Tony Gillan Sunderland Echo (5 Viewers)

[no_loyalty]

Sunderland Echo journalist Tony Gillan even having a go at us, some strong comments.

Forget Coventry freak show – if Sunderland don’t go up it won’t be down to that game

"We knew that the little club would be more enthused than normal by their trip to the big club. This happens regularly."

 

[hill83]

"mediocre-at-best opposition"

 

[SKYBLUES90]

Step up Andy Turner.

Headline - Sunderland is a fucking shit hole, full of bitter deluded wankers’

 

[hill83]

"an insipid visiting club who, let’s be honest, don’t arouse much interest in their own city, never mind anyone else’s (in fact they may soon be cancelled due to lack of interest)."

"We knew that the little club would be more enthused than normal by their trip to the big club. This happens regularly."

Micky Flanagan appears from nowhere in that one!

 

[Nick]

There is no other conclusion other than Tony Gillan shags dogs. Pass it on.

 

[hill83]

Micky Flanagan appears from nowhere in that one!

He wasn't even going out either.

If you ever want to turn someone against Brexit tell them it’s very popular in Sunderland.

I think most average minded Sunderland supporters will be embarrassed at such amateur, childish reporting. Pathetic and factually wrong on all accounts.

I’d imagine the main man on that rag will be calling him in to ask him to stop making up rubbish as the guys embarrassing not only himself but the football club. We’re are the 9th biggest city in the country and could be said the second biggest club in this league. Get a grip man and face reality!

Did laugh at how stupid the guys made himself.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

:finger: What a knob head.

It's comforting to know that Coventry City live rent free in the heads of everyone in Sunderland.

Jimmy sent you down.
We know how to win at Wembley.
5-4 to the mighty Sky Blues

PUSB

 

[HerneBayGaz]

'Sour and grapes' spring to mind when I read that drivel.
Can someone remind that deluded tw@t how many points little ole Coventry took of mighty Sunderland this season!!

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Think the hate for Sunderland goes up every week, deluded thick twats

 

[covboy1987]

Sunderland over the years have had numerous issues which in fact a documentary was made - some of this guy's comments about of fans and team are completely out of order, particularly Sunderland they play in the shadow of a BIG club namely Newcastle -
Both clubs are trying to form a closer relationship after what has gone on with the jimmy hill comments of old and the issues Saturday and this idiot just tries to stir things up again - Stuart Donaldson the Sunderland chairman was apparently distressed on Saturday - how about he gets on the phone to this idiot and bans him from the stadium

Drop them a line and complain. Wonder how long it would take for them to get pissed off at a stack load of calls/emails lol

 

[Paul Anthony]

Wow, talk about a sore loser!

Basic fact is, high and mighty "big club" Sunderland haven't managed to beat little, insignificant Coventry City this season, and could have, in fact, should have, lost both games.

Maybe football journalism isn't for this guy.

 

[Evo1883]

This little club has had more seasons in the top flight over the last 50 years than you

Has also won a major trophy more recently than you too

Cheers for the 4 points this season

 

[Nick]

 

[ajsccfc]

Please don't complain, don't do anything. Let him sit at his desk seething that his team lost a game of football to a team he definitely doesn't give a shit about, in fact he's actually laughing and not bothered

 

[ccfcricoh]

Does this season now become a success if Sunderland miss out on promotion, meaning that us beating them screwed them over (again!)?

 

[KeresleyArmpit]

Love it, just shows how deep we've cut them :emoji_kissing_heart:

 

[Evo1883]

Little old Coventry , put 5 goals past you

Put 5 goals past you , put 5 goals past youuuuu

Little old Coventry put 5 goals past you

 

[Ashdown]

They just won't let go will they. It's a shame, numbers wise they are great supporters but they really seem to have a chip on their shoulder.

Do no such thing!
It's embarrassing for them and we should laugh it off. Their press are bad losers just like their fans.
Imagine if he ever goes for a job at a national newspaper or broadcaster, that could come back to haunt him.

 

[Evo1883]

Must really cut deep that a homeless little club like us can rock up to the stadium de camp nou and outsing and outplay them .

I mean let’s face it when we were playing Man Utd Arsenal Liverpool etc back in the top flight I was always dreaming of going to roker park and then the stadium el bernabau .

 

[ajsccfc]

It should be noted that he's not a considered and objective writer suddenly sent mad by Coventry City, being controversial in exchange for money is his schtick.



What WILL he say next? Stand back

 

[covcity4life]

ok made my mind up. dont car eif it makes life hard for us next year i want sunderland to miss out on promotion

 

[lifeskyblue]

One of the funniest pieces of sports ‘journalism’ I have read. I even think Trump may have a point re fake news or ‘Mackem News’ as it must now be called. I bet your average Sunderland fan is cringing (not all are as deluded as this guy) as they read that and Newcastle fans laughing their socks off.

This is exactly the point. Imagine that Sunderland had scored the 9th goal of the game to win it. There would have been a bit of crowing about JH from their knuckledraggers, then everybody would have moved on. After all, it was a third division game.

Instead, we have seen Sunderland for what they are - a team and fans who are full of resentment at their lot. Much of that is they seem to feel entitled to be playing at the top level but are overshadowed by a local rival. This delusion of how huge their club is can also be seen in the vicinity of Villa Park.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

After reading the comments from the Sunderland Echo I wondered if the mackems were still obsessing over CCFC on their own forum - to which they are.

I'm sure they will be talking about the day Coventry beat them at the Stadium of Shite for a long time to come :happy:

 

[matesx]

Embarrassing.

Playing to the crowd.

100% this. Their crowds of course are great but in terms of post war success it's no different to us!

They haven't won a trophy since 1973. Even a small club like us won one 15 years more recently!

 

[Grendel]

He’s clearly some kind of shock jock and has aspirations to be a very poor mans Adrian Durham

Wow what ambition

 

[joemercersaces]

All this sour grapes just makes me think how fantastic it was that we went up there and beat them, backed by nearly 3000 raucous supporters. I really expected us to lose and then to have to listen to them gloating. They really aren’t good losers are they. Bunch of arrogant tossers.
