Monsieur Salut writes: it reads like an open letter and comes from Tom Lynn, a familiar figure at Sunderland games home and away as well as being the man who edited a much-missed fanzine The Wearside Roar. The sentiments are intended for ‘Brian’. Someone whose e-mail address does appear to belong to a Brian has […]

Sixer’s Bradford City Soapbox: Plenty of Christmas cheer on Boxing Day
Malcolm Dawson writes…..it was like old times yesterday with a packed house to welcome our visitors from Bradford, which included more than 2,000 in the North Stand Upper, who had made the Boxing Day trip from West Yorkshire. Half time included a perfect rendition of “Shipyards” by Martin Longstaff, who performs as The Lake Poets. […]
Sixer’s Substitute’s Bristol Rovers Soapbox: Black Cats do just enough to snuff out the Gas
Pete Sixsmith’s festive commitments means he has only one more game to miss before he returns to these pages after the Boxing Day fixture against Bradford City so once again Malcolm Dawson takes to the soapbox to report on yesterday’s game against a Bristol Rovers side looking to turn their season around. This game had […]
Sixer’s Substitute Soapbox: Cats finish off Notts County’s Magpies in FL Trophy
We expect changes for the Checkatrade Trophy and here at Salut! Sunderland, with Pete Sixsmith otherwise engaged at what for him is busy time of year, Malcolm Dawson once again steps off the bench and onto the soapbox with his perspective on a cold night at the Stadium of Light. Pete and I travelled […]
Sixer’s Wycombe Wanderers Soapbox: Maja rocks the Chairboys
Malcolm Dawson writes……as I struggled to sleep in the early hours my thoughts turned to the afternoon’s events and looking for positives, I began to think that perhaps this result was in fact a good thing. Whilst we want to win every game it is unrealistic to expect no slip ups (though Celtic may point […]
Wrinkly Pete: can’t help falling back in love ….
Peter Lynn, our own Wrinkly Pete, makes a welcome return to these pages with a positive appraisal of all things SAFC. And no, he never actually fell out of love; it was just a lovers’ tiff … “I can’t help falling in love” – again. Old fashioned as I am, I didn’t feel right contributing […]
Sixer’s Substitute’s Southend Soapbox: Sunderland leave Shrimpers high and dry
Sunderland 3 Southend United 0 Malcolm Dawson writes……don’t be deceived. This was no walk in the park, though we did finish the game as comfortable winners. More comfortable than the Sunderland supporter who appeared on Friday’s edition of Mastermind, anyway. If you didn’t see it and want to catch up on the i-player I won’t […]
They’ve all gone quiet over there. Where is Brian, Sunderland’s counter-revolutionary?
Catts out, gooch out, mcgeoch out of his depth, ditto nien, honeyman out of form. Malcolm Dawson, deputy editor, compares and contrasts Sunderland AFC’s encouraging progress on and off the field with some less positive thoughts remembered from one contributor to Comments at Salut! Sunderland earlier in the season … (more…)
Sixer’s Substitute’s Peterborough Soapbox: entertaining night at the Stadium of Light
Malcolm Dawson writes…..I am not renowned for showing extremes of emotion and tend to just go with the flow for the most part, but last night I went through a whole gamut of emotions. Firstly, as Pete Sixsmith and I travelled into town from the County Durham hinterland a listener called in to Radio Newcastle’s […]
Sixer’s Rochdale Soapbox: Oh oh oh it’s Maja…….and a dozen or so others!
Malcolm Dawson writes……..on the walk back to the car yesterday, I saw a yellow legged gull scrapping for a discarded chip near the sheepfolds. Yellow legged gulls look just like herring gulls, but are the Mediterranean species identified by ……you’ve guessed ……yellow legs rather than salmon pink ones. So it was miles away from its […]
