Match Thread | Newport vs Man City (16/02/19)

Fucking hell that was a shocking 45 mins of commentary from BT, Darke and Hartson have plumned new depths of utter fuckwittery, oh and two deffo Pens one for shirt pulling and the hand ball, no mention of the forearm smash off the ball on Sane as well

There was, hartintgdon (if he can get names wrong so can I) said Sane ‘ran into the player’

I'm listening to R5 with Kilbane and another BBC 'lifer' commentating. Kilbane has finished with "This is exactly what you want from a cup tie!" Same old tired, cliche-ridden claptrap from the BBC. Had we got either of the pens for a 1-0 HT lead he would no doubt be musing over what Newport had to do to get back in the game! I don't know how long we have to put up with the fuckin' licence fee - £150 a year for this shite!

We should be pissing all over these regardless of the pitch. We need to step it up

I don't think we've been that bad considering the pitch and the fact that we're being constantly fouled on and off the ball without getting anything from Marriner.

To many moaning fuckers on this forum who reckon we should play scintillating football and score six every game, was always going to be a tricky game on a shitpitch with poor officiating, in Pep we trust

Why the fuck have they got Saunders there

 

[bluemoon32]

Why do you think they rely on long balls and throw ins!?

Maybe we should be a little more direct

@lazza10 Was going to say the same.

They aren’t actually “playing” on the same pitch as us.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Thank fuck for Paul Dikov.

We aren't used to big teams that play like this,apparantly

Two clear penalties waved away and an incorrect offside to boot. It's a cup tie, alright. You could say we deserve to be 2-0 up but, at the same time, Newport have probably caused more trouble in our penalty area more than we have in theirs. We'll either break them down and win 4-0 or we'll concede to a mistake from one their set-piece routines.

I’m thinking of more important comps I’d rather Sane was fresh for. Plus Sane has been poor too.

Neither of them look like doing it for us tonight - although Sane did hit the upright with his effort.
Suspect Pep will be reminding them of last season at half time.
We've not been awful - just wasteful for me
