How is VAR taking more than two seconds to check that?

Haha yep. ‘How the fuck did those cunts get anything there?’ must have been heard after every Bruce / McClaren etc etc NUFC point

Yep, it’s easy to forget just how much work there is in turning around Ashley’s final (and broken) NUFC squad

Burn’s brain fart not punished :/

It’s a new phase of play for me. We’ll get an apology off the PL in a month or two. The issue is that as soon as VAR calls the ref, that’s it. They don’t have the bollocks to reject the VAR call.

additional - the offside seemed to be given when Isak plays it, and Longstaff is in an offside position. But I’d argue he isn’t interfering with play until the Forest player plays it back to him

The ball needs to be played by a teammate. Unless they’ve changed the law

Being fucked out of this by shit refs. Forest away for you

Played by the Forest player. Still struggling to see how that is offside

Fuck me

I’m lost on this one. Wtf?

YES GET IN THERE KIDDA LOVELY BY ISAK

It’s like an N64 has created it

I think Lodi holds his face when his pedicurist cuts a toenail too short

Four Geordies in the side now (ok, Murphy’s mam is. But he’d be eligible to play for the People’s Republic of Northumberland should we ever decide to vote for independence)

I think the backline’s currently regular brain farts aren’t helping on that front either

I’m a Willock fan - he’s a really good PL midfielder, bags of talent, works his bollocks off. If he could remember how to finish (we’ve seen that he can do it) he’d genuinely have a chance of making an England squad

I think Murphy has been ok tbf - but I’m probably assessing him on what he’s capable of more than owt else

I love the fact that the lad just knows to put the ball back across the goal for the finish. Mediocre finishers just hit that finish forwards in the direction of where the GK is heading. Love it - ‘shin finish’ or not, that’s fucking lovely

Beauty! I fucking love this lad

They have to let the ‘phase of play’ play out before flagging - effectively, let play continue until the chance is over. It’s an instruction rather than incompetence (everything else on display is incompetence)

Howe needs to tell these lads to actually shoot when you have the opportunity. Constantly trying to walk it in. The only one who shoots is Longstaff, who ironically is the one who should pass in those positions.

?

Fuck fuck fuck

Our back line has gone from being solid to pants-shitting every time the ball goes over the halfway line. And of course he’s booked Burn for nowt
