Round 18. Newcastle away.

I know people don't like him, and I hold a grudge longer than anyone.
But...... give McGlinchey some games. He's likely to be looking for a club.
Give him a chance to show what he can do. Put him in the shop window.

Rather see him than SS right now.

Rather see him than SS right now.

because he'll be making to look a good impression for his next employers.

Where was the yellow for toopoor?

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Honestly, after that early bullshit yellow he went totally into his shell. I have zero doubt he was Scared of being sent, and letting everyone down.

Or maybe that soul destroying wank of a yellow card curtailed his game.

Yeah I hadn't thought about it that way. Just goes to show what an impact a single decision has.
Ams has been utterly shameless in his bias against Simon every single time - he's one of those refs who usually lets him get clobbered all game, every single time.
Makes sense that Simon felt the pressure to stay on the pitch given he wore the armband.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Not a yellow for T-S. ffs

For all those who want him playing down the middle there is your outcome

Yeah but I meant if he ‘played played’, not just jogged around in the middle etc.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

3 shots on target. Can't score if we don't shoot.
We're not even really getting it into the box this game - normally we at least do that, as ineffective as it is.

Could seriously have been an NRL score without Birra

 

[Michael]

Ruon and Birra the only ones that can walk away from this shit with their chins up right now
f**king woeful.

Let's not make the forum as toxic as the style of football.

I’m unsure how this is possible?

The Irish snake is off.

Really surprised at how quiet Simon was today. I wonder if being starting Captain again has messed with his head - maybe he was trying too hard to remain calm and lead that way, rather than just get out there and fire up. Who knows. Can't really isolate him in mindset today though.

Nah same old story.
Couldn’t get the ball near him or any other striker so not going to be a highlight.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

did Ams just whistle away our advantage again?

 

[Forum Phoenix]

I'm on the winger side. I'd rather Niz in the middle

I’d rather anyone than a player who doesn’t look like he’s trying or willing to put his body on the line.

 

[jacobsfl]

What happened to paying advantage?

He literally 2mins ago wandered over to 'press' someone, got there, could have tackled the ball off them but stood next to them for them to pass it.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

What happened to paying advantage?

Ams' advantage playing has been shocking tonight. Pulling it back when he shouldn't, and letting it go when there's no advantage.

Ziggy has worked hard

Interesting 7mins to come. CCM standard defending from Jets

 

[Michael]

Those who said Harold can’t play up front though
