Newcastle United (A) | EFL Cup | Post Match Thread

The thing is with the offside, Haaland is standing half an inch offside but only because he's being held in place by Thiaw. He literally cannot move. He's only "interfering" because Thiaw is gripping his shirt to stop him from moving anywhere.

Offside because you measure it from Pope who is the 2nd player and not the defender. Whether that defender could get to the ball is irrelevent because Haaland is clearly preventing him from making the attempt. How long that decision took is ridiculous though.

We might not like it but them's the rules.
Didn't you see he had his hands round Haalands neck ?
 
Thing is the longer he goes without scoring the sooner he gets his next one, even on the law of averages. We know he can do nothing for 88 minutes and bag a couple of goals. How do you drop somebody who can do that?
Last few games any chances he’s not even connecting right. He’s hitting them into the ground or they’re coming off his studs, take a look back The lad needs a rest or a boot up the arse Doesn’t mean I don’t fkin love him
 
Great interview by Pep just now. He's had enough and called out the officiating in both games at Newcastle, and the FA Cup final.

Attwell has been involved in tonight, the Henderson handball at Wembley and the Rashford
Offside at Old Trafford. Bottom line that official is a ****.

Great to see our manager standing up and speaking out.
 
I kid you not, the sports news on bbc northwest,

Lead story, Rags appointing Carthorse as interim (big deal).

Second story and this is the graphic, (check out the time).

As Alan Partridge said, there are a lot of bitter bastards at the BBC

You've got to be one of life's proper dullards to think that was a correct and fair decision to disallow that goal.

Probably work in HR or IT..

Piss sitting down and wipe their bellend before flushing.
