What a beautiful goal that was

VAR should have the ability to pull the ref as well. If something as obvious as that is referred back to them and they still get it wrong then correct the decision and send them down the tunnel. Effectively a red card offense being so incompetent.

An absolute brain explosion from butter fingers and yet somehow his team gain a massive advantage from his instinctive cheating.

Officials trying to make up for the clerical error when we had an opposing player sent off a few weeks back despite the by-law that states anything goes against Newcastle.

Whoever said cheaters never prosper clearly hasn't met Pickford and Mason.

Good on Schar, he's been fouled to fuck continually then these two fuckwads rolling around on the floor like a pair of toddlers having a strop. Do you think the referees review the first half during the break? Wonder how he could explain that decision? No doubt at some point we'll hear from a washed up ex-ref as to why it was the correct decision.

Fuck off Lee Mason. He's proved he has cards, so no excuse for forgetting the rules of the game with the Pickford tackle. Also Perez could have gone to ground in the bix there, clear contact from behind before he shot. Would probably have been given a yellow for simulation the way this game is going...

The commentator just said in the same breath he thinks it should have been a "yellow and not a red" for pickford for his "clear rugby tackle". Fucking moron.

I'm officially going to be pissed off with everything that happens in this game now.

Fucking joke that. Jammy cunts.

Fucking knew he would save it too, absolute bullshit that, he didn't even get a card.

If pickford doesn't see red here it's a farce, he rugby tackled Rondon!

Thought that was a retirement gathering for Cacapa?

A period out seems to work well to refocus his discipline on the pitch. Ability wise he's very talented but Rafa is right to make him continually earn a spot on the teamsheet. He won't sell him becauae he knows the money won't be reinvested.

Hopefully it's largely precautionary. Typical Newcastle United to find a way to temper any period of positivity.

To make matters worse Longstaff came off due to a knee injury he sustained in that 50/50 challenge. Apparently left the ground on crutches.

Yeah, terrible game, we got the ball into dangerous positions routinely but never really looked like scoring.

Good centre for Rondon from him there.

And he doesn't dally in making a decision. Always decisive and always moves after passing. Well coached, intelligent player.

In a game where our end product has been sub-standard here comes Atsu...

Harper then?

Almiron's attack minded passing is impeccable, always the perfect weight on the ball. Impressive.

He does. I like him but it's like Pardew's tactic of hitting Williamson from corners. It literally never works and yet he sticks with it.

Ayoze for Muto at some point soon, he'll be eager to impress. So glad we don't have Joselu on the bench.

Absolute gilt edged chance that one.
