Sunderland Fans react to Colback Call-Up – Best Virals

Newcastle United's Jack Colback was today called up to the England squad by manager Roy Hodgson.

It’s excellent news for the newly-signed Newcastle-born midfielder. Having spent eight years in the Sunderland set-up, he hadn’t ever got a look in. However, after having played just two games for Newcastle, he has been rewarded with his first call-up.

And on that note, many Sunderland fans have reacted badly to the news on Twitter. Here are just a few of the responses:

Jack Colback in the England squad ahead of Cattermole? That is actually bullshit #SAFC

Jack Colback in the England squad! Never got a look in at Sunderland yet he’s joined Newcastle and suddenly he is world class!

Unbelievable. Colback wouldn’t get a game ahead of Cattermole in any team other than #eng #safc have improved without him #nufc are worse. — Chris Whitehead (@ChrisMagoo73) August 28, 2014

Colback would not get in ahead of Rodwell, Larsson and Cattermole #safc

How the fuck has Colback got an England call up, he’s shite. I font understand how Cattermole hasn’t been called up, absolute rubbish

Hey @England, care to explain the decision to omit Colback from the U21s but is instantly worthy of the full side now he’s not at #safc? No? — Liam McCausland (@CausyFSB) August 28, 2014

Congratulations to Jack Colback – an SAFC Youth product in the England squad – though I have no idea how he got in ahead of Cattermole….. — Gary Jerry (@garyjerry) August 28, 2014

Ignored while at #safc yet Colback is good enough for #england after two games for the mags. The @FA really are a joke. #secretagenda — DAVESAFC (@DPT1969) August 28, 2014

Colback isn’t fit to lace Cattermole’s black boots. Disgrace if he’s called up the England squad ahead of him. #safc — Sunderland Stats (@SunderlandStats) August 27, 2014

And this is how several of the Newcastle fans reacted.

“Cattermole should have had an England call-up, not Colback.” #NUFC #SAFC pic.twitter.com/ZFmQtRj8uN — Lauren Stewart (@lstewie14) August 28, 2014

Jack Colback leaves #SAFC for #NUFC and walks into the England squad… nothing more needs to be said #PrideOfTheNorthEast #United — NUFCfans.co.uk (@nufcfans) August 28, 2014

“@Irvsays: Colback couldn’t tie cattermoles boots. #safc” He doesn’t have time, too busy playing international football.
