A far more appropriate gif, Wykiki ....

Actually good point, you're follically challenged these days.

They look remarkably like my reading glasses Whereas that looks remarkably like our resident xG statto, Gemmill. Keep on boring with that mundane shite, why don't you, ubergeek

I've heard suggestion that it could be a done deal. Nothing to prove it, but one bloke I know who was there reckoned they were definitely pushing this as the direction in which they were going. I fucking hope not!

Didn't they say something about 3 approaches - refine, revive or re-invent. Assume this is "refine" which they need to avoid like the plague. All that does is create an alternative take on the current crest that no-one will want. If its going to be different; it needs to be ... different.

Fucking hell! https://x.com/ncsl1892/status/1922749824316616735?s=46&t=z2j8swpKHKggwsIUQJsACw

they’ve had enough of them 🤣

NSFW?

Not sure if this has been picked up already but… they’re having our sloppy seconds

On a serious note, let’s hope the lad recovers well. Very reminiscent of Given’s injury v West Ham all those years ago.

Glad you’ve conceded

Well now you’re talking about percentage of risk. That’s distinctly different to my point being invalid. Look we disagree on it, and unlikely to get to a mutual agreement. It’s not an exact science and can be looked at from different points of view.

Part of me hopes they do spawn it … and have 38 games of utter pain next year.

Disagree that it invalidates the point.

Play to the whistle.

And your logic only holds because it’s not involving a Newcastle player. if that was Isak in hospital now there’s no way all of you would have the attitude “tough shit, it’s one of them things”

I’d rather have 100 PL goals chalked off than see one Newcastle player hospitalised because of the linesman going too late with his flag.

In any of you watched that game, you’ll know the offside was blindingly obvious. That’s the point I’m making. When it’s too close to call, let the phase play out. But everyone in the stadium knew it was offside. The commentators even said “the flag will go up here”. Stupid rule. As Alex says there’s no perfect solution and they really need to see what can be achieved with AI / semiautomation.

I’ve no issue with the lino, it’s the ruling. It’s fucking stupid.

Yeah I don’t blame the lino, she was simple applying the rules. Fucking stupid rule though. Don’t see hrs benefit aside from winding people up.

Given the season they’ve had it’ll be a travesty if Sheff Utd don’t make it. Reminds me of the only season when we did take part in the playoffs though, be just like Sunderland to spawn it into the top league.

As I said in the other thread, they need to bin off this stupid version of the offside rule. It was so clearly offside yet they let the phase of play continue. It was only a matter of time before someone got seriously hurt in this phase of play, and so easily avoidable.

Taiwo Awoniyi had been placed in an induced coma following his collision with the post on Sunday. They need to bin off this stupid offside rule where they don’t flag immediately. It was only a matter of time before a serious injury was sustained in this period of play. It was so easily avoidable. Get well soon, fella.
