[Albion] The Newcastle draw thread

[MattBackHome]

Not a good performance, lucky to get a point IMO

 

[tigertim68]

A bit like the first half performances against Spurs and City, but unlike those games we didn’t improve in the second half and probably just about deserved a point

 

[HeaviestTed]

Very happy with a point, but considering the game position and defensive performance, that's 2 dropped I'm afraid.


Question for those that watched on TV, was there a foul for the freekick leading to the converted pen?

Heard rumours that the FK shouldn't have been given.

Looked like another dive to me, shouldn’t have been a free kick

 

[HeaviestTed]

I went for 2 dropped, because within sight of the winning line we yet again make a rookie.

And it’s about time our fan base fecking expects more and drops the small club happy with winning best pie, fax machine and community tree planted mentality, and instead starts going APOPLECTIC at our players every time we do this each week!

Tbh it isn’t me, I prefer to be happy than miserable and angry.

How would you assess that?

Newcastle are a bunch of diving cheating wankers, and Pawson fell for most of it.

Burn should have been booked for the foul on Minteh at the start, and that would have made the game difficult for Burn.

Wieffer's first yellow was following a foul that shouldn't have been given. The calls for a second was pathetic cheating from Newcastle, Mats won the ball and there's was nothing bad in the follow through, but the cheat Tonali rolled around pretending to be hurt when he wasn't, while every single Newcastle player tried to get the ref to book Wiefer. Wiefer had to be subbed for that.

The penalties
Their first shout was a dive by Gordon. There was minimal contact from Minteh, it wasn't even a foul.
Pillock was righty booked for the dive leading to their second.
O'Riley's was the closest thing to a penalty, but not given. If I was in VAR I wouldn't want to overturn it either way, but I think it's about 60:40 in favour of a penalty.
And the last one was from a free-kick which should never have been given. Van Hecke's leg was outstretched on the floor, and Barnes dived to the floor. It wasn't a foul.

Newcastle are a bunch of cheats and Pawson wasn't good enough to realise.

Newcastle have caught up with Villa and the Arse for cheating. Diving, feigning injury etc.

Their fans on the bus admitted this. That it's just part of their play now

 

[Hometownglory]

They are a good side but conceding a pen in the 89th and Gomez missing that free header means it's two lost for me.

I dunno, I've managed to support my football club from the depths of 91st in the football league, into divs 3,2,1 and top 10 in the premier league, and then into Europe - and done it without once going APOPLECTIC at our players.

So, yeah, you can achieve more without acting like a total asshole

I think you’ve taken things a little too seriously.

I think you’ve taken things a little too seriously.

Have I? I've read several of your posts in the last 24 hours and they are all very much of the same theme. If its comedy, then its very deep....

It’s neither but you’ve taken things a bit too literally and seriously. Despite the clues and none bigger than me telling you also you just want to hate. Do carry on.
