On a warm, giddy evening for Newport as a city, @dredbridges.toot.wales.ap.brid.gy tried to capture the mood after County's friendly defeat to AS Roma. Despite the result, a lot of goodwill was in the air, with both the club and the city emerging with reputations enhanced... #ncafc 🧡🖤

Please give this a listen. It is the wonderful @1912exiles.com team covering our friendly with Roma. What an atmosphere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qgz...

Tell you who'd have loved last night... Today would've been the birthday of our friend Ollie, so we're announcing the inaugural #OllieAllenDay where a few of us will go on a long and pointless away journey, and raise a glass in his memory. Join us if you can. @ncafctrust.bsky.social #ncafc 🧡🖤

Non-football highlight of last night was Dave R wondering whether anyone had booked the “ghost seat” in our row for the sold-out game. They had, and it was Mr Hamid! 🤣 #ncafc 🧡🖤

Match review up on YouTube. Will plug in the morning but it's late and I'm tired. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Things I didn’t expect to see in the year of our lord 2026: Bella Ciao being played over the PA system as Newport County come off the pitch after playing AS Roma. Go home football, you’re drunk. #ncafc 🧡🖤

HAHAHAHAHA, LEAVING EARLY FUCKERS, YOU MISSED NEWPORT COUNTY SCORING AGAINST ROMA! Yes it’s only a consolation, but we scored from a set piece and it was lovely. #ncafc 🧡🖤

A few people leaving early as the fourth goes in, doubtless muttering “why do I bloody bother…” on their way out. Give your heads a wobble, lads. What did you EXPECT to happen tonight‽ #ncafc 🧡🖤

A standing ovation from the Hazells Stand for Trialist A as he comes off. I think we should definitely sign him, but only if he first agrees to change his surname to Trialist A by deed poll. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Meanwhile, a 22-man ruckus because of Cam Evans doing the most Cam Evans tackle that Cam Evans has ever Cam Evansed… #ncafc 🧡🖤

Genuinely, we’ve had five or six gilt-edged chances in this. It isn’t an exaggeration to say it. Will this season’s refrain - again - be one of “we were right in this until they scored their second…”‽ #ncafc 🧡🖤

Softest penalty ever, that. Do we think Castro had promised the ref his shirt‽ #ncafc 🧡🖤

What a silly, giddy, ridiculous joy this is. We’re playing *AS sodding Roma* and so far the best chances have fallen our way. It’s like someone’s picked a deliberately mismatched FIFA combo on the easy setting. Drink it in, boys. #ncafc 🧡🖤

All set for tonight? Never mind the result, let's enjoy the occasion and drink it all in. Below are a few handy Italian phrases should you need to assist any away fans during the course of today. Give them a great Newport welcome. #ncafc 🧡🖤

@boomstronk.bsky.social - famous again!

We asked for your best captions for the "Dan Sassi as a Roman" picture, and Newport County Thoughts on Twitter took the cake by pointing out that there's a Peep Show meme for everything... #ncafc 🧡🖤

How are we feeling about the squad, folks? If we we need two players per position, plus a 'spare' CB and CF, plus a few utility players, arguably we're nearly there already. But given budget, what would you prioritise now? Graphic credit: Jack R #ncafc 🧡🖤

Caption this photograph. Stupid ideas only, please.

Giving another little shoutout for Logan's excellent report of the Yeovil friendly. Do give it a listen if you haven't already. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Couldn’t make the trip to Huish Park as one of the kids had a football festival at Cardiff Met - so obviously we’ve hung around to cheer on James Clarke in their first game of the season against Holywell Town. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Ep284 is out, and is perfect listening for anyone making the trip down to Yeovil this afternoon. In this clip, Ian argues that the timing may not be ideal - but we have to trust the process by which Hayden Mullins has been appointed. #ncafc 🧡🖤

And in the meantime, if anyone's going to Yeovil tomorrow and wants to be our match reviewer, drop us a line. Newbies welcome, it's dead easy. #ncafc 🧡🖤

The emergency pod to discuss the Hayden Mullins appointment is recorded! It'll be edited and in your podcast feeds and on YouTube by the time you wake up, you lucky little buggers. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Go and get the "Utter woke nonsense" gif out of the car. #ncfc 🧡🖤

We asked our #ColU counterparts for their view of County's new gaffer. As you'd expect, it's pretty critical - but worth remembering the context of the wider problems they had at the time. We'll record an 🚨Emergency Pod🚨 later to give our balanced take on the appointment. #ncafc 🧡🖤
