Stevenage V Newcastle United: FA Cup Round 3: Match Thread - 5:30pm

Raskolnikov

I thought red when I saw it first.

Moneymaker

I'd have no complaints if this was 4 or 5 tbh.

Next week will tell us a lot about Pardew and this rag-tag bunch of people masquerading as footballers.

M5

We have offered absolutely nothing here, brutal in every department. Its not embarrassing its unacceptable and unprofessional. We payed them no respect and are paying the price for our arrogance

I'd seriously have to question your knowledge of soccer if your saying thats a blatant red card?

He dived for the ball, he didn't go in two footed his other leg was behind him not even pointed towards the ball. He jumped in to get to the ball first and it was a good challenge, simple as.

Eh you can't just go diving in for the ball! Nor can you launch yourself six inches into the air!

Have a read of the rules on tackling about maintaining control of a challenge and tell me how he could possibly have control when he dived in with both feet six inches of the ground.

Would you be saying the same if he had mistimed it by a fraction and broken the other players leg because that is most likely what would have happened if he had been half a second late.

Getting the ball or not is irrelevant. It is a safety issue for the other player involved.

I haven't seen our game V Notts County but from what I heard on radio it was the same story for us.

Burley is right , Holloway is a [EMAIL="tw@t"]tw@t[/EMAIL].

Disgusted. Absolutely disgusted. Fair play to Stevenage. Playing out of their skin .

Incredible to think that the majority of our team is in our regular starting 11.

M5

Have we created one chance?

ye made one, the goalkeeper got his fingertips to it and put it out for a corner.

Nope.

As much as Villa Park in 2009 hurt, as much as any of the other countless defeats and non-performances hurt, I am downright ashamed and embarrassed by this display. I really hope those cretins on the field feel the same and react to this against the mackems next week.

Mars Bar

Krul does not know how to kick a ball, particularly on lumpy ground.

mike65

Goal!

2-1, ohh I was just going say well done the Stevenage for the old school Cupset.

That_Guy

COME ON!!!

Moneymaker

Wow, this will be some travesty if we pull this out of the fire.

if you dont start a game properly its not easy to get going. Thats what we have seen here. Serious questions need to be asked. I firmly believe our reserves would have beaten these as they may have displayed SOME hunger. Pardew has to explain how we looked so disinterested in the first half. You relax when the game is won, you dont assume you will win and relax anyway.

This could have cost he club millions potentially. Anyone accociated with this should be fined a weeks wages.

Too little to late lads

Bodhisopha

KEEPER!!!

Mars Bar

Glimmer of hope?

Newcastle won't deserve it.

That_Guy

Ah for fcuk sake.

mike65

Thats that.

The Sparrow

HAHA

Mars Bar

Nope, it's gone!!!

Wonderful finish.

That is bottle of the highest order. Well done Stevenage!

everdead.ie

Great move

M5

Well fair play Stevenage. I'll be listening rather carefully to hear Pardews excuses

Moneymaker

Nevermind. Just walked right through us. Disgrace.

Well done Stevenage, fully deserved. They wanted it so much more then we did.

Bodhisopha

Nice run, pass and finish.

The Volt

Bad day for the the North-East overall :pac:

That_Guy

Comical defending. Credit to Stevenage. Well done.

The Sparrow

I love the FA Cup

monkey9

Didn't see that coming from Newcastle!! :eek:

bazual

Happy that we are out of the cup but not the manner in which we went out. Pardew is a muppet, i think he gave them too much respect. putting 5 in midfield at start of second half and bringing on someone like Tiote with Sunderland next week. He is an idiot, should have played the youngsters and would have been same result. Bring back Hughton.

M5

you mean this m8

Didnt see that coming, but its not too much of a cupset is it... its not Like Newcastle are a long standing top flight side.

Nice goal by Joey tho...

It'll be an interesting game to say the least.

Both teams ravished by injury, Sunderland looking to make ameds for the 5-1 and Newcastle looking to make amends for tonight.

Must be so **** if your Joey Barton to score such a screamer, that no-one will ever remember due to the context.

Getting the ball or not is irrelevant. It is a safety issue for the other player involved.

Getting the ball is most definitely relevant, that is what constitutes a good tackle, i.e. getting the ball not the man. He dived in with one leg and won the challenge. How is that a bad tackle?

If he had mistimed it I wouldn't be saying the same no because he would have connected with the player instead of the ball, then it would be a bad tackle.

A bit of common sense is needed by the ref there, diving in one legged and winning the ball shouldn't result in a red card, I would give a yellow for studs showing and that would be it. I have seen worse tackles every week from standing challenges/over the top of the ball etc.

I'll leave it there because I am probably dealing with someone who has never kicked a ball and follows a rules book when some common sense is needed. If the rule book was followed as vividly by refs as you do then there would be frees every minute.

M5

NUFC almost as unprofessional as ESPN

Please stop posting, there's a good lad.

And just sigh at that wiki article. Some people just have no grace at all.

I think the crowd got to Barton, very poor petulant performance.

Never a red card either.

I would imagine that will be overturned TBH

Did anyone else notice the Stevenage player get chinned by a fan at the end of the game? :eek:

Says who? You? Just because you have decided it.

Unfortunately that is not how it works. Like it or hate it, the rules say different and that is all that matters. It was a definite red card according to the rules of the game.

Hes used to cries of derision from 30/40,000 highly doubt that was the reason TBH! He along with 10 others was well below par

Haven't a clue. Was it a Newcastle fan? I can't imagine a Stevenage fan chinning a player who has just helped them pull of one of their greatest ever results, but you never know :pac:

There's no way it will get overturned. It was a definite red. That's football nowadays whether you agree with it or not. You just can't go diving in like that.

dunno what your on m8,

Fair play to Stevenage they were hungry and deserved the win. This was a good example to see what the management style of Pardew was like against a supposed lesser team. He got it wrong big time which lets just hope it doesn't happen next week, because the league is what matters.

The Sparrow

Here is a video of the Stevenage player being decked by a fan. WTF :eek:
