Chant for Hwang brainistorming idea...

Hwang Hee-Chan is coming to town

Bear is taking some shit here

Where?

Just a bit on Kilman as well. I wasn't really convinced on his ability to play at this level. However he has been consistently our best defender, very good again today. Happy he's proven me to know sod all.

Been very impressed with him to be honest. Makes up for his lack of pace with his reading of the game.

 

[Carsy]

Missed the game as was out, 3 points and hwang and Raul look like a good partnership. 2 great assists from Raul

 

[Paul]

He has been good, apart from just leaving Joelinton free to run into the box just before they scored, if we can cope with his one brain fart a game. he'll be a good squad player

“Hwang Hee-Chan My Lord, Hwang Hee-Chan”

Would be great after he’s bagged two against the Villa. Rip off their Paul McGrath song.

If he’s just a ‘squad player’, would you say we need 2 (3 if we’re playing 3cbs) new centre halves ?

Yes, yes I would, if we have any aspirations to progress, even Boly needs replacing if he carries on last seasons sub par performances (I can say that as Kenny is rarely around anymore )

Im just savouring our great win, i didnt realize we hadnt beaten them at Molinuex since 2003 though. This was a bright spot on a shitty day, and Potato Head still cant accept that we won. Its Bye Bye Brucey.

That’s fine an totally agree. For a mid table team I’m more than happy with him, but if you want to be ‘best of the rest’ there’s a few that need upgrading

On that, what's happened to Kenny? and Langers and a few others, I miss the more level headed posters on here.
P.S....hope they're all ok

 

[Tony Towner]

Langers is doing a 15 stretch for the cold blooded butchering of a solicitor

I know Kenny went on holiday a while back (the bloke does have more holidays than a schoolteacher)

 

[AndyWolves]

From the Korean commentary it seemed that Hwang is pronounced "hang" - is that right or do I need my ears cleaning?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

All the three wins have been a bit disjointed but ultimately we deserved to win two of them and a bit of magic won the other one. They're all teams we should be finishing above on the evidence so far and it's good to get the bread and butter stuff done, it's important to us. Despite the fact that we regressed to just defending the box in the last 20 minutes I never really felt threatened in any way - but then Newcastle are shit with a seriously shit manager. How on earth did Joelinton play the entire 90 minutes FFS.

Sa needs to get up and protect the goal after the clash, he wasn't injured at all, don't gamble that the ref will bail you out. Good save second half mind. Neves also at fault on the goal as he knew Sa was down (playacting or not) and had the opportunity to just lamp it out of play the way he was facing. Hwang was fantastic - not just the goals, at least one of which was vastly aided by Darlow - and his link up with Raul is extremely positive, we haven't had that with anyone since Jota left. A poor game for Trincao who was on at least 20 minutes too long, strange one really given the amount of options we had, he could either have made the same change that he did or bring one of Podence or Adama on. Not that it mattered, but he wasn't getting anything right and not contributing anything defensively either (not that I particularly expect him to).

Some truly stinking banter from the South Bank, "one Mike Ashley", really?! And the spanners singing "we've got Jackie Chan" on the way back into town can get in the sea.

'Ref was a shambles all game. Newcastle taking a free kick for offside 10 yards inside our half a particular lowlight.'

Totally agree that it looks terrible and is against everything 'we've' always known, but he was actually correct.

Blame the law meddlers who changed it about five years ago. He was offside in their half when the ball was played forward but only became active and conceeded the free kick when he came towards the ball some yards into our half. Stupid law says the offence is when he's active not where he was when the ball was played.
Ironically when giving offsides going towards goal, they draw the lines and give free kicks where the striker was when the ball was played, not where he became 'active'.

He did have a poor game though and joins the list of refs that guess and give decisions based on what they think has happened rather than what has actually happened. I know the games quick now but so often they fall for obvious gamesmanship and don't ever use their useless linesman to help out on free kicks under their noses. This is normally their directive.

Thanks for that, didn't know it......but fuck me it's a ridiculous law

Agree with all this. On the Sa incident, while I agree he wasn't hurt (how often are they?) but are the players not told to stay down when their head is contacted in a challenge?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

There wasn't any contact with his head. Maybe a bit with his shoulder. Wasn't a foul anyway and he obviously could get up, because he did eventually. Too late though.

If he isn't busy being a dick then they don't score as there's no way Hendrick would have taken the shot on.
