Newcastle vs West Brom

[Sylar]

Just about to start on SS1 - 1st vs 2nd in the Championship, with both teams playing very well just now.

Should be a cracker, which means it'll probably finish 0-0...

Newcastle 0-1 West Brom - Olsson

As an aside, it's nice to see West Brom have removed their sponsor for this game and are drawing awareness to the Haiti disaster fund instead.

Seems to be more and more of a thing with clubs (I noticed the breast cancer awareness symbols both Edinburgh clubs were sporting during the last derby).

Great move :agree:

I don't think WBA normally have a shirt sponsor do they?

I think it was awarness of domestic violence rather than Breast cancer. I maybe well off the mark though so appologies in advance.

Cracking game by the way.

Different one each week. They gave up the space this week to dec instead of a sponsor.

I know the police were sending texts to all fans entering the ground, but I'm sure the wee breast cancer logo was above the respective club badges?

Unless there's a similar symbol used for domestic violence (I genuinely don't know?).

Now Newcastle 2-2 West Brom - Peter Lovenkrands

Maka would've saved that.

[MWHIBBIES]

Maka would've saved that.Na he would have came out and flapped at it.

[Just Jimmy]

how was that not a straight red? shocking challenge. Nolan was sent of for one similar earlier in the season.

Two solid penalty shouts as well, ref has been pish. (I'm biased :wink:)

They were white ribbons at the derby which are used for domestic violence

Ah right. Cheers! :thumbsup:

[Danderhall Hibs]

What damage can a ribbon do to anyone? They'd barely mark the skin.

[Sylar]

Jose Enrique - dirty diving ******* - he tripped himself up, then gestured for a booking, which undeservedly followed.

I'm biased too :wink:

[Sylar]

What.A.Miss...

[Sylar]

Another decent shout for a penalty in injury time for Newcastle.

Kevin Nolan should have walked for that kick there - malicious, pre-meditated, and utterly no attempt to play the ball.

Full Time: Newcastle 2-2 West Brom

[hibsboy90]

What a game, great advert for championship football. West Brom will feel aggrieved for not holding onto their leads, but Newcastle were the better side IMO.

WBA were lucky to still have 11 on the park come full time, but nolan came close to red also.

Newcastle could probably have had at least a few penalties, and looked like they would seal it late on when Guthierrez made a surging run in injury time. Also, Lovenkrands offside decision was VERY poor, at least a yard on, and with his current form, would have hit the back of the net.

[Hibbie_Cameron]

Should have had a couple of pens :grr:

How noone got sent off in that game ill never know. Get pretty close up the top now

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Fantastic game of football.

Not long back from the game and this one could have swung either way. Thought Newcastle should have been awarded a pen in the dying minutes.

On a side note, good noise from the Newcastle fans and I'm sure the boys behind us were also Hibs fans as they kept looking out for the updates of the Edinburgh City v Montrose match.

Didnt see it all however thought WBA were the better team by a way. How Miller missed that chance at the end I dont know.

Were you on Level 4 of the North West Corner (near the TV studio)?

I suppose it was a cracking game for the neutrals. Frustrating from a Newcastle point of view at the way we lost the goals but a good fightback to get back into it. Simpson was very poor and I was disappointed with his injury feign to get himself subbed, probably the last thing he'll have done at St James'. I just dont get Ameobi at all, I cant see what he brings to the team that others cant do 10 times better.

The ref was terrible. Not just for Newcastle though, I think he'll have frustrated both teams with his performance.

We were in the Gallowgate upper. I would have recognised you Stevie!! :greengrin Agree with you RE: the ref. Cliff did comment about the standard compared to the SPL.

I know you'd have recognised me .. :wink: .. but one of the guys I travel down with is a Hibby from Prestonpans way and was texting me updates on the score through the game. He sits in the area I mentioned. Not sure if I'd know the guy behind you in the Gallowgate end.

You should have mentioned you were heading down and joined up for a pre-match beer.
