Matchday thread - Toon v Liverpool

[lassassinblanc]

Guessing that means Karius will have to play in the Carabao Cup if Pope is suspended for the Cup final, as Dubravka played for Manchester United

[UlversToon]

Is Pope out of the final and is Dubravka cup-tied?

[originallad]

Wow. Only just checked the score. Ultimate f***ing s*** mode engaged I see.

[seaside nipper]

Nobody implodes like us

[Blue & Maroon]

Struggle to finish above Fulham at this rate. Wheels well and truly off, not helped by injuries

What's Karius like in finals?

[lassassinblanc]

Tbf to Pope goalkeeper instincts probably took over there

Just as long as he isn't elbowed in the head.

That's what it looked like to me - the header didn't go to plan, he kind of trapped the ball with his head, then he's on the ground with a ball in arm's reach.

The commentators on my feed think "young Mark Gillespie" is our third choice keeper.

The worst thing about this is that my Dipper supporting brother and nephew, who haven't wanted to talk about football all season, will suddenly want to talk about nothing else.

Until they lose 3-0 to a relegation candidate again.

I f***ing hate Liverpool.

Great season so far but when the f*** do we start mixing our attacks up and stop ignoring the other 2/3rds of the pitch that is available?

Me too!

Not heard from my Dipper supporting mate but expecting an onslaught later.

[Don Sholeone]

I called this last week, we have looked well short for a while. Needed the extra quality in January and we f***ed it up. That whole window was awfully handled, this was the perfect season to break the top 4, but long term plans blah blah blah, it's about qualifying in the next 5 years etc etc.

[lassassinblanc]

Tbf we've actually been the better team bar the scoreline

[Sir Bobby]

Couldn't take any more after Pope's sending off and turned off! We were the better team in the first 20 minutes (and also from 20 mins onwards from what I've skimmed on Twitter) but somehow found ourselves 2-0 down without a keeper

It almost feels like we're getting all the ridiculousness out of us now and we'll be completely focused next week. At least, that's what I hope...

[overseasTOON]

Wry smile as an agnostic that Pope isn't infallible.

[overseasTOON]

Cmon Murphy.

[Colback's Orange Tufts]

Hope Joelinton doesn't have a hamstring there

[seaside nipper]

ASM first name on the team sheet for the final, is there anyone else left

[Cal]

On the bright side, at least it's not another draw?
