Crowd knew the words to the anthem.
Crowd knew to cheer when Griff scored.
Crowd went home happy.

I'd rather a stadium full of them than superfan tossers like you.

(Would still buy you a beer tho).

I think the Asian Cup has ensured this will be done with the large turnouts by locals for basketcase games between 2 sides most Australians wouldn't be able to find on a map

I believe they are amalgamating the world cup qualifiers and the Asian cup qualifiers. I think that is dumb, now there are half as many important games.

At least we already qualified for next Asian Cup (2019)
Wander if the winner of Irak and UAE also automatically qualify ? Would make game on Friday more competitive....................I think venue for 2019 will be decided soon and it's between Iran and UAE

If they are not amalgamating the Asian Cup 19 and WC 18 Qualifiers into one and keeping them separate I would rather we had to qualify for 2019.

Feel the games being genuine and not glorified friendlies are good prep to blood players and develop our side under battle conditions.


Not having to qualify for 2015 Asian Cup I don't think has done Japan Korea Australia any favours for the 2014 WC

I really don't get it. The thing about a Newy crowd is that they cheer in the right places, they applaud in the right places, they groan in the right places, and they anticipate a goal. They know how to bring a team home. This tells me we have a very educated crowd. Tonight I had guys around me debating various aspects of tactics and player performance. A newy crowd is engaged in the game.

So what if Newcastle people don't sing. It's an anglo trait and a sign of the mainstream nature of the football in our city. Expect more of this if the game becomes more and more mainstream in the rest of the country.

These dicks want to turn crowds into performing seals, cheerleaders. For what? So that they can go on about how great the atmosphere is? Funny listening to Duvutovic say what needs to happen to create more active support like he is a chess master pushing the pawns around.

Get stuffed.

Where are the sources for this? I haven't found any.

Was all on twitter during the game

I'm glad that when some ****s tried to start a wave, they just copped a spray and told to shut up by someone nearby.

I was proud to be from Newcastle when we are able to stop a Mexican wave.

Atmosphere was great. Loved every second of it.

How about old mates horrible attempt at a dive in the box last night? How did he not get a yellow?

Unfortunately he left it about half an hour too late for me to make the trip to Newy from Sydney and make kickoff.

The bastard.

:sup:

Only heard one twit do the Aussie, Aussie, Aussie thing - near the end so he was probably pissed.

Stupid bogans still don't realise its actually an old Welsh rugby chant.

That is who is to blame for the 21000 crowd not the Asian Confederation. It's not unlike the State Government haven't had the time or money to do it but have continued to screw Newy in favour of Sydney

whats this rules are rules crap? just turn up and do it. will need 200 though.


and with all this crap going on I honestly couldnt give a fk about the final now. rather go to a comedy festival

I'm going to go against the apparent grain on here and say that i thought the atmosphere at the Oman sydney game was way better than this UAE one. But being at a field that didn't have the open ends to drown noise out, plus being twice as full, is probably the main reason for this.

In saying that, the atmosphere the Iran supporters made was 10 times better than both.

Wow, that's rough. Have you called them up, or just tried online? Surely if you called them they would be understanding.
