[John Drake]

Discuss the Betfred League 1 Qualifying Play-off: Newcastle Thunder v Doncaster here.

[Rob Nash]

We're capable of winning this. Both sides are better than game one. I go with no expectation other than to say we've started to find a bit of form COYD

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Newcastle by 12.

[FearNothing]

Can see ths either being very close or a blowout, nothing inbetween...should be a good game.

[Rob Nash]

It won't be a blowout. Dons have best defence in league after Haven. Our problem this season has been losing games by a score or less. We've shown a bit of composure with ball last couple of games. I think it'll be fairly close. No prediction other than to say we've got enough to have a very real chance.

[Rob Nash]

P.s. we've beaten both teams above us this year. Strong 2 to 4. Winners coming from those 3. Town or Hunslet won't be able to do it away at any of those 3

[Thunder fan]

be a close game, 10 wins from our last 11 games going into this one.

[Angelic Cynic]

Does the owner of Newcastle Thunder,Semore Kurdi,attend the games?

I saw that he was competing in the Great North Run last Sunday,but I am not aware as to whether or not he attends the Thunder games.

I wasn't greatly impressed by Thunder on Sunday,but I will be interested to see how Doncaster line-up.

He attends every game he can 

[ivans82]

Thunder to win , providing they don`t hand tries out like xmas presents as Town did last Sunday .

[Eleftherios]

I'll be at this one. I can hear Tim Booth singing "Come on Thunder, Come on Thunder!".

[Rob Nash]

[swann5]

Newcastle by 6 , will be close I think.

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

Just want a very close hard fought tough game, going into extra time. Lots of biff. Where the winners come off completely spent and exhausted,  battered and bruised.

[Rob Nash]

Good luck to both sides. I'd love this to be the final!

If Sheffield are still considered an expansion side then we can claim same! 

The expansion final. Newcastle v Doncaster!

[Futtocks]

Streaming live on Twitch as well as OurLeague, for those who have issues with the latter. Anyone who tuned in late has missed a very entertaining curtain-raiser served up by the under-16s of Scotland and Ireland.

[EssexRL]

Just been watching before heading out. Typical level of L1 errors on display!

actually - wonder if nerves are taking toll.  

[JonM]

Nice bit of refereeing there.

[JonM]

But not a very good attempt at a penalty kick from Doncaster.

[EssexRL]

Gone a bit ugly. 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Has to be a red that.

Yellow in the end, but that was a nasty one.

Poor decision by ref. That was deliberate and dangerous. 

[JonM]

Not a fan of the sinbinned player then having a go at the player he's just injured when he's left the pitch.

[Moscow01]

Horrendous decision from the referee. That was a red card every day of the week.
