Football

Fans of The Rangers brought back down to earth but a bump and reminded there is a big difference between playing part time teams and full time teams.

The last thing I heard a while ago, is that the Ibrox mob are now called Rangers International Football Club. Previously before that, they were called The Rangers as mentioned, before starting out as Sevco 5088 in 2012.

It does seem ironic they are now called Rangers International FC, as they have yet to play a competitive international match in the UEFA tournaments.

My team Aston Villa just made it through to the next round. More importantly, a clean sheet was kept - perhaps the team can build on that in the league?

Hurrah! Carlisle equalise through Derek Asamoah at Anfield.

Well done Carlisle. Glad I didn't go out of my way to go tonight. Worser red me.

I had to look again... I thought you said Derek Acorah

Even worse, according to the BBC Live Text, Iago Aspas scored a 'terrific' goal to put Celta Vigo 4-0 up against Barcelona. :P

Blimey, who the heck are Celta Vigo (one of those teams who will have a brilliant start before dropping down to mid-table at season end where their best players will be purchased for many millions of euros by Real Madrid and next year end up going down?)

Liverpool are very much struggling. It's becoming a joke. The more I watch Liverpool the more I think Suarez was responsible for Liverpool finishing 2nd and not the manager.

Id say they are the Spanish equivalent to a team such a Swansea.

I've got nothing against Newcastle fans and their long wait for silverware but as a Derby County supporter I'm delighted that another nail has been hammered into Steve McClaren's coffin tonight.

A well deserved win for The Owls, I'm really looking forward to the next round.

Even more so given that they had their reserve team out!

From what my mate who was there said it was a really good team performance, and it was a great goal from McGugan. On our current form (I'd say we've played well since the Burnley game) I think we could have won by more had the first team played, but 1-0 is still a win. I'll certainly try to get to the Arsenal game if I can!

Winchester City 5...Folland Sports 1 (Flooks 24, 62, Bentley 36, 60, Barron 71; Dark 89)

Winchester City easily progress to the next round of the Hampshire FA Cup against a Wessex League side. Next up, the small matter of an FA Cup tie against Maidenhead United.

would they be the same fans who haven't won a trophy in colour?

The following North East clubs have all won a trophy since Newcastle last won a cup in 1734:

Sunderland
Middlesbrough
Darlington
Whitby
Whitley Bay
Dunston
Spennymoor
North Shields

Carlisle was so close to an upset taking the might of Liverpool to penalties.

Do catch up - people were saying that whilst he was still playing for Liverpool.


Another lousy match for our lot again. Im glad I didn't stay up for the highlights

What is the issue at Newcastle do you reckon? Manager? Chairman? Players? Quality? it seems to be going wrong very quickly. Could be worse, it could be Sunderland!

Chairman it seems? The wally with the brolly hasn't done any better than the legendary John Carver

Some of the players I reckon who just don't want to be there anymore - like Cisse who was making noise for a move in the summer - can disrupt the rest of them. We did get in some promising looking players I just don't think there really has been enough time for them to gel as a team but right now we don't have time.

Cant be the chairman as he just forked out some money at last

I think it is certain "influential" players not wanting to play for them anymore. Newcastle have spent a lot of money this summer, trying to blame Ashley for the failures is a bit harsh, although of course letting the team get into this state before the summer has a big part to play with it.

I think Newcastle will be alright in the end, which is more than can be said for Sunderland.

Here's hoping or we may end up playing the noisy neighbours in the league next time around

Speaking of the Villa a great match is set to take place there this weekend although of course this is not the thread for it

Bloody sacrilege is what it is. Letting fat posh boys chase eggs around the hallowed turf. Should never have been allowed

Didn't Newcastle win the championship a few years back after their relegation? I think there is a trophy for that.

 

[les.]

I see Robert Lewandowski has scored more goals in 9 minutes than Liverpool have scored in the league all season!

And didn't they win the battleship board a few years ago with the intertoro cup?

Didn't remember that. What a trophy that is!

It was lifted by that all-time world legend of football, Scott Parker. :P

What has happened to him? Retired?

 

[backontrack]

Still playing, in the Championship for Fulham. He was forgotten quickly, wasn't he? :P

Of course, once, he was England captain. How times have changed...

Huddersfield Town 1 - 1 Nottingham Forest
Leaving aside the absurdity of Thursday night football, the underdogs of Huddersfield (with three gold stars to Forest's two) could have quite easily been 3-0 up inside half an hour, but Forest took the lead with their first clear shot at goal (interpretation of the advantage rule being significant for Huddersfield's Harry Bunn on 17mins) and only really threatened once during the second half. Thankfully a late strike from Emyr Huws (his 4th in 3 games) meant that justice was served to an extent.

Final Score are showing why I prefer the radio for football. I may take the mute off when they stop wanking off the top 6.
