Whitey Grandad

An embarrassing disgrace.

What total f***ing colossal waste of my time. We knew we were beaten as soon as we saw the line ups. Nothing to cheer about, no passion, no desire. Greatest Cup competition in the world? Do me a favour. Of the starting eleven today only one started against Leicester and only one against Liverpool. Like a bunch of strangers who had turned up for an audition. Apart from Long I wouldn't sign up any of them. McQueen and Stephens maybe. This match was thrown and there should be a stewards' enquiry, maybe a bloody great fine. I cannot believe that the club got anything out of this game. What was the ***** point. And to think that I could have stayed at home and finished installing our new dishwasher. Much more rewarding.

The text is ambiguous. 'Would be several months' is a future tense and does not differentiate between 'could be arriving at St. Mary's' and 'before joining the Russian club'. Nice try Fry

Yes, that worked for us too for the JPT. The only snag I had was trying to get a railcard ticket by using my bus pass. Soon sorted

Does not compute, Captain. 'Loan for the rest of the season' and 'several months' are much the same.

But there would be a hell of a lot of tax to pay. Unless your wife is resident in Monaco or somewhere and she owns all the shares.

I can't imagine that there will be any name on the ticket. All that usually happens is that a concession ticket flags up a different light at the turnstile. If they're manually inspected that might be a different matter but even then I can't see that the ticket will show the type of concession.

Me too. I suppose it depends on what it says on the ticket. Some 'concession' tickets merely have a tear-off strip removed.

It's not as easy as you think to take large sums of money out of a company.

......... they'd sponsor Liverpool.

Would it matter what type of concession do we think? e.g. a ticket bought on an over-65 season ticket being used by a 14-year old.

Or wheels? (duck and run for cover)

I think it all depends on how seriously they take it. The same goes for us. Games usually go to the team that wants it the most.

Wembley caters well for disabilities. Might be worth him finding out if he really wants to go. Failing that you would probably end up with a concession ticket.

That would be illegal.

Plastics.

Sometimes these items are separated for VAT purposes.

Sometimes the club can pay for extra medals. I don't know how it works. Lawrie Mac always used to express his disappointment that the managers didn't get a medal.

We've been on the other end on enough occasions. I was at Roker Park for the evening game when we beat them 1-0 and they later got relegated. When we scored we all went mental but I was not too far from the Sunderland fans who were looking at us in a strange way, not hostile at all more curiosly jealous I suppose. I must admit too feeling a bit guilty.

Thanks for the effort but only the last link works for me

It's a cruel irony that in order to be able to afford a new stadium the FA had to sell a lot of seats for corporate membership so althogh e have a new stadium we are arguably worse off in terms of seats for real supporters. At least at this final we have more tickets than when we get to the FA Cup final later on

Wonderful moment and I would add Dellhurst Park to those. You have to live through all the years of turgid dreariness to really appreciate occasions such as last night. Something the camp-following glory hunters of clubs like Manchester United will never understand.

I wouldn't say it was clear but Long leaned into it a bit. A penalty would have been very harsh and there were other instances where we had better claims, the shirt tug on Yoshida for a start. It's pretty feeble and undignified of Klopp to bleat about it, his side had 180 minutes to score a goal and he has to result in clutching at straws. Can't score a goal through good play or skill so let's resort to trying to kick the ball at someone's arms. Pathetic. A shout for Martin Atkinson though, didn't succumb to the 'Anfield pressure'.

OK, thanks.
