ADO Den Haag vs Newcastle United match highlights
Posted on August 4th, 2012 | 84 Comments |
Highlights (if that’s the right word) from today’s 0-0 with Den Haag at the Kyocera Stadium in the Hague.
It was something of a lacklustre performance from the Magpies against a Dutch side who were about the equivalent of a middle ranking Championship side over here. It was once again a return to Pardew’s “back to basics” 4-4-2 style of early last season rather than the Pardiola 4-3-3 / 4-3-2-1 of later in the season, with Ba and Cisse as the two big lads up front. The other big lad, Shola, came on to join the party later, and the Fenham Eusebio did indeed have the ball in the back of the net at one stage, though sadly, it was judged to be offside.
The definite lowlight was the monkey chanting from Den Haag fans at Papiss Cisse as he had a word with the referee.

Poll
I heard the monkey noises when I was watching the game and they were an absolute disgrace. The Den Haag fans should be ashamed of themselves, but they probably won’t be.
