Looks better than the Hi-vis shite Stains are wearing.

 

[Reiser99]

"We're hearing Saints are preparing to bring on Harry Mallinder."

And Newcastle fans breathe a sigh of relief.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Good reffing from Doyle

 

[ratsapprentice]

Scott Wilson... good to see he's alive.

 

[TheSaffycen]

As a Newcastle fan this is good to see. A team in black and white winning at St James's

 

[Big_Grumper]

It's newcastle united innit ya know cause of St james park.

I know. I'm just surprised and dismayed that they've gone for such a shallow and cheap form of ass-kissing.

How is that's a shallow and cheap form of ass-kissing?

It's a big game for them and all proceeds from the shirt sales go to the doodie weir foundation.

 

[Big_Grumper]

I have no issue with the Doddie Weir link. My issue is them wearing a shirt that mimics the town's football club for the one and only time.

Are they going to wear it again this season? Will they use it as a changed kit?

I suspect the answer to both in on the negative.

 

[ratsapprentice]

One off charity shirts are a thing.

 

[Big_Grumper]

I get it. For the past couple of years Glaws have released a poppy-inspired shirt for Remembrance Sunday.

Perhaps I'm just rejecting growing cost of kit to the 'average fan'.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Don't have to buy the kit though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sales neon orange kit is bae

 

[ratsapprentice]

Perhaps I'm just rejecting growing cost of kit to the 'average fan'.

Literally the only reason they sell shirts is to make money.

You don't need to buy them.

People say that's a trite argument, but it really is as simple as that.

 

[Sixways Cheryl]

My heart was in my mouth after the start we made at Sale & the news that London Irish were 17-0 up v Glaws, but can breathe a little easier now. Looking at the Irish fixtures they really needed to win yesterday - can't see them getting much from Quins, Exeter, Saracens or Bath.

Would like to see us take it out their hands though, Newcastle at Sixways next is a very winnable game if we turn up right. Lets stay up by winning, not just waiting for LI to lose.

 

[Sixways Cheryl]

That Falcons kit is awful. They look like American Football umpires.

The Newcastle kit minged, but it minged for a good cause so I think that makes it OK.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Can't wait for manu to become a commentator after rugby.

 

[Big_Grumper]

The Newcastle kit minged, but it minged for a good cause so I think that makes it OK.

I've said all I'm gonna say on "that kit" for fear of coming across as a heartless bigot.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Cole won a penalty at the breakdown? What year isn't this.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

FFS poor Manu

 

[ratsapprentice]

Really think someone should be going after Arno Botha... his stats for LI are outstanding.

Quins could do worse...
