He was back and forwards last night along the East Stand, today he was just working his way along to the Gallowgate corner, two stewards stepped out as though to tell him to stop again when he reached them, so he nipped into the concourse entrance before them and back out the next concourse and back to his place nearer the Leazes. It looked like the stewards just didn't have the balls to stop him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No word of a lie, and this sounds cheesy as fuck, but she said to me 'Daddy, am I dreaming?' Fucking wonderful stuff. Lucky you My 2 were an absolute pain in the arse from about 60 minutes onwards 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I was sat next to a couple of kids who wanted to be absolutely anywhere else from the moment they sat down before KO. I get if you're a parent, taking them to the game is a big moment if you're a big fan, but I dunno why you'd bother if they clearly aren't interested.

I suppose a friendly is an ideal opportunity to trial it and see how they get on? Less important if they act like prats and disrupt people nearby. If they enjoy it you know you can try more, if they don’t, you know not to bother again for a year or two Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) I was sat a few rows behind Bob Moncur. Fella is showing his age. Didn't stop folk from pestering him for a selfie.

Yes but he's a frail old man. He was on crutches, yet people still felt the need to get him up for a selfie. Like I appreciate he's a club legend, but leave him be.

relámpago blanco Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I thought we were excellent again today, couldn't compete with the fresh legs in the 2nd half but to win both games whilst not really making changes till the end says a lot. Maxi looks great, like the player he should be, he has all the skill in the world but its not all about him now and he seems to get that now. It seems to be all clicking. We definitely need more in the final third but I am so impressed with the way we have played in both games. There is an ethos, we've not had that going into a season.

huss9 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 just goes to show how most clubs are going to suffer with the new 5 subs rule. bigger teams just bring on a load of fresh top class internationals on in the second half and blow the opposition away.
