Warts and all absolute car crash documentary. I spend a bit of time there, such a weird place (Newcastle similar) the ground casts a shadow over the city, as a football fan, I find Sunderland heartwarming and tragic at the same time. 😂 I can’t decide if I want them to win or it’s funnier when they lose. (not this season, before Coronavirus I was waiting on Sunderland winning league one for over £2000 and they had a sniff at end of February, love and hate the bastards in equal measure 😂 ) It's an absolute hovel Sunderland. It makes Methil look like Monte Carlo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were handing out the title, it’s surely the UK capital of daytime drinking. 😂 Not envious of much there, but the misplaced loyalty and sense of pride in their completely shit football team is endearing. Not a Liverpool or Man City top in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t have an umbrella, ella, ella, ay, ay... 😜 Ive only been to a JPT game so far, but thought the atmosphere at that was decent all things considered. Not a patch on Hartlepool though, went to a national league game there, was absolutely bouncing. Who knew they hated Darlington so much... 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fell down the stairs trying to carry up one of the boys bags. Saw him being sick in the back garden before 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lairdyfaeinverclyde Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Been watching the BBC on a Sat. afternoon showing highlights of old world cup matches. Strange to see pass backs to goalkeepers, 2 substitutes and no VAR. If VAR was about in those day's some games could/would of ended differently. Remember watching at the time the shocking assault from Harold Schumacher on the French boy, no booking/sending off? He should of been jailed for assault. How the game has changed.

It was a shame that though, he was incredible up until then, which is obviously the biggest match of them all but I seem to remember that German team being one of the worst in living memory. He got player of the tournament too, I'd guess this was maybe decided before the final itself. Reckon he was probably a big arrogant bugger but couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

Yeah I saw it a few weeks ago. Really interesting especially their trip to play Corinthians in Brazil. Well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it. I think that was part of a series of numerous films BT Sport have shown in the last 6-7 weeks featuring several sports. One of the other ones that stood out was Apartheid in South African sport.
