Just in case one of the media darlings run into an issue? I honestly don't know but I'm almost certain Alnwick isn't registered, having 4 keepers registered makes fuck all sense and we wouldn't have needed to register him. That's why I find the whole situation ridiculous, Darlow is registered so he counts and since we have Alnwick we have more than one keeper? seems totally fucking harsh.

Santiago Munez

Aye, some of us would look half decent in some of these set ups he needs ffs.

There's barely any with three tbh. Just had a quick look at Hull, Sunderland and Everton there Hull have McGregor, Harper and some 30 year old who's out on loan at Leyton Orient, Sunderland have Mannone, Pantmillion then youth keepers, Everton have Robles, Howard and youth keepers.

I dislike the ownership and management of the club but I can't blame them. I don't think Alnwick and Woodman are registered I assume they're eligible due to their age at registration, there's no way we have 5 goalkeepers registered for a squad of 25. The mistake is registering Darlow which we can point to but this is a really rare occurrence and it wouldn't have raised any red flags among fans before the season, the fact the FA is preventing us from getting a loan in because of this mistake is ridiculous and they've let clubs get off with lesser 'punishment' for worse administrative errors (such as Ki playing games unregistered for the mackems only resulting in a small fine). Seems odd we were even allowed to register a player that we can't recall anyway. I just think it's harsh blaming this on the club tbh, even when we had Given and Harper we didn't have much besides youth players backing them up because having two keepers out on longish term injuries rarely happens. Just the FA being lazy tbh, rather than try and take some action on a slightly gray issue they've stuck to the letter of the law and since he was registered he counts.

Aye I agree experience is more important for keepers than outfielders. That being said I'd still prefer to see Woodman start the derby mind as Alnwick looked completely fucking incapable, the lad couldn't even get his positioning right on two of the goals ffs. Woodman at least seems to be respected in the youth set up (hopefully for more than the fact his dad is a coach) whereas Alnwick already knows this is his last few month at the club. I'd say that I was disgusted that the FA have decided to prevent us from getting an emergency loan on a bit of a technicality but tbh I expect no less from that fucking shambles.

So most shots on target will go in until then, fantastic. I'm sure they'll unregister Darlow and bring in a loan Jan 1st but it's going to cost us another loss to the tramps.

:lol: Woodman would have to give his son a right kicking in all if that FA spokesmans comments are true, we need to be down to one fit keeper and Darlow counts as one which is totally fucking bizarre. I still don't understand how they can count a bloke who isn't even available for selection Whether he was registered or not we can't fucking play him! only Football authorities could come out with utter bilge like that. I'm sure if it was one of the bigger boys in this situation they'd be sweet.

Surely we can get an emergency loan now ffs

I don't blame Pardew tbh, we're in a situation that very rarely happens. I blame the FA for blocking our attempt to get an emergency loan on a fucking technicality.

Should show this video to the FA explaining this lad cant possibly be a goalie

Soldado still gets a chance to prove he is also useless

Aye, I'm just shocked this lad has lasted so long in the academy, he's 21 isnt he? Depressing.

Aye I take that insult to conference keepers back, he'll be stacking shelves in Tesco. Nowt made of glass with them butter fingers.

This lad is fucking tragic.

The Mackems will fucking clip us again the pricks, good run over and reduced to this cconferece standard keeper.

Armstrong on

He'll be Gatesheads back up next year.

This lads fucking useless, he's the best we have in our academy? Surely that Woodman lad is better? Disgrace that we aren't allowed a loan and cant recall Darlow. Any shot on target is dangerous with this lad.

Felt more confident with Jose Enrique in net. That was routine as fuck and he completely misjudged it and still tried to catch it rather than punch it away when he wasn't able to reach.

That's that then

Jesus wept man.

Aye, I'd rather Cisse in for Riviere and Sammy for Gouffran but we know that Pardew loves Gouffran so it seems he's going for it. Shame Janmaat isn't there too mind.
