Eh? Some fans clapped Minteh off? I could understand it in Anderson’s case when we played Forest. Didn’t join in but I get it. For Minteh though, that’s madness

Minteh didn't even celebrate his goal fyi. 

 

Someone said he might have not celebrated in apology to their fans for giving away the penalty. Guess he'd need to clarify it himself

You can say that again.

He scored in front of the Gallowgate though, so would be a weird apology to hold hands up in front of Toon supporters but what you've said does make a lot of sense too.

Yeah, I thought that’s what I was hearing too. Crazy.

After his non celebration, I think it's kind of acceptable. (Im not buying the version where he didn't celebrate because he gave a pen away)

 

I feel the celebration was him showing he'd have liked to have stayed and played for us, but instead left without fuss, which in long run will help the club. It's a nice show of appreciation for that, if you ask me. x

Avoided any Newcastle crack today. Still can't be arsed.

 

Need a squad overhaul in the summer. Need to get shot of quite a few to take steps forward.

I don’t really care that much either way but I find it odd clapping a player who never played for us. Don’t want to see him booed which fans often do with former players but also would never dream of clapping a player who never played for us 

[Kanj]

his sale saved our skin

[Rich]

I thought hearing/seeing people clapping Anderson taking a corner that subsequently led to a goal for the opposition was the most bewildered I’d feel at SJP this season. Then people clapped off Minteh after he’d scored against us.

I totally, but even not playing for us he saved us a points deduction by leaving when asked. Some of the playing squad havent done anything to earn us points this season.

Honestly I'm more annoyed by him not celebrating in the first place. Lad spent ten minutes here and never wore the shirt once.

[The College Dropout]

Most gutting game since PSG. Probably worse actually. PSG I had righteous anger. This.. more reminiscent of Sporting in the UEFA Cup.

Away facilities are supposed to be shite.

You should see the Spurs stadium. Seriously, the tour is mental - coming from somebody who as a kid used to train in the ball court behind the West Stand. They kept the home and away dressing rooms fairly similar so it would be better balanced for European finals etc.

I travelled up and stayed in Jesmond, only to be let down for ticket that was promised. Watched in a pub that I used to know; that was completely different and (perhaps) unsurprisingly had a completely different crowd/nobody I knew. Then the game. Thoroughly miserable experience. 

good question. There must be others, but not many. Alun Armstrong and Gary Caldwell are first former players that never played, but made it at top level, to come to mind. Don’t think they scored at SJP though 

[The Prophet]

Last sixteen wasn't deep enough in the tournament for me to be triggered by it, but it was gutting no doubt.

 

Would quite like to see Bournemouth go the distance.
