B'ham v NUFC

Posted by Mac C on 9/2/2025, 12:21 pm

Bit of an old-fashioned match last night. There will be some sore shins and bruises this morning.
Birmingham were really up for it and did very well and played in the lower league manner.
We were fortunate that our equaliser was ruled to have crossed the line. I am not sure it did!
And what a cracker of a goal from Brum's Iwata !!
Proper football.
And well done to Joe Willock who was the subject of some nastiness last week. Some half-wit so called supporters forget his seven match run of goals three years which kept us up when he joined.

Mac it was a goal and an old fashioned FA cup game an advert for positives of playing game of football. Birmingham could have had a couple of red cards even by 1970s standards.
Many of Newcastle players had little or limited game time and it showed but they did not hide, a great week for the toon.
A footnote how good was Tonali when he came on and Dan Willock as the BBC commentator called him. JOE take a bow?

It was an entertaining game but very dirty tricks from the Birmingham players, I did find it very funny when one of the diminutive Birmingham players tried to wind up Dan Burn, I think the idea was that if DB responded he would receive another yellow card then get sent off, it didn’t work.

As the match progressed the mist descended more and more, it must have been a nightmare for the players.

I thought those metal advertising boards were very dangerous, Schar made his feelings known, in my opinion I thought the Ref turned a blind eye to a number of fowls, if he was paying more attention I would have been very surprised if the Birmingham team were not reduced to maybe 9 men, just my opinion.
