1-1 Pen, Ryan Taylor foul.

 

Little bastard what he is, never seen a worse player wear a Newcastle shirt like him. Can't believe at first I contimplated him as a decent signing because he scored free-kicks against us, he's a disgrace. He missed three bastarding chances on Wednesday, and now he concedes a penalty. Butt can leave and I hope he never makes an appearance in a Newcastle United shirt again.

final score 1-1, we concede two penalties, one by Nolan, the other by Ryan Taylor, great save by Harper for the first, but sent the wrong way for the late pen to deny us a win, sounded like we played well second half, Carroll, Barton and Smith having the better for United.

Just back. First half was absolutely awful. Neither keeper made a save.

 

Second half, cross from the right and Carroll goes up with the keeper who spills it, Carroll slots home. Hard to say for definite if the handball was the right decision or not, but Harper made an excellent save. Second penalty looked a little soft to say the least.

 

Second half performance was ok. Carroll had a good game overall. Barton looked lively enough and missed a really good chance when put through. Kevin Nolan had a shot right at the end brilliantly tipped over the bar.

 

Other than that nothing too exciting.

Looking good. Our last 3 games are a loss and 2 draws to lower league opposition. With our premier league squad!

 

I wouldnt be too concerned, there are premier league sides drawing/losing to them as well if youve been tracking friendlies down.

Nowt to get excited about. Forgot Smith was playing in the first half. Barton looked good. Kadar seemed to grow with confidence as the game went on and looked good with the ball at his feet. Good goal from Carroll. Could not tell about the pens but looked a good save from Harper for the first. Jonas kept on giving the ball away though. Jose looked looked all right as well. Any word on what happened with Duff? was it a case of taken him off before he got sent off? Seemed to be a lot of toon players surrounding the ref and then duff ran off. We thought he had been sent off until he was subbed.

Lee Ryder reckons the ref told Hughton to sub him.

Apparently, just wouldn't shut up so the ref "advised" that he should be subbed.

Yeah that's what it looked like. Duff was going mental and then the ref just pointed over to the bench instead of sending him off. On came Geremi, who ran like he was about 105.

Went to the game today, thought it was an average game played by two average teams. First half was nothing to write home about. Second half got a bit better and for spells we looked like a decent team. Thought Joey Barton, Andy Carroll, Steve Harper and Tamas Kadar played well apart from that the rest looked either disinterested or just not very good. Jonas was appalling throughout and don't know why he wasn't subbed. The travelling support were fantastic throughout with some great chants - apart from one guy who just shouted abuse at the fans/players throughout. Dundee fans were very quiet for the whole game bar the two pens. Also got my programme signed by Barton, Taylor and Nolan!!

Jonas did look like he wante to be anywhere except in that Newcastle team.

 

Thought kadar looked solid and carroll looked dangerous on every attack.

 

yes he did, if i was hughton for next week drop jonas and play lualua with him on right and duff on left - move smith and nolan around too as he ain't a striker and smith was far too deep today. apart from that not much else he can do to be fair!!

Were you up among the guys who were singing the H-E-A-R-T-S song at half time? That was certainly bizarre!
