The Rolling Football Thread: season 2024/25 - part 2

[DuncinToffee]

The season continues ⚽

Get in Leyton Orient! What a goal

No Gayfield for me today. I'm fighting off a cold and sitting right beside the North Sea for a couple of hours doesn't sound like the best idea for my recovery. 😭

Don't blame you, hope you feel better soon Tarkan.

Shame it was gone down as a OG.
Bloody love the FA cup.

Agreed - what an absolutely stunning goal it was. I'm sure Ortega would also prefer it not to have gone down as an OG!

Oh, Rico Lewis just equalised for Man City as I type (lucky deflection off another City player - edit: it was given to Khusanov, as it deflected off him). Love the Orient fans geeing up their players in response.

*has (bloody ac)

Enjoyed that game.

Six nations next, so pleased it is raining here as I have no intention of moving off the sofa today.

Get well soon

Ah well disappointed, last ever FA Cup match at Goodison.

2 Tarkowski mistakes 2 goals. Far better second half and we hit the post 3 times.

@DuncinToffee How are you feeling re the change of grounds? Mixed, I'd imagine: so much history and emotion tied up with Goodison, but the new stadium looks fantastic.

At least Dunc you lost to a on form Prem side, we can't even beat next year's opposition.

Mixed indeed but mostly excited now it's getting close. We were back in Liverpool over Christmas and the stadium looks magnificent

Aw Nobby, it's just relentless isn't it.

Took 42 seconds for Birmingham to put one past us. The ups and downs of being a Newcastle fan 😂😂

Think you got lucky there

Can't believe there isn't goal line technology either

Not for the second one though

It was deffo over the line but whether it was fully over I’m 70/30. We’ll take it though! A wild five minutes there. Osula is looking really sharp. And Callum Wilson’s goals to appearance ratio is insane. He’s rarely fit but by god when he is he puts the ball in the back of the net.

It was a good half to watch as a neutral

Just watched one good and one excellent six nations match, and now turn over to see it is 2-2 😲

Sheer chaos. Proper FA Cup tie.

I've just seen a funny comment on another site saying how come FA Cup linesmen can't see Maguire 10m offside but can tell if a ball is fully over the line by 1mm!😂

Corruption no doubt 😏

Enjoying FA Birmingham v Newcastle.

Both sides are being battered.

At this point I’ll just be glad to get out of here without serious injury.

So many teams are experiencing big injuries
