, I've actually been to a cup final and seen my club win a trophy.

Not every Sunderland fan on here can say the same.

Hopefully he'll have the sense to ask the FA not to referee our games in the future unless he's got the skin of a Rhino but doubt it

It’s in the same clip, just after the elbow into the face.

it wasn’t just two players going in for the ball though was it? Your player deliberately lead with his elbow into Ballard’s face. Ballard’s reaction and the melee afterwards tells its own story.

Glad we’re agreed that an elbow into the face of an opponent is a red card offence.

I said a deliberate elbow. I didn’t see one and neither did any of the officials or even Mowbray who must have been pretty close to it. I’ll have another look at the match this evening and give you an honest assessment when I’ve viewed it all again

 

[seahamstar]

Yes

Whatever.
Basically, you had a player sent off for two yellows - both correctly given .
Your team then couldn't adapt to the situation and were absolutely played off the park for ALL of the second half.

There's barely a weekend goes by without someone getting sent off - it happens, it happened to us at your place last season, remember ?

Not Boro's or the refs fault that your team (or manager) failed to cope with it
