Wow just seen that piece of skill down on the touchline! Can't believe I missed it during the game!
Cheers Sewelly

Ryan Taylors was a stonewaller from 3 yards and he couldn't possibly get his hands out the way...
I don't think Raylor's was a penalty TBH, I hate to see those given. There's no rule that says you have to keep your hands glued to your sides. If your arm is out and the ball is kicked off it IMO it's still ball-to-hand.
The issue is with whether the handball changed the direction of the ball or not. In Taylor's case it definitely did. Not in Evra's though as his arm was tucked in.

Thought he was quite effective in our first half performance tbh. Coming back to OT, he could have easily bottled it but didn't. In the grand scheme of things he still hasn't played enough first team games to be totally immersed in his position out wide on the right. The important thing is that Pardew continue to persevere with him in training to improve his decision-making which is clearly the weakest part of his game.

Getting a more gutted as the day goes on.
I know what you mean. I don't know why but this has affected me in a big way today, as if it was someone I knew personally! He wasn't even currently involved with NUFC, yet I find myself sat in an utter gut wrench. Really awful day

Incredible.
Sometimes more poignant than a minute's silence
Didn't think clapping was appropriate at all. Found it disrespectful. But that's just my view.
Maybe, but once the little group kept clapping, the rest of the stadium had no choice but to clap along, to remove the awkwardness

I know it's trivial but it's doing my head in and sticking out like a sore on the knob, but can someone please fix the spelling in the thread title?

Come on Man City!

Is Taylor magnetically attracted to cameras and journalists?
That has to be the most pointless post I have read on here in a long long time

Just seen this on Twitter

Poor Shay
Credit to those players going out there and playing on today.They said it was a contact lense issue on Sky, like. But still, don't blame him if it isn't.
Would the teams have been offered a chance to postpone the match do you think?
Yeah, they said the ref went to both managers before the Swansea/Villa game and asked if they wanted to go ahead with the game.
Naah man, he was clearly bawling on the live television pictures. Just after the minute applause, he ran towards the touchline, camera zoomed in, and his eyes were bloodshot and moist, and he could barely talk to the physio. The tears probably caused the contact lens issue anyway

Given bawling his eyes out

I am absolutely stunned and flabbergasted by this news!! Cannot believe what I'm reading and hearing
Awful awful news
Rest In peace

my sides are almost just about nearly splitting at the last few posts on this page. Being a dorty southerner and all, im confused. Because youve changed your seating allocation for away fans, fans will lose police protection on one of the biggest derby days in English football?
Yep, that is correct.
It was very, very easy for Northumbria's finest to police from St Peters to the South Stand, it is the closest stand to any metro station. Now you are in the North Stand Upper and is a logistical nightmare from any metro station. If they still bring you from St Peters, you will get picked off all over the place having to walk past the east stand. If they bring you via Stadium of Light metro station, which is probably closer, you will have to pass the Colliery Tavern boozer. To my knowledge, their is no route which will put you out of reach of Sunderland fans picking you off.
What a gigantic bellend. f***ing picked off? What is this? Call of Duty Mackem style?
There will be no mass brawls or coordinated mackem 'pick offs' because a) the police wouldn't let it get that far and b) you c***s can't coordinate your f***ing socks in the morning.
:lol: cheers Minhosa. made my morning -
Which means the police will just not bother protecting the fans?
They can protect all they like, you will get picked off all over next game at the SOL. At present no home fan can get anywhere near because you have a walkway from the metro straight to the South Stand, this is about to change. You've obviously never seen the protection(or lack of it) that Sunlun fans get from Central Station to the Sports Direct Arena
Obviously living down south you don't attend home games, seems a familiar story on this forum. get a life man -

That's got to be the most pointless post I've seen on here for a long time.
I wish I could say you're the most pointless poster on here, but I can't, because I can't seem to be able to ignore your arrogant and self-important condescending tone. Despite me clearly stating that I was being pedantic, you still had to post about it with ridiculous hyperbole.

I did a stadium tour a couple of seasons ago during our horrible period of instability/relegation - the woman was basically making excuses for how s**** we were, and the tactics board in the changing room had stuff like Smith marking Modric. It wasn't a good time to do a tour.

It's not difficult. Robert scored more goals and did pretty much everything a little bit better than Nobby. Far better away from home, too.
Quick check on wiki says Solano scored 45 goals for us, while Robert managed 30.
Obviously in goals to games ratio Robert wins hands down. #SadPedant

Interesting that for many the Mackems are just a source of amusement. I think most of us like having them around just to make ourselves feel better, which speaks volumes.
Yup, and it's also quite interesting that there seems to be a lot of genuine hatred for Liverpool on here. Always thought it was just me.
I think the first 4-3 is what started it, and it became more than a rivalry after that game. Add to that the fact that most of my friends are Liverpool "fans". I remember having a huge argument with one of them back in my uni days over who was better, Shearer or Heskey. The year was 99 or 2000, and Shearer was an established world class center forward, recognized the world over, and Heskey had just joined Liverpool and scored a few goals at the start of the season. He was adamant that Heskey was 10 times the player Shearer ever was.
Cool story bro material I know, just had to get it off my chest for some reason
So yeah, Liverpool football club is as disgusting an organization as any I have ever come across. The red kit, the fan and media wankfest over their players and managers, justice this and justice that, YNWA, famous european nights, and all that nauseating cack.

APOEL have qualified through the group stages.
big celebrations over here since the final whistle. Stunning achievement! Hope they draw Barcelona or Real.

I suggest you watch the game again and answer your question.
No shame at all in upgrading, but it isn't a priority at the moment, not at RB at least.
