Geordies are a different breed. Sold out away end at Forest and they’ve just celebrated like they’ve won the cup - it’s the 2nd round of the league cup, chill out!

When they were taking pens commentator building it up like it was FA Cup Semi, showing fans that couldn't watch etc!  Forest played Newcastle at same stage of League Cup in 2011, I was there (daughter was at Nottingham Uni).  Attendance 10,208 - times have changed.  I remember being disappointed with the atmosphere, very flat in Forest end, although still 2k Geordies there.  Both Ameobis played for Newcastle.

Dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight. Through to the Conference League group stages. Some of the potential ties are mental. 

Larne FC through as well

Good night for UK football 

If you ignore Scotland 

Hearts and Kilmarnock out

Rob Edwards no longer flavour of the month at Luton, 1 point from 4 games, 3 of them against teams that will probably be bottom half.   Probably the first time since he was there that he's been expected to win games instead of being plucky underdogs.

Their ground, in Oswestry (which is England) has no real status. A bit like a tidier Grundy Hill. It has a 3,000 capacity. They hold a couple of games a season in another town just South of Oswestry (& just inside Wales. That's barely above a local village standard).

TNS will host Swedish side FC Djurgardins at home with a venue still to be confirmed, with Cardiff City's* stadium likely to be host.

TNS are also home to Kazakhstan's FC Astana.

Away will be Shamrock Rovers, Dublin ... and Fiorentina.

 

*Cardiff. Jeez, they'd do better to move it to Wrexham, or Merseyside, or Stoke.

Yes, at Millennium Stadium. And City’s home leg was at Barnsley, weirdly. 

TNS playing their home ties at Shrewsbury apparently

Which makes sense but the Welsh FA aren't keen.

They believe progress should be a celebration for Welshness, in Wales, despite it being actually an English club.

TNS keep the very ordinary ground in Llansantffraid so the Welsh FA can convince itself it's really a Welsh club.

But what language do they speak?
