Interesting appointment of this happens. There is also the ‘ Kinahan Cartel’ connection. Gerrards daughter is in a long term relationship with Lee Byrne, the son of Liam Byrne one of Daniel Kinahans senior gang members. Liam Byrne is currently in prison but will be out in a couple of years...

Not sure what you mean here? I said 'Many smokers are the most selfish and disrespectful people in society' Not ALL of them clearly, but a sizeable number from my own observations walking through the town centres. I have friends who smoke who condemn this behaviour like myself. It is one way...

I find many smokers to be the most selfish and disrespectful people in society. As long as they get their fix f…k the rest of us. They blatantly discard their fags wherever they want. Don’t think about the poor street cleaner who has to pick up after them. Or the child who will pick one up on...

Deffo. The worst case scenario has happened. Newcastle won the cup and Blunderland get promoted. The perfect storm. Absolutely gutted. We limped our way through the season, in many games showing no fight and they win today being about 12 points behind the Blades in the table. Sickener. They...

Thanks. UTB.

Yeah you’re probably right there. We just throw massive amounts of money to buy new players. It gives the impression that they are quality signings. Other sides have the ability, knack, or astute brains to get players at less than half the price who make a real difference. Once our signings take...

Thanks Scubahood.

No matter how Carrick tries to spin it - ‘The players gave their all ‘ The players are devastated’ ‘ ‘We tried as hard as we could’ ad nauseum, The last few weeks have been like watching a wounded animal limping towards its inevitable death. Spare me the mollifying words. They won’t wash...

Very loud boos in the north stand. Louder than the cheers at one point. Can you blame those who boo? I won’t criticise them. The fans pay a lot of money to watch their team. The boos I think are more aimed at MC for the stubborn, one dimensional tactics. Late substitutions in every game...

Steve Gibsons office tomorrow morning. Knock knock. Who’s there’s? Michael. Michael who? If only. The End.

Loved growing up listening to Blondie and had a photo of Debbi Harry on my bedroom wall. Halcyon days. Clem up there with the greatest, Cozy Powell in my opinion. Incredible drummer. RIP.

In many ways that game was the ‘Perfect Storm’ when it came to football rivalry spilling over. The coming together of two notorious firms. Fans armed but also carrying so much hatred from the play off game at Chelsea. Both sets of fans drunk, buying more and more glass bottles of lager freely...

It would be the worst case scenario for the police and fans. There will be trouble, no doubt about that, but I don’t think it will be on the scale of the ZDS final against Chelsea. Football hooliganism was still a real concern in 1990. Chelsea’s Headhunters and Boros Frontline were two of...

So the Barcodes have won the cup. Has anybody considered the real possibility of Sunderland being promoted via the play offs this season? The optics of this would be horrendous for us Boro fans. It really doesn’t bear thinking about. I wish I hadn’t now. Nurse pass me the sick bowl please?

Good retort!
