I agree with Pardew, Lopez didn't help matters by rolling around, it was a foul but never a second yellow.

if you saw the first one from behind it was a deliberate kick to the back of the ankle. Nasty and petulant. The secind was no less so.
Ameobi spent the whole game kicking and pushing opponents no matter where the ball was (and it was rarely anywhere near him). I know el abd wound him up but in addition to the bookings the ref spoke to him on at least three other occasions to cool it.
Unprofessional.

It wasn't great from Lopez, but I didn't see the sending off as a game changer. There was only ever going to be one winner yesterday. The Red should is recinded, and Lopez given a yellow for simulation (though the latter will never happen)

Agreed that it wasn't a game changer, and to be fair I was more concerned when they went to 10 as we had the measure of them and I was concerned about them changing shape and nicking something as often happens.
It's just the theatrics that leave a nasty taste.

There was contact, he got a dead leg. The only thing you could criticize him for is wanting to see if Ameobi got a second yellow, and even then it's not uncommon, he was just very unsubtle about it very close to a TV camera.
The two yellows were not for crunching tackles, but they were for cynical, lazy, clumsy, slow, late challenges. And both qualified for yellows in my opinion, although you would not always see both given.

There was contact. So why on EARTH are you going to give Lopez a yellow card for simulation.
The rule is to simulate a feigned challenge. He didn't, he just made the most of a challnge, of which there was one, and there was contact.

Hey every one hates it when teams come to the Amex and play dirty, I.e. diving!!
People say : why is poyet so clean,
Well done Lopez u might have made meal of it, but its a tactical game and its bout time brighton played dirty..
Now if Newcastle done that, which they do, pardaw do justify it... He's a nob like fergie!!

He caught him late. A player of Ameobi's experience should know better. It didn't look great from Lopez but he was clearly caught badly as he continued limping for 5 minutes after getting treatment.
Hammond showed how to play with a yellow card. He was booked in the first half hour and I don't think he committed a foul after that but still competed well in midfield. A player of Ameobi's experience should know better and Pardew should look at that rather than slating Lopez.

Stop bloody moaning!
Pardew's got a bit of cheek moaning.
If memory serves me correct, I remember a certain Dave Kitson having a handball goal allowed for Reading a few years back at Withdean.
Didn't hear Pardew moan about that one.

To be fair, the last 3 games i've seen It's happened now (I cant remember further back than that, worrying).
Milwall, James Henry (I think) dived down in the North East corner of the ground.
Ipswich, Lee Martin dived, in fact he did it twice, and even he thought he was being sent off for the second having been booked already for a challenge on Lopez.
Yesterday, David Lopez does it. To be fair though, there was an incident in the first half where El-Abd stuck out a leg, and Obertan stayed on his feet (in the box). Me and my old man both said at the exact same time, if he'd have gone down it would've been a penalty, so fair play to him.

Agreed it wasn't a game changer. If anything, Newcastle had their best spell with 10 men. However, as others have said below, you can't book for simulation when Lopez was fouled. He made the most of the challenge but it was definitely a booking and a silly challenge from Ameobi (you can't recind a 2 yellow card sending off even if it was wrong - which it wasn't)

Probably a foul but it was embarrassing watching him roll over and over on the telly. Footballers are such a bunch of girls sometimes. I wish they'd all man up a bit.
Didn't affect the result anyway; we were cruising when it was 11 v 11. If anything Newcastle looked more dangerous with 10 men.
