Canny tactical move from Jol, dropping Dejagah for Duff. Like it. Duff is much better at home and gives us the freedom we need, whilst Dejagah gives us the pace and directness we need away from home.
Like seeing Karagounis too, no one else really.
Am starting to feel very sorry for Petric however. Still, he hasn't overly impressed me so far from what I've seen.

They're different players, Duff has been excellent this season.
Dejagah is good, I love him, but Duff has no right to lose his position: he's done nothing wrong.
Hello everyone! Hope everyone is healthy. I see Duff is back, PlusBerba- Ruiz up front. No chances taken there by Jol. Is Kara starting really
COYW - let's make this a comfortable win

really? not been all that in his last few games if you ask me. yes he can defend but did very little going forward. started the season off with a bang but has settled down alot now.
Wynalda, still proving he doesnt know much. Apparently MAF still owns Harrods...
Teams are out. Little worried about Karagounis. Hope he does well!

Can Ruiz EVER stay on his feet???
Ka a is injured
The Greek is turd
Karagounis seems to be better in the open field with his ball skills/decision making ability. Not so much 1 v. 1.
Rodders is on. We play like we are 2-0 up.
I dont believe it. Red for BH
save the draw then.
Absolutely furious with Brede, after adebuymore yesterday as well. 3 games out? He may well have have ruined this good start to this season.
Down to 10 and we'll have two subs used before half time.. Not promising!
THAT RED IS TOTAL F-ING bullpoo !!!!!!!!!
Never a red card
We are now screwed.
Oh well. Silly game this isn't it?
fp.gif fp.gif fp.gif
You have got to be kidding me...the referee is 100% wrong with that decision - so there go our three points mother you know what -
I can't believe this utter garbage bull crap!!!
Surely his other foot has come through after?
And why's Rose not off for that then?
Astonishingly poor refereeing. Hangeland's challenge was not even a booking. Like Rose's. Not dangerous, foot was not high, was in control. Rose's was the exact same challenge from behind. Ruined the game.
Sanderos on for Kara.
Well Senderos finally getting his run out.
Gotta feel for the Greek. Time for me Swiss to show what he can do
Feel bad for Karagounis. Bad luck mate.
senderos's distribution will be useful if we're gunna have to play on the counter. ow
You know how Senderos likes to come forward--wonder if he can control himself.
Brede kept his legs together. The reff is a joke
You'd think Sunderland were the home team. We're getting nothing.
pathetic referee

A test of our defensive skills now. Shocking.
I like how this game is slightly more even now we are down to 10. I still think we can win this but not as convincing. More likely 1 goal only

The ref. What an unbelievable w@nker.
That is all for now.
Bringing Rodellega on instead of Dejagah was a terrible decision. I don't think I've seen a player with worse movement off the ball. He's no use to anyone.

So Larsson can elbow Duff in the face and not get even booked.
Appantly the threat of a broken leg is worse then the threat of a broken cheekbone

Reff ruined the game. This was never a red. He kept his legs together and tried to protect Catermolle!! The reff is 080.gif
Such a terrible call. Hopefully we can still snag a point if not all 3.
Shocking referee performance so far. 4 man panel on tv in America all of the same opinion. It was very enjoyable performance by Fulham until then. I think they can still win it but will need a slice of luck (or another ref decision to make it 10v10).
I never like this ref, even when I have no interest in either team. :014:
Hangers should get off on appeal.
Their Rose has made 3 shocking tackles & not even a warning.
The ref.... How can you give a red for that.
Otherwise Jol needs to tell the lads to put the ball down. Get possession. Make them run. Do not rush. There's still a chance

Agree. With a pass that was shockingly short to Brede who was the last line of defence, what else could Brede do but overstretch the tackle. Even then he turned his studs away as he reached the opponent
Why does it always seem to be us who get these decisions? Or are we all completely paranoid?
Lee Probert - is our waste of skin ref.
Look it up - he is an absolute disaster as a ref - utter drama queen and it seems he wants to be the story and not the players.

He must have it in for us since Sidders chopped him down against Wigan.
Oh, and Ruiz had some nice touches, but not focused, lost the ball cheaply a few times. Not the performance from Arsenal so far. Berba could have done better with those half chances. I think everyone got a bit unsettled
So Breda will miss Stoke, Chelsea and Newcastle, and Senderos gets his chance
Isn't that is what alot of people wanted ??

