Scottish Mag 3 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 On the Celeb v Legends programme tonight it said that the celebs will play the Newcastle first team sometime this week. Considering the amount of injuries we have its not really clever to put our only fit players out against their Sunday league standard players... With our luck its a stick on someone will get crocked.

Optimistic Nut 9 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 (edited) Me being the complete prat I am, went up to the ground before thinking the actual match was today because the advert through the week said "The Match - October 2nd" Edited October 2, 2005 by Optimistic Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it did say they were to play our 'first team' Cant believe we'd risk whats left of our 'fit' players against unprofessionals who, in the heat of the moment are very likely to break someones leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 If thats true and they actually play our proper first team then everyone connected with our club should be shot with shit quite frankly. We get injuries in matches, we get them in training, we get them in pre-match warm ups and from internationals, do we really want to add games against celebs to tha list?

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I really don't see the point of this. If there is one club that should be doing its best to stay out of the showbiz/gossip pages and in the sports ones its ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yup. 6-0 from www.nufc.co.uk NEWS Celebrities Hit For Six! By Ian Willis NEWCASTLE boss Graeme Souness took his players across to the club's Academy this morning to take on the Celebrity team from Sky One's The Match. The Celebrities, managed by ex-England boss Graham Taylor, face a team of Legends on Sunday in front of a sell out crowd at St. James' Park. And they got the chance to play against some of the current players as Souness fitted a 15-minute each way game around his training session. Alan Shearer and Scott Parker were among the Newcastle players who watched from the sidelines, and it quickly became clear that their services wouldn't be required as United scored twice inside the first couple of minutes, with Martin Brittain firing past Jim Alexander and Shola Ameobi also finding the net. Ameobi then showed some neat footwork to slip past two or three challenges from the Celebrities before rolling the ball into the net from close range to make it 3-0 before the interval. Newcastle rang the changes for the second half, with Souness and coach Dean Saunders having a run-out alongside England cricket hero Steve Harmison, who has been keeping fit at United's training complex. Daryl Smylie scored twice in the second half, while Michael Chopra completed a 6-0 win with a neat chip over replacement goalkeeper Phil Tufnell. United: Harper (Caig), Gate, Edgar (Harmison), Ramage, Elliott, Brittain, Bowyer, Smylie, Clark (Souness), Ameobi (Saunders), Chopra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2227 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 6-0, acceptable or not? 42951[/snapback] I think 6-0 in 30mins is pretty acceptable. Shame Owen wasn't available, would have been nice to give them a royal tonking and leave them completely demoralised for Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 You can guarantee that the "celebs" were told not to tackle the "pros" and the "game" was just for the cameras. I like the idea of the Match, if I win next years Big Brother i'll definately take part in the Match III! Loved last year's half time show with all the page 3 models scantily clad, is the same planned this time round does anybody know? I'll have to get the Kleenex in.
