Oswald Mosley Owl. Really do present themselves as the dregs of society. Time after time. #rufc

I mean it doesn't really matter, but this ref has certainly served a duty of care to Newcastle's youngst... nasty, sports-washed Saudi state money. #rufc

Perhaps clutching, but there are a few crumbs of sunshine to take. 1) We didn't crumble and stayed in the game even with 9 men. 2) Ngwenya had a solid game. Maybe further improvement with games under his belt. 3) Fitz is a wonderful player. Blessed to have him with us. #rufc

We'd have given them a game with 12. But even with 11, too negative. We need to be losing to get into 'em. We don't go for the jugular. If and when we do, invariably it's favourable as it's a crap level of football. Get Sebine in to support Mullins, and have a proper go. #rufc

That was a cruel blow on the stroke of HT, but hopefully ammo for the players to lay into Buyabu. Mind you he's got the IQ of about 30, so probably won't realise the predicament. Need Sebine on if can manage 45 mins to hold it up and take the load off Mullin. So avoidable. #rufc

They might have Snowdon amongst their starters, but it's us with a mountain to climb. Like a training session. #rufc

If it wasn't so painful, it would be funny. Send Buyabu back. Not professional enough. #rufc

As an aside, there's a complete gulf between we go ahead against ten men (in any given season) vs when we go behind to ten. It's like a Pep masterclass vs an under 14s Sunday team. Why are we so perpetually naive? Just keep the ball better. #rufc

The pleasing thing is we kept going. The utterly frustratingly thing is we have the best striker in the division putting us yards ahead, but we can't defend high balls into the box. Hint: the main oppo play at this level is high balls into the box. Brave but worrying! #rufc

Is it hard to get a ref with testosterone playing against these quaint village teams? He wasn't even reaching for his pocket before swans of croquet-players went for him. Have some balls, man! #rufc
