    [Football] Sunderland tinpottery

    To make the Newcastle fans feel properly at home, shouldn’t they also have crossed out the words ‘Champions’ and ‘Winners’ on those 2 pillars?

    It’s like our Europa League kit with pictures of Croydon across it instead

    [Albion] What’s the worst away day in the 92?

    Having never been to Rotherham I looked it up on TripAdvisor and it didn’t look as bad as you say, if the reviews can be believed? https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g190734-d4014409-Reviews-Rotherham_Minster_Church-Rotherham_South_Yorkshire_England.html

    [Albion] What’s the worst away day in the 92?

    I went in the Family Stand there once. When we scored and a few jumped up to celebrate, several hopped over the fence from the home end into the Family Stand looking to pile into anyone without a pie and a flat cap. It had the potential to be a bit tasty (not the pie!). Some brave souls...

    I liked the old wooden terraces at Layer Road!

    But apart from that, did you enjoy it? 😆

    [Albion] What’s the worst away day in the 92?

    The old Northampton ground when it was 3 sided and shared with the cricket ground. I saw us in the cup there a few years ago (1987). Haven’t been to Sixfields though.

    [Football] Birmingham Sack Rooney (02/01/2024)

    I actually went to the Birmingham v Stoke game. They were a bit unlucky at the start but once they went behind they were, as you say, abysmal. No confidence, no identity, no energy, nothing. The atmosphere was getting steadily more toxic throughout the game and plenty near me left once the...

    Edit - but SSN have ruled Cooper out, so who knows?

    Some already saying it’s a done deal and Cooper is at the ground today. I don’t have a lot to back that up, however, so please don’t invest your Christmas bonus on it just yet ….

    [Football] Birmingham Sack Rooney (02/01/2024)

    Agreed that this was a poor footballing decision made by the CEO, who is an employee of the club and not one of the owners as far as I know. The owners remain very popular, and it‘s a world away from the previous owners who were clueless on every front but saw the opportunity to asset strip and...

    I think that is a widely held view!

    [Football] Birmingham Sack Rooney (02/01/2024)

    Debatable that this was the biggest decision they had to make. An important decision no question, but off the field the stadium hasn’t had a kick of paint in anger for 25 years, two stands closed, the ground sold off to a third party by asset stripping owners and its status as a cultural asset...

    [Football] Birmingham Sack Rooney (02/01/2024)

    Cheap shot. I would say they appear to be very good owners with a long term plan for the club, the stadium, the finances etc which the club hasn’t had for a generation. But they made a poor decision in appointing Rooney.

    [Football] Birmingham Sack Rooney (02/01/2024)

    I think there is more than a bit of truth in that, Cook signed Rooney up to Nike as a teenager and they have been good mates ever since. It did smack of nepotism.

    [Football] Birmingham Sack Rooney (02/01/2024)

    The legend of Eustace has grown over the last few months. Many fans wanted himout anyway, there had been several winless runs and 4 poor away defeats on the trot, and his style of football was very basic. He then won 2 games in a row which put them 6th but that was only 3 points above something...

    It seems like a poisoned chalice but could equally be a great move for someone to succeed in, the new appointee will have a lot of goodwill from day 1 by simply not being Rooney

    The fans want either Steve Cooper or Tony Mowbray, I understand…..

    [Football] Birmingham Sack Rooney (02/01/2024)

    He didn’t win any of the winnable fixtures. Leeds away followed and the away support were calling for him to go throughout the game. Those who were giving him the benefit of the doubt finally lost patience. When you lose the backing of the away support, which was about 3,000 strong, it’s the...
