Hell of a strike from the Hibs lad, back in front. Good game.

I can recall both European exits, so aye, it remains strong, ha.

Christ, another goalkeeping error by the Hibs keeper, and it's all level on agg. Awful stuff.

Tie on at Easter Road as Partizan (boo) take the lead on the night against Hibs. Hibs now lead just 2-1 on agg. BBC Scotland.

Not looking great for Prudhoe, lost 1-4 at home to Ryton, who played about 35 mins with 10 men, and they've only won 3 matches since November 30th last year. A lot of Ryton fans there and 361 overall which was more than both Division 1 matches combined. Not sure if West Allotment groundshare and I know they've had a few issues recently, but they only had 68 there for their match.

Yeah, Prudhoe is the nearest NL team to me, and the 2 grounds are just over 2 miles apart, so it's good that they have a fixture that feels bigger and they can get more through the gate. Nice setting, but one hell of a slope, ha.

I was there on Boxing Day. Going with my brother and nephew who was a mascot 2 years ago in the 3-3 draw where they got over 400 (I wasn't at that one). Hopefully a decent crowd and the weather looks good. Neither side have set the world alight so far and I did think Prudhoe would struggle this season having been in poor form for most of 2025 and losing their manager in the summer, but hopefully a first win tonight!

I'm going to the big Tyne Valley derby tonight!

Hibs a goal up in Serbia against Partizan, who are also down to 10 men. Still bitter over those 2 ties, especially the CL one Dundee United 1-1 heading into half time. Actually, Rapid have just retaken the lead.

Am I missing something? Rapid Vienna finished 5/12 last season, with a +1 goal difference, behind the Austrian version of Wolfsberg. They are at home to Dundee United, who finished 4th in Scotland last season. It is live on BBC Scotland so I was thinking I'll watch that, should be a close, competitive tie, but you can get 11/1 on Dundee U at a few places to win on the night? Are DU missing a few players, is the Austrian League so much stronger than the Scottish league?

Fantastic win for Shelbourne in Croatia against Rijecka in the Europa League. Went 1-0 down, but turned it around in the second half to win 1-2. They were 12/1 at a lot of places to win on the night (pre match).

Former Newcastle hero just put Hearts 2-0 up with 20 to go, although it is currently being checked. Shankland had a cracker ruled out earlier.

Northern Alliance got underway at the weekend. Not the best of starts for Bedlington Terriers in their first match at step 7, lost 11-0 at Newcastle Independent. I think Independent have a bit of ambition and were one of not many clubs wanting promotion last season, and they play at Kingston Park, but there must still be massive problems at Bedlington.

Rangers now level in Athens, 1-1 against Panathinaikos, 3-1 up on agg. A former European Cup winner was knocked out earlier.

I was debating going to either Prudhoe on Friday or Newcastle Blue Star on Saturday, but didn't end up going to either. The first was 0-0 and the second 3-3. There's a vlog on the Prudhoe match. This similar account has more subscribers, but his content seems to be more Teesside orientated. https://www.youtube.com/@footballexplorer99

Yeah, the had 7 players with Germany, 3 with Sweden, Stanway, and then 1 with Norway and 1 with Italy, all who made the knockout stages of the Euros. The report does say that 15 players from the reserves were in the squad, and very few included in the line up(s) on the match report are on Bayern's wiki squad page. So on that basis, it's hard to tell if Newcastle were actually expected to win or not, and as others say, not a reflection of where they are, but good to get a win all the same.

Euro 2022? If so, it was the QF, and they were at home that tournament of course.

Getting embarrassing now, ha.

Noel Gallagher watching on.

Wow, didn't see that coming.

Get Carter, off...
