That's actually painful to look at because of the fucked up perspective, who designed it, MC Escher?

Man, those are horrendous. I've got those

Invest in Africa will love sponsoring a team with a facist in charge

Wish I could find that thread on RTG after he took charge, about if they would stay humble, unlike the Mags were, and not gloat about their champions league success or whatever. Important to keep your feet on the ground.

Portuguese police advice talks about the possibility of refusing stadium entry based on breathalyser tests.

This rate every ground in the country's gonna be mentioning Nelson Mandela on the same day as their previously unique event. Serves them right for trying to one-up us. "The Mags have free scarves? We have free Nelson Mandela! FTM."

Well aye, but I didn't know we weren't going to lose them when it kicked off

I pretty much hate the derbies until they're over and we've not lost.

I just don't really want to think they're a favourite for the drop when they're only 2 points behind us really - makes me uncomfortable about our own position, their current form aside.

Let's hope it doesn't end up like the last time travelling African dancers came to Sunderland http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article858822.ece

Says everything that the news report about his retirement was 95% footage of him between the ages of 18 and 20.

The more I look at it the more he could be Louise Taylor

Hard to pretend to be a football hooligan when you look like a lesbian dinner nanny http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/03/22/article-2297425-18DC10F6000005DC-238_634x360.jpg

He delayed the start of the game so that they were still playing after the other games had finished and both teams knew if they drew they'd both stay up, so they just passed it around and ran down the clock. It's one of the reasons all games on the last day must kick off at the same time.

Would at least be something if they sobered up and felt ashamed of the way they'd acted, but they went straight to twitter and YouTube to brag about it as if it was something out of Green Street.

Hope some of them get community service, I'd drive down to Wigan to spectate them painting a Sunday League team's porta-cabin and sing "You'll do what you're told"

Fucking hell, I think if I turned up to travel to an away game and found I was on the 'banter bus' I'd leap out the emergency exit and roll down the hard shoulder.

There was some Mackem standing on what looked like the roof of the Blood Centre or TA barracks place on Barrack Road today, taking off his coat to pose in his red and white shirt with SJP in the background being photographed by some guy in a hi-vis jacket. Wasn't close enough to see what he was doing, but expect some hillrious photo of a fat mackem sticking his fingers up at the ground or something on twitter in the near future. Got his coat back on sharpish and made his escape after.

Wearing a shirt you got off eBay that some sweaty Geordie probably slept in from 1992-1995 could be considered bampy as well

Don't judge MON for buying a defender when they need an attacking threat, there's no guarantee he'll play him in defence anyway.

Don't think they will, they'll manage to spin it somehow - that he was forced out by the media or whatever.

Are you being deliberately contrary? I think the general idea is that he needs to be punished for potentially wrecking someones career. Whether it gets us three points back is irrelevant. You're post is ridiculous, in fact all your posts in this thread have. So you want revenge on the scouse scum? Thats fine, but, like I suggest, it is of no benefit whatsoever to NUFC if any retrospective punishment was enforced. The FA have made c***s of themselves. If anything positive comes out of this is that maybe a shitstorm that will send the wind of change through the FA. Maybe its a benefit to see someone punished for their actions? I honestly cant see what your argument. If I was haidara I'd sue the cunt for all he had If there's one thing that will make the FA actually do something it's legal action outside of their control or jurisdiction. Going over their heads to courts will have them scrambling around desperate to not have a precedent set where things like this aren't always dealt with under their complete control, and when they protest the obvious answer will be "Well, if you're not willing to deal with matters like this, it's our only choice."

I hear in MLS they retrospectively ban people for everything from bad tackles, to diving, to crowding the referee, not particularly giving a fuck if the referee has seen it or not. Apparently there's an official YouTube channel that shows the reviewed decisions and explains the action taken. Can any fans of the league tell us if this as resulted in referees being undermined and emotionally crushed, and if you never know what the result of a game will be until lawyers have argued about it in court?

Someone on facebook arguing that they can't 're-referee' games because then every freekick, off-side etc would be disputed and results would only be provisional. As noted in that poll article How is that not re-refereeing a game? When red cards are recinded, does that mean they have to replay the last 20 minutes of the game or whatever with 11 men a side? Of course not.

The FA's excuse in their interview on the BBC implies they don't have much faith in referees, doesn't it? They don't want 're-refereeing' because if that happens then they think officials won't make important calls because they think they can do it retrospectively anyway.
