Great win on the road for Alnwick yesterday at league leaders Redcar Town, finished 2-3 after coming from one down to lead by two. Clinging on by the end, reserve keeper brought on to play up front, ref played about an hour of injury time. Every once in a while a Northern League game gives you pretty much all the entertainment and drama of a Premier League game and this was one of those. Penalties, denied penalties, own goals, scuffed chances, the lot. Fucking brilliant

And his eyes. Well, his eyeballs only teeth and eyeballs from a 6000x4000 image, rest of it is 480x640. should have just run it through grok and told it to make him beautiful

Trying the camera at bottom of the league Blyth Town vs top of the league Redcar Athletic. Not much of a spectacle so far, standard is not hugely better than Northern League but officiating is night and day better. I honestly don't know what non league clubs did before Sam Fender and Gerry Cinnamon were a thing

Maybe a tick box somewhere with the question "do you demand a team that wins?"

I'm not all in on the Gordon Is A Disgrace And Must Be Sold line but I swear to god he must spend 80% of his training time practicing this move in particular, and I wish he'd stop it

I listened to the first 20 minutes on the radio and it sounded pretty good to me. My lass came in and put the telly on instead and it immediately sounded much, much worse As you say, this is an elite level football problem, not a Newcastle problem particularly, and is the inevitable outcome when the game is flooded with money but has to raise prices to compensate imo

don't do it to yourself man

City are such a joyless niggly fucking horrible team these days

That rolling

He got a yellow because he let himself get wound up, again, and pushed his man. They just go in on him knowing he'll react and get booked, and he reacts and gets booked

Sounds class at the minute tbf, Eddie Howe Black And White Army for a minute or two. Sounds good on radio anyway

Anybody got any hot tips for a game that might survive the weather today? I've been waiting a week and a half to try my new camera and the Northern League is looking grim again

They've done fine, I just keep hearing iTs bEcAuSe pLaYeRs aRe aWaY like they didn't know this would happen, like it's an inconvenience that no other club would suffer, like it's not just what happens when you sign African national players

I'm getting fed up of hearing about the AFCON thing like, it's not like they didn't know those players would be going when they signed them. It's not the same as, for example, unexpectedly losing a centre half to a punctured lung following a horror tackle. If you knowingly sign players who are going to be unavailable for the busiest part of your annual calendar then it's on you to make up for their absence, not just bemoan the fact they're not there. This is part of the game

Haven't won since they beyt us, have they? Season objective complete, foot off the gas, one win in eight

Exactly that ianw have to turn at least bits of it back into the sort of place people who don't want to be part of it, don't want to go to Season tickets for the more refined and cultured types on level 7, open up more of the lower ground to general sale as a result, put the away fans pitchside, stop being so fucking cosy, and I reckon things have a chance of becoming more consistently like the last 15 minutes last night. Can't see it happening like

I reckon that translates to "get someone signed kidda"

Winning goal with Ando and Raisbeck was not far off Justin Lockwood Tiote territory

fucking hell

BBC saying ankle

Aye absolutely I remember it well

Everybody is welcome, but that's why there's no atmosphere any more

Aye that'd work I think

I was passing by at about 2, couldn't believe the number of picture perfect wives and kids going in these days. I have nothing against picture perfect wives and kids, I've got one of each living here, but I just can't imagine they were making a lot of noise like. There has to be a way to stop people like that from wanting to go. Fucking off the wank DJ with his cosy tunes would be a start maybe

For a couple of seconds only, they've equalised
