Yep, fucking sick of it all, Rafas got nothing to prove to fucking idiots man.

Thing is theres no pressure from above for referees to get the right decisions, its more about protecting the star players/teams and promoting the PL brand in the eyes of Scudamore et al so its easy for referees to fuck teams like us over

Another shit decision

Ref can't wait to give them every decision ffs.

Great ball from Rondon.

Theres clearly a massive media agenda against him, all funded by KBA no doubt.

I'm in also.

Steve Howey gets it...putting things across really well on Sky here. He should be a fans spokesman tbh

Well that was even worse than expected tbh. A few radom thoughts: Don't blame Perez for going radge, the amount of appalling decisions we are on the end of regularly is a joke. Imagine the fuss Man Utd/Liverpool/most teams players would make over things as blatant as that. Rondons goal; none of our other strikers are capable of a finish like that, which in itself shows how weak our options there are. If Dubravka gets a serious injury I'm putting my house on us going down. The players look as pissed off/dejected as the fans, not a good sign. Our squad quality is absolutely woeful. Thanks Mike. When you're being outspent by Championship clubs, its no surprise when they beat you.

Nice to see Darlows improving...fucking hell. And to think some of our fans thought both him and Elliot were good enough, beyond words man.

People moaning about Rafas tactics can enjoy next season with some muppet in charge playing 'front foot football' and losing 4-0

You do know how Chelsea scored their goals right? The tactics worked ffs, not Rafa's fault the ref is shite/bent. But that’s exactly my point, if your under that pressure for so long, someone will make a mistake. They aren’t robots. If park the bus was effective a lot more teams would just use that every time. No one did, OK maybe for the 2nd goal but that was after we switched. The 1st goal was a shite decision and a mistake by a shite ref, not any of our players or tactics. Tackling the player in a scissor motion in the box was definitely a mistake like. Even the ref may make a mistake. It’s why pure park the bus is stupid for me. This result was always going to happen, as soon as I seen the line up and tactics. Oh ffs, it wasn't a scissors tackle, aye it looks like one but his left leg never touches Alonso. The tactics didn't cost us the game, the ref did imo, and our poorness in the 2nd goal. Exactly, also if you look really closely Alsonso is holding the defenders arm so could give us a free kick for that even people will see what they want to see to a certain extent in situations like that and all the cunts at Sky are generally against us.

If it had gone against Chelsea I can guarantee they would be saying different. Yep, the level of punditry in this country is beyond a fucking joke.

They're actually saying its now a penalty ffs

The lack of quality in our squad is shocking though, it really is. We're going to be involved in a lot of tight games because of Rafa's organisation basically, but we can't do anything if we keep getting shit decisions like that go against us.

I love how Skys roundup before the adverts showed Yedlins supposed foul before our goal but nothing about their bent decisions..expect them to gloss over it all in the studio

A minimum of 5 minutes added :lol:

Yep, pretty sickening really.

What were people saying about the system again? Believe in Rafa ffs

The problem is the quality of our squad tbh.

Usual service resumed to us from officials eh

They're all saying roughly the same things because thats what they're being paid to say, its so transparent by this stage its actually funny

Bishops paid stooges chatting shite in the Sky studio as usual.

same Impressive defensive display I'm not used to from Newcastle Especially considering the new faces at the back too.

Yep, same here.
