Re: MK Don's Highlights

I was sitting in the stand behind the goal and it was eminently saveable even accounting for his poor positioning off his line with them in possession edge of box. The "Closer Look" video gives a better view than the highlights of how saveable it was. As I say I was in direct line with th...

Re: MK Don's Highlights

In was sitting in the main stand in direct line of view of the shot which was in the top corner and Hemmings had absolutely no chance. Anyone blaming Hemmings for that is biasing their thoughts based upon previous impressions.

Re: Club encourages fans to use a VPN

Things could be worse

At the weekend Sunderland West End were 5-2 up in the 92nd minute and coasting against Yarm & Eaglescliff in Northern League Division 2. They then managed to concede 4 goals in 5 minutes and lost 6-5.

Re: Where were the other Directors on Saturday?

Lost interest, understandably. It’s fun when things are going well but not quite so much when they’re not. Nigel is one of us. He’s a genuine fan, knows no different, and has no choice but to support the club. The other owners/investors don’t have that. However much excitement they demonstrate init...

The EFL in their wisdom have signed a 5 year deal with SKY. I have no doubt some supporters are now viewing on SKY and will not return. Others will be lost as is being discussed due to the demise of the traditional Saturday 15:00 kick offs. What happens to the increased TV monies. All clubs just spe...
