[Hillsboro Blade]

McBurnie looks like he’s been shit on by a teradactyl.

 

[Sheffsteel]

We're just starting to lose our composure and do our normal trick of sitting back trying to hold on.

This is where Hecky earns his money....he needs to make the right substitution to shore things up.

 

[Blacksea]

The fucking about is well under way.

 

[MobileBlade]

The goalie who set up for the touch. Clear offside.

Also McBurnie lucky not to give away a penalty for deliberately handling the ball.

On that replay from back of goal I am not too sure

 

[Lawrence]

Last ditch defending,how’s this happening! Poor. Panic stations

 

[paidsy]

We're playing a dangerous game here. There's definitely another goal in this game yet.

 

[drblade]

Lets slow the midfield right down

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

And the midfield pace is back on....hold on everyone

 

[originaltrueblade]

Fuck me not Fleck

 

[JJBlade]

Glad they've brought some energy on for the last 15 minutes FFS

 

[paidsy]

Awful subs

 

[Dave9777]

Noooo send fleck back to the bench

 

[Headshrinker]

Not confident with Bogle for Baldock at this stage.

 

[Shakespeare blade]

Standard old and slow guard, bizarre subs but let’s see

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Fun to see how last 10 min + added time goes now with the subs Hecky as made.

 

[Espania blade]

The results are in, we need the win

 

[Badger Blade]

Would sooner have hooked Berge and kept Doyle on.

Hopefully I'm proven wrong but its looking like its time for the inevitable panic for the next 10 minutes and stumble over the line, assuming it gets that far.

 

[JJBlade]

They just cannot control a football and keep it, not even for two seconds

 

[Lawrence]

Look at Norwood, never attacks the ball! Just stands off never goes out towards the ball, Lazy!

 

[Richeee]

Hecky just cannot see it can he? A really good performance in danger of being thrown away by bringing on the old guard

 

[Sheffsteel]

Great 1st half from United...we were all over a poor Sunderland
Good 30 minutes in 2nd half...a more even match with us still looking threatening
Last 15 minutes of 2nd half we've reverted to type, gone back into our shell, generally parking the bus and struggling to string 3 passes to each other.
Got to say, like we've often proven this season, we are very good at parking the bus though, we've ended the match looking like Luton,
not pretty to watch but defensively solid. Overall we've deserved to win though.

 

[paidsy]

That amount of stoppage time should come with a fecking health warning

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Salty goodman tears

 

[coaxingstar71]

Goodman can get to fuck

 

[Headshrinker]

Is he daft? The difference is that defenders almost always gets the free kicks for the faintest of touches. Nothing new there and Sunderland has gotten their fair share of those soft ones earlier.

 

[boss hog]

Fuck off Goodman you absolute weapon.

 

[Blacksea]

Watch them break away from this

 

[baulko]

c'mon someone .. put me out of my misery. Tell me it's over.

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

Much improved performance but the officials have gifted us those three points tonight.

 

[Bobby b]

Tremendous
