BlueStar Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Our kids were the underdogs, but usually in cup competitions being the underdogs comes with certain perks which make upsets more likely. The favourites may be complacent, field a weakened team, not genuinely want to progress, they may have a more important match on their mind, their support may be disinterested or simply not turn up. In this case, our kids were the underdogs but none of this applied, because it was one of the most important games of their season and one they absolutely couldn't lose even if they have no interest in the competition.

triggs Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Only saw the first half but for a kids team its much better for their development to actually have a go like they did than sit back and try to nick something. The coach seems to be doing a good job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Anyone know what the average ages were last night for both sides? Not sure but I’d love to see the total senior appearances in each XI. One thing I’m seeing from them is it was their 17 year old kid who was the best player anyway. Must be easier to stand out like that when you have senior players like Ruiter, Ozturk, Maguire, McGeoch & Wyke around you who are just physically bigger & have more experience regardless of ability, than any of our team last night.

Benwell Lad Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Looks like he ate an U23 on the way through to goal. :lol: The same player has now said in an interview that he helped give "bragging rights" to the Sunderland fans When their first team sunk to a level where they have to compete with big clubs' junior sides bragging rights were probably lost forever.

The cheesy chip head player got a weirdly great cheer when he scored, it was a total piss take for 90mins of them. They just couldn’t see it though, funny as fuck watching them squirm the whole match. McGuire got a good round of “who the fucking hell are you “ after his little meltdown. Let them get to Wembley, it may take their eyes off the job in hand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 No Sorensen (Though this is apparently just because international duty) Sangare didn't play and Roberts wasn't in the squad. Wouldn't be surprised to see the latter involved tommorow, he's probably earned it this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but it's being reported that Beardsley and NUFC are setting to part company after lawyers are brought in to negotiate his exit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-6658963/Newcastle-set-confirm-departure-former-U23-coach-Peter-Beardsley.html The club and Beardsley's lawyers have been negotiating the terms of his departure and a statement is expected once an agreement has been reached. Several academy players have made claims against the club's former Under 23 coach. Last year, an independent appeal found that Beardsley had made discriminatory comments and that his treatment of one player, Yasin Ben El-Mhanni, was 'generally unfair'. It is now approaching 13 months since Beardsley was suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. Some of those who gave evidence against Beardsley have since left the club, but they have still been frustrated by the lack of progress. There has also been concern among those involved that neither the Premier League nor Football Association have intervened. Beardsley's role has been filled by Ben Dawson, with former Newcastle goalkeeper Steve Harper acting as assistant. First-team boss Rafa Benitez said in August that he would like to see the matter 'sorted out' but has since been barred from talking about the case. Newcastle declined to comment. Beardsley denies the allegations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
