Newcastle 1-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Colinjb]

Ugh. Fucking Russball. 

[Bad Wolf]

FFS McCarthy

[Suhari]

FFS.

Macarthy.

[Saint Matty 76]

And there's McCarthy...

[Maggie May]

lol 

I cannot stand Newcastle. 

[Disco Stu]

Fuck off McCarthy!

[OttawaSaint]

That...is why we need a proper keeper.

What the yellow rubbery fuck was that Alex. Total prat!

[obelisk]

Had to happen. McCarthy passes to opposition in the pen area. They score.

[RedArmy]

What the fuck is he doing 

[SaintBobby]

Idiocy of playing out from the back.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh fuck off McCarthy - utter utter shit after the outfield has been bossing it.

[Sunglasses Ron]

Haha, standard. 

Nathan Jones is sat somewhere saying “I told you so”.

[Edmonton Saint]

McCarthy has been a fraud for his entire career. Just a hopeless goalkeeper.  And we still learn nothing and keep giving this idiot new contract after new contract. Baffles me.

[OttawaSaint]

All our hard work pissed away, fuck off McCarthy! Cunt!

[Wade Garrett]

Sky just said we were overplaying at the back.  What a fucking surprise!

[Sheaf Saint]

Oh Macca. That's horrendous.

[Saint In Cornwall]

mccarthy just fuck right off you cunt

 

[hypochondriac]

There we go. McCarthy... 

[Otto Mann]

Aaaaaaand that's why Macca can't play out from the back ffs

[Ralph Fastenbüttl]

Silver lining - club's desire for a new keeper rapidly growing?

[Master Bates]

[Obstacle1]

We've played very well this half. All to be undone by a player the entire fanbase knew would do exactly this

[SouSaint]

The warning signs were there all fucking preseason and the club haven't acted. Failure of a transfer window starting with that clown in goal in a Premier League game. 

[Disco Stu]

All that good work undone there by stupid tika taka in our box.

[trousers]

McCarthy error then a half-hearted attempt at saving the shot. And that that Ladies and Gentlemen is why we need a keeper upgrade.  #blindinglyobvious

[RedArmy]

Why the fuck is he passing it back into an area crowded out by 3 Newcastle players when he’s got 2 defenders stood in acres on the other side of the box? 
 

Useless 

[saintant]

There you have it. Going to be tough now and typical of us to shoot ourselves in the foot.  We're never great against 10 men. Got to sort this goalkeeper position out. What a time to concede.

[BotleySaint]

Annoying to be losing to a totally avoidable goal. Even 1 man down they are the stronger team.

[Wade Garrett]

McCarthy can’t play football.  So why force him to.  It’s absolute madness.  

[Steve Cadiz]

That basic mistake says it all 

We desperately need to get a goalkeeper in and quick. They should never be 1-0 up

[Jack]

That is fucking shocking, but completely predictable 

[Galway saint]

we will concede lots of goals like that given the way we play despite whoever is in goal 

[badgerx16]

And that is why Macca is not good enough

[Disco Stu]

He's proven he's shit at it so why is he still being instructed to do it?

[ScandiSaint]

Serves us right for being so passive after getting a one man advantage. Could even here Martin shouting "do something with it". Aribo needs to be quicker. 

[SNSUN]

We knew it was going to happen. Hopefully cements a new keeper coming in.

Not over though. Heads up lads.

[beatlesaint]

That might be a blessing in disguise cos if they don’t realise now we need a decent keeper they never fkin will !!!

[Saint_clark]

In fairness the pass from McCarthy was horrendous but we shouldn't be passing back to him in that circumstance. Stephens was further forward than the fucking newcastle player, just turn around and play it forward.

[obelisk]

Saints have totally effed this up.

[woodsaint1]

Was our 3rd choice GK six months ago and should have been released in the summer. But no we give him a new contract and he starts for us in the PL 💩

[jamesfp1]

Spend however much is needed on a keeper. Tonight. 

[Saint Matty 76]

Such a shame. We've been really good here in possession and the thing everybody saw coming has cost us yet again.

We need more chances created in the second half, as expected it's been all from the wing-backs. I'd get Dibling on ASAP.

[Disco Stu]

Still scarred from the last time we played 10 and then 9 men Newcastle.

[Dragon_man]

Bazunu ball ... FFS

The pass back isn’t a problem if somebody had pointed to him where to play it rather than straight back into 3 Newcastle players.

Until we get a new goalkeeper, it looks like it's going to be about outscoring the opposition, 3-2 or 4-3, but to do that we need a new striker. On a more positive note, the transfer window's not closed yet and Brereton-Diaz looks like he's got a few goals in him so maybe he'll score today. Then, if Dibling comes on as a sub, he could score another one. So, then the result would depend on how many shots on target Newcastle get. If we can keep them down to 2 or 3, we just might get a 2-2 draw; probably not though.

Later in this thread, I'm expecting the inevitable, "Oh no, McCarthy" and "passing around at the back again."

Well that was inevitable.

[Hopper]

You can’t blame Martin or the rest of the team. The game to that point was perfectly played. That’s just fucking awful from Macca. Need a new keeper NOW.
