Toon support

A question for those at the match yesterday. You were served up a poor performance, so poor that Robson felt he had to apologise to you!

Did the team come over and applaud the fans? Did the team get overwhelming support despite the performance.

What I'm trying to say is that if almost any other team had played with so little fire in their belly and pride in their shirt they would have been roundly booed at full time if not half-time. I appreciate that it is against many people's natures to criticise the players when at a match but do you think the players take it for granted?

Mutterings from supporters before Xmas seemed to rally the team and they produced performances against Leeds and Manure.

Terrific support for 94 minutes.... and yes they were applauded off at the end. I think we should have booed them off at the end. I didn't but I wish I had now.

The support was half hearted, sporadic and almost desperate at times....they got a load of boo's at half time and full time where I was sat....they deserved more!

useless shower of shit....

From the next seat to Gav .. seemed like a lot of p1ssed people making most of the noise ( nae change there ) but a lot of silence . The thing the game lacked as a supporter was humour , it seems the humour of the whole thing has been lost on everyone .. nae laughing , just bliddy miserable long faces . I sit at home for that . They deserved no better either ..... Ohhhh Shola Am-e-obi , knees bent arms out , does fu(kin nowt .. he puts his left leg in , his left left leg out , gets the ball then does fu(kin nowt , do the Am-e-obi and you turn around , then fall on the ground .. ohhhhhh Shola Am-e- obi ...........

Didn't hear the half time boos but I was probably on my bladder emptying mission.

Funny song in the pub about the mackems to the tune of the adams family.....can't remember much of it though :))

Second verse was something like...

They all live in Sea...ham, Their houses are mus...eums, and nee one wants to see them.... the mackem family....

It is a new song isn't it? or have I just not heard it before....

It's a very old song Gav. Started life when Jimmy Adamson was their manager, and he had an Adamson fam-i-lee.

With retrospect there was a very dodgy line which had "Mel Holden is a spastic, the goals are made of plastic" in it.

I recall singing it gleefully at Roker in 1977, another one of those seasons where Sunderland were on the downward side of a yo-yo. Us coming back fro 2 down meant they went down. Wonderful goals from Tommy Craig and fuckinell

"Rowell's Cousin It Elliott's a Tit The fans are soft as Sh*t Adamson's fam-i-ly

The nets are all elastic The posts are made of plastic Mel Holden is a spastic Adamson's fam-i-ly

The ground is a museum 'Cos no-one goes to see 'em They really are a scream Adamson's family"

A bit unPC but a winner nevertheless.

Speaking of the mackems, I can't help cringing when I think Monkey Heed paid half what we paid for Bassedas and ended up with self- confessed Mag Don Hutch. Could we have used his aggression yesterday? I think so.

Dirty Don? Me mate went to school with him: says "c&*t then, c&*t now"

Besides, what sort of Mag wants to play for Jockland and the chimps?

At least he gets his f''king foot in when it matters.

One thing I think we are lacking is attitude and arrogance. People are simply not bothered by the prospect of playing us despite the bollocks they come out with before a match.