We are not paranoid when the evidence is right before us!!!
The game has changed so much in this modern era. Tackles that win the ball are now dangerous and an instant red. Can you imagine what the older players make of all this. Still up to Jol to sort this out. Rodders can use his speed up the middle but out on the wing he is useless. Still we will take a draw and hope of some magic from Berbatov.

agree with this, still think we can nick a goal or two
I've seen worse tackles get yellow, and better ones get red. It happens.
On a side note, is Berbatov wearing the captains armband now? Thought I glimpsed it at kickoff, haven't seen a closeup of him or Hughes since to verify.
No No No
Lady luck got laid in the north-east this weekend then. ffs.
Senderos is a liability
It's been coming. Too many men forward, too exposed at the back.
one of those days I'm afraid. :dft004:
love sake.. I REALLY needed a pick-me-up this weekend.
Safetypinland scored :doh:
Duff has had an awful game
I have to say Jol has decided to have a go and we were caught out but you have to admire the way we haven't shut shop. We will lose it but when the ref misses a the push on Rodders we have to admire the way Fulham are having a go.
What a loving joke
well done Sidders got the little s%it !!!
This ref has completely lost the plot now. He is clearly going to give nothing to Fulham. Duff was not the offender on that last foul, then Sidwell gets annoyed and gets a yellow.
What the hell was Senderos doing?
exactly the same as aLiverpool game a seaso or two back ....we hit the bar, and ballwatch until we concede 30 seconds later
Dejagah for Duff. Rose looks fairly circumspect defensively. I can definitely feel a goal coming.

He's so aware that two wrongs don't make a right that he's going way too far the other way so he's not seen to be making up for it.
One of those days, it was always going to be.
Hopefully just a cramp for Ruiz.
Hangeland lost for three games, Ruiz hamstring - could be out indefinitely, kaca out as well. Head in hands. My optimism for the season is shot.
Ruiz now injured. ? hamstring
Who is this absolute arse that is co-commentating on Sky?
And now out of subs.
Ruiz out injured too. Bad day getting worse.
Senderos looks well of the pace. To be fair to him he's not played for a long time.
Senderos is crap
Petric!!!
get iiiiiin!!!!
yes yes yes, get in!!!!!
Yes

YEEEEEEEES
Our team just oozes character, experience and belief.
Jesus now Petric is injured.
We're down to nine as Petric is injured.
Fantastic goal but Senderos???? he is causing all sorts of problems. Oh well, first game in a long time. Let's hope.
Petric injured too? Ef me.
Just not our day!!!!!!
uh yeah, a corner.

Not watching anymore of this..
Argh what a hit.
That's that then. Well done Probert, you got your team back in it.
What a hit. That seals it I think. Nothing Mark could do.
As soon as we got the corner, I said OH NOOOOOO, caught on the break again.
That´s it folks.
I'm done for today, it's not our lucky day
love it
What the actual love? Sunderland scores three against Fulham.
We have to just move on. We've got the moral victory today. Really pleasing performance all things considered. Great team spirit, excellent movement and technical ability. Just very very unlucky today.
If the FA have any moral character they'll rescind the red. So that's three games missing then.
our defense is totally nasty on aerial balls, what a shame
Have to say, even thought today is pretty much well & truly over, its sort of nice to see us have a go with the 10 men. Another day, with a bit of luck and it would've been different ..

Now I remember this pussy. He was rolling around on the ground like he was shot. He is an incompetent piece of dog shite. I am so angry that they allow these boobs to referee matches and they are utterly incompetent. Like I said he is a drama queen and a pussy...he is why we will get nothing out of this match. The red had better be appealed and lifted. I want to hit someone in the face I am so mad...........................
Whole team running their socks off. Just one of those days I'm afraid. Shame it happens at home against such a dull side.
My god what a horrible afternoon. If we would have lost to a better team fine! But a team with thugs like Cattermole in it getting protection from the ref for 90 minutes is truly hard to beat :(
-"Oh when the Whites!"
Frustrating.
I've had enough of Senderos.. I'd much prefer Burn or Grimmer given a chance, he is soo useless!
Definitely deserve a point. The better side overall.
Sidwell hasn't had an easy job as he has basically been playing midfield on his own, but he's really not good enough.

I'm sorry, I am getting annoyed...
Even with 9 men & an injured Petric we are still the better side.
How rubbish are Sunderland. They are playing against 10 men and 1 recognised midfielder for an hour and are by far 2nd best throughout. If we had of put our chances away it would have been comfortable. We can hold our heads high in that one.

Really proud of the boys today. We deserved much more. Better team overall. If there's a concern it's the finishing wasn't very clinical. Senderos made an error but I think you can excuse it given his lack of playing time.
No poor performances today. Probably Berbatov's best performance. Petric looked very dangerous.
Tough day at the office, but we gave everything. The worry is that again Senderos and Sidwell proved that they are just not good enough.

+1. Let's see how O'Neill spins it.
Fulham absolutely dominated Sunderland. I'd be pretty embarrassed by the performance as a Sunderland fan, but they got the 3 points.
More performances like that will result in wins, simple as.
Although the biggest concern is the players missing now. Hangeland for 3 games, Ruiz and Kaca for who knows how long. Again, just as Ruiz was starting to look dangerous regularly he gets injured. Real shame.

