    Gutted. Football is a cruel game sometimes.
    I was there, better side won. That said, you could have won if you'd converted the penalty, but it looked harshly awarded anyway.

    I can't really disagree that the best side won but it was gutting to concede in the 92nd minute after giving Newcastle a good game. I thought we were probably the best side in the first half although we did ride our luck a bit with them missing a great chance. In the second half though Newcastle came out better and put a fair bit of pressure on us (though I think that we stood off them too much for my liking) and credit to them for keeping going until the last minute. I'm also gutted that Woods bottled the penalty because I think we would have gone on to win if he'd have scored it. Overall though I still enjoyed the day because we gave a top side a good game and St James' Park was an amazing ground for us to play a league game.

    Yeah, you looked the most dangerous side for the first 60 mins I would have said, and the goal you scored was cracking. Newcastle kept getting chances though and you knew that they had to take at least one.

    Sending-incident was a bit confused and, overall, I thought the ref could have been a lot better.

    Both sets of fans were superb as well, great day out.

    Brentford finally win and it comes in a game in which we get 17% of the possession.

    Barnet 3-0 Darlo.

    Wasn't there but from sounds of it Darlo gave it a good game in the first half, especially considering how poor their squad is. But our two subs changed the game for us, and once we scored one, Darlo cracked.

    Same again in two weeks in the cup then, hopefully!!!

    Yeah. We were pretty terrible, but Stockport were playing with concrete boots or something.

    Hardlines DJB. You's should have came away with at least a point. Good luck for the rest of the season.

    Sorry mate, I've missed the highlights and didn't get a full match report anywhere: What did Khizanishvili do to get sent off, was it a penalty for Doncaster and should Newcastle had a penalty (or two) at all?

    I'm starting to feel really sorry for Darlo, to say two years ago we played them in play off's and they were real contenders.

    Anyway, Rochdale have Bournemouth tomorrow Arthur's injured and I doubt we will win.

    Goal scored by Chris Dagnall from deep inside the penalty area low into the middle of the goal. Bournemouth 0-1 Rochdale.

    That was an amazing result, Kitty.

    Ipswich get their first win and Reading sounded good too.

    Brentford shall not be mentioned.

    The BBC excelled themselves in the report of your match today.

    "Doncaster 1 - 1 Blackpool

    Billy Sharp's last-minute equaliser rescued a point for Doncaster in a six-goal thriller against high-flying Championship rivals Blackpool."
