Decky

Maybe but it's not the main takeaway from this game. He should be explaining why we set up so defensively against a team with 2 points and why we looked like complete shit for the whole game. He's just going to focus on the VAR issues and hide from the real problems.

Blaming VAR.... Newcastle manager Steve Bruce to BBC Sport: "I've got no issues with the red card - we can't argue with that and you can't argue with how poor we are in the first half. "But the penalty baffles me. The referee got it spot on in real time. It hit [Fernandez's] hand but it's not intentional. It could have been a foul on him as well. "VAR is supposed to be for clear and obvious decisions. How someone 300 miles away on a TV screen can overturn it is beyond me. "You know when the referee goes to the screen it will be a penalty - it's pathetic. It's beyond me. "And then there's a horror challenge by Billy Sharp, that should be a straight red card. It's blatant. They didn't check it. It's laughable the whole VAR situation and I don't think anyone enjoys it. "I'm struggling to cope with it. Week in week out, it's ruining the game."

Easy to see why Bruce doesn't like Ryder. Fair play to him for sticking the boot in because very few people in the media will do it.

Can't blame him for anything when Bruce had the team set up to camp in our own half. Had we went out there attacking I'm sure he would have scored.

It's gonna annoy the fuck out of us when he blames it on the red card and the penalty despite us being shite for the entire 96 minutes.

He has to go now. Turning up with those tactics against a team with just 2 points and still fucking losing. Derby away under Fat Sam was one of the worst results I've seen since I supported us but this is just as bad if not worse. Our fixtures are horrible, we're going down unless we sack this fucking fraud. And the media can get fucked as well because no doubt they'll be out in their droves defending him.

We need to roll wuh sleeves up and get on with the business of the next game. Hopefully we can get something and shut a few people up.

Theres Bruce's excuse now despite us being utterly shit in the first half.

Fair play to the lad ringing in but he's wasting his time with these Bruce fanboys. They all love him and can't see him for the dog shit manager he is.

1 win in their last 8 league games and still just 3 points from the playoff places. That league is utter shite man.

Might not lose but we'll definitely not win and Bruce will mutter on about covid and the extra time tonight. All too predictable from this cunt. We're in deep shit if we lose this like.

100% man. Same shit as always.

Can't wait for him to use the late kickoff and the extra half hour as the excuse for losing to Sheffield United.

Is it fuck. I wish it was over.

Switched over to the Bayern game for a few mins and missed two goals in the Liverpool game ffs.

How has McClaren got 4 votes in there with that lot.

Only reason I don’t mention Carver is he wasn’t a proper manager imo. Bruce has managed in the top 2 leagues for two decades. What are you on about man sure he was the best manager in the Premier League at the time.

Anyone voting Bruce over Carver has a short memory.

Sheffield United are definitely getting their first win off this cunt. Might lump £100 on it but I'd probably get about £12 back.

Does the letter mention the Krays? That'd be a giveaway.

Who the fuck do you think you are?

One of my favourite players that should be one of the first names on the teamsheet. Yet when we have most of our defenders back he's one of the first dropped. Shameful.

Wait til you see the smugness of that horrible gravy drinking bastard now.

This will be ruined with his half time team talk. Get out there a shut a few people up.
