    Went to the game but wasn't able to get online last night............

    Here's my two penneth...........

    About the fans.............seemed a lot younger than normal and in big groups of ten or more........hey, £10 a cheap night out.........good chanting and great atmosphere . At half time , about fifty fans stayed in the bar ( beer in plastic bottles at £3.20...........so anyone drunk had ARRIVED drunk) and started chanting/throwing plastic dustbin and plastic beer bottles around. looked a bit ugly...cops arrived who hadn't been seen AT ALL, never saw one till then........I came back to my seat thinking, if this lot clear the bar its going to kick off.

    Policing. There were 4 policemen showed up just after half time in the bar........after the pitch invasion............another dozen turned up...........stewards were just young lads in high res vests............clearly ill prepared for any wrongdoing.

    Pitch invasion.........definitely started with the chant......."If Sammy scores we're going on the pitch"....................AND HE DID!!!!...........so what happened...........the rest is history..........99% ran on and off........1% decided to show off/fight Darlo fans and stay on the pitch...........hence headlines.

    Players...........mmmm...........Cabaye/Sammy/Ben really shone.............I can see Ben sitting behind Ba............however.....very few stars on show???????? No Check/Enrique/Jonas/Ba??????????

    Overall, the night was marred by the pitch invasion of very young lads but it was a friendly so the motive for doing it was still puzzling to me ........once on the pitch that was the excuse for Darlo fans to run on and scrap..................sad really

    The motive for doing it at all, friendly or not, puzzles me.

    the Song ' if Sammy scores we're on the pitch ' has been sung for ages
    I heard it at the Northumberland senior cup match against Blyth
    only this time due to the lack of security (I.m.o.)it has led to fans running onto the pitch mainly for a laugh (not condoning it though)
    the said lack of security and inability of the stewards to escort darlo fans away from the Newcastle fans led upto
    the fracas on the pitch as you can see quite clearly a Darlo fan wrestling with the stewards to goad the Newcastle fans
    unfortunately and with the lack of security it was easy for the Newcastle fans to get involved in the scuffle

    see DurhamDynamo's vid from 9.50 on
