Homme Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Laughed at how tinpot Sunderland are allowing Newcastle to take over their stadium bar - removed all Sunderland signage and replace it with Newcastle stuff. They've given into home fan pressure this evening but imagine even thinking about doing that to your own stadium to accommodate a rival. St Mirren of course a comparison up here with the Celtic shop incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A breathtakingly insulting decision for the Sunderland fans. Cannot have been a decision made by anyone that actually cares about the club, its history or identity. That is an absolute embarrassment.

Samuel Camazzola Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Woeful but unsurprising decision with the red card. Officials have lost a grip but unfortunately it's going to continue. VAR shouldn't be switched on in this competition since it's only available at certain grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Stonewall red card under present day rules. Went onto challenge with studs up and foot raised so no alternative other than red. It wasn't soft, I'll admit it wasn't malicious, but that catches Palace guy full on instead of just on side of leg, it would have caused serious damage. We would have been raging if that had been on Newell on Shankland. Folk complaining that it should be allowed still living in 1970''s need to realise that football has changed.

jock _turd Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 No dog in this fight but I think it was borderline just catches the players shin but four inches more and it is a leg breaker .

You were watching a different game to me he gets the ball only after he makes contact with the players shin. It was borderline but no way does he win the ball before he straight legs the players shin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
