@ChrisBlack10 I'm no elite manager, but it's a relatively fair assumption that elite international managers tend not to take players to tournaments that they think are a bit shite..

@NE5Seadog @2NarMe I'm no historian, but I'm absolutely sure there was no ikea up here in the 70s or 80s 🤣

@2NarMe *loyalest

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@2NarMe 1 'bad' season and half of the fanbase (on here anyway) are either shitting their pants, crying in the corner, throwing in the towel or DEMANDING a change of ownership.
The loyalist football supporters the world has ever had? Maybe in the stadium, but certainly not on here.

@theavfcfaithful Coincidence or foresight?

I know what my thoughts are.

Regardless, it was perfectly played by those clubs.
For the record, Nufc under Ashley were more than happy to vote in rules that would limit spending.. funny that.

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@theavfcfaithful Quite generalised:
1888 - professional football league created in England
1992- corporate level profitability in football started to appear
2000 - the true chasm of revenues started to become evident
2013 - PSR proposed by Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United & Tottenham..

@FrancisChipp mackems declare Scotland as categorically better than Brazil as they now sit above them in a world cup table, despite the fact that they've been in the wilderness since 1066ad? (No offence to Scoltland intended).

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@FrancisChipp @vinayulol_ Frank, any truth in the rumour that Liverpool need to pay NUFC some sizeable add-on fees this summer as a result of Isak's remarkable number of appearances and goals scored in the c25/26 season?

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@Magpie24_7 I had number 23 on that shirt, but instead of 'PISTONE', I had 'PISSED ONLY'.

I could drink a lot more back in 1997 🤣🍻

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@RichySouthern It's not for me either fella, but I'll just not buy it and not give it another thought until the first match of the season. Fundamentally though, only global shirt sales will determine it as a success or failure..
Subjective public opinion is largely irrelevant.

@JimmyTheBrummie Well done kiddo. Keep believing, keep taking those steps (even the difficult ones), and keep moving forward - one step, one day, one hour or even one minute at a time 🖤🤍

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@WoodsfordSquare @EwanMacKenna @romanov51817 I know. I'm agreeing with you. The rule stated does not fundamentally impact the potential to review a foul throw in the build up to a goal.

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@WoodsfordSquare @EwanMacKenna @romanov51817 The rule implies that they can't change a decision on a restart, ie. Change a corner to a GK or award a throw in to the opposing team.

@NE5westend His only competition for that title is the lad from Dunston

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@PDavy1 There'll always be bad days over the course of a season bud, but there's no doubt at all that you lot have played a blinder on the whole.

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@NE5westend My girls were 12 & 9 back then, loved every minute of those celebrations ⚽️
RIP Christian Atsu 🖤🤍

[Andrew Downey @andrewdowney]

@PDavy1 Var was never intended to re-referee the games.. we've been done.

@FrancisChipp @gw850 @Memecastle_Utd Frank, have you been enjoying a shandy or two this evening?
