Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 It was shit tbf. Like watching non league. That said I am fairly pissed but pretty sure the above stands. No Rib Lees today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Of course it was shit. It's a friendly. They are 99.9 times out of 100 turboshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Cabaye's against actual non-league wasn't like watching non-league but today's game was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Rib Lees today. 3-2 sounds like a decent game to me but which aspects of our play were poor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12480 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Vitesse are probably about the best team we've played in friendlies so far tbh. A win is good, especially against a half decent side. As I've said after every pre season game (the 6-0 win and 2-2 draw included) it means absolutely fuck all. Good the lads scored a few again today and Gayle got one.

Howay 12480 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Most friendly games are man, don't bother bringing Cabayes up ffs (no idea why you keep bringing it up) it was against Conference side Darlington and we only won 2-0, we beat a side 6-0 this pre-season and you had fuck all to say about it.

Rayvin 4964 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Have to say I'm pretty excited about the season getting underway. Feels like we have a bit of momentum about us now. Gayle looks promising, he's managed a couple in pre-season now. Maybe a little shaky at the back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12480 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Oh also the pitch invasion of that Darlington friendly had absolutely fuck all to do with any sort of amazing performance, it was to do with Sammy Ameobi scoring and the chant "if Sammy scores we're on the pitch".

ewerk 26550 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 But it did allow the club to charge an extra £25 on any non ST holder going to an away game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but it was a cracking atmosphere from start to finish. Today was dead. If anyone who was there feels differently pipe up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27101 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The last friendly I remember going to was juventus in the 90s followed by Hartlepool away. There's a reason for that. Friendlies are shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34821 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Pre season matches are always like attending a funeral though. Even goals are cheered half heartedly because none of it means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9034 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 It was shit tbf. Like watching non league. That said I am fairly pissed but pretty sure the above stands. No Rib Lees today. It fundamentally wasn't like watching non-league. It was a pre-season game and there were some real flashes of quality. I did a full run down for a mate while on the train back down to London if you want a fuller picture. Atmosphere was poor, but given all 5 goals were scored in the Leazes, where there were about 100 lonely souls, I can kind of understand that. Loads of kids there which is good to see, guessing their tickets cheaper than the £15? Where were you sat CT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
