Tonight's footy 31/1

We round off a busy January with cup and league action.

Toon-Saints expect Newcastle to confirm their place in the final tonight.

Brum-Rovers-Long starts, Juke on the bench.

Egan-Riley on the Hibs bench for their trip north to play Ross County.

Luton-Cardiff the sole Championship fixture, a draw or win for Luton would send them above Rovers into 5th.

Love the music Newcastle play before kick off.

Come on Blues, Saints and Hatters

1-0 Toon assist for Trippier.

Does Ally McCoist ever sleep? He seems to be commentating every match I watch regardless of channel. And then on Talk Sport early the next day.

He can be a little bit too enthusiastic about the most mundane things, but how refreshing is it to hear someone who’s enjoying doing his job rather than someone like Lee Dixon.

Eddie has worked absolute magic at Newcastle, money or not he's doing his job. Stunning stuff

When ever anyone mentions Ally McCoist all I think of is the old Fenners sketch on Soccer am and the character Ally McMoist saying "its a wee stain" when someone points out the damp patch on his trousers in the crotch area

Newcastle on fire here. Game over for the Saints fans and an 8 hour trip home to look forward to.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:28 pm

Lovely goal that second. Brilliant football.

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:29 pm

Newcastle looking like a Champions League side. People will counter that by saying it’s only Southampton but no side in the world would look forward to going to St James Park.
What a job Howe has done , always been a top manager

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:30 pm

Wow. That was out the blue. Won’t change the game though.

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:31 pm

Some finish that

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:32 pm

Thought Pope should have done better with his positioning.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:33 pm

Took the wind out of McCoist’s sail.

Usually a good listen but he’s been hard work tonight.

Carport · Post by **Carport** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:36 pm

Surely that’s a pen.

Blimey! Pope finally concedes, can't see it being more than a consolation though.

Still 0-0 at St Andrews in the Rovers cup replay; looks to be a low-scoring game unlike the 2-2 in the original tie at Deadwood.

Still 0-0 at Luton v Cardiff too with the home team looking to get into the play-off places and Cardiff looking to put some space between themselves and the bottom three

RickyBobby · Post by **RickyBobby** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:55 pm

Why are Rovers playing their replay tonight? Seems rather odd just a few days after the initial tie and when everyone else plays next week.
I wonder how long they have had to sell tickets? I don’t imagine the attendance at st Andrews will be many.

They play on Sky next Monday against Wigan in the league so the replay couldn’t be that week

Just a word on Soton away shirt.

YUK!

Egan-Riley making his debut in the closing minutes.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:41 pm

Luton score late to nick all 3 points.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:42 pm

That must be a red

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:43 pm

Rovers gone to ET, Juke now on as a 75th minute sub, well Long has now been replaced.

Level on points with Boro but GD two less so 4th but a game in hand on Boro.
Still in t'cup as well are the Hatters; replay away at Grimsby next week then winners away at Southampton. Another decent season having made the play-offs last year. Only 9,000 on tonight though.

If you spend your life looking into the background of everything you will never enjoy it . There are too many Moral Warriors on this board for me

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:26 pm

Not a question of being moral,they just get on my tits ,Accrington Stanley is more of a wonderful story .

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:28 pm

Luton's win against Cardiff sees them jump up to 4th, Knocking Rovers down to 6th.

It's rather brutal what she happens to that girl and what she does in response. Dreadful what she did to poor old Pat.

Edit - Just checked and it was actually Bill the Lizard who Alice kicked. Nasty piece of work, that Alice.

It's a classic, Elizabeth. Give it a go.

Trigger warning: Contains scenes of drug taking, violence, bullying, beheading and some inferred racial stereotyping. It's typical Victorian stuff for children.

No, that's just how it is. Read the original.

Don't bother with the Disney film.

Well Eddie , how many people have you come across that made you say ‘ there goes a man/ woman with morals’?
I’ve come across very few yet on this board so many pretend they are clean living citizens with a conscience about right and wrong.
All they are , are standard bearers for bullsh*t

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Wed Feb 01, 2023 8:24 am

Does anybody ever say, "there goes a man/woman with morals"?
Not that I know of but just about everybody on this board is able to see right from wrong. It's just a case of how much people are prepared to lie to themselves and ignore or attempt to justify the evil others are capable of.
Just a few days after Holocaust Memorial Day, your attitude is an interesting one to say the least.

How times change, eh?

The Tim Burton film is enjoyable though (for me at least).
Reading the book and the Tenniel drawings are best (whether you are adult or child). I have quite a few of Tenniel's "Alice" prints on my walls, they cheer me up always.
Some great moral tales told amusingly in the books; eg the walrus and carpenter oyster-eating escapade where the walrus (whilst showing most outward contrition) cheats his pal and does more of the "misdeed".
