[Voice of Reason]

I was there :-) Was sitting in the East Stand Blue seats

Yeap we never saw the goals go in up the South Stand end

Sitting in the south upper asking daryll what was happening. He just shrugged

Yeah, I too have Chrome, and got the same message. Tried Safari, but nothing....

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Told you all it will be 0-0.

Tape mobile phones to their heads with the torch on.....where there's a will there's a way

 

[Southend Elvis]

And those light up trainers, job done

It will if the Sun comes out?

DAZN says there’s a check at 20:15. Can’t imagine much difference by then.

Dunno. Remember the Chelsea game as actually called off just prior to kick off according to the media & then the decision reversed. We were in the Spread & could barely see much past the gates to the car park.

To be fair I would think this looks pretty set.

 

[Jay_SUFC]

Sorry, this is my fault. It was clear until I signed up for DAZN!

 

[Jack_23]

Kev and co better be sorting signings out during this suspension…

Such a shame as I saw us beating the low block using a false 9 and going through the lines on transistion during the second phase when we were recycling the ball.

There was an evening game - a few years ago - away at Grimsby that was called off about 2 minutes before kick-off.

The fog just rolled in off the sea & voilà - game off. We (away fans) were incredulous & the groundsman let us onto the pitch to see how bad it was.

A long drive back home & yet another rubbish away day at Grimbsy to add to the list.

I am going to guess at around 1990. [shoulder shrug]

Check scheduled in 2015 apparently

 

[Tommy2holes]

was in east blacks for this and remember the weird moment they scored at south stand end and it took a couple of seconds for the Sunderland fans to cheer

Yep. That's my memory too

Jargon alert.

 

[Hooly]

Screen saying check@ 2015....
..is that a time or a year????

That's quite up to date for Lincolnshire. The bits I go to are about a century back in history still.

This is exactly my experience on my desk top computer and tablet, repeatedly got messages saying my browser needs updating. Queried this on their helpline and eventually they admitted that my browser did not need updating and they would investigate further but still not resolved after a month. I have since downloaded rhe app on my Tv and it works perfectly.

I was there with my dad (no longer with us). It was a strange but comical atmosphere.

The game is gone. Who remembers this from 1996?

I was in the South Bank. The Sunderland fans didn't know they had scored until the players returned to their half for the restart.

 

[crangoner]

15 minutes after the suspension. Just as bad.
