I’m not sure why he didn’t play, he made 18 appearances in his first season, then 17 then 14. He never played a large part in their season

Newcastle’s equaliser, two years ago, at the Amex. It had more deflections and rebounds (I exaggerate!) than a pinball machine.

Good call. That was indeed RIDICULOUS.

That was the spawniest goal I've ever seen us concede.

come off it, he allowed a goal that would embarrass a Sunday league player, and deserves criticism for that. he'd done most the hard work, blocking the player then gave up. simple rule to play to the whistle, while ball is in play battle for it. thought he was OK otherwise (very good interception), though not probably good enough for Premier league.

My first thought, watching on tv, was that the ball had gone out over the goal, and curved back in. Obviously the tv camera was filming it at an angle, and you'd hope the linesman would have spotted it, but I can see how the players would've been fooled. Even after the replay, I wasn't sure it hadn't gone over.

I don't think it could have gone out, as it glances of the face of the crossbar before their player 'tucked' it home

He reminds me of Lewis Dunk when he first started getting first team appearances. Clearly talented but prone to some real howlers. suspect that these will be ironed out as he gets more appearances.

Surely the Palace goal should stand him in good stead for this season, at least.
It can't have gone out and curved back in, given where it was played from (pic 1 below).
I think Balogun just thought, given his position pretty much on the goal line, (pic 2) that the ball was heading out...
...but the ball dropped almost straight down, so remained in (pic 3)
These pictures are pretty damning regards Button's contribution.
Comes and fails to reach the original cross, when had he stayed put, he'd have had a simple task to gather the dropping ball.
And, having come (and failed to get there) look at the respective positions of him and Burn in pic 1, and how quickly Burn recovers to the goal line by pic 2, compared with the keeper.

And later on our lifetime chairman Solly March will be popping by.
PS his friend Jurgen who had been drifting away from our meetings wants to know if he’s still welcome .
That's a pretty poor analysis of what happened. When Burn jumped, he was heading towards the goal, while Button was heading away from the goal when he jumped. The second picture shows where they were once they'd landed, due to their momentum.
Sure Button could have either won the ball originally, or not gone for it, but having gone for it and missed he couldn't get back.
Once in the club, I believe it's a life membership, you're always welcome back.

Balogun clearly messed up but arguably Dan Burn should have headed it clear instead of onto the crossbar.

Indeed. Which is why I had no time whatsoever for whinging Geordies who moaned about their terrible luck when it came to our goal at St James's Park this season. Suck it up. Rafa.
Yeah, he's back to the goal and 1.5 yards further from it than Burn, so Burn was going to get to the goal line first.

That means the original founding president and historic inspirational role-model, who was taken from us in his prime, will be welcome back to the Amex this Saturday.
