BlackandWhite

I am hoping for some good news still, but it looks bleak. Very doubtful anyone could have survived that. Such a tragedy and yet another example of how fragile life is.

2-1 defeat.

Do that and risk getting a clip off a fellow Sunderland fan?! Nar, not a chance! It’s embarrassing how many times it has happened this season and it has to stop! I wouldn’t do it but I can kind of understand why some went to the Burton game at their place last season when they were relegated but random matches at the start of the season wearing NUFC tops? Absolutely ridiculous! Aye no other rival club would ever do it. Really sad. And these are grown men. Couldn’t make it up.

Give the level of sadness we’ve seen on RTG (made up profiles with ‘Fan In Peace’ posts for example) it wouldn’t surprise me if those were Sunderland fans who threw on Newcastle tops in what was merely an attempt to make us look bad.

Used always be up for watching our games, cheering goals, etc. Not anymore. Sick of the same old shite year after year. Until Ashley is gone I feel like I am done with this club. Nothing good will ever come of it while Fatman is here.

Any decent squad and Rafa’s tactics would have been fine and we would have held out. But this is a championship quality squad. It going to be another surprise to see them stay up. I mean Diame in Centre midfield ffs.

The most Newcastle thing in the history of Newcastle things to fuck up like this.

As long as Ashely is here it is only a matter of when not if we get relegated again. Even if we somehow manage to stay up this season we’ll be back starting at square one next season again and for every season until we get the relegation we’d deserve. I have lost a lot of interest after that woeful summer. There is just no hope for anything and nothing get excited for. Maybe others will beg to differ, but being knocked out of the first round of cups and aiming for 17th doesn’t fill me with excitement. At least back in the day if we had a shite season there was a least a little hope at the start of the season that we could do alright. No such hope exists anymore. All that exists now is fear of another relegation and I am sick of that.

And the funniest part is we did enjoy Burton having beaten them twice. While these fuckers got relegated off them and then lost to them today in the third division Who is laughing now hey.

It’s a new football low this for them, even by their standards.

Hahaha that is funny. What a sad twat. Pathetic man, perfect fit for a pathetic excuse of a football club.

Usual fucking of us in the arse from the match officials then. Standard of refereeing in the country is beyond pathetic.

If Rotherham can get out of that league at the first try then anybody can. It is awful.

Some of the reds shown already this season are really disheartening to me. It is fast becoming a contactless sport. Soon any form of slide tackle will be subject to a red. I am a big fan of a good slide tackle but they are dying a slow death it is sad to say.

Completely forgot these pricks were even playing today. They have truly become irrelevant.

Everyone (outside of Nufc fans) keeps mentioning that 144m interest free loan while ignoring the hundreds of millions of pounds worth of free advertising he’s got for sports direct down the years. Just look at our stadium. Sports direct is plastered everywhere ffs he even named the stadium after his company for a year. Unbelievable. But it shows that he can be gotten to though as that action cleared pissed him off.

Nevertheless it isn’t the most convincing win ever. Needing a last minute winner against half of a league one team given they are missing half their squad.

Was bound to happen.

Mega harsh pen. The law says deliberate handball. How has he deliberately struck the ball with his hand there? 5 twats in the studio and 4 on the field and they can’t make the fair and correct decision. And then Griezman with a blatant dive for the first goal, too. Where was VAR there? Embarrassing.

He is getting more credit than what is due because of a very favorable World Cup that has been kind in my opinion. Had the Belgium result been reversed it would have been bye bye after playing Brazil imo. Only really played 3 decent teams in the tournament lost 2 and scraped past the other on penos.

The laws also say the keeper can't hold the ball for more than 6 seconds. And that keepers are only allowed move side to side on exactly the goal line (and not an inch further forward until the exact moment the ball is struck) from penalties. But let's be honest. Some of these so called 'laws' like that are really just principles.

Him throwing himself to the ground is technically nothing to do with it. He was being held with both hands. It’s shit but it’s the laws of the game. It is nonsense. If somebody is leaning into you like Nigeria player was to him obviously you want to keep him away from you. The same way a basic trip where the player stays on his feet is technically a foul but never given as a peno a player having his hands on somebody leaning into him shouldn't be penalized in the box either. It encourages strikers to deliberately wind defenders up and look for the opportunity to throw themselves to the ground and get a harsh peno. You don't want to see unsportsmanlike that and we should want to discourage it.

Agree the player threw himself to the ground. VAR has only made match officials an ever bigger laughing stock.

A clear onside for Spain but that is the thing it is so inconsistent. When Spain needed it, it was used. When Morocco did, it wasn’t. Pique seems to be VAR proof as he got away with a two foot off the ground tackle and a blatant handball just outside the penalty area. VAR is inconsistent and slows the game down too much. A good 10 minutes of that Portugal game was taken up by VAR. Sure it sucks when refs get things but they are human not robots it will just have to be accepted. Besides they don’t get that many decisions wrong when it comes to the big games. A few ones like the infamous Lampard one of 2010 but not that many.

Hahaha. Been owned by Wigan fans and players! They’re a true laughing stock.
