  1. There's a lot of truth in that, in my experience. Younger lads at work who go to a lot of aways, don't seem to know any of our songs bar Bruno's in the middle.
  2. And with the added advantage of having the refs and VAR in their back pocket.
  3. If there was ever any doubt that the game's bent as fuck...
  4. I've said this forever. Ex players with obvious bias shouldn't be commentating on their old clubs. We've seen retrospective action taken in the past, because the commentators made such a song and dance about certain incidents.
  5. And Mendy gets booked for that... Not even a foul.
  6. I agreed with Souness there, but it's a pity no one had the balls to say "well you'd know"
  7. Here we go again, that challenge was much worse than Bruno's the other week. Straight red all day long.
  8. Unfortunately this is exactly how I can see next weekend's game playing out. Similar sort of goal to both of yesterday's as well.
  9. How come Bruno gets a red and a three game ban for a similar tackle, yet that wasn't even seen as a foul?

  11. I was obsessed with Supermac at the time (being seven years old and him being awesome), but I don't think he played that day and it didn't matter. I can remember the classic first game thing of thinking the pitch was the greenest grass I'd ever seen and all the sounds - "HOW. MAN HEY MAN! HOWAY!" etc, and the smells - piss, peanuts, tab smoke and beery breath. I loved every second of it and I begged my dad to take us again.
  12. Tommy Gibb got the second goal in a 2-1 in my first game, Nov "73 against Stoke.
  13. Terry Mac for me as well - a few months before in a 2-1 win against Stoke.
  14. Hopefully this. And when safe standing is established, maybe go to the German standard, which is something like 1.7 people per seated space, increasing the capacity greatly.
  15. I think this is the most likely - once all the tickets are sold they'll have more of an idea of the demand for a big screen at the ground or the function rooms being opened etc.
  16. Was originally a makem thing about Stokoe in '73, but has been attributed to us ever since. Absolutely cringable.
  17. That's a change of ends from the last five times we've been to Wembley. Hopefully it'll bring a change of luck.
  18. You can see SJP from Cleadon Hills which is about 13 miles.
  19. Not much quality in this game, and it's even quieter than last night.
  20. And whilst the tie is still not out of sight in our favour, VAR will give us nowt either.
