@_harrymcbeth @ALS_Fanzine I agree he was grabbing his shirt and the hair got in the way. The refs are clueless. There has to be some common sense while interpreting the rules of football.

Not to be all ‘Utter Woke Nonsense’ but there has to be a rule that mandates players have their hair tied up if it’s to go below the neckline of their shirt. Understand why the rule is there but Ballard has clearly just gone to hold Tolu’s shirt and his hair has got in the way.

@TSN_Sports @CSA why is TSN blocking out 1/3 of the screen with huge graphics. The first cross into the box was blanked out by these unnecessary graphics

@fniez1878 @SunderlandAFC Yes that why it is sooooooo sweet

@SunderlandAFC Superb Sunderland, especially without Ballard. FTM!

FULL-TIME ON TYNESIDE

@ALS_Fanzine Hammered by Barca and Sunderland in the same week; it doesn’t get any worse for the Mags

Meanwhile back in Sunderland…

@ALS_Fanzine I have to say, after the first mistake; Luke was brilliant, he got right back into the game and was solid at the back. Well done Luke!

@bbcnewcastle @SunderlandAFC @ALS_Fanzine @RokerReport So excited; Ha’Way the Lads, remember Till The End

@steve2013 @RokerReport I thought Rigg had a decent half. Much better tha Talbi

@RokerReport Why is RLB trying to make rigg into a winger he isnt and never will be

Thoughts on this afternoons starting XI? #SAFC

@ALS_Fanzine We had a 15 minutes wobble, but we’ve come back into the game.

Half time: Sunderland 0-0 Brighton and Hove Albion Thoughts at the break? #SAFC

@bbcnewcastle @ALS_Fanzine @RokerReport @WiseMenSayPod @SunderlandAFC Whichever team stops the mistakes will win

@ALS_Fanzine Awesome

🇩🇪 The German Black Cats are over to watch the match! Last time, their president Martin came by himself. This time, they’ve brought 18 members in total to Wearside! 👏

@SunderlandAFC Correction: Isn’t comfortable with him in goal.

@SunderlandAFC Good save, but our back line comfortably with him in goal

Outstanding, Melker 🇸🇪

@ALS_Fanzine We were shite

Full time, 1-0. We exit the FA Cup at the hands of the team sitting bottom of League One. Thoughts on the game? #SAFC

Congratulations to Port Vale, good luck with the next rounds. You deserve it, we were not good enough!!!!

@AdamGeorgeB6 @RokerReport Xhaka could and should come on!

@RokerReport The worst part about this is we have no one on the bench that is going to come on and make a difference. This is massively embarrassing.

HT: Port Vale 1-0 Sunderland Thoughts on the first half performance? #SAFC

@RokerReport Poor start from the lads, game on now!

GOAL: Port Vale 1-0 Sunderland

@SunderlandAFC Tell Luke it’s not the 2nd half

Melker Ellborg 🤯

@SunderlandAFC @bbcnewcastle @ALS_Fanzine @RokerReport What a fantastic win for the lads! Considering we played the last 30 minutes down to 10 men; Isador didn’t even touch the ball. Brilliant for O’Nien and Alderete was immense. The whole team gave everything.

@SunderlandAFC Amazing !

WHAT A WIN!!!! ✊ #LEESUN

@SunderlandAFC Poor performance, almost as bad as the refs performance

BACK IN IT! 👊
