If you watch the clip roll on, one thing you notice is Fletcher actually holds HIS FACE!!
And they have the nerve to call us cheats? Referee was poor today, but for once it went our way.

I haven't even watched it since the game but didn't Bego clear the ball and they collided into each other?
It looked nowt at the time.

Is that what they're going mad about?Embarrassing i'm afraid. I am puzzled as to why goalkeepers are entitled to jump in (to win the ball or otherwise) with their studs at chest height but outfield players will be penalised. If a Sunderland outfield player had gone in similarly on a Stoke player, you guys would be in meltdown. |

This is such a nothing incident. Basically, the clueless Mackems believe that Begovic should have pulled out... right... so he should have just allowed Stephen Fletcher to run through and score a goal in an empty net eh?
Fucking braindead arseholes, the lot of them.

But not as puzzling as why Fletcher holds his face when Bego's leg never came within a foot of his head!  |

Oh my days! Let's be honest, most of you are... I went to Blunderland away in our first season... y'know, the game when Etherington was sent off for nothing and Andy Reid handled the ball in the lead up to your goal (irony... you don't fucking understand the word do you?) and most of your own fans admitted that they won't live in Sunderland because it's such a dirty, shitty, backward area, with cars on bricks, and little druggies running around owning the place. Most of them travelled in on the Metro every game. |

It wasn't even chest height. Fletcher only got hit in the chest because he was on his way down. Good goalkeeping.
Absolutely nothing in this. If not for the red card, it wouldn't even have featured in highlight reels.

Actually what the video of this incident DOES show is what a class act Bego is. He not only manages to safely boot the ball clear without giving away a penalty, but he does it and then bends his leg so that the impact on Fletcher is minimal. The end result? No goal, no penalty and no injury to the "prima donna" wearing a number 9 shirt. That's pure, unadulterated class from one of the world's best keepers. I wish Fletcher hadn't made a meal of it as I rather like him as a player, he's the sort of striker I would like at Stoke. He'd score a load of goals for us - always assuming he didn't get killed by a non-existant kick in the face! |

Plenty of fodder here.....
Bego's challenge was reckless. He did catch Fletcher on the chest, but not in the face as he was trying to claim. If he had complained about the boot on the chest I would not have joined in the "cheat" chants. When Brown flew past Adam, studs showing, both legs off the floor, I thought "red card"' but seeing it again, it wasn't that bad, he went into the challenge more controlled than he came out of it, and a yellow would have been fair. I can't imagine an appeal will work. If Brown was not sent off, we still would have won, we were better, but worryingly, not better by a large amount. Adam, who was caught did not make a meal of things like Fletcher did. If nothing else, it shows the desperation in Sunderland.

It's top class goalkeeping. Started off second best, covered a huge amount of ground very quickly, cleared the danger and still found time to back his foot out and protect the player who clearly bottled it.
That's why he's worth 15M+
