my point is and always has been, why would our supporters embarrass themselves by cheering and celebrating a goal going in elswhere that had fuck all to do with SAFC or our prospects on the pitch? It's an alien concept to me and not one I've ever seen happen before with the exception of Newcastle going down, but that I can understand - Hell, I even joined in. Because it was Newcastle. And we'd just stayed up.
Clearly most people understand this, but are incapable of putting together a counter argument - the arrogant, glory seeking line just doesn't wash with me as they've always had excellent and vocal away support, plus anyone who has success like they have had has a right to. Instead they decide to fire off abuse at the poster rather than the post which, in my book is almost as sad as the actions of some of our supporters Mr Rooney, Mr Ferguson and co have lamented.
Agree with this anarl. Sunderland supporters support Sunderland.
Don't give a toss who the opposition was, the reaction of our fans was OTT. If we could get behind SAFC for 90 minutes it might be a better use of their energy.
