We did our bit


Some of the responses here, and especially on Twitter, have been fu*king criminal.

I get that mags will take the piss over anything and everything (seagulls ffs), but the response from some of our own "supporters" has been a disgrace and I'm gutted for the lads and lasses that gave up their time to do it.

Most seem more bothered what "the mags will say" than anything else. I thought it was f***ing class and contributed to the stadium rocking.

Anyone suggesting foul-play can fu*k off as far as I'm concerned.

Shock horror as you can't get thousands of people to make perfect lettering.

There's fuck all wrong with it as you can clearly see what it says without issue.

Go back and analyse other clubs who've done displays like this and you'll find the same thing.

Just speaking my mind, i thought it looked a bit naff, especially compared to some others weve done (Cat Eyes) Dortmund are the elite of TIFO displays and that looks perfect to me,

Although i didnt know about the club not helping with it, maybe i was just wound up already given what had gone on in the build up to the game from the club, didnt want to give them T**Ts up the road any more ammo, and theyve rinsed us for it

With this kind of work your always going to get negative comments, don’t take it personal lads
This forum is a great example people believe they have the right to criticise without backing it up or willing to do better.
Life’s a bitch and some people are not worth the bother.
I don’t blame the lads packing in mainly due to the club being so negative to support these lads.
The club love using the images which is a piss take.

You spelt sillyclunt wrong mate
 
A couple of weeks to get sorted again for the Hull game and the Sky cameras. Always looks great on TV. I just wish I lived closer as I'd love to help out.

You never got out of second gear, but relied on an own goal to go in ahead at the break?

Eddie Howe must be really confident in your second half ability......

I'm fairly confident Isak would have put it away anyway. There was no need though, very tidy finish from your lad. Though that doesn't surprise me, he was actually the only one of your players that looks decent. Quite impressed with him.

Chuck him upfront. You have issues at centre forward, and he knows where the top corner is.

Haway man, look at the font and the lay out of the letters, i was embarrassed stood opposite this to be honest, said to my mate The bloody mags will have field day with this, and from looking at twitter they have, are these not planned out precisely from a seating plan or have we just wung it, holes in the letters look odd, last E bigger than the first, odd sized W,

I may have just missed things in the past but I always thought you were a decent poster before reading that mind

Am I right in thinking you don't even support Sunderland?

You would think in light of the recent PR disasters KLD should be personally contacting you and asking how he could be of help.
It’s beyond belief really.

I really think the club have been a disgrace on this one like, pretty much ever since the group formed. It's not like they're the green brigade at celtic where you can imagine the political nature of their messaging etc might make them a hassle that a club could do without.

These lads have just done pro Sunderland displays throughout, only asking for one which was more risqué due to being a derby display. Fans generally love the displays, they look great for the club from a marketing perspective and they don't even need to get off their arse to make them happen.

To throw constant roadblocks at the lads, to move goal posts, to do things like not even providing a bit of water for people doing an actual full shift in the ground. It's pathetic.

And ultimately they've pushed and pushed until the lads have given up. Hope they're proud of themselves. At a time when the club could really do with keeping fans onside they've got rid of one of the things that 99% of the fans enjoyed and supported, for no good reason and no benefit. The bairn loved the displays, they made matches feel like an occasion. It's hard enough to keep their interest and get them hooked. What an absolute shame
