[@user-uf5sd3yk6g]

@@yasminal The game gets little to no coverage throughout the regular season of the a-league. It's a direct competitor to the likes of the AFL and Rugbue League. The local media is saturated with the two main macho, bash, crash sports. It's a culture the media is driving, maintaining!

[@Chzydawg]

No it's not. A-League is basement tier crappola. It's also the end of a very long season for Newcastle that involved champions league for the first time in a long time, players need rest. The off-season is hugely important for development and results should never be looked at in any way beyond the form of individual players. It's a chance for fringe and youth squad players to make an impression; either for their continuation at the club, or more likely to be loaned or sold on to other clubs. This isn't Burnley where every player goes on holiday for 4 months, half of Newcastle will be in the European finals, the other half have already been called up for international friendlies and tournaments throughout the year. Doesn't matter how money you earn, sometimes you just need to go sit on a beach and chill.

There’s a huge difference between a u21s player and a first team player who’s 21.

Some of the players fielded are being released next month and and most won’t make it as footballers.

[@XXXTENTAClON227]

You have to be joking right? Calling it a “young team” isn’t meant to be an exclusive reference to their age, but rather their status as reserves lmao. The NUFC keeper is 32 yrs old. Let me help you understand: - Sven Botman: 24 yrs old - Alexander Isak: 24 yrs old - Anthony Gordon: 23 yrs old - Tino Livramento: 21 yrs old - Elliot Anderson: 21 yrs old - Lewis Hall: 19 yrs old - Lewis Miley: 18 yrs old Note how none of these players are apart of the “youth team”.

I put a bet on the all stars and came out big sucked in Newcastle back to the pavillion you go

Embarrassing especially for a Premiere League club when we all know that the Academies overseas are way better than the ones we have here in Australia but to get flogged like this??? EPL teams need to start signing more Aussie players like they used too lol

Should have selected a bigger team than newcastle, West Ham or Brighton would have been a bigger pull and more entertaining.

[@daniel4224]

Disgraceful performance and team selection today by Newcastle. no respect for the fans who paid to watch. how can the club expect to expand their brand abroad when eddie howe sabotages the tour of australia with this sort of result!!?

[@ian_r125]

you think any of the players wanted to be there?

[@aidansherwell9006]

Ian, The players that played for Newcastle tonight have alot to play for as they are non starters, squad players, which makes the result absurd on their part

[@ian_r125]

@@aidansherwell9006 They're a mile off even breaking into newcastles second string. Nobody expected them not to get hammered. This whole aussie trip was just to get newcastle some profit

What have Irankunda done this season..dude doesn't deserve it

Who was that team wearing Green 🤔 Never seen them in my life 😂

Imagine PL all star team 😮

Nothing compared to the Kraev Irankunda link ups

Would just be a team made up of Man City and Arsenal players

Imagine if this was Manchester United 😢

[@gustaaf1892]

The Man Utd under 18s would destroy this team of Newcastle youth hacks.
