'Spectators' in the main - not supporters. Many hardcore supporters rapped in long ago.

Great post and spot on. That might be worth sharing online and seeing if it will go viral.

It's ironic that folk tell other supporters to sit down and support the team when the anti-Ashley chants start. My question is - where is this mythical support of the team at St James, of recent? ::

I didn't hear any at all on Radio Newcastle.

Rafa - "Not good enough in final third - players gave everything though. Plenty possession and chances, but not clinical. Has confidence that things will improve as we are creating chances." He sounds very downbeat.

10 for me.

TV cash banked, and fans beginning to turn on the manager. Guess who wins again?

Rafa haters are out on force, online. I think it's moved a lot closer after today.

I agree that it's time for protests to be taking inside the ground - for those that still want to attend game.

Blyth out of the FA Cup. Lost 1-0 to York in front of 1300.

Brighton miss a sitter to make it 2-0.

No chants against the owner today, either. Apathy reigns supreme.

Ashley won't spend owt in Jan, man - regardless of who is manager by then!

Brighton should be 2-0 up - chance missed after a mistake from Lascelles.

You get what you pay for. Only one man to blame, and it's not Rafa.

Atmosphere is dead as usual. Not even any anti-Ashley chants. Folk have given up.

50359 there today.

He isn't. Because he's banked the TV cash and will genuinely think we can bounce back at the first attempt.

Thought Dunston competed well, but the extra class and quality from Gateshead told in the end. Blyth losing 1-0 at home to York at HT.

I think he'd be loathed to pay him off. Depends I think if the crowd turn on Rafa (which could happen, unfortunately)

Muto puts a chance over the bar. Should have scored.

Looks like I've not missed much! We are done.
