United v Kingz

Round 24 report by Grant Stantiall
Newcastle United v Football Kingz


Is it just me or does anyone else think tonights game was a pile of poo? Dead boring would also do. Kingz showed nothing and Newcastle did nothing to take advantage. They could have won 5 or 6 nil if they had got going in the first half. Masi was killing the back 4 and Markovski in particular.

SKY TV must have been embarrassed at having to show this shite. Wade and co were right when they stated the Kingz had no spirit. They looked woeful in the first 44 minutes. Yes, wasn't there a whole 45 minutes. One more minute of this dross wouldn't have mattered I guess.

I feel this should have been a 1-1 or 2-2 draw. Moreira and Urlovic both tried to con the ref for penalties. Moreira gets the Oscar while Urlovic could consider himself unlucky to have a goal disallowed for no apparent reason. If the Brazilian could earn a penalty then Urlovic's effort should equally have been deserving of a spot kick.

Matthew Breeze joins a rather expanding list of match officials who need to book an appointment with an optician or simply give up the game. He's next to aweful.

How on earth 9000 fans could get enjoyment out of that display is beyond me. We spent most of the game yawning and counting down the time. Any more of this and I'll have to take up sheep shagging.

The home side are in the top 6. You'd be hard-pressed to believe that if you were a neutral. The Kingz improved in the second half but its the same old story of not enough players making the effort. If 7 or 8 can the the team has a good chance. If only 2 or 3 are then you are history.

The record books will confirm Kevin Fallon as the worst Kingz coach in their short NSL tenure and I hope those in power see sense and don't bother asking him back for an interview for next season.

I fail to see how sitting in the dugout chewing gum inspires a team, let alone fans. He's got to go. Career ended. Sorry Kev, bye.

Its been a sad old season for the Kingz. Bring your wooden spoons to the next game. We'll throw them on the pitch once the players have left the field to show how pissed off we are. No one should have to endure a season like this. The smart man will have money on Adelaide to win too.
