Not won at Wembley since 1925.

Just watched the interview. He’s 100% getting fined, calls it a ‘shocking’ decision several times, says it’s a huge mistake and references it changing the game a lot too.
He also cites previous mistakes made by that ref (including mentioning our game v Luton!) as to why they didn’t want him to ref today as he ‘knew it would happen’.
It’s actually a pretty composed interview but lots of overt criticism of the ref. I mean fair play, but fine incoming!
Is it true Sunderland have employed nonces in the past?

Same armchair fans making the same mistakes week in week out. Both calls were correct
Exactly, no matter how good they are that’s always around your neck

And if they were refs they would have said it’s a red
we all know it’s not going to be as easy as some are making out, even Sunderland in their recent form haven’t been getting hammered, ( apart from by us ) but i can only see us winning, think as we’re in that atmosphere You don’t appreciate what it’s actually like, spoke to a boro fan who was there Saturday, said it was actually intimidating, so it must have a big effect on the other team, its Gonna be even better tomorrow,

“Accidental” is not part of the law. It has to be an “attempt to play the ball” if accidental came into it Da Silva would have a good case for appeal

If it's a painful ending for us on pens like the last time, it will take me more than a few hours to get over it.

Not a particular stone we want to be throwing given the ongoing situation with our (former) drummer.

He’s obviously disappointed, but he can have no complaints about the decision.

Bristol City were open to the ball behind their defence it was always going to happen.

Blatant red card for the Bristol player, double jeopardy is for genuine attempts to win the ball for things like miss timed tackles.
If the scenario plays our exactly the same but the Bristol player doesn't wrap his legs around and play the ball after the foul, it would still be a penalty and red card and nobody would be saying it was controversial. The fact that he's played the ball after the foul is clouding people's judgement.

Pressure is on Sunderland pal you've been in the playoffs most of the season and will unlikely have another season as good as this one.We would of been happy staying up and going again next season but we sneaked in.Will be a good encounter over the two legs we needs a few goals head start,but to be fair I don't want to go Wembley again ole ole and lose to Sheffield United as they are better than both of us.

Sheffield united already had the edge over the other teams in the playoffs and now I can't help but feel that having the first game locked up and likely to tie gives them an even greater chance, they can rest players as soon as they get that one more goal or even before the ball is kicked. Makes them even bigger favourites now unfortunately.

The terminology used states “non-deliberate” probably should’ve gone word for word.

A reasonable question, but he got everything spot on last night including 2 highly contentious decisions.
