TK-421

My latest DHGate snides have been dispatched by uncle Jing. Will post up some pics when they arrive, but hoping he's got it reet and sent the 'fans' versions as ordered.

Got the email through earlier to download the digital tickets for the Sela Cup next weekend.

Looks decent that, and with quicker delivery times than DHGate. Will save the website for future reference, and incase 'Wor Jing' lets me down on my next couple (hoping for fan versions with embroidered badges).

It's nee "Sunderland Till I die" like! Hehe, that looks like it'll be class, like. And with a (spoiler alert) happy ending.

RTG's take on The1975 incident over the weekend...

Stayed up for this last night, and feel absolutely wrecked this morning, so just WFH. Decent enough match, both sides still a bit rusty, and trying some things out and giving fringe players some game time. and I'm sure things will be a lot differnet for the opening PL match. Some strange games/results in this tournament so far though... 4-3, 3-2, 3-3. Good entertainment though for the Americans and the travelling fans. Don't think I'll be staying up for the next one though, as I'll have to be 'In' work the next day.

Aye, another on the ignore list, here.

This thing with other clubs kicking up a stink... maybe they've seen the reported fee and thiunk we're underselling, and actually have our back and want us to get more for ASM, and not sell cheaply to another PIF owned club just because of the joint ownership?

Totally agree, and I'm at the age now where even though I coudl afford it, I can't justify spending £70 for a football shirt for myself, especially given I wouldn't wear it that often other than watching the match at home or in the pub, so a snide that looks decent enough until scrutinised next to a genuine one, is fine by me. And the snides generally are all much better than they used to be 'when we were kids'. That said, looks like the green away shirt will stand oot a mile though! Haha

Maybe not teens, but I think its perfectly acceptable to buy these for younger kids for knocking about in and ruining, rather than £50 a pop for the genuine ones. Lad at work has 2 sons (under 10s) and he gets them the snides as its roughly £12 each for full kits with shirt, shorts and socks. Same would cost about £60 each for genuine. Its a no brainer for younger bairns, really.

Got my first from Jing, which was a 'player' version, and was generally fine, and has the 'patch' crest and vinyl castore badge. Ordered a couple more (one each for me and my son) but these are supposed to be 'Fans' versions with the embroidered badges. If he ballses those up then the juries out on him.... Haha, so Fingers crossed! But i've said it before, regardless of reviews/orders and others experiences, I think its a pure lottery what will turn up from most of the DHGate sellers.

Ouch! Based on those two away shirts, I think the snides are best avoided, unless just for the bairns to knock about in.

Good save by Earps... very Nick Pope

I think it originally came from him liking Asda (pizza counter) Pizzas, and tweeting a lot about them, before he becme 'connected' and 'ITK'.

I think the only time the refs explanation is helpful, was on the first pella call which was disallowed, as it explained that it wasn't given due to a foul in the builld up, which many in the stadium may not have seen. But aye, when its given, just pointing to the spot is clear enough, no need to announce they're giving it too.

Nee flies on wor jing, like...

Just watched that goal compilation. Didn't realise he'd scored as many for Leicester. Look forward to seeing him playing for us even more now, as he certainly knows where the goal is, and how to finish.

Turns out it was pretty close to that ManU shirt then.

Seems to tally with this too... Also looks like it was him pitchside on those potato / minecraft photos psoted earlier, too.

Wonder what mackems would think if Henderson went to Saudi, earned his (reported) £100m wages, and then on retirement decided he wanted to buy their club, and pump loads of money into it? You know, all that 'Blood Money'?

Just checked my latest order for 2 shirts (another for me and one for son), and they are both still 'processing', and they were both ordered and supposed to be 'Fans' versions. However, just looking at my past orders and my first shirt ordered was in fact the 'Players' shirt, and hadn't realised was also ordered from wor jing! Lets hope he gets it reet and sends the fans versions of these next two, not more players versions with stuck on badges.

I guess that will that be the fall back option for later in the window, depending on other / permanent transfers? Even wil loan with option to buy, selling clubs woudl probably rather try and sell outright first.

So maybe I'm just owld fashioned, or not up to speed, but I thought you had to have an offer submitted/accepted, or at least talks with the owning/selling club first, THEN the player, otherwise it was an illegal approach? Seems now you make an offer/agreement with the player, and THEN approach the selling club to try and agree a transfer fee? Amarite?

The club must be or have to hold off even announcing/unveiling any new kits until Castore have them ready to go on sale. This despite Darlow and Karius wearing new keeper kits on saturday. Castore are an absolute shitshow, and surely grounds for the club to sack them off after this season??!!
