I really didn't expect to be doing this for this long, right. Alex Isaks dutchman twisting, ange-ball battering, well rested Mags vs ...Who the fuck is Oliver Glasner?! Err, Crystal Palace

They deserved to win but I felt we were denied a penalty- dunno how it looked on the replay but in real time I was sure VAR would overturn it

On the replay it also looked like VAR would overturn it.

I think he felt the touch and went down. I bet he has a shit reputation with the referees. I think there have been at least two other similar incidents this season (Liverpool away and Milan away that I can recall)z 

 

i felt like he could have stayed on his feet but it’s probably still enough for a penalty. I can see why the ref thought it was soft in real-time. 
 

anyway, we deserved to lose so I’m at peace this morning. That team was a Bruce team. Hopefully Eddie goes back to 4 at the back now.

As if Salah and co stay on their feet if that happens to them! :lol: We know they don't and we know what happens next. Longstaff and NUFC don't have the fear factor that the likes of Klopp and Liverpool do. It's not corruption but it's an unconscious bias/fear that discriminates against the non-sky faves.

^ This 100%

 

Jota went down 5 minutes after the miniscule of touches against us and he still got a pen, it's fucking laughable.

Of course he could have stayed on his feet, the only tackles where you can't are brutal and almost never occur in the box. You have to go down in a scenerio like that to rightfully get the penalty. Usually anyway. He was right to go down but he has to be the least convincing player when going down under contact and it's reflected in how rarely he wins free kicks. I believe it's because he's fundamentally slow, so falling over always seems delayed. We need to get Jonas in to teach him, he was the best I've seen at Newcastle at winning free-kicks.