We should definitely appeal. If that was a red so was Rose's challenge.
It is, (and always has been since I was first taken to games in the '50's) the first duty of you as a supporter of this great club to endure the frustration of matches like that.
It may be paranoid to suggest that they seem to come along more often for clubs like ours, but rest assured the club chose you as a supporter to rise above the exasperation, and be stronger to celebrate the good times.
I'm glad Jol went for it when we went down to 10 men. We were still the better side, and had enough chances to take something from the game. I think people are being very harsh on Rodellaga. I thought he did well when he came on.
Sunderland are an exceptionally dirty side, the new Stoke. We got very unlucky with injuries. I don't think Duff had a good game, but did set up the goal.
We've got some tough games coming up, so the potential loss of Hangeland, Ruiz and Kaca is going to be tough.
Referee was a disgrace
Cant blame the lads for todays result, we got done in by the ref *coughs "w@nk@* and deserved to get something out the game even with a man down and at some points 2 men down.
Sunderland are a joke...and i still cant be a fan of sidwell but ive had enough of complaining, and nice to see petric come on and play well. Senderos was awful needs games, but a liability and hopefully hanga's red gets rescinded on appeal.

They will not be ashamed .....they are used to thugs and ugly barstools
Not concerned about today which was just bad luck with injury and the sending off. But am concerned about the problems with the injured players which with a small squad is always going to be a problem. But today was pleased how we kept having a go at them.
Poor luck and some poor judgement but far from upset with the performance of our players.
20 shots to 11, conceded one goal with 11 men on the pitch and two on the counter one of which was a worldie. I'm angry yes but not worried by the game bar the injuries we picked up (didn't look too serious?) and Brede's suspension.
Cattermole says they deserved the win. utter rubbish.
The only thing that worries me is that we have some tough games coming up and the table below us is very tight. A couple losses and we could plummet down the league, which could dent everyone's confidence.
We're playing well but we've only won one game in 7 (I think)

If that performance gives them confidence they have no chance.
lets hope kaka and ruiz are ok. No chance of the red card being reversed I'm afraid.
The more I see the Brede incident the more I see it as a fair challenge for a 50/50 ball. His feet were on the ground when he made contact with the ball. As John Collins said , in his day it would have been regarded as a good tackle.
great effort. Got seriously done by appalling referee. A bit concerned about some negative comments re: Sidwell. he gave his all today. he was definitley worth his place and covered a lot of ground. OK, he has a few bad touches but so do many others.
We have a great home record and go and lose to one of the worst teams in the division.....that sucks. That's football I suppose.
At 11v11, the real contest, they were a disgrace to football. Undeserved victory is a bit harsh, but at least we gave them a good run for their money. We should've nicked it though, we had too many men forward and they were decent on the counters. Fletcher killed us. The rest was very average.
Petric and Sidwell should've scored.
god Stoke next week, hope we don't pick up more injuries from their dirty play
we could have won this game even with 9 men. we missed too many chances. the problem of berba playing in the midfield, in Ruiz's spot, is that we are missing his finishing. Neither Petric nor Rodallega are clinical finishers nor Sidwell either and that cost us today.
Does anyone have a link to Jol post match interview?

It is, (and always has been since I was first taken to games in the '50's) the first duty of you as a supporter of this great club to endure the frustration of matches like that.
It may be paranoid to suggest that they seem to come along more often for clubs like ours, but rest assured the club chose you as a supporter to rise above the exasperation, and be stronger to celebrate the good times.
Oh Ron - plus one, plus one
Every single game brings the familiar dread- no, too strong a word, maybe nervousness. This is ingrained after 50 years of watching the fates gang up on us so, so often.
Horrible feeling regarding this game which proved depressingly correct.
A little run of draws and a game we are expected to win.
It's the same with almost but not quite transfer arrangements- we are frustrated at losing a player of Dembele's quality but I felt the same when Mullary went to Spurs.
I just dribble at thought of a Midfield that might of been this season.
Ah well.... Reach for the cloak of dissappointment .... Again!
Totally agree Fernhurst.

I've had enough of Senderos.. I'd much prefer Burn or Grimmer given a chance, he is soo useless!
Give him a break, he's been out for a long time.
No break for Senderos. He is a liability. Ship him out along with Sidwell

Senderos is a class act and is mistakingly viewed as being a liability. Yes he has a couple of dodgy moments but his distribution is twice as good as Hughes, he's got speed, heading ability and can obviously tackle. I'd personally prefer him starting.

Way too many touches on that one Sidwell.
+1. One touch then finish it in the bottom corner. He's got no confidence in front of goal. I'd like to see a goalscoring midfielder brought in the window, along with a centre back. Top 6 is definitely within our reach.
Top 6???? Really
