            Typical Lee Johnson side.4

            ban their key players and then turn them over next week.0
 - 
            Johnson, Robinson, Kettle will always be involved in nonsense. Add Kamara to it as the interviewer and its no surprise we have a big story.2
 - 
            The EFL take the matter very seriously and as such both teams will be forced to play their next home games behind closed doors as punishment.49

            Do these teams not have CCTV in the tunnels and dressing rooms, same as Barnsley with the Joey Barton incident? - All this blustering from both Lee Johnson and Karl Robinson, surely just keep your mouths shut as if there is anything to report to the police then clear evidence can be shown from cameras.0

            Sunderland feeling the pressure ? And next week they’ve got their promotion hopes nemesis...2

I mean - Kettle is a prick, for sure - but blaming him for a headbutt is a bit of a stretch... 😬JohnnyH2 said:Johnson, Robinson, Kettle will always be involved in nonsense. Add Kamara to it as the interviewer and its no surprise we have a big story.4 - 
            
If there was a headbutt im not blaming him for that, but if a game is likely to get out of control in the EFL there is a higher chance if Kettle is involved.Leroy Ambrose said:

If the managers are likely to get involved during and certainly in interviews afterwards then Johnson and Robinson will be more likely involved than not5 - 
            Possibly a stupid comment, but why were both teams in the tunnel at same time at HT. We’ve spent most of the season clattering down the West Stand stairs to avoid opposition. Sunderland apparently are so close to other team they can headbutt them.26

            Karl Robinson on Trevor Kettle:
"It was a good game of football, spoiled by you know who. I don't want to say his name. The decisions have baffled me.
We had a player down for that second goal. There was a duty of care to see if the player was injured, the man in the middle wanted to make it about him. I respect Trevor, had him a lot.”
Consistent as ever. 😂

Good point, the Stadium of Light surely has space for a separate entrance for the away side to the dressing room area or wherever they're changing?stoneroses19 said:Possibly a stupid comment, but why were both teams in the tunnel at same time at HT.

            All leave to be cancelled and extra forces drafted in as police prepare to interview the Oxford manager!

            Why not just let one team down the tunnel, once it's cleared the other team can then use it.

            Maybe it’s a good job Lee Bowyer’s not in charge of us, could see him giving out some pastings to the Sunderland lads next week in the tunnel!2
 - 
            Hope there's no aggro in the tunnel when we play them, as Johnson always seems to be on the windup.
Convenient the cameras were switched off! We need to put Johnson and Sunderland in their place!0 -

            Calling the police seems a bit OTT.0

            Having seen the Max Power goal celebration, I am amazed how the ref didn't deem that to be serious ungentlemanly conduct.1

If gobbo can get a red card for pointing out they had a player injured when the free kick was taken that lead to Sunderlands second goal then so did the goal celebration.MuttleyCAFC said:Having seen the Max Power goal celebration, I am amazed how the ref didn't deem that to be serious ungentlemanly conduct.0 -

I suspect initiating winding up players who were in the Charlton team that beat them at Wembley wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do if you didn’t want to be on the receiving end of a massive piss take yourself. How many of our current squad were on the pitch that day two years ago ? Pratley, Pearce, Purrington...anyone else ?Silverdreammachine said:Hope there's no aggro in the tunnel when we play them, as Johnson always seems to be on the windup.

            Loved it when their guy was pissing about with the ball and Pratley walked up to him, grabbed the ball and pushed him over.3

Do that on the street and you get arrested under the Public Order Act as likely to cause a breach of the peace.MuttleyCAFC said:Having seen the Max Power goal celebration, I am amazed how the ref didn't deem that to be serious ungentlemanly conduct.
Absolutely requires a minimum of a yellow card. I would be unhappy if it was one of our players, unless we had just 'sent the Palace down' of course.1 - 
            Always makes me laugh the Sunderland player named after a magazine of cars and tits0

What did he do that warranted being in breach of the peace? I saw him slide in front of the Oxford United bench. What happened after?TellyTubby said:
