The authorities at SJP really do seem quite extreme! I would be very surprised if any other ground in the league had this much trouble over a small corner of the ground standing during a game ffs! It's not like it's violence against the away fans, constant pitch invasions, or any other obvious destructive behaviour! It's just standing for goodness sake, and as people have said this would of been so avoidable had Level 7 been left untouched. Banning people from attending a football much for standing. Think about it for just a minute and it is just such an absurd thought. Our club, modern football=

I think Golfmag indicated it might in the next year or so. When he does, I will get absolutely mortal and dance through the streets of Newcastle and up to St.James' Park where I will proceed to jizz myself.

If I find that they become quite extreme with their handling in getting people to sit down, or the atmosphere in the corner dips considerably, I might just ask to get my ticket moved to the back of the Gallowgate- from what I read on here there seems to be a gathering up at the back there too; it could be less trouble too.

Did you have a leaflet on you seat/row? I couldn't tell you, I've missed the first two home games but will be there for the next one against Blackburn! I'm in the fourth row from the back, so I'd expect the first 3 or so rows stand? Asking the wrong person mate, i dont sit there all i know is whats said here about leaflets. I would imagine its zero tolerance though otherwise anyone thrown out will use that as an excuse.

What about the first few back rows that stand? surely they wont get penalised as they aren't really obstructing peoples view, despite it being and 'offence' to stand I'm mentioning the backs rows 'cos my tickets in one of them!

This is absolutely gutting news. An absolute fucking disgrace. This simply can't be justified. What is the point?

Excellent signing, imo. I still cant be feel its a crying shame Enrique's gone- a back line of: Santon----Coloccini----Taylor----Enrique Would be absolutely excellent. But moving on I'm thrilled he's signing!

I'd be pleased with a draw, although I can see a frustrating performance and a narrow defeat for some reason...

I can't believe how low the attendance was today. It makes you wonder just how many people are getting fed up of this regime and packing it in.

Aye, and doesn't go down clutching the back of his calf after someone puts a tackle in on him! But its a fair comparison, you can see even by the way he controls a ball and passes it that he's naturally a technically gifted player.

After listening to that Sky Sports bollocks I really would consider cancelling my subscription. Absolutely horrific stuff. I fucking hate them..

:lol:

The commentating on Sky Sports for the Liverpool Vs Bolton match is nothing short of unprofessional, from Ray Wilkins especially. He is one hell of a cunt. You would think they were both Liverpool fans commentating, Bolton rarely get a mention and for the slightest thing Liverpool players have praise heaped upon them. The usual Sky Sports guff but Ray Wilkins is unbearable imo.

Very saddened by this We've lost a tough character and an excellent player who wont be replaced. We'll suffer from this.

Is that Sky's fault, or the mismanagement from the Premier League? Could they have spread the Sky money out so it was more evenly distributed to stop continuously successful teams from breaking away financially? Would that have been fair? Its taken 20 years, but I think we're finally starting to see the issues the Premier League has caused to English football. Its become one of the most popular leagues, but has it helped the growth of English footballers? Has it helped the development of English clubs in general (from National to Grassroots)? Is anyone surprised or concerned that an English manager has yet to win the Premier League? Very true, I think responsibility must be distributed amongst the ruling parties of English football ie The FA, Premier League and Sky. It doesn't appear that there was any structure of coherence in the money given out by Sky to clubs- as you said its created a huge divide between clubs, not only divisions apart, but between clubs in the top division! It's been totally mismanged and I'm afraid that we've passed the point of no return in terms of financial debt and inequality, ticket prices, fan isolation/disillusionment and, as is becoming most evident, the neglect of youth/grassroots in the country. While we've been getting carried away with wreckless spending on consumed in short sighted ways, other nations in Europe such as Germany, Spain and the Netherlands have excelled in youth development and become much more advanced in playing styles and philosophies, which is all evident in their national teams and a stark absence in our national team.

Home tie would be nice. Anyone know when the next round will be played?

Sadly, fans are only really noticed if they don't turn up to games these days. Just my opinion, but I think Sky's input to football bears more negatives than positives. People will point to an influx of gifted foreign players, but competition and unpredictability has now almost been completely eliminated with the exception of a billionaire intervention.

I have not a clue, although hopefully its a striker of a high calibre and not someone like David N'Gog on loan. The bottom line is that this club should be striving to compete in Europe again, not sell all its best players and bring in mediocre replacements whilst languishing in lower mid-table with a wafer thin squad.

Scunthorpe fans have been incredible.

RYAN TAYLOR OVER THE WALL RYAN TAYLOR OVER THE WALL!!!!! YEEESSSSSSSS

I absolutely hate this.

So does watching this team
