Might be something, might be nothing, but strange how DHGate has had pretty much the same selection of Adidas snides for a few years now. Then suddenly, since we're getting Adidas kits again next season, and then a video appears with some players wearing and surrounded by older Adidas replicas, and then recently more/different shirts start appearing on DHGate. Almost like the materials/fabrics may / could be back in production?

Seems the amount was raised through GoFundMe https://www.gofundme.com/f/full-stadium-display-newcastle-h A bit of a write up about it on The Mag, too... https://www.themag.co.uk/2024/01/newcastle-united-fans-interesting-bystanders-as-sunderland-fans-question-own-flag-display/

Sorry if already posted, but their fans display group appears to have literally taken the money and run... accounts across all SM platforms gone.

Mark Clattenberg sounds exactly like Michael the Geordie

Difficult to look past Pope, as he kept us in it, and almost got a hand to the pella, but thought Livramento was excellent again.

Yep, all match they made a thing of commenting how he'd referee's a world cup final, and generally he had done ok. So even when he went to the monitor, I hoped he migth stick with the on field decision. But then, the angle the VAR seemed to show him was from the left hand side, which does make it look worse than it was, whereas the view from the opposite side shows it clearly hitting chest then onto elbow. Said it last night, would have taken a draw beforehand, but its the manner of the draw that stings.

Saw the back pages round up (repeated from last night) on Sky Sports News this morning, and even that Miguel Delaney was saying how bad a decision it was, and heow we were robbed of a result. Though he did still manage to slip in a 'regardless of their ownership'.

Ah man, such a sickener so late. Probably repeating what others have said, but yes, would have taken a point pre-match, and despite being under the cosh all 2nd half, to then have *that* penalty given against us, 6mins into the added time, is just a bit shit. Well played to all the lads out there tonight. Unfair to single some out, but Pope, Miley and Tino stand outs for me. Yes we rode our luck at times, but we were also holding on, until the ref stepped in. Just hope for the best on th efinal match day. Hope we can beat Milan, and see how the other results go.

You can get a DHgate special with Blue Star, and club shop sells the score draw version with Blue Star but without the Asics badge.

Yeah, looking at the table, it puts then 19th, on 4 pts. But they are only 5 or 6 pts from safety, so they'll probably recover and stay up again.

Club shop/webiste has the Score Draw version, with Greenalls sponsor, but without the Umbro badge https://shop.nufc.co.uk/products/newcastle-united-1990-shirt?variant=41045858779290

And not even centre backs... a pair of full backs playing there!

WILLOCKINHO!!!!!!

@wormy @Joey This was the listing (if it works)... https://www.dhgate.com/product/retro-newcastle-soccer-jerseys-94-95-96-97/855796264.html?dspm=pcen.orderlistpage.astab.1.bekr6IaJSbNik65vJZvl&resource_id= The seller was: 'football_shirt', and they also Whatsapp'd on despatch too, which was a first from any seller I've experineced on DHGate.

So, this has just been shoved through my letterbox, and I'm over the moon with it. https://imgur.com/a/Lvx3Haj The stitching and embroidery is pretty good, the brown ale logo itself is soft, and embroidered, not hard and stiff like it is on the 'Entertainers' home shirt. But crucially, this 'XXL' actually fits me, well, it'll be a nicer fit once I shift a little more timber, but just tried the Entertainers 'XXL' and still cant get that on. So the sizing on this is closer to UK. Really pleased with it for roughly £17 delivered, and didn't take too long either, from DHGate (ordered 14/10).

Just seen that on Sky, and his comments just before were saying we didn't have many attacking options on the bench. So I'm guessing if he was to introduce Liv and/or Hall, then they wouldn't be replacing like for like players (Tripps and Burn), and would be played further forward which may not be their natural positions. But, I'm guessing. Kind of agree with comments made earlier, if we want to play Tripps in the CL games, then we need to rest him in the next PL match and start giving Livramento a go. Similarly with Burn, if he is Howes first choice LB, then following league game, play Targett or start trying Hall.

Minutes silence in the next round of matches for Neto's hamstring. Some overreaction to a fairly routine injury, like.

Cheers for this. Its my sons birthday next month and he likes the 3rd shirt (blue) so have ordered one from Kitbag.

Great watch that video, talking with Steve Watson and Lee Clark, and enjoy watching these kit videos Buglass has done. Agree with comments above. Home one is ok, but few little things I'd change (no white name panel, stripes on back down to the hem, no need for lower white panel too). But the away and third kits. The away kits, I'd have the white stripes fully down the sleeve, not just on the shoulder though, but that was the only quibble with that one. But that 3rd kit with the trefoil and the tape down the sleeve is just Love the idea of using the different crests on the differetn shirts too. As nice as this was, and I'd love Adidas to take some ideas from it, I suspect the new kits will be all but designed already. But would love to see some NUFC/Adidas leisurewear with the trefoil on though.

(obviously posted last night)

Yeah, I have seen examples, like above, where the crest has the thicker white stripes, but have also seen pics (including pretty much all the player shirts) where the stripes are uniform widths. It always struck me that the stripes should be equal widths on the shield, and maybe it was more the exception to have the odd stripes, but that seems to be what the DHGate sellers have copied for all those shirts. It's just a little thing, but always annoyed me, and assumed it made the fakes of those shirts stand out.

Gone for one of these off DHGate, and in a first of any orders from there, got a WhatsApp message from the seller, saying it was being despatched, with the photo below. Gone for the biggest they had, XXL, but it'll probably be another 'snug' fit, until I shift some timber. Interesting though, the crest looks OK, unlike the Entertainers ones which all seem to have the wider white stripes with narrow mid stripe on it.

All Goalkeeper kits finally for sale... https://shop.nufc.co.uk/collections/23-24-goalkeeper?variation=B&utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Goalkeeper Kits 13%2F10%2F2023&_kx=BimOEGfPCvfhxqtWDuE-7JQvdLisZ5JFrWzA0lrefas%3D.WSF9gB

I guess any punishment, if he's found guilty will depend on the extent and number of bets, and how long its been going on for. Trippier - seemingly one text to his mates to 'lump on' his tranfser to Athletico = fine + 10 week worldwide ban (implemented by The FA). Toney - over 200 charges of bets made = fine + 8 month worldwide ban. I would think the rules on betting would be the same across all FIFA leagues and competitions. So even if this was all done during his time in Italy and prior to joining us, then any ban would still be worldwide.
