Seeing as Longside upper not open will not be buyong a ticket ... will watch on SKY+ ... I think many will do the same, it's like the club create a scenario so it gives them traction further down the line.

Why do they jump from.one extreme to the other. All stands open to closures of 3 sections around the ground.

Closing the upper tier of the Longside is daft. Just close the Jimmy Mac completely.

How dare you use common sense.

This ticketing decision borders on being moronic.

8.5, so close to being perfect. The form of Foster has really made our forward line stronger than it might first have seemed. Finally, we look like a competitive unit in the centre of the park, something that has been overlooked in so many of the seasons at this level. There are players in the squad...

After the window closes I would hope we more or less have a settled first XI. Players like Hannibal, Brunn Larsen, Tchouna, Foster/Broja will be around the starting line up but will probably spend the majority of the time on the bench, they may even swap places on a week by week basis Some weeks Han...

I haven't read through all of this thread but I wonder why the referee awarded the penalty against Anthony when - if it was a foul - it started - the shirt tug - outside the penalty area. Should the free kick have been given where the incident started? No longer the case, if the pull continues into...

as it's the most recent, let's not pretend there aren't loads because there are. The refs have become robots with zero personality, it must be rubbish for them.

Our ref and Var officials from yesterday should never be anywhere near a PL game again. Be interesting to see if if he refs any of our home games this season ?

Mate, you can take any football fan and they'll tell you there is zero chance the Fulham goal should be ruled out yesterday.

it doesn't need someone to know the laws of the game to see a "coming together" isn't often a foul. Use it for serious foul play if you must but let the refs ref the game, we've managed for over 100 years without it, there are 3 leagues here that don't have it and they get on fine. This hiding behi...

VAR needs reviewing. I have said from the start, if you use technology then it has to be a black and white decision. A incident occurs, in scenario one the on field referee gives a foul, in scenario two the on field referee waves play on. VAR gets involved and sticks with the on field decision, the...

there's no excuse to not have ex players involved in VAR, even less of an excuse to not turn the ******* thing off.

He should be on three goals from 3 games so far, and that's with not a whole lot of chances. Plus his hold up play and strength has been spot on.

i've just watched that 'fall' three times on iplayer.

he was on his way down before anthony let go of his shirt.

a blatant dive and the frantic reaction afterwards is just as much cheating as the act of diving.

His 'attempt' in the first half when Hartman won the ball was another example.

Goody1975

If the powers that be had a zero tolerance and hard line attitude to simulation, in all it's forms, then they'd make the game a better spectacle for the fans but also help their officials out immeasurably.

That isn't just in game but also retrospective punishments.

Goody1975

Amad is an example of what is wrong with modern football.

He has a major problem with his legs going to sleep but pundits and fans have been brainwashed over decades to accept that it's part of the game and in fact to celebrate it as 'good play'.

Ramsey grew into the game and wanted the ball at every opportunity. Pires was very good again at left back. Worrall was a hell of a lot more composed than at Deepdale last season. Tchaouna is our version Saint-Maximin Banel could be a very good impact sub this season Magic Mike just has that bit of ...

The old firm games used to be enjoyable to watch, in a large part because of the atmosphere.

The decision to play silly beggars with each other by severely restricting the away allocations, means it's a nothingness fixture now. The quality of the players just adds to the general meh about it.

Some posters may have over egged the situation but they are no worse than the posters on here who populate the thread with their condescending and dismissive attitude.

Just because it doesn't affect you, doesn't mean it's not a big issue for others

So the claim that we are giving away fans 3000 tickets isn’t quite factual then? My guess would be 1,500 in the home section and around 2,600 in the away end (when all the work/approval talked about in the opening post is complete). Cup games are 15% of capacity. so the issue will come when we need...

Because they didn't give them all the seats, just 2200. Leisure, read the opening post on this thread. 1. Liverpool have been allocated 2,350 tickets. 2. They are telling their supporters that the empty seats are for a reason, their information suggests the capacity of the away end will increase ov...

My mistake.Sorry.I confused ref ratings with player ratings

My issue with the officials yesterday was them wearing black shorts and socks (the same as the away side).

Surely there must be an alternative if one of the sides is playing in all black?

What does the full stand hold?

In terms of seats, it will be around 4,000, I'm not sure if the change of seats (to plastic ones) has made any difference to this.

We don't seem to sell all the seats in the home section though.

Goody1975

Did the referee and his assistants, just for one moment think about their attire when leaving the dressing room?

It's not like Sunderland are playing in black shorts and socks.

IMO he could well be the missing link in our defence. A chain is only as good as the links in it, if one of them is broken then the chain will fail. He will be useless to us if he can't play on a consistent basis, even if this is just because of the lack of familiarity and consistency in selection....

I agree with what most have said, ultimately it is a good plan, although it does seem to make the game a little rushed sometimes.

It's easy for Oliver to do it to little old Burnley.

They have always had the power to enforce the time the keeper holds the bal...

We could be at our maximum every week and still go down.

I'm obviously not happy with the result but in patches there has been encouraging signs, the acid test will be when we get our strongest XI out.

Yes, but look at the game next to it.

So as expected, two exits for approx 2,300 fans and one exit for the home fans.

The extra capacity underneath (or second floor concourse) has to be a priority. An additional exit to the side of the stand (in between the safe standing and seats could possibly help relieve crushing.

Ramsey is clearly a talent but he’s not going to progress being a bit part player, I think a loan would be the best move for him. But in the same breath when the club spends 12-14m on a player you want to see a return for that, not loaning them out. A loan till January would be ideal for everyone, ...
