We beat Rangers & went on to win the cup.
I remember the Rangers fans coning down onto the pitch, looking to fight & get the game abandoned.
Nobody from, Newcastle went down, but when the game was over, the trouble started.
Not a good time for the ''Hooligans'' those days.

Glad he scored but taking a second yellow for taking your shirt off after a goal absolutely foolish and hurtful to your team. Luckily Blondell made it 2
I would fine him & make him apologize to his teammates & make a public apology to the fans.
Absolute disgrace.

Blondell - best game for him as a cap, lacks pace, holds the ball up decently, steals goals from kids(Davies).
Mutch..good game. Not fully match fit but it was a positive display.
Levi will take de Jong's job...eventually.
Davies...does he play better as a sub(for now)?
@mtkb , 4-1 when Teibert starts.

RT starting just reminds the others that they need to gird their loins, starting with ten men today boys all for one and all that crap...
Davies came in from Alberta, via Ontario, via Ghana, so the "homegrown" label is really quite farcical. The best they've had any real hand in developing is Dario Zanatta, and we know how that played out... I don't know what the disconnect is between the academy performances and the big club; it may have something to do with the quality of the opposition they face, or what other academies are doing in terms of player promotion, but i'm just guessing.
Re money: on the one hand, they don't actually make money - or at least didn't as of a couple years ago. On the other, their owner could absolutely afford to bring in a Gionvinco - he just isn't willing to.
The question that really ought to be asked is... why?

Carl must go
I'm not defending Carl here because I thought his line-up selection was poor but the players are letting him down. His system generated more shots on goal and more clear cut chances today. I don't know how Waston missed that header! Reyna crushed the crossbar. An in-form Kei should have at least scored one goal. Minnesota hardly threatened but did get the goal.
Carl Robinson in today's province: "People have their ideas and views and opinions, but my boys were great today, performance wise..."
Kei Kamara's instagram feed: "that result today was definitely not what this team is about. we are holding each other accountable and this the last you will see a message like that from me..."
Clearly there is a serious disconnect between players and coach.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
He costs more than 120k and has been a proven player and goal scorer and he’s also not South American. Love the optimism though.
We can only hope and pray at this point. haha
Here are some players who may be worth a look at imo:
Balotelli
Ben Arfa
Goetze
Mario Gomez
Carlos Tevez
Andy Glassman Carroll
Farbregas
Danny Welbeck
Keisuke Honda
Fernando Torres
Iniesta
Januzai
Hutchinson
Vermalen
The logical one for the Caps is Hutchinson, because he fills a needs as a midfield linchpin stud, but also because MLS has pledged to help subsidize / facilitate the return of "Canadian Stars" to MLS. Well, how many legit stars do we have? One: Hutch.
I'd love to see Balotelli, we could use a little crazy, not sure if there is enough dressing room for him and Kei.
Also, @mtkb- couldn't agree more on Davies, re: discovery. The fact they claim this is a joke. They didn't discover him, and he's not home grown at all. His youth club in Edmonton deserves credit for discovering Davies and facilitating him a formal environment in which to play. All the Caps did was recruit into Residency...and yes, that was some good recruiting. Who knows if Toronto or Montreal even knew about him then.
