There's a lot of other teams that would love to pay him more than 200k per week tbf. He's irreplaceable for us.

Or if we hadn't been robbed in a couple of games

We don't have enough creativity to break any team down that sits back, it's too easy to play against us at the moment. Also, the whole team looked so flat today, are they still mourning or something.

Feels like we are cursed lately, it really does.

How did they manage to raise exactly £200,000 to the penny? Not a little more or less. Seems a very specific (and unlikely) number to me.

If there were conversations taken about it, it should have taken a few seconds to decide that it's not a good idea. No need for further conversations surely.

I didn't even know Darlow was injured. Ah well, one of our keepers was destined to get injured after we let Dubravka leave, just lucky it wasn't Pope.

Get in

I'm thoroughly enjoying this

We live in hope.

Championship finishing rather than Champions League. Fuck sake.

Just turned the Liverpool game on, hope they get royally fucked over by the officials.

I'm not worried in the slightest he'd leave us for the England job. I trust he has much more sense than to do something so silly

I read it's being investigated by the authorities and the players involved have been sacked by the club https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/62813379

I guess this has probably already been posted somewhere: Looks like an honest mistake to me

There couldn't be a worse game for us after the recent disgraceful decisions conning us out of points...West Ham away. If any team is gonna suffer from refereeing/VAR decisions against them in this game, it won't be the home team. I'm expecting the worst already tbh.

It's not incompetence. If it was then the same proportion of ridiculous decisions would go against the top 6. It's something else entirely.

No-one is that shit. Ours and the West Ham one that I've just seen can't be explained by anything other than corruption/conscious bias.

Agree, but we're damned if we do and damned if we don't aren't we, as staying quiet and just taking it isn't gonna change anything either.

A very quick search of "Lee Mason NUFC" brings up a few interesting hits: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/former-referee-berates-lee-mason-18512394 https://www.geordiebootboys.com/opinion/lee-mason-branded-a-disgrace-by-newcastle-fans-after-shocking-performance-against-everton/ https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1097957/Newcastle-news-Everton-Jordan-Pickford-Red-Card-Premier-League Seems he likes to fuck us over at any given opportunity.

They say these things even themselves out over a season, but they absolutely do not. They never have. We've been on the end of some shocking officiating that's cost us multiple points already this season. We should have a sweepstake on what it will be next week.

There needs to be cameras in the VAR room so the public can hear the discussions they are having around these things. I bet today it went along the lines of "how can we fuck Newcastle over.." Almost as if Hairy Hands and Olly Holt were making the call. Wouldn't surprise me if a large percentage of referees have the same type of biased opinions as those cunts. Or if it's only one guy then there needs to be at least 2. That was beyond a bad call, corruption is the more likely cause of something that ridiculous.

More angry than the other night. Can't believe that's even possible, but we were robbed.

I wish someone would run on the pitch and twat the officials. It's the least the cunts deserve.
