v Newcastle Utd (h) - FA Cup R5 - 27/2/24, k/o 19:45

[RevidgeBlue]

Really disappointed with the manager with those substitutions.

Might as well have thrown a white towel on the pitch and walked off. Before those two substitutions we were competing really well.

[davulsukur]

This ref is ridiculous 

[roverandout]

Can't have a cup run. Might expose those slimy snakes in India and the worm waggot

Okay, we have limitations but swapping a CB for another when needing a goal? Literally what is the point?

He's 37 and needs resting at some point.

Wtf is Gillet watching if not a player reach sky high for the ball

In fairness it was Dan Burn.  Can't expect the ref to catch the 6ft7 defender handball the ball above his head

Those substitutions 😠

Play like this and we'll be fine 

Agreed, but it often doesn’t pan out that way, and our squad is weak.

It’s been a very creditable effort.

[Trinidad Rover]

Those subs changed the game for us. Problem having a crap squad. Siggy can’t win a header or tackle.

For 70 mins we were excellent though, credit where it’s due. Defensively much better. 
 

Pears also not put a foot/glove wrong.

i can understand eustace reason,the problem is our tiny squad

[Displaced Rover]

The subs were crap but that says more about our shite squad than Eustace.

What do you want him to do? Run the first 11 into the ground when we’re 4 points above the relegation zone?

Gally, Dolan and Buckley took off all our pressing and ball retention.  

Not sure what I'd have done differently though.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride 😡

[rob_of_the_rovers]

Might as well get Telalovic on, see if the premier league is his level

WWE wouldn't have a ref this bias due to plausibility issues  

Special guest referee - he'll pull off his orange top to reveal a Newcastle top at full time. 

[AllRoverAsia]

He is a convict.

Also a twat.

 

[Blue blood]

Think we've been unlucky that Gally came off for Sig, and the ref is from Newcastle. That said I wonder if nicking it would have been better for the team than a 20 minute rest for a few players. 

[CD_93]

Here comes the humble pie.

[AspRover]

Credit where it's due, that was good from Markanday

[WacoRover]

SAMMIE!!! I love ye, lad 

[simongarnerisgod]

all hail the markanday and the smzod🤣

[OldEwoodBlue]

Sammieeee

[RTM08]

SAMMMIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LETS GO LADS!

[joey_big_nose]

Markanday might look like hes from the number 9s but he cant half strike a ball.

[CambridgeRover]

WAHOOOO
