I watched the Milk Cup Final on TV but my brothers were there. Does that count?

You need to have the ticket stub for that game to qualify

Ive always thought, that if a player goes down in the penalty box, and the referee allows play to continue, and doesn’t award a penalty. Then surely that’s diving/cheating/simulation... which results in a booking! Anyway fair play to Josh Ruffels, kept his cool, and brought his foot back. Easy to lunge, in the heat of the moment.

In realtime in front of us at the game looked a dive, I haven't changed my mind after watching replays. As you say, well done to Ruffs.

On ticketing arrangements, how about distance travelled - I've only made two games this season but with 4,000kms I might just creep in............

Failing that - IQ rated - and the easy way to administer this one, just exclude anyone who voted for Boris.........

 

[bazzer9461]

No, as when we give a team the entire north stand it is literally impossible for us to win the game due to the unbelievable, massive boost it gives the other team. It’s why we got relegated don’t you know...

No that was because OGB want to make a few extra quid from the game he wasn’t bothered about us, and as that fat fraudster wouldn’t make anything out of the ticket sales for that game he certainly wasn’t bothered.

One of the signs of a dive (which refs don’t seem to understand) is when both feet are planted together as they go down? Anyone knows that when running your feet are never that close together.
As for the running at pace excuse someone is using, he wasn’t even doing that tbh.

I have lost my ticket stub,but still have the programme. Does that count?

From your forum name and the distances you travel I detect an EU membership bias. Give me Boris over Macron anytime.

So Steve Bruce is sobbing about the injuries his team have. How many millions do the players he has sat in reserve cost..? Who wants to be the one to tell him we had at least four of our best players out with injuries. And our squad is a fraction of the size of his?

 

[OX18]

If Bruce is that stressed about missing his Premier week off, do a Liverpool and send the kids down for the replay.

Bbc and guardian reports suggest we were lucky not to concede that Var penalty. I thought they were lucky not to get a booking. Thoughts?

I agree with your take, never a penalty just a dive.

There will be plenty of plastics there but S/T holders and members should get first dibs, then it’s a scramble for the remaining tickets

People with stubs from the Hartlepool match should have 2nd priority after ST holders/members IMO.

Do we think the replay will be a tv game?

 

[Marked Ox]

Trust me when you are running at pace or going round someone and you anticipate you are about to be taken out or kicked because that's how the player is shaping up, the natural reaction is to move (dive, jump etc out the way). A bit like when you are driving and someone goes to pull into your lane in front before pulling out, you will react.

Amazing, in my playing days I never felt the need to "anticipate and fall over". It is a dive, pure and simple.

Who kept their ticket from Hartlepool?!

Hopefully as it will be a nice wedge of extra cash.

Yeah but back in the 50’s and 60’s you were allowed to kick people in the air. Nowadays players are coached on diving and taking a tumble when breathed on.

Why should people who kept the Hartlepool stub get more priority than those that went to Newcastle

 

[Marked Ox]

I have lost my ticket stub,but still have the programme. Does that count?

Can I get 2 tickets as I have 2 programmes (1 signed by most of the players)?

Cheeky b****r.

I stopped playing around 2000 but you could still kick players occasionally then.

I am thinking of adding some more categories, this might be one. You can probably get your tickets after people who own the horned baseball caps, but before those have bought one bit lost it.
