The FA don't need to "prove" anything going by Shelvey's "racist" comment charge last season. All the witnesses for the "prosecution" had a different version of what Shelvey supposedly said while all the NUFC players who said he didn't say what he was accused of were ignored.

Newcastle's U23 on tonight (see the Reserves thread for streaming details). Gayle is due to play.

Gayle, Colback, Aarons, Saivet and Sterry are in the squad. Apparently Gayle and Colback will play. Woodman in goal.

The goal scorer was about one metre away from the goal line. I doubt Elliot had any time to react.

Unless lots of people post it somewhere public like on Twitter to MOTD and the like nothing will happen or change. Bombard all those talking head ex-players and media arseholes like Richard Keys and ask them why they aren't demanding a ban like they do for our players. I remember when Allardyce compiled a video compilation of all the shit decisions given against Bolton. It was just dismissed by the media as sour grapes. For some reason NUFC are on the shit list when it comes to the FA and the media.

We didn't seem to win anything in the air. The Brighton players seemed a foot taller than our players when jumping for the ball.

We're a good choice but who makes money from owning a Premiership club? The income may have gone up but so have all the transfer fees. It costs a lot more to compete and stay in the Premiership than it did when Ashley bought the club. If any buyer purchases NUFC with the aim to make money we're in trouble. It needs to be a billionaire's prestige boosting ego purchase (like Chelsea) or a promotional purchase for a state run investment vehicle (like PSG and Man City). I thought Ashley was wanting £450m so £380m is an improvement.

£1.9m but he's already promised £1m per place to the players.

People want him to do well. When he doesn't do well people are allowed to criticise.

He wasn't very impressive in the 45 minutes he got playing for the under 23s on Monday.

£1m more to share between the players for each position starting above 17th in the report I read. I.e 16th £1m, 15th £2m, etc. On top of the £4m for 17th.

2 - 2 Pen

Not great defending by our defender leaving his man unmarked.

My stream froze, refreshed and we'd scored.

Playing for the reserves tonight, free to watch via Nufc.co.uk. See Reserves thread for details. http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,60541.8375.html

Shelvey is playing tonight for the reserves. Streamed for free, see above.

I thought he was very good, especially considering Swansea sent everything down his side in the first half.

Rotated not dropped. Rafa likes to keep players fresh.

I can't read them but I do see they have Hanley, Rivière, Lazaar and Krul listed!
