Good win, Cabella is starting to show his class.
Love watching a player who can run at defenders.

Good interview by Carver and congratulations to him and the team.

That handball though, the ref totally missed it, well spotted linesman.
Should be a retrospective ban.
That simply can not be tolerated.
Blatant cheating.

Yes, handballs and simulation are terrible things.

So, a deliberate handball to prevent a goal got him a red card.

A deliberate handball to score a goal, however, only merits a yellow apparently.

Plus, for a fair while, Steven Taylors antics were the only source of entertainment on offer at St James Park

[RedWhiteMonkey]

True, any that Hull guy should have been sent off. Taylor should have got an Oscar.

He has enough of them surely?

Santon gone then and we appear to now have a B team North of the border. Sadly one that I utterly despise.

In the round though, I thought this window could have been worse, which is a sad reflection of the ambition we no longer have.

For shame.

[ellroy]

Gave away two points. Stupid decision making in the last 5 minutes.

To be fair to Stoke a draw was probably deserved as neither team were overly impressive.

Tough on Stoke that result, far and away the better team

The standard of trolling has certainly gone downhill on PH.

[V8covin]

Even though Colback shouldn't have been on the pitch when he scored I'm happy with the draw.
2 poor sides on the day not helped by our (Stoke) long imjury list

[ellroy]

Another lead lost.

Mid table obscurity beckons.

There's a shock.

[DoctorX]

Ah well, De Jong will be back soon. Oh.....

[ellroy]

At least some clubs' fans have a touch of decency....

Wtf was Williams thinking there ?

[Jimmm]

How did we end up with such a terrible squad and st manager. Oh well maybe the next decade will be better.

[ellroy]

Well, that really wasn't a shock was it?

[TX1]

No was expected but that pass in the first 30 secs from Williamson which dropped Anita in the s**t was diabolical.
Result was going to be a hammering after that.

[ellroy]

Very, very happy with that result.

Safety almost sorted out and hopefully a nail in the coffin for these scumbags.

[ray von]

Did you miss the spitting incident then ellroy? What's your take on that? Is it worse than play acting?

[ellroy]

Didn't see the match Ray as I was out. However, spitting is bloody disgusting, 6 games seems about right to me. The seventh being due to earlier infractions in the season.

As regards this versus play acting I'm not sure I follow your point fella? One is a single act that is frankly very rare, the other a blight on virtually every game these days. One will always remain rare, I'd hope and expect, the other needs to be clamped down on for the good of the game going forward.
