I thought it was a late challenge, a free kick to us and a yellow card for the H'pool player. But there you go that's football. Wouldn't argue with the sending off.

Yeah, that ESPN sub is really worth the money...
I'd agree with this assessment, although I was sixty yards away.

They weren't a dirty team and they closed us down effectively. But the challenge on LuaLua was late and IMHO worth a yellow card.

To be honest, I don't think promising foreign youngsters is what we're looking for as we head into winter, with bad pitches and other sides having worked out that they can kick us out of our stride (Calde I hear you say, but firstly he is experienced and secondly he comes from a part of Spain that has similar conditions to ours. Please don't think that I am suggesting we abandon the flair football Gus has developed - I am not, but one moment brought the point I am trying to make home to me. Baz had carved out a promising opening for himself late on and looked to be about to enter the penalty area. Then he took a second touch and the defender recovered. You get that time in South American football, and to a certain extent in Europe. You often don't here. Hartlepool countered our slow build up approach and for once we had no answer. As Easy 10 said, I'd like to see Jamie Smith given his chance unless we can get someone with electrifying pace like KLL.

LuaLua was only on the pitch for 15 minutes and was fouled 4 or 5 times in that short stretch. Hartlepool targetted him. The foul was worth a yellow.

Is there any footage of the challenge anywhere? Strange that the BBC left it off their highlights as it occurred immediately before their third goal. The SCR commentators thought it was a clear foul, but lots of conflicting accounts.
Yes. I really liked him at the start of the season.
BUT, could he be one Gus was referring to in his Argus interview where he states he is disappointed with some who, essentially, havent been trying hard enough to fight for a place?

Who knows. I'd be surprised though, because he had an excellent pre-season and seemed to have forced his way into the 1st team picture at the start of the season, so he must have worked hard to achieve that.
He's hardly had a look-in since KLL arrived. Now that KLL is out of the picture permanently for us, I'd hope/expect to see Smith make a few appearances for us even if its from the bench.

If you have Player then go onto the Hartlepool site. It's the same password as Seagull's Player. They have 11 mins of highlights compared to our 4 or 5. The tackle is definitely worth a yellow.

Hi Guys
Sorry to be the bearer of the bad news last night, cant understand though why Newcastle are claiming a broken leg when it "is" a cracked ankle bone. Having been recently new to posting on NSC, it was refreshing to see for once no in-house squabbling about sources etc. Please be rest assured I thoroughly checked my sources before posting this type of news last night.
On a positive note, as I've mentioned before this could indeed be Bennetts opportunity to re-establish his role, i.e. free kicks etc, it wasnt that long ago he was pretty much man of the match most games. Whilst KLL will be sorely missed (if you are reading this KLL we wish you a speedy recovery) all we can do now is move on. I'm hopeful that the manager may well have something up his sleeve, which he would have needed too in January if he couldn't retain KLL services.
Its a blip (slightly big one admittedly) but lets refuel the Gus Bus and get the show back on the road
