    Sunderland away tickets

    Yeah. Although wouldn’t that first season have ‘wiped’ now anyway? Or is that from next season? I dunno. Just musing now.

    Sunderland away tickets

    Family zone Season tickets last three seasons, plus Wembley trips, all home cup games, no away games and I’m on 960. didn’t have a season ticket for the 2021-2022 season as went to most games on JSB family voucher tickets.

    Sunderland away tickets

    It’s got nothing to do with ‘now we’re doing well’ - but I see people on a million points getting narky cos someone has got one thru a supporters club. I’m generally interested to see, as for someone who doesn’t check for every game what the crack is…. It’s how it seemed but actually as has...

    Muchos gracias. May mean nothing for next season depending how we get on in playoffs of course.

    Sunderland away tickets

    On a wider point, I would like to know how many in each band, but also if anyone can tell me, how many away games this season got to either general sale or lower points brackets. I realise it’s allocation dependent but would be interested to know to see what the ‘choice’ is like. I’ve said...

    Ref again

    Don’t think I’ve ever seen a free kick given. Yellow cards for time wasting but never a free kick.

    Not getting a head of ourselves ….

    I know what you mean. My earliest childhood memory was the immediate aftermath of 87 and it going off in the streets, flags everywhere, horns etc And if we get there and it’s Sheffield utd and we lose, how shit is that gonna be with Hamer and O’Hare…. Although I would be 1% pleased that COH...

    Baller League

    Won’t last long this…. Keeps kicking off every night. Last night pretty bad and all mic’ed up too. Either ex pro’s not liking being tackled and then fouling everyone, or wannabes wanting to make a name. It’s like the worst of the connexion with some YouTubers and ‘celebs’ added to the mix

    Here’s the bit in the rules for reference.

    Ref again

    Interesting point on the 6 second rule…. The law says can’t hold ball in hand for longer than 6 seconds before releasing it….. I’ve seen that interpreted somewhere that if the keeper bounces the ball it resets the timer, although if he’s seen to be clearly time wasting then he should be penalised.

    Ref again

    Ref again

    He shouted ‘Matty’ to Grimes and also when Rudoni had the issue with the keeper he said ‘Rudi’. Also the 4th official when we were doing the subs was shouting “haji”. Don’t know if he’d reffed them before but I thought that was better than usual.

    BTA > Simms

    Different types of player. Simms I didn’t think really got in the game - I think we worked hard, and there were times he should have been played in by wright and wasn’t. But this game towards the end suited Asante and he played really well when he came on. Stick with simms up top for now (if...

    Ref again

    The ref in the Sunderland 3-0 game was the best I’d seen this season But yeah today he kept control, handled the players really well. No really contentious decisions. Even prem refs/lino’s won’t get everything right but you do see a noticeable difference generally.

    Things that annoy you

    Bar etiquette seemingly not being a thing with most people now ie. If you know someone has been waiting longer than you, you let them go. a good bar staff should know who is next granted, but it just seems no-one gives a fuck any more, every man/woman for themselves. I’d like to say it’s the...
