Shearergol 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Is MOTD on tonight For two premiership games, not featuring any of the big teams? Erm, no. Sky are showing highlights of the Premiership games now on Sky Sports 1, I think. Yep, we're on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 It was Babayaro's fault. Tosser. Although Emre was extremely weak in the tackle again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 great highlights from Sky must say even for a CL night!! pisses all over ITV piss take. Got to give Solano a lot of credit for the ball in, fantasticaly perfect! and his performance overall seemed brilliant. Tackling, Clearing, even heading away How Babayaro managed those two miskicks is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 31 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Dont care how shite he was, the booing of him was pathetic and embarrassing at a time the side needed a lift. Anyway, that aside, I wonder how that bird is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26811 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Martins didn't take much care when lifting it anyway, anyone got the RSPCB's number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 It was funny though (in hindsight), to see at one point, it was still 1-2 early in the second half... the crowd seemed to suddenly get going and starting singing, getting behind the team etc, and as soon as the ball was passed to Baba, everyone seemed to start booing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 A good game. I thought we played well for about 80 minutes and had a shite 10 mins when they scored twice. A very good fight back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 The funniest thing about the Babayaro booing was that for a moment those of us who were disgusted by it started applauding when he got the ball. Totally unwarranted but had to make a point to these bell ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Thoughts: Emre played well, I thought. Reading are just a quicker version of Bolton. When challenging for 50-50's they always made sure of hitting the Newcastle player - something Styles seemed to ignore The penalty looked a bit dubious to me. I couldn't look from the minute it was taken til the second Martin's scored it!! We could have had four in the first half - Sibbers missed a great chance with a header (not a shot, Oliver) straight at the keeper; Sibbers scored; Martins hit the bar with a header; Milner shot from just inside the box (I think it was just inside - he was at the Leazes, I was in the Gallowgate) with his left peg straight at the keeper. The booing of Babayaro was disgraceful imo. He seemed to be visibly wilting under the abuse - something which doesn't help any player at any time Yes, he was at fault for their second goal, but booing him was a shitty thing to do. Reading fans are just Cockney Mackems. The atmosphere was pretty good where I was - it usually is, once old big gob gets excited! Those that didn't take your scarf - shame on you.

MattM4 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 At the end of the highlight reel on Sky, you could see Pearson stopped Babayaro in his tracks as he was about to head down the tunnel, to have a word with him. Seemed like a good old arm around shoulder, don't let it get you down talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curry stained pilchard 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Got to say it was a canny exciting match overall... 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2! Booing of Babs was crap, he looked uninterested after that, confidence shot. However, he look liked that beforehand too... Was quite amused when the crowd wanted the game stopped because Kes was exhausted from doing a couple of laps. Then when the Reading keeper tried to pick it up, it managed a few meters then crash landed, the response from the crowd was if we'd missed a penalty! Then Martins dealt with the situation and got a round of applause! I love shit like that! Hope Kes is ok though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 A Happy Ending For The Magpies - And The Woodcock! THERE were plenty of talking points on an eventful evening at St. James' Park when Newcastle United defeated Reading 3-2 ... Not least what happened to the bird that crashed into the Gallowgate turf midway through the first half? Many in the crowd were temporarily distracted by the sight of the low-flying creature, later identified as a woodcock, as it circled around the players' heads in the early stages of the game. And when it dropped to the grass seemingly motionless, fans were quick to bring the matter to referee Rob Styles' attention, who promptly stopped play. A couple of aborted attempts at flying off failed, before the bird was given a helping hand by Obafemi Martins, as it was picked up and cradled by the striker before being taken off the pitch. Now nufc.co.uk can reveal that our feathered friend had recovered from its fright by the time it was later released in Leazes Park by a member of staff, and was last seen flying off into the bushes without any sign of distress - making it a happy ending for both the woodcock and the Magpies on the night!

Happy Face 29 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 "coloured"? Is that term assetable in this day and age? better than "black bastard" I presume ?? Yes, but I'm reminded of My dad, for example, he's not as cosmopolitan or as educated as me and it can be embarrasing you know. He doesn't understand all the new trendy words - like he'll say "poofs" instead of "gays", "birds" instead of "women", "darkies" instead of "coloureds".

What type of goal was it? A woodcock turned up, did a bit of flying about, and clearly knackered itself. It landed on the pitch a couple of times and tried to fly off but just sort of plopped back down looking wrecked. Martins ran over and picked it up and ran off to hand it to someone to take off the pitch. Apparently it was later released in Leazes Park and was fine. Ahhhhhhhh.

Gemmill 35539 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Oh and Emre's goal - he picked the ball up on the halfway line, ran into pretty much empty space for a bit, knocked it round one of their defenders onto his left foot and wellied a blinding dipping shot into the roof of the net from about 22 yards or so. It looked to pretty much go through their keepers hand, but I think it was probably the dip that caught him out. Class though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
