Kid Icarus

That's still insane like. That's 40 fucking years.

Did I hear the commentator right..."Man United haven't lost after going ahead in a league game at Old Trafford since 1984" !?! Surely I misheard or that's a lie.

Losing 2 massive games to ETH is sackable imo

You just sound mental

And here are the sheep

Ironically people like you all sound the same when you use that word.

Under pressure my arse. 

The big calls tonight for me were Joelinton and Pope and you're ultimately defined by the result regardless of which decision you make. Pope especially should have been a no-brainer if he's fit.

Harsh to say, but Trippier has repeatedly sabotaged Newcastle this season 

Aye it's mad but he has. Although you can throw Dubravka in tonight as well.

Still love him though. Trippier that is.

Extremely disappointing result obviously. A real shame after the flow we were in pre-Brighton that it's ended like this. 7th or 8th looking very likely now, which is still an achievement considering the difficulties of this season, but no less raw and disappointing.

Dubravka: 3.5

Trippier: 4.5

Krafth: 6

Burn: 6

Hall: 8.5

Bruno: 6.5

Longstaff: 5

Anderson: 6

Murphy: 6

Isak: 5

Gordon: 7.5

No keeper is good enough to have x-ray vision.

Not needed

It went through 3 or 4 of our players first...not easy for a keeper to see.

Easy for a good keeper. Pope 100% saves 2 and 3.

The first 2 goals weren't his fault

 

And he AND THE DEFENCE weren't good for the 3rd.

The 2nd went through his digestive system and out his arse. Anything that isn't directly shot at his arms has a very good chance of going in. 

There's your bad performance Eddie, get him out, as he should have been in the first place. 

Absolutely shocking.

What does he think has happened here...

 

I missed it right up until this angle like.

The set up looked completely off from the start. Shite performance ironically until we went behind. Better after it but still not good enough really, think the final balls have been good but noone in where you would expect.

That aside, usual fare with them getting every decision from the ref and being really unlikeable.

Aye they'll need to fill the unbearable cunt up with hot air again before his next outing.

See it feels the opposite to me, I feel like there's a dodgy decision almost every single game of football I watch. Aye it's nice when it goes in your favour, but even then I'm not sure it's worth it. 

Just in general or through VAR?

Ends the season with the KI award for highest match rating average. Well done Tino, your medal's in the post.

I don't believe anyone can watch a game of football and find it more enjoyable with VAR than without, and that's the crux of the issue really. There are so many issues with it that stand in the way of spectacle - not being able to celebrate goals, play being stopped for minutes on end while they go to the far end of a fart to try to find a reason to overturn something, and most importantly, blatantly incorrect decisions still being made at the end of it all anyway.

 

The human elements will never be removed for the majority of decisions. I'd rather the human element just be "referee or linesman fuck up", at least then you can say "well they only seen it once". It's far more annoying when they still fuck up having watched an incident 99 times over. 

 

Things like the pantomime of sending the ref to the screen, and the shit in-stadium communication make it even worse. 

 

If automated offside is fast and works well, then use that. Everything else, put in the bin. 

As a neutral definitely, but I find it more enjoyable when Newcastle aren't shafted by a shit decision because VAR comes to the rescue. It's not perfect, when wrong decisions are still made with VAR it's even worse, but it does feel rarer.

I'm pro VAR but the argument about it being human error that's the problem not VAR makes no sense.

There's no non-human VAR.

Gut feeling isn't great about this one.

Joelinton reducer in the first 5 mins. First one's free - smash. 

He's on the bench
