As much of a fud WGS was at Celtic, he is still a die hard hibby and I want to see him doing well down there.

Mon the Brough! :agree:

[Phil MaGlass]

there's a Williams #25 playing, and a Williams #35 on the bench.

Can't really judge how #25's playing.

There's a Williams on the bench.. but he's 16

[Hibercelona]

Aye, right.

And I'm the Emperor of China. :bitchy:

He said his dream was always to play for the Hibees.

So even although he was a fud at Celtic, I still want him to do well down there.

I like seeing Scottish people doing well down in England. Fud or not.

[HibbyScott]

Your mate has just been booked aussie :greengrin

First time I've heard his name mentioned though, so not really able to answer how he's playing

That was a long time ago.

I doubt he has any love for the Cabbage these days.

Free-kick Boro - wonderful work by Harper. 1-0 still. :thumbsup:

[aussie_hibee]

rhys is number 25. Cheers anyway.

No GS is still a Hibs supporter, as are all his family. Far more so these days, now that he doesn't have to bother with Smeltic posturing.

Taylor handled the second shot at the free-kick.

Gordo's having no luck today.

"Gordon Strachan will not be a happy man" - commentary.

Gordon Strachan's never a happy man - he's always a sour-faced grumpy wee twonk. :devil:

Ah. Thanks, Bob. Still dinnae want Boro to win, though.

[Hibercelona]

Boro not playing half bad stuff. Just need a bit more in the final third. :agree:

:agree:

Keeper was absolutely shocking at the goal, though.


2-0 Ameobi. Jones in no-man's-land and very much at fault - playing like Simon Brown.

[--------]

Ewwwww! He's having an awful game.

First he kicks the ball against the Newcastle man - rebounds for a corner, could have beeen a goal. Then he's scrambling after a low cross looking hopeless. :bitchy:

Then he's all at sea at the goal....

[Hibbie_Cameron]

Excellent win:thumbsup:

[--------]

Excellent win:thumbsup:


Yup. They weren't on top form by any means, but they're way better than Middlesborough. Boro really need a decent goalie.

It's a pity Simon Brown had to change his name to Jones to get back into senior football..... :devil:

[jdships]

As a neutral I thought that was a shocker of a game !
Seen better on the "Links"
Even Alan Shearer agreed !
Newcastle were poor while 'Borough were abysmal !
Strachan has a job ob his hands there
Nice to see there are other teams with goalkeeping problems 'Borough's
No 1 , Jones, is a bomb scare !
Ref wasn't much better :wink:

49640 attendance a record for the Championship - some crowd :thumbsup:
Not many stayaways because it is Xmas or can't afford it :greengrin

The Championship's gone back in the last few years, IMO.

Watched the League Show last night - Forest had an excellent win over Preston (3-0 and deservedly so) but after the fairly extended highligths Billy davies was adamant that they aren't ready for the EPL by a long way.

IMO he's right - and I'd say that the football Forest were playing against PNE was a good bit better than that game at St James's. Sadly Forest can't look for crowds in the 50,000 bracket, which means Davies looks like yet again bringing a good footballing team up to the EPL without the resources to strengthen enough to give them a chance of staying up.

I'm on the train on the way back up the road. It wasn't much of a game.

Boro were dreadful. We didn't have to bring our 'A' game. The Championship is a lot poorer than I thought it would be.

[StevieC]

It wasn't a good game today .. Boro were dreadful and Newcastle barely needed to step up from 2nd gear.

Having said that, I thought that Newcastle were fairly comfortable defensively with Collocini showing great awareness and skill on the ball. There was a lot of inventive play down the wings (especially between Jonas and Enrique) and enough chances were created by Newcastle to allow them the luxury of missing a few.

Fantastic crowd for the game (although I've seen smaller teams than Boro bring more supporters this season than they did today) and it's starting to get a bit noisier at St James.
