Ballard might wish he had been sent off now.

An emphatic finish

Poor game but Newcastle deservedly ahead, Sunderland have created nothing.

 

[SSB]

Do the 6000 Newcastle fans that had to take a coach/bus to Sunderland for “their safety” have to get it back after the match also?

Elokobi's boys 1 up v Stevenage

Yeah I think they do. If it's the same as the mid/late 2000s "bubble trips" we had. Doesn't matter where you actually live.

Yep after all the blood and thunder of the first five minutes it's been pretty turgid stuff. You'd expect Newcastle to go and win this relatively comfortably now based on the first 40 minutes.

 

[Squeak]

How come some games have VAR and others don't? One standard for some teams and another for others? And you'd definitely think this was a fixture for VAR.

Yep a Burnley fan years ago who lived two streets from Ewood park had to drive to Turf Moor get the Coach back for the game then get on the coach after the game to Turf Moor to retrieve his car to drive all the way home. They lost as well.

It’s been poor as said but Newcastle just have a bit in the final 3rd.

Not set up at a Championship and lower Stadiums.
So they don't bother for 1 off games.

All PL teams at home will have VAR used though

Only have it if it's at a current PL ground. Something to do with the number of cameras that are set up.

Silly really as you could clearly install them at a ground like Sunderland that's easily PL quality but FA gonna FA.

 

[Jack Regan]

Yep VAR should be banned in the FA Cup as if they can't have it in all games they shouldn't have it at all.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Sunderland have been pretty rubbish.

 

[Jack Regan]

Sunderland have been pretty rubbish.

Nah! Not possible with integrity Bealer in charge.

 

[Kenny]

Sunderland fuck it up within a minute of the restart

 

[Jack Regan]

That's the end of that chapter.

 

[jd1981]

Right time to sort the garage out game over

 

[Dire Wolf]

Don't know what the fuss about Jobe is. I know he's young but he's been abysmal.

 

[Kenny]

Poor today but has been having a decent season.

 

[Dire Wolf]

He looks really slow, in thought and action.
