Deliberately misleading for outsiders and for people who know better but want to delude themselves. Makes us look hard as fuck on the other hand I suppose.

Football dead again is it? Cos something happened that might help Newcastle? I was amused by the the fourth top thread 'Dennis Waterman MLF?' though.

I like how it took a single Newcastle goal for 50years of reality to finally kick in.

We had a 4-5' VAR wait + the mackems had a red-card and a penalty that I imagine took some time to sort Sheffield United had a massive wait for to take their penalty

Luton manager is at least as entitlted to kick off about this as much as Arteta but wont could well cost them a place in the PL in the end, Arsenal weren't getting near to Man City for the title

Liverpool used to struggle there the last time Luton were in the top flight. Even after the plastic pitch went....though they had Souness by then so hardly a fair gage.

They've dropped at the most one point to at best the sort of controversial decision all non-elite clubs have had go against them a few times a season. The disproportionate way they're going on about it just embelishes the fact more and more the more they go on. We sent a letter in after a string of decisions like that last season.

Yeah foul or not he should be getting his arse kicked for how weak he was in that situation, cant take chances of getting a free-kick when its a certain goal for the opposition if its not given.

Admire his balls, or perhaps later, for playing in the circumstances. Testament to the character of the individual and group as am sure he'll have put himself forward rather than being forced out there.

I do. Just nice for any of them that went through the horribleness here to get these moments. Especially if they half hoped they'd be getting them when signing. Obviously his attitude must be sound behind the scenes which earns it too. Really cementing that group feel all these games and injuries, though less of the latter woudl be lovely.

the return of the king

You could disallow most goals that have ever been scored by applying modern rules/forensics to them. Maradona's great goal against England, in hurdling someone he had both feet of the ground - dangerous play.

= Definitely never used to be, now fuck knows. Would negate squaring a ball for a tap in to someone. The defenders could just play off-side and the guy would have to score from a tight angle by himself as anything else would be off-side.

Andy Gray's machine from 1997 (or FIFA 98) would be able to tell definitively if that ball was over or not from the above angle shot. So you see the sphere of the ball rather than judging it on the base. Weird if they haven't got the tech in VAR to do that now when it was available that long back.

Roker Magic: of course it is. Its just a hell of a lot of Sunderland fans will argue that Newcastle fans are obsessed with us when we are just as obsessed with them. I cant be arsed to go and look on their forum but it would be interested to see how many replies there are on our match threads"

Yeah, generally they bring good support in numbers but lame support in nosie whatever game unfolds. Similar numbers of fans from Man U, Liverpool, Leeds the same just cant be said of.

^ my heart and spincther

So much effort from us, be gutting just for them nevermind meself

Used up 3 VAR get out of jail cards in one go there worrying will pay for that down the line

The infamous Atari game?

The goal at Sheffield United when Gordon just kept it in looked out, so that's a wait and see, they must know

5' to give the decision that he would have gave anyway, that's progress

Glad VAR has ended the days when referees would make amends for poor decisions against a team by giving a soft one.

never getting that like last year the wait will help quell the momentum nicely for them

ffs here we go CSI VAR
