What is going on at Sunderland?
Sacked Mowbray who did a fantastic job and appointed Beale. I'm surprised how despised he is given his work at QPR decent, his loyalty not so much. Fans weren't happy with this appointment and seems the board have reacted by sacking him.

Talking about sacking managers...I was taken out for lunch to a pub at a lane ends near Belper. There was a bald headed man at the next table and I thought I knew him. It was only when I was safely out of the pub that my son told me it was MM.

Surprised he shows his face in public.

Has he signed yet?

Sounds like Padel time!

Anyone listening to RD this evening? Caller suggesting Sibley should be playing as a No.10. Christ one goal and people want him to return in that position!

He's done well as a LWB and shown his most consistent performances.

Hahaha ....same caller informed of signing and is lukewarm. Show some excitement.

I'm happy. His record at Stoke isn't great but clearly he's not a ' do it on a cold wet Tuesday night in Stoke' type of player. He's been played in midfield which has reduced his impact.

Gayle, Adams and CBT could very well help drag this team across the finish line in the top 2. Just need 2 out the 3 to get match fit.

That’s ‘Gail’

Apparently he had a surreal run of goals disallowed for offside at the start of his time at Stoke otherwise his stats would be much better …

To be honest the timing of this signing is quite fortunate what with Collins being out now an all …

Sounds like Jozwiak, but without putting the ball in the net.

Not sure how we fit him in currently though 🤔

450 comments..... tonight? I think so.

As a back up of:

CBT...................Barks

Gayle

Leaves me feeling optimistic that we have pace on the channels and enough attacking threat as our back up team.

As mentioned, Gayle is not a Collins type of player but to look at you can tell he's a strong lad. I think he'll do reasonably well in this side and 10+ goals will be a success for me.

Question how pacey he'll be at 34 at this level given his injuries but if his positioning and anticipation skills are strong he'll do just fine as a free agent.

He's had a few opportunities in an advanced role and has very rarely remained the whole game. I'd be interested to know how many 90 min matches he's completed in the last 1.5 seasons?

The other call was as an impact sub. If he can be our Olē Gunnar Soljskaer style option I'm all for that.

Or the Jamaican David Fairclough

The hardest part of the game is putting the ball in the net, and most of it is about getting yourself into the right place. Lineker scored most of his goals from about an inch out but it wasn't a fluke. Reg may have lost some pace but I doubt he will have lost his striker's instinct. If we get the ball in the right areas he might just get a few crucial goals between now and May.

Pretty clear from recent performances that we need a midfield 3 consisting of Adams, Bird, Hourz/Smith/Tommo, so sub may be his best role for us this season.
Since leaving the club, Whittaker and JK have shown that you only really see the full potential of a player if he is persevered with in his best position.
I think another team may well find something similar with Sibs (and arguably Bird) next season.

Relatively strong u21 side (Ward, Fornah, Thompson etc) lost 1-3 home to Bburn

In terms of performances anyone stand out for Derby?


Republic of Ireland were linked with Chris Coleman for the managerial's role. Crikey they've really plummeted in terms of their reach. From the dizzy heights of Jack Charlton who was recruiting everyone to represent Ireland via an Irish aunt or cat to the crazy but equally impressive appointment of Trappatoni.

Now they can't even get perma tanned Coleman on board. Hope they can find the right rebuild project, always liked the Irish squads of the past and they had a strong never say die spirit in tournaments. Unless that was just the Guinness talking?

I've been informed that Bobby Maddley is referring our match on Saturday.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Madley

According to the info provided Bobby Maddley is an ex Barnsley Academy player. I've said there's no way , it's got to be a joke but apparently PGMOL/EFL have approved it.

Can anyone in here confirm if he is officiating the game or if this is just a bad joke?

yup... it's him

So he's the crazier of the 2 brothers who was removed from the Prem List & also sent CM9 off ?
VC will be absolutely delighted 😖

"Yes. Then quit in a scandal and went abroad. He was the ref who sent Chris Martin off at Burnley for a dive (clear penalty) and disallowed the goal…. In the season we was chasing promotion with burnley. Weeks before he was pictured at a burnley training session."

@Rapsta, thanks 👍🏾
I vaguely remember this. How the faq is someone so closely involved with one of the clubs in the past allowed to officiate this game
