Rovers at the Toon FA Cup 3rd Round: Saturday 5th January 2019 - 5.30pm

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Let's try an experiment.

Keep Graham on for the whole game and see how many we win?

It's like a curse or some voodoo shit.

Tinkerman Tony strikes again. Rovers have thrown away more winning positions this season than any other club in the country

5 minutes, where from?

Some of us have said this before. The added time is basically made up.

Had nothing to do with Brereton. Just more clumsy mistakes

Brereton being criticised for lack of hold-up play - exactly what Graham does so well.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

1-1 then. Replay.

Like the West Brom game where he was fantastic in the last 15 minutes holding the ball up, brining others into play and winning free kicks. You have to wonder what Mowbray's sees.

[Exiled_Rover]

Never a penalty, but that's modern day football for you. 

[Gone to seed]

A decent result away from home

[bazza]

Are we attacking and looking for the winner?

Or are we fanning around in our own penalty area?

Oh its a draw

But it was Evans who tripped Perez for the penalty. Brereton did nothing but he’s not to blame for that.

It was quite concerning how he didn't even challenge their centre halves for headers etc. when he came on. At least make life difficult for them, Ben.

VAR is a joke

[jim mk2]

Replay that neither clubs wants ...... lucky to be 10,000 on Ewood. 

[Reedy You're A Star]

We'd have taken a replay at kick off, but again, could've and maybe should've been more. Still, in the hat for next round and showed we can compete with supposedly better teams. Frustrating subs and last 20 minutes game management though, again.

[OJRovers]

Played well up until the subs... same old story.

WHY oh WHY do we keep bringing on Brereton? Its like playing with 10 men. 20+ mins today and I can't remember him touching the ball.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Overall, would have taken a draw at the start. Encouraging showing against a premier league team and away as well. Just can’t hold onto a lead. Sad.

[philipl]

Again draw is a good result but we should have won.

Hopefully a good crowd on at Ewood for the replay and we progress.

Evans fault. Gave the ref a decision to make. Soft but can see why it’s given. Stupidity.

Evans was stupid, if you keep kicking around a players heels in the box there's every chance it'll end up as a penalty. How old is Evans, 28? Ffs, should know better.

[rossyste]

Pretty obvious from today's results (and tomorrows fixtures) the replay will be televised, will Waggett and Co be creative and try and fill the ground or simply milk the Toon away support ?

[des]

watch the match god game travis look a good player for us, the aim is to make as much money as we can  so a replay ans a win and get a another big gate job done i hope

Tis true. I just fact checked it. We're no.1.

[Mr. E]

We can be proud of that. Newcastle are a team of divers, very sad to be doing that in your own stadium against a lower league team. Raya kept us in it a few times, however.

To justify the decision to sign him for silly money.
