I went to the Newcastle - Rochdale FA Cup replay, ticket prices £10 adult, £5 for concessions.
Attendance 31,000 - prices matter as Newcastle widened its fan base.
A pity the Dale didn't turn up on the pitch though 2,500 travelled to SJP

They are all an improvement on grandad Corbyn who should now retire to his allotment. Labour was tactically and strategically inept, fighting a no-win Election on Boris's terms and at his timing. They could have let him swing for a few months more, leading to further Tory disagreement and infighting...

CleggHall

I doubt that there have ever been a higher set of marks?
McNeil with average of 8.15 is the lowest.
Marks are well deserved on an evening those who were there will always remember.

CleggHall

S Africa now look a very poor, demoralised side, on their knees. All credit to Root and his men particularly Wood who continues to defy his injury problems, also the new test batsmen.
Good times ahead I hope.

CleggHall

Sad to hear the crowd getting on Brady's back, makes a change from Hendrick.
Don't we like the Irish?!

CleggHall

Hope you are getting better ty, welcome back!

CleggHall

Yes looks like a 1 horse race, Dyche also highlighted Westwood but this is not reflected in player ratings so far

CleggHall

Buttler out slogging again,irresponsible, not a test cricketer?

CleggHall

Stokes got in a slanging match with a fan as he left the field, bad language he could be in trouble.

CleggHall

Don't forget to repeatedly say " t' FA Cup not t' competition it was when I were a lad, I were at Wembley i' 62"

CleggHall

A great report, Tony has "a way with words" and this report will be revisited for years to come.

Was the "fire drill" a false alarm?

Keane and Everton seem to have steadied their particular ship but United have a long, long way to go.

Keane only on the bench at Everton, they missed him in the last couple of minutes v Newcastle!

CleggHall

Thanks Blue, memory not what it should be!

CleggHall

I think I was there in 1962 when we won 5-2, hazy recall but I think Harris scored a couple.

CleggHall

"the lack of movement was awful"- nothing wrong with Westwood's lack of movement me thinks!?

CleggHall

Leighton James played sweeper (badly) at Hartlepool several years ago. Think what progress we have made.

CleggHall

Referee Taylor made several incorrect decisions, fell for Maddison's and Barnes' theatrical falling overs when never touched, likewise Schmeichel in the 1st half, yet let Cork foul go in the build up to their goal.
Did we really commit 14 fouls?

CleggHall

Puts our 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in perspective, Newcastle restricted Chelsea chances despite possession deficit.

CleggHall

Extra bacon, eggs and black pudding for Dave Thomas!
He sure likes his breakfasts.
Get Bernard Matthews on the case.

CleggHall

Mondsley - Pepper, Gilchrist, Depeiza and "your own" Mike Whitney at Littleboro come to mind!
Any others?

Rababa banned from the final test apparently

A bit harsh?
An over- exuberant celebration of clean bowling Root.

CleggHall

A gutsy report with a brave ending.

VAR will seldom be used to overrule/change a marginal, dodgy decision by the match officials. This happened 3 times to us in the 1st half hence the bitter taste in the mouth but, as you say, we contributed with our 2 major mistakes too.

CleggHall

Howe and his mate Jason in real trouble, look a bit clueless, a bit like us!?

CleggHall

Has had a very decent career which has lasted a good number of years, one of Scotland's better players of recent times.

CleggHall

A bit of an over-reaction by the Guardian, had we beaten Aston Villa all would have beeen well. A couple of victories and we will be back on course for mid-table.

CleggHall

An excellent book, readable, fair and well researched with sources listed. I was never a Bob Lord fan but the book nearly made me change my mind and I even felt sorry for him towards the end. Selling McIlroy and Dobson were major turning points but th'owd butcher made his contributions to the club i...

CleggHall

Is lucky to be getting another chance at a PL club but does he really want to be a professional footballer?

CleggHall

Stokes taking the game away from S Africa, a quick 50 not out off 40 balls, Sibley a maiden century.

CleggHall

England playing test match cricket for a change, resolute batting and yet again Anderson picks up a five for!
A remarkable comeback, Jimmy oozes class, resolve and dedication.

CleggHall

Agree with all the above comments but wouldn't be surprised if Oliver is rebuked for using his initiative!

CleggHall

Toney had 2/3 years at Newcastle but didn't make the grade there.

CleggHall

Sounds a good experience for all concerned, long may it continue ....all the way to Wembley.

CleggHall

Pay yer taxes man!

CleggHall

Hendrick is worth a try at right back, better bet than the two we've got?

CleggHall

His equaliser in the 3 all draw at St James Park wasn't bad either!

CleggHall

Yes saw him many times, a crowd favourite in the championship winning side 59/60.
Possibly on the light side for a centre forward but scored goals in a forward line full of 'em.

CleggHall

17 shots so far, 0 on target according to BBC, it says it all!

CleggHall

A provocative if thought-provoking opening post which asks the main questions. From afar in Newcastle, Corbyn with all his baggage was the main problem, manifesto was 80% OK but announcing many other uncosted proposals daily was idiotic, referendum vote needed to be respected and accepted in places ...

CleggHall

Vegan beer is cloudy and horrible!

CleggHall

VAR is undermining our referees including Martin Atkinson, Michael Oliver and Dean who are amongst the best. They have lost self-confidence and decisiveness this season as a consequence of VAR's introduction and the fear of being constantly over-ruled

CleggHall

Where's it been?!

CleggHall

Another test match drubbing, all over once Stokes and Root were out.

Why put S Africa in when winning the toss?
Bairstow should be sent back to Yorkshire for a long time.
Can we not find any spin/slow bowler?

McNeil committed a foul but then launched a tirade of abuse at the AR ---gets cautioned ---nothing new at all, even in these modern times!

Yes a bit stupid, McNeil has a bit of growing up to do!

CleggHall

The inability of this team to play test match innings is nearly beyond belief and Bairstow who averages 19 in his last 10 tests continues to get selected!

CleggHall

It's heartening to hear of your support for the Foodbank but little other Boxing Day joy!

CleggHall

Whatever the outcome/consensus, another new topic for this board which knows no bounds, long may it continue.

CleggHall

Yes plants/crops require nutrients and water to grow. The main nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash (N, P, K) are taken up from the soil which are then replenished either by artificial inorganic fertilisers or organically via animal manure and composts. Only the latter, non-animal based, nut...

CleggHall

18.07 back leaves plenty of time to walk to the station after the match and celebrate in The Victoria Comet opposite the station. The station bar The Centurion is OK too with good choice of real ales.

CleggHall

Friend has gone off these last 3-4 seasons according to many Boro supporters.

CleggHall

Yes a nice tribute Tony, a truly great player.
