Sunderland V Stoke

[D.H.W]

Sunderland 2
Stoke City 0
Scorer: Jones (78)
Scorer: Healy (90)
   
Attendance: 38350   FT (16:58)

 

Strikers Kenwyne Jones and David Healy plunged 10-man Stoke City deeper into Barclays Premier League relegation trouble.

Trinidad and Tobago international Jones struck with a 77th-minute header and substitute Healy added a second in injury time.

Referee Rob Styles failed to spot substitute Danny Pugh handling Steed Malbranque's 39th-minute header on the line, denying the Black Cats a penalty and sparing the defender a seemingly inevitable sending-off.

But Ricky Sbragia's men, who were denied a derby victory at Newcastle last weekend by a controversial penalty decision, were not to be denied and, after Matthew Etherington had been sent off for kicking out at Danny Collins, they finally made the pressure tell.

The Potters left Wearside having failed to make the most of their let-off when substitute Henri Camara smashed a 66th-minute shot against the crossbar, and facing injury and suspension problems after a black day in the north-east.

In a tight first half, Sunderland enjoyed the better chances. Former Black Cat Thomas Sorensen had earlier beaten away a stinging left-foot drive from Jones, while Danny Collins had headed a driven Kieran Richardson cross over the bar and would see Stephen Kelly clear an injury-time effort off the line.

[Filho]

In less than half a season, KJ has tied his league tally and surpassed his total goal tally of last year. That's what I call a steep learning curve

[Trini boi]

In less than half a season, KJ has tied his league tally and surpassed his total goal tally of last year. That's what I call a steep learning curve

add that to him already missing a significant part (2-3 months) in the beginning of the year

yeah..i counted that. he's done it in 16 league games and there are 38, so 3 shy of half a season. more impressive given he missed preseason

They did not include the hand ball.

Scrappy game, blatant wrong ref decision, didn't play well but won.

All about points.

Good luck in the week.

Ya kno Kev, that seems to be a very common remark after MOST games and at times it discourages me from watching some matches
The FA HAS to change their thinking
just look at the game that Frank got a red card then another player KICKED another player in the back right infront of ther linesman and nothing was done to him
BOTH CALLS were SCREWED UP
How can the FA claim that their refs are professional

Check the NFL where sometimes the decision on the field is reversed which gives the WHOLE process legitamacy
I am sure that the officials in the NFL are not offended in any way

[kev]

The problem is FIFA don't want to use technology, going on about an extra 2 officials.  I think the vast majority of fans want technology, debatable decisions are part and parcel of the games always have been, it has always favoured the bigger clubs.  But we have been on the wrong side of far too many Blatant decision far too often for my liking.  So far this season we have been denied at least 3 penalties, 3 sending offs, 2 wrong penalties, 1 disqualified goal that wasn't all apart from yesterday that cost points, we have yet to have one go our way.  It was the same last season aswell.

The truth is in the EPL the refs don't give a stuff about any clubs other than 4-6 the rest of us just have to grin and bear it. If I was the chairman I would be on the phone tomorrow to Hackett (head of refs) asking whats going on as the club don't seem to be getting a fair shake indeed appears more of a raw deal.  As I have said debatable ones you shrug your shoulders at, but ones that a blind man on a galloping horse can see, yet at least 2 officials seem to miss I find very hard to understand.

I'm sorry and exactly where in the SOL were you sitting?

We didn't play well, we struggled to create much against a team that had to make 3 subs in the 1st 30 minutes and had a man sent off (although 25 mins late).  The keeper didn't really have that much to do.

Trust me I have seen enough crap football to know it when I see it. 

The team just isn't balanced / right mix.  We huffed and puffed in a generally scrappy game.  Results is all that matters from now until the end another 9 points will be OK

I think what Omar is saying is that they never "play well"...

[kev]

Yeah I know

But last week they did well the 1st half anyway, but they have yet to put in 2 halves in any match this season tbh

[Pointman]

Niceness. KJ walkin' into El Salvo wit' a beas' attitude.

I hope KJ doesn't do like Dwight against Jamaica after Dwight unleashed 3 of the very best on Arsenal

And T&T does play well?! stuueeeppsss! the biasness of some members.

from my point of view sunderland is ah very good team and they have @ least 9 starters who are technically sound players, something i wish our national team had TBH. richardson, ried, cisse, ferdinand,bardsley , malbraunch,tiano ,nosworthy , fulop.

these are all players we would love to have on our team, so stop calling the ppl team shitty, as for their fan base, they have real fans , not the fickle shyte we call fans in the caribbean who wouldn't travel 10 miles to watch ah game, far more a 100 miles in the cold.

Omar is trying his best to be mean spirited, to what end i don't know, but truth be told , if sunlun don't play good ball to our liking it's BC they play against some of the tip top best players in the WORLD!

so to most they may not measure up to ah MAN-U or ah CHELSEA on the club level, but compared to international standards, we would be glad to have players like that on our team!

[WestCoast]

allya doin some serious a-la-vive fishing today

[kicker]

Yeah I know

I hear you.  I haven't seen many of their games this season.  (It seems like last season they got more TV coverage...on FSC at least- maybe because of Keane)....so I can't comment- I was just picking Omar's mind.  

Last season I would say they were an ugly team from what I saw.  On paper they have more to offer this season so I wouldn't be surprised if the quality is a little easier on the eye this time around.  It would also appear that KJ is having a better season this time around though he seemed to be more hyped last season....just goes to show.
