Sunderland V Newcastle

[NorthernLights24]

1441: Not surprisingly, the cameras have panned away from the trouble at the Stadium of Light, but there are reports of seats being thrown. The police have moved in in numbers...

 

1439: Ugly. Fans are spilling onto the pitch, and fighting has broken out. We'll hear more about that I'm sure. Disappointing end to an engaging derby. Sunderland defeat Newcastle for the first time since 2000, when chairman Niall Quinn got the winner.

I'm at Uni in Newcastle, these guys absolutely frigging hate each other. Last year the station was closed because fans were getting thrown on the railway!

Sunderland fans went onto pitch at end in front of Newcastle fans and one of them mooned them!!

 

Apparently one fan had go at Joey Barton aswell.

It's nice to see in a derby, and I mean that, proper hatred.

Saw this in the BBC text commentary as well.

1405: Ugly scenes by the touchline as Joey Barton appears to be pelted with coins and a bottle as he warms up. Play is stopped briefly but we're back under way now. Barton retreats to the technical area to continue his stretches.
