Is anybody watching Newcastle?
Please give me a link

You can listen to it on the journal website
Sounds like we’re being outplayed at the moment. For some reason Baheng is being played out wide which is worrying – seems like a smooth tranfer of inept premiership to inept friendly

baro…
vuckic isn’t playing because he is preparing for U-19 European Championships. It is the first time Slovenia has qualified and vuckic was called to play for the u-19 squad although he is just 16. I’m not sure where Inman is though. I alsowonder where is Shane Ferguson…
28 baro // Jul 11, 2009 at 4:42 PM
Ferguson is also preparing for the europian u-19 championships

I always thought you cannot bring a player back on the pitch once he is taken off the pitch…or was I mistaken?
45 baro // Jul 11, 2009 at 4:58 PM
On friendlies you can put a player off and than back on its not cheating that is just how its been for an long time in friendlies

Hi lads tonight i’m going to Paris coincidently (might see you Ed
) so i wont be commenting for a while
I have been out all day and have returned to find the mighty Toon Army winning 3-0 against the rovers which is very happy new but i have a few questions
1st of all Who captained the side?
secondly about this Nile Ranger goal, was it or not? I’ve heard all sorts, it was Danquas goal, Nile Ranger went off, clear goal, Ranger came on and then off!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED!?
Much appreciated
