Watched the last few episodes over this weekend. Coleman's response was a bit odd too- "I've got a wife and 6 kids- and you're calling me a prick?!?" Maybe in Wales they judge whether someone is a prick or not on a sliding scale by how many children they have?!?

Everything they say and do always comes back to us man, you should know that by now. Couple on my facebook posted about the boxing day attendance and ended with "ftm." It was nowt to do with us, we weren't playing them, we were hundreds of miles away (playing in front of a bigger crowd fwiw) but aye, ftm, that showed us!!

Definitely for the best on this occasion. Sets a worrying precedent if we ever draw them away in the FA Cup though when we should be getting 15%. Do they just get to say "sorry, we can't accommodate that amount safely due to the design of our stadium and the police agree. You can have 2,800 and we'll sell the rest to home fans"?? Seems a bit unfair.

I understand why people are going to take the piss but do you not think it's gonna look embarrassing when a bunch of knackers turn up and start smashing up seats at what essentially is a kids match for us?

Needs not blowing out of all proportion this like. It's a shit song sang on Wednesday by a minority of fans present. Those singing it are clearly ignorant of Newcastles own problems and aren't bright enough to think up anything new, creative or amusing. Fwiw "your support is fucking shit" and "is this a library" both also got an outing and both can also be filed as above. It's rank bad crack but nobody has gone around mocking Hillsborough or chanting racist abuse or owt. If anything the "neeone tells me not to carry on like an utter bellend at the match" brigade will be loving all the attention they're getting from it.

I also think that the clubs should be able to send observers to the disciplinary proceedings. Good idea this like. Just no transparency or accountability to the process at all.

I mean is that not the same as yesterday? Could pretty much change the names from dann and niasse to dummett and salah.

Maybe the threshold is something to do with one of the league's ("brand's") best players being available for an upcoming top of the table clash which is being broadcast live by the league's biggest financial benefactor?

This is a very good point. There are situations where it is agreed that the incident isn't necessarily a dive or a foul so can the opposite not also be true? Fwiw, I think yesterday's incident fits this- putting my tin hat on because I'll get pelters, Dummett reached out on purpose and grabbed Salah by the shoulder and gives him a tug-albeit a slight one- back. Anywhere else on the pitch it's a clear foul and it was a daft thing to do in the box. However that in no way justifies Salahs reaction which was as clear an attempt to exaggerate the effect of contact- which I believe is one of the FAs definitions of simulation?-as you'll ever see. In fact the reaction was so over the top I'd say it comes close to bringing the game into disrepute. I don't see why it can't be a penalty but still a punishment for simulation and I'm sure there are other instances most weeks which would fit this description as well.

Pretty sure that goal line technology would show that’s further over the line than the one that was a gnat’s pube over against us earlier this season. I know it's division 3 but I'm quite surprised the EFL doesn't have the money to kit out all grounds with goal line technology. It's a professional league and can't cost that much, surely? £250,000 per stadium IIRC Fuck me, how much. I'm in the wrong business!! Not at all surprised now like.

Although pre-rebrand, we got 48,000 at home to Bournemouth in the Third Division (in about 1972). Just had a similar discussion with my father in law. Ended up with him saying "but that was division three, not league one." It was rebranded to league 1 about 10 years ago. They're wanking themselves silly over having a record attendance for a league that has only "existed" (in that name) for 10 years.

I only heard feed the scousers once tbf, just after the third went in. Some knobs near me tried to get sign on going at the beginning when they all got their scarves our for YNWA but it didn't really take off. Was better than I expected on that front.

Mike Dean has a face you could never tire of slamming a car door on while holding it in the way. And that's before he even picked up a whistle for the first time.

Not at SJP I don't think, but loads of times at away games. If the pair of you have never heard it at SJP you must be very young. It was the norm believe me Can fully imagine it being an absolute cesspit in the '80s like. I'm a scumbag '92er so I've never heard it. "He's black, he's broon, he plays for the Toon, Franz Carr, Franz Carr!" used to get the occasional airing in the 91/92 season. Heard a couple years ago that in the 90s some of the older members of our support used to refer to Andy Cole by the affectionate nickname "Blackie Milburn." Never heard it at the time myself like.

Terrible Worst chant of the day was three lads in the bar afterwards trying to get this going: "I would rather have a rondon, rather have a rondon, rather have a rondon than a condom." It didn't catch on

The last one was narrated by MLF gina mckee and when peter reid wasn't swearing it primarily featured interviews with the same recurring sunderland fans through the season. It was what made it mint. There's no fun Netflix running a program that goes "hey everybody, this is sunderland afc lets al laugh at how shit they are. Oh look they've gone and got themselves relegated to division three now, ha ha dumbasses." It'll be funny because this is them trying to present themselves to the outside world in the best possible light and it'll still be shit. Admittedly it won't have the comedy gold of announcing the new stadium name and the feller in the butchers is unlikely to make an appearance but I reckon it will be good for a few laughs.

They tried that with Premier Passions, the whole basis was about how special the club is, the passion is passed down from generation to generation of salt of the earth shipbuilders etc. They looked bad.

Been reliably informed by a sunderland season ticket holder that the new owners binned that policy at the start of the season.

What was his argument like? Was it "no Yedlin wasn't pulled back?" (He clearly was) or was it along the lines if "he was pulled back but no it doesn't count as a foul." If so, why? Shirt tugging is a foul regardless of how hard the shirt is tugged. Is it because it was on a Newcastle player? I'd imagine he wasn't challenged any further on it but I'd love to know what the fucking logic is behind that position.

Felt that tackle from here!!

Pen for me but I can see why he's given high feet

That would explain it then Still a good tackle mind, shouldn't have been a free kick. Cracking goal there from boca!!

Not sure what that free kick was given for in Boca-River? And surely once given it had to be red not yellow, being last man just outside the D??
