Newcastle United (A) - Post-Match Thread

[WNRH]

Wasn’t a pen, no goalscoring opportunity was prevented illegally. Those who think it was need to learn the rules

So Ederson headbuts Wilson whilst waiting for a corner, no penalty?

 

[LongsightM13]

Ask him was it boring when United were winning 13 Prem titles out of 20.

Or when they put nine past Ipswich
Just another rag hypocrite crying because his life will never be like it used to be ever again

 

[zandvoort blue]

Fraser had the opportunity to avoid the challenge but chose to change the angle of his run to ensure there was contact

 

[Blue and true]

If Ederson deliberately brough him down it was a Pen, doesn't matter how far away the ball is and he was the nearest Newcastle player to the ball. I think they didn't give it as it was an off the ball coming together with both players carrying on natural momentum and no foul by either.

Fair one. It can be looked at both ways I suppose. One of those scenarios where there will always be a grey area.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Get the “league isnt as strong as it used to be” a lot. Only from United fans as they can’t accept that we may just be better than them in their pomp.

Yeah I hear that as well...Funny that, I don't recall Fulham Everton, Aston Villa ect spening £100m plus back in those days!

If the ball is not in play its a red card but no penalty

What if the ball is in play?

Probably the strongest premier league ever. Even Norwich and Watford have much bigger budgets than the vast majority of La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga

That penalty decision - if that happened in another part of the pitch, say mid-field, would the ref have blown for a foul and free kick ? No, because Cancelo had won the ball, was in total control of the ball, and play had transitioned to the next phase. Once the ball had gone out of play he might have gone back and booked the player for his challenge but he would have let play go on. It was effectively an 'off the ball' incident.

Plus, I doubt Ederson would be that far out of his goal ;-)

 

[LongsightM13]

What if the ball is in play?

Then it would be both

 

[WNRH]

Then it would be both

So today was a pen then?

 

[eversince 76]

Think Newcastle tried for45 minutes. As did their fans. Somehow strange what happened during and after half time.

Let’s see if the media finally prints we are the team to beat. WE ARE the team to beat.

 

[Shaffer92]

When will the Afcon boys leave??

I would have thought play Boxing day or 27th then leave for Africa 10 days before 1st game

Surely that's got to make a big big difference

damn. forgot Mahrez is leaving us.

 

[LongsightM13]

Are you mistaking me for someone who was arguing with you?
Wouldn’t have been outraged at all if it was given but I can also see why they didn’t give it

No I’m genuinely asking as they change the rules so much I don’t know what’s current anymore. I thought Liverpools second goal today was handball but Salah but apparently not.

 

[domalino]

I think if we can win all our games up to Arsenal, we might be clear of Liverpool too.

Chelsea and Liverpool both play each other on Jan 2.

We absolutely need to keep winning throughout Xmas.

The Premier League has had a pretty simple formula since Pep/Conte arrived.

You beat the old record of 13 wins in a row and you win the league. Winning 1/3rd of the league season on the bounce is just too much for other teams to keep up with, they fall behind, a points gap is established and it's almost impossible to catch up.

Chelsea 16/17 - 13
City 17/18 - 18
City 18/19 - 14
Liverpool 19/20 - 18
City 20/21 - 13
City 21/22 - 8*

If we beat Leicester, Brentford, Arsenal, Chelsea and Southampton, the league is over, we'll be 10 points ahead.

Well that’s deliberately endangering an opponent, that’s a whole different ball game

 

[domalino]

damn. forgot Mahrez is leaving us.

I genuinely don't think we'll miss him.

Not because he's not brilliant, but we've barely played Jesus on the wing or Foden.

Torres will probably be back as well, I'm very doubtful Barca are going to cough up the necessary amount before deadline day, so he'll be there for most of it.

Foul is

foul law says careless or reckless is a foul. On out reason I can think as to why it wasn’t given was cancello had ball so another phase of play
