bhoywhonder Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Mate of mine works in Doxford Park and apparently they've been (trying to) give away free tickets for Bon Jovi all day as ticket sales have been so poor... bit of a pisser for them who paid full whack for theirs mind. Though to be fair..... Bon Jovi? Is it 1992 again? I hope the promoters don't pull the pink piggery from their tour circuits, Newcastle hotels must do well once both sunderland's hotels are full.

newsted Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Apparently for goal difference sake - regarding the 1-9 - they may as well have won 1-0 as average goal difference was used but that's always confused me. Average Goal Difference? How the f*** did that work? Exactly. Games played vs goals scored/conceded I think. Goal average was number of goals scored in a season divided by number of goals conceded and was used up to 1976 in the league. Must have been a fucking nightmare to work out the permutations before calculators. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average Goal Difference? How the f*** did that work? Exactly. Games played vs goals scored/conceded I think. Pretty simple. Goal difference v. goal average[edit] The different schemes can lead to strikingly different results. With the following matches: Team A 3–0 Team B Team B 6–0 Team C Team A 0–1 Team C Under goal average, Team A would win: Team Pts Pld W D L F A GA Team A 3 2 1 0 1 3 1 3 Team B 3 2 1 0 1 6 3 2 Team C 3 2 1 0 1 1 6 0.1667 Under goal difference, Team B would win: Team Pts Pld W D L F A GD Team B 3 2 1 0 1 6 3 +3 Team A 3 2 1 0 1 3 1 +2 Team C 3 2 1 0 1 1 6 −5 Goal average was replaced by goal difference due to the former's encouragement of lower-scoring games. For example, a team that scores 70 while allowing 40 would have a lesser goal average (1.750) versus another team that scores 69 while allowing 39 (1.769).

ponsaelius Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Their signings/links are weird. Not seen anything of Ba, Roberge or Cabral but the Serie A links - Diakite, Biabiany, Cavanda, Paulinho - are all very ordinary with Diakite the pick of the bunch. Quite a scattergun approach to signing players, you can tell they've got an Italian DoF/scouting system in place. Seem to be signings lots of strong, fast and athletic players though which improves chances of being a success in England and something their side desperately lacks.

Heard the same they've had to give loads of tickets away. Pretty much standard for the SoS really, but if the rock concerts aren't now filling the place then NUFC are the only show on the planet that fills the place anymore. Mind it was rumoured they even had to dish out freebies to fill the derby game last season. Joke club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though to be fair..... Bon Jovi? Is it 1992 again? I hope the promoters don't pull the pink piggery from their tour circuits, Newcastle hotels must do well once both sunderland's hotels are full. I went to see Bon Jovi. The atmosphere was dead (it was decent for a couple of their final songs), one of the people I went with is a massive Bon Jovi fan and she said it's the worst atmosphere she had been too, and she's been to hundreds of their gigs. Stadiums shouldn't host music concerts, the atmosphere just isn't there. My sister won tickets, thats I how went and when they went to pick them up today apparently loads were just getting handed over for nothing. To make matters worse we got up and close to them in a little area in front of the crowd, only gold ticket holders were allowed to do this (at least £100 per ticket) and we and loads of others were allowed in despite not being gold tickets holders. Similar things have been said about other concerts they have held there and even at SJP when we done it under the Shepard years, in my opinion it just re-enforces the need for the arena to be rebuilt to at least a 20k capacity for concerts.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Their signings/links are weird.

Seem to be signings lots of strong, fast and athletic players though which improves chances of being a success in England and something their side desperately lacks. I think Di Canio will do quite well at Sunderland (midtable) at least for a season or two until he burns himself out. The problem with Sunderland is that they currently have the most nonathletic, lazy, and unfit side in the entire league. They also have a manager who sets his team to play aggressive, fast, athletic football. Their recruitment and training under O'Neill was quite literally a joke, and the players it has left are not a match at all. So essentially, he has to identify who he wants to keep from the current rubbish and build the rest of the squad from scratch. Signing fast, strong players on free transfers and for low fees allows them to build a base and potentially buy a few bigger names to complete the team with the transfer funds or the funds from the inevitable sales. That being said, it is a very risky strategy, and it is Sunderland, so things will eventually end up with them being rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
