Match Thread: Sunderland v Lincoln City

[Rasenimp]

Just seeing the bit where Wyke told some blokes to jog on, football fans are pathetic sometimes. Just giving a player loads of grief then losing it when he says anything back

 

[PerthImp]

Poole did everything right. Will that boy ever score for us?

He’s saving it

 

[Red Wimp]

Just read the Times' report of the game and in the player ratings at the end, they gave both Walsh and Eyoma a 5, along with Johnson. Make of that as you will.

I’ll make of that they don’t know our players.
That or they don’t use the Scotimp scale .

And told their fans to fuck off, legend!

RTG is funny. The same keyboard warriors that are absolutely destroying Wyke and Johnson without mercy are then calling out the fans who 'said it' to their faces.

Apparently it's ok to abuse them behind their backs but not to their faces.

About as accurate as the BBC report that said Rogers cleared Wyke's shot off the line..

Painfully embarrassing that one.

Thought I was going mad when I read that, had to re watch the highlights!

 

[John Bigbooté]

Yeah that threw me too. Report itself is good, curiously to online and print versions quite different, the print report makes much of MA's hairdryer moment and the effect it had.

Online team often has 20 minutes to desk, sub and publish. The reporter often refiles revised copy afterwards with more time for consideration - haven't read in print but I'd wager it was filed after the post-match interviews.

Print then has several hours until publication.

Conned by the keeper?

Don't think so, the keeper looks like he is going the right way to me. If I had the ability to change my mind at that point I'd be going right as we look at it.

He's just stood a bit over I guess. It was basically the worst place to put it.

I'm sure mapp said before about having a place to put pens that statistically is more likely to go in, imagine its not waist height to the keepers strong side

"Charlie Wyke has just told us to feck off"

Aye I wonder why when you're all shouting abuse at him when he's off home

 

[nlondonimp]

He did get booked for it, unlike Szmodics, and didn't win a penalty.

However, Salisbury was lenient with his petulance late on, delaying their free kick and he could have been sent off, but I appreciate your advocacy for the Devil.

Johnson has a habit of kicking the ball away, not just innocuously a few feet either, but smashing it. Got booked for that in a recent game. As you say, he did it at least twice when already on a yellow yesterday. He needs to drop that from his game.

Yep agreed. I think this is the kind of thing Akinds must have been looking for.

Yep, his weight is on his left foot to dive right. John Akinde at this point would be sliding it to the keepers left...

It's low and into the corner, waist height is indeed bad. See Johnson's penalty that was retaken a few weeks ago penalty on how it's done.

Still we are through, no harm done...

Not going to be able to watch if we get one on Sunday

Does this come with subtitles?

Does this come with subtitles?

"You told the fans to turn up today and..." (several times) was about as much as I could make out.

 

[nlondonimp]

I would trust johnson to smash a pen into the unstoppable zone, low into the bottom left. He’s done it 4 times in a row.

His penalties have all been excellent.
