Newcastle United (A) - Post-Match Thread

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?

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

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

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.

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

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 ;-)

Then it would be both
