Barcodes v Deckchairs - It’ll all end in tears

Nevermind the poor quality of football they need to talk about the crowd noise some more

I'm sure the broadcaster will have the microphones turned down but the atmosphere isn't good, in fact I would say it was poor for the game it's been billed to be.

It could be worse, you could be listening to Steve Mcmanaman talk about the crowd noise on ESPN, all while commentating from a remote location (it sounds like)

Always the same industrial level of hyperbole from the media surrounding such serial underachievers. It’s sick making.

All this rolling around screaming from the Newcastle players is a bit much, they have maybe not realised there's no VAR so they don't get marks for artistic impression?

Sunderland looking dog shît so far

Give over, the crowd are delivering 100% of the entertainment so far

They're an Eddie Howe team, so it's pretty much mandatory.

I wonder if ITV will show the replay. At the moment, I can't see anyone scoring.

I think they look alright, there's that quality gap that is difficult to bridge.

How many hundreds of mill have Newcastle spent on their squad? Must be at least 10 times the Mackem's spend I would guess?

We have a similar challenge in a bit and then twice more in the league cup, I am a bit nervous about it really.

***** match and ***** atmosphere so far.

 

[TeaCider]

That's a stonewall penalty and red card for me.

No idea how McCoist can say that's good defending, he just drags him down and gets nowhere near the ball.

 

[Boro_Interlinked]

Get in,, now we have a highlight for the half time highlights discussion

 

[Teesste]

Isn’t that a carbon copy of what Dael Fry got sent off for last season!?!

 

[dooderooni]

It's another televised FA Cup game where chance creation is dire. I know you never expect local derbies to be an exhibition, but this is just like Palace Vs Everton with the volume turned up to make up for the lack of quality.

 

[Robbieboro]

What is Ally McCoist on about ?? Top class defending. Foul and red card for me

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Own Goal

 

[LaPennaBianca]

That Ballard is an absolute lump

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

It's been coming.

The gulf in class between the two teams is massive.

 

[The Disciple]

An own goal to add icing to the cake
