Just to let you know they're playing currently, having kicked off at 7pm. Already 2-0 to us - Ranger and Lovenkrands.

we are in blue, probably means no black and white v red and white this year.

Xisco - red carded!

Not surprised. He looks like a liability at times.

Sol off at HT. 45 mins under his belt, hopefully he should be on the bench for Blackpool.

58mins - NEWCASTLE GOAL (0-3): Quick-thinking by Peter Lovenkrands gives ten-man Magpies a three goal cushion. Nile Ranger's dangerous pass is cut out by a Sunderland defender but picked up by Trevor Carson, and referee Tony Harrington deems it a backpass and a free-kick. Immediately, Lovenkrands snatches the ball, places it on the floor and sidefoots it along the ground to Ryan Taylor, who smashes home from eight yards.

Presume the Mackems just play their first 11 in reserve games as I cant believe they have 11 other players shite enough not to get into the 1st team?

what for?

Kicking out at somebody, I think.

Good lad

I heard it was a bit harsh and little or no contact was made but he got a straight red anway for attempting it. Fair enough really.

Bit disappointing, if you are gonna get a red may as well make contact and do some damage

Do red cards from reserves pass on to first team duty??

I believe so

I think so too. I read somewhere that he'll now serve a three match ban.
