sunderland 1 - 1 Newcastle United - 21/10/12 - post-match reaction from page 39

Taylor, a local lad, had been expected to partner Coloccini but found himself watching Mike Williamson do that.

 

On Tyneside the belief was that Taylor’s seat on the bench was a consequence of an interview he gave last week in which he said no Sunderland players would get in the Newcastle starting XI and that he would rather ‘collect stamps’ than play for the Wearsiders.

What irritated me a great deal was the ref pulling stuff back after he'd played advantage. How long can it go on for? There was a case where I think Cabaye had a hack at Johnson and failed, ref played advantage, Johnson tried to beat the next guy, crossed it, we cleared it, ref pulls it back for the Cabaye challenge. So how long does the advantage last?

I wonder how Wireside felt when the invisible Sessegnon was HAULED OFF in the 2nd half.

 

Didn't realise Adam Johnson was playing until he got hauled off :lol:.

Aye, I've mentioned that bit a couple of times as well, it was the worst bit of refereeing today IMO. Making a mistake is human and understandable, but that was a complete lack of knowledge of the game.

Just back home. I had a proper good time like. Would have been nice to hold on, but I never expected to, and thought we were fucked when Tiote got sent off. To get a draw from that, and only cos of a fluke is a credit. Although the mackems really were much poorer than I expected.

 

And that period in the second half where we were singing Liam O'brien, Andy O'brien for ages, with the back wall banging was class, hope yous could hear it on tv. It certainly wound the mackems up.

I can honestly see the Mackems being in some serious shit. I mean today they should have been fired up and even after us going down to 10 men they did nothing with the ball, they have had 1 win this season and that was too Wigan and Wigan should have at least got a point from that game, all the rest have been draws, they just simply aren't god enough. They offer nothing going forward, I mean Rose is supposed to be good going forward but didn't doesn't do anything and every time I've seen him play he gets skinned by whoever he is up against, Johnson today proved simple marking rules him out of a game, Mcclean is starting to become another Cattermole thug, Fletcher gets no service, Jack Colback isn't allowed to go forward which is his game really, a good pass on him but no one to pass too, Sess is possibly the most over rated in the Premiership at the moment, has a decent game every 25 games. If it wasn't for a few teams being worse then them then I'd be very worried about being dragged into a relegation fight. I think they will be fine this season, but if they don't sort it out then they will be serious trouble.

I'd like to take the positives from this.

 

I've been thinking all season that the players seemed strangely lethargic, but we seemed to have that spring in our step back for this match.

 

I think everyone's been suffering from a bit of a motivational crisis after coming down from the highs of last season, but this match showed that they're still capable of getting it together when they need to. Maybe it was just an isolated incident due to it being the derby, but hopefully this is something we'll be able to take into the next game.

 

They were ridiculously poor and without the sending off I was feeling like we could score 3~4 goals. Sending off was a bit harsh but there was no reason whatsoever for Tiote to be lunging at the ball like that after the whistle had gone already. His aggressive tendencies are getting a bit irritating now and he needs to learn how to control himself.

Under the circumstances, it was an excellent display against what is a very poor Sunderland side though.

 

I thought other than Colo, Willamson was superb at the back and Simpson did a top job on McClean.

 

If ot wasnt for Tiote's dismissal, I think we would have beaten them by two or three goals. Demba should really have scored a couple of goals. They werent difficult chances for a player of his quality.

 

On this display, Sunderland will be fighting off relegation if they are not careful.

At one point well into the game the commentator mentioned his name and myself and about 4 other people around me all said something along the lines of "Wow, I'd forgotten Johnson was playing" :lol:

Anyone get "picked off" by Wireside and his chums on their way to the Tullow Tip ?

 

The walk up from St Peters was as uneventful as ever. Other than at the station, you barely saw a mackem.

Yeah, I saw no bother at all.  Though 2 hours to get us onto the Metro's is an absolute joke.
