Newcastle Utd (H) Post Match Thread

[Big Joe Corrigan]

See previous replies. The ball wasn't in play.

The laws of the game are readily accessible on the FA website, folks.

Some of the referees could do with reading them.

We won't mess up now, no chance.
I thought we defended well, even in the 2nd half. Ferna can do a great job for us, don't forget he played a few games last year for us.
All the more important we convert chances when they come, like yesterday but obviously we need to make sure we are tight at the back. For the West Ham game I would put Rodri at CB and Ferna in midfield as they can be quite physical.

I hope and pray that you are right

dont feed him on raz

Fantastic performance from City

De Bruyne was at his brilliant best. To suggest he is over the hill and should be replaced by Ward Prowse like someone did in the embarrassing post Madrid thread is stupid and disrespectful. I agree with spitty, in that he is our best ever player

Both fullbacks were superb and posed a huge threat to Newcastle

Nice to see Sterling get two goals. I worry though that his body language after he scored means he is leaving in the summer.

I thought Grealish had a better game ,but he must look to make runs into the box , like Sterling and Foden do

The fifth goal was a thing of beauty. Lovely back heel by Foden

I'm really concerned about our lack of fit centrebacks. It would be intolerable if we lost the league at the last to them cunts

Spot on but not sure about the username!

Re-watched the game last night with the Sky commentary. Gos it was awful but did make me laugh somewhere after about 85mins when Tiresome Tyler uttered "this performance has stopped us talking about the Madrid game" after talking about nothing else all match.

Holding an opponent
Referees are reminded to make an early intervention and to deal firmly with
holding offences, especially inside the penalty area at corner kicks and free
kicks. To deal with these situations:
• the referee must warn any player holding an opponent before the ball
is in play
• caution the player if the holding continues before the ball is in play
• award a direct free kick or penalty kick and caution the player if it
happens once the ball is in play

Full quote from Pep

Pep Guardiola: It is natural that everyone supports Liverpool, as they have a great history behind them in European competitions, but not in the Premier League, because they have won the league once in the last thirty years

hahahaha

I remember the mickeys getting giddy when they won the *league.
How they were going to dominate for the next 1,000 years or so.
(At least Danny Murphy was convinced!)
Funny how things turn out...

This is you and I claim my £5.

i'd take pogba on a free but no way would he be on the same as our top earners, he'd have to do a season first to prove his worth

Could Pogbad be signed on the basis that he only gets paid if he plays?
He would have to step up then.

I've not watched it back but IF Attwell blew for the corner to be taken I'd argue the ball would be deemed as in-play and if we fucked about taking it we could be booked for time wasting?

Slippy wants to be the next Dipper manager after Klopp, he’ll be out to show he’s capable

That is a very valid point.

 

[Grassland Blue]

As a Toon fan I " probably " speak for a lot of Toon fans. All we want is to get to a position where can play you and be competitive. Our games are uncompetitive and we have no chance of winning. IF we can buy quality - four or five quality players - over the next couple of transfer windows then maybe we can give you a game. Not going to mention your spending power because it's been done to death and frankly boring none the less, at least our owners can enable us to compete. Your football is fantastic to watch, and for many of us watching it's not jealousy, I for one think your great to watch, but even for you guys there is only 5 or 6 teams who can give you a game, we hope to be one of them

I hope that as many teams as possible can give us a game (except the 2 sky clubs).
What is the point in a 1 or 2 team league?
Anyway I hope that you get the players you want (not easy even with cash!) and thanks for helping us with our GD ; - )

It just feels like a 1,000 years when Murphy is talking

 

[Grassland Blue]

Not sure I've understood you correctly, but if we win our last 3 then goal difference won't matter at all.

Win 2 and draw 1.

Ball was dead so whilst a yellow or red card could be issued a penalty can't, basic LOTG

Is the correct answer. Being an ex-ref and actually doing this, nothing wrong with the ref blowing to start play, watch the infringement and then give a pen, especially if its persistent infringement.

• the referee must warn any player holding an opponent before the ball

• caution the player if the holding continues before the ball is in play
• award a direct free kick or penalty kick and caution the player if it

So if a player makes a run into the penalty area at a corner/throw, in anticipation of the corner/throw being taken quickly and is held a direct free or penalty cannot be given.

I have seen lots of players make runs to get on the end of quick free kicks etc, they start the run before the kick is taken. If a player is fouled before the kick is taken, it should be penalised as preventing a goal scoring opportunity. The attacking team should not be penalised by not being given the penalty or free kick.

If Rodri had been fouled as he started his run to meet the corner for our third goal, before Debruyne took the kick, the referee could have blown to book the player and the goal would not have stood?
