It's been like this for a few years now. I think it's because Irish channels are showing the game simultaneously but that's not the case with Newcastle games unless Setanta Ireland are showing it.

I thought that there was already a few of the newcastle europa cup matches on tv this season. Is it just with ESPN?

Well, as long as its on somewhere. Let's hope the refs in this match aren't involved in some betting syndicate again.....:p

Not sure how it works tbh, all I know is those two channels are showing it and it wont work on ESPN in Ireland.

Setanta Ireland are showing Spurs - Lyon and Chelsea - Sparta, Newcastle are on Setanta Sports 1, it's the next channel after Setanta Ireland on Sky but I don't have either.

Messi is back in training

So Pardew says he will be putting out a strong line-up on Thursday. I suppose it makes little sense busting your bollox to get into a tournament and not take it seriously. The team should be interesting, my guess would be:

Krul

Simp Colo Mbiwa Santon

Anita Tiote

Marv Sissoko Jonas

Ameobi

Santon and Ben Arfa left behind. There was a team sheet somewhere on Twitter but far too lazy to find it at the moment.

Will probably go with Taylor at CB and move Mbiwa over so.

Possibly. We're 3/1 with Paddy Power to win the game which may not be a bad bet.

Definitely a good bet in my opinion. Two goals disallowed last week and played reasonably well. Team will only get stronger with every game that they play together.

PauloConn

3/1, is that over 90 minutes or win overall? Might have to stick a wedge on that

90 mins lad.

PauloConn

You'd be a bit worried it'd sneak into extra time and then they'd pinch a winner....
Still looks like a good one to put something on. Best get round and visit PP at lunch

TaosHum

I can understand the 3/1 tbh. They were quite good for the first hour and created some very good chances, even though that was their first competitive game in two months. On the other hand, they really tired in the last 20 minutes and looked to be just hanging on.

I think they will score tomorrow, whether Newcastle can stay with them will be the question.

Would it not be more 4-3-3 with Marveaux on left, Cisse right and Shola centre.. No striking options on the bench! Would have went with Obertan myself for his pace on the break.

Would have my gran on instead of Obertan, offers pace, granted but absolutely nothing else. Attitude stinks too

could well be gav sky didnt mention formation so i was having a stab at it, tho marv seems to do better in the middle of the park/just behind the striker

gav86

Ah yeah maybe even Gutierrez in instead, he's been playing a bit better recently. I think we all know that Cisse out wide isnt an option..

Back 4 could be a bit shakey tonight would have put Taylor in. Put out your best team and all.

BetterCallSaul

Nearly forgot we were on early. Strange line-up. Don't see us qualifying tonight, but not that bothered either way, cause a trip to Anzhi doesn't look too appealing and I doubt we would beat them over 2 legs.

M5

Shola having a stormer so far

M5

The diving from both sides is getting old already

surprised sissoko didnt do better there

NUFC on top

M5

FUk me, Metalist player has his arm around Ameobis throat and the ref gives a free out!!!

Cant remember a game with so many free kicks.

Sissoko having a mare, Cabaye and Shola playing well

cadete

they look really poor so far tonight but need a goal

M5

Simpson showing us what we are missing :rolleyes:

Sorry for the stupid Q, but is the match on any channel?

Ref is giving everything.... but to both sides in fairness

M5

That was the chance.... Nice play by Sissoko and Ameobi in particular

M5

Get the ball to Shola! Everything coming off for him!\

Looks like another poor finish by Cisse!

M5

Half time

That will do. Started off really well, metalist well in it towards the end.

Ref is as fussy as i have seen! Two players make contact at all and its a FK

cadete

should really have made more of that half we were way ahead for the first 30 odd minutes

Haidara has looked really good nice and solid some nice touches and seems comfortable on the ball

Spot on. Hopefully the ref will spot one of the several elbows that metalist have thrown!

M5

FFS ref, thats a joke

cadete

if he doesnt give a free there ahainst haidara hows he not booked your man for diving

M5

I say it for about the 1000th time this season. What the fcuk is the story with our set pieces??? We should just shoot. Crossing seems to be impossible.

Ref at it again

M5

Jasis MArveaux!!!! Cabbage!

cadete

pulls that square we score!!!

M5

Even Cisse couldnt miss that! Abysmal

M5

And Again.... Marveaux taking the ball of cabaye and making a mess of it

M5

Lol, Cisse offside in an onside position again....

He did, but had no need to... Shocking defending! Barring total collapse that should be it!

Finally!! hope we put this to bed now

Moneymaker

I ****ing love Shola.

BetterCallSaul

Was bricking it when I though Cisse would take it but forgot Shola was on there.

1-0 Gwan.
