A sick end to what has proved to be a sickening campaign.
The protests at the end of the game were nothing new and the “lap of honour� turned into somewhat of a farce as the Toon players came face to face with a mix of the boos, jeers and applause.
Credit goes to those who managed to clap off the players while Stephen Carr could not join in the parade due to urgent treatment required on a muscle injury.
Well it’s fair to say many Toon fans tonight needed some treatment of their own to nurse their broken hearts after another bad display.
True, Benni McCarthy was a mile offside when he headed home on 14 minutes but Newcastle were tame in attack.
Michael Owen was unlucky to see Christopher Samba head off the line in the second half but that’s how it is going for Newcastle at the minute in attack.
But for Blackburn’s second there can be no excuse for the time and space allowed for Jason Roberts to bullet home for 2-0 – where was the marking?
We can’t score and we are rolling out a red carpet for the opposition to score at the other end.
It’s quite simple really.
But for now many are wounded and by the look of a few abandoned season ticket books on the side of the pitch it looks like a few aren’t coming back!
