There was precious little to cheer for the travelling Newcastle fans who made the 570-mile round trip to watch their side get pasted by Chelsea in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday afternoon.
Indeed, shortly after the Toon fell 3-0 down to 72nd-minute Marcos Alonso freekick, one intrepid supporter took it upon himself to buoy his wandering brethren’s spirits with a high-octane stunt in the upper tier…
Plenty of entertainment in the away end whilst being 3-0 down today 😂 #nufc pic.twitter.com/vfkIcs5hls

Definitely worth a round of applause. Unfortunately, at least according to a few social media accounts, the fan was immediately ejected from the ground by the Chelsea stewards after completing his dramatic descent.
Oh well, it’s not like he missed anything important.
