Guest palnese Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It's hardly surprising that a man who uses a witch doctor isn't right in the head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It was a stupid wreckless challenge in the context of the derby and red was the only card that the ref was going to show. Should never have given him the chance with a challenge like that. The bloody whistle had gone already anyway and we were in total control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Had he meant he would have done him properly, the look of shock on Tiote's face at the red tells the story, he is a full blooded but honest player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That was never a red card although I can see why it was given and at the angle the ref saw it, it probably looked far worse than it actually was. For a start, he was chasing a moving bouncing ball while being man handled, his foot had to be raised if he was to make contact with that moving and bouncing ball. Unfortunately Fletcher was coming in fast and hard himself so contact was inevitable. There was no malice in it whatsoever though. It was a yellow, nothing more. That said, Tiote as important as he is, needs to calm the fuck down at times and show some composure otherwise he will never become a top top player. At the moment, in the heat of battle, he is as much as a liability as he is a match winner or key player and that's something we can ill afford. We need him to be our Colo there in midfield. Once the ref blew or he thought he was being fouled which he actually did, he should have just stopped going for the ball. I always say, the player makes the ref's mind up for him in these instances and that's what Tiote's actions did, in effect costing us all 3 points. Pardew has worked wonders on Ben Arfa's game apparently and now needs to do likewise with Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hydeous Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Does seem to bring confidence to the back 4, but he's a liability at times with his loose passes and ridiculous bookings. I'd like to see Anita assert himself in the next 3 games and give Tiote some competition for his spot. With Colo back, we should be looking to play it out more from the back and Anita has the passing ability for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkzter Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 No doubt get slated for this but if we sold him this January I wouldn't be bothered. Tired of his recklessness, injuries and poor play. His value will be dropping, no way the player people big him up to be. Problem is would we invest the money we would get for him in a new player?

Guest BooBoo Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Seriously, are we a worse side when Perch plays instead of Tiote? After today, the shirt is Perch's for the next three games at least and if he performs like today, should keep it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We invested the Carroll money so why not? and if we actually started passing the ball i'd be confident in Anita the reason Tiote is so important is because how often we go back to front and he covers ground better than the rest. If we passed the ball more i'm sure the likes of Perch, Anita etc etc wouldn't look out of place in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I think he's a idiot for that tackle today, he really should know better. Still love him though, top player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Wanting to sell Tiote is senseless, we are a better side with him in it, so he gets booked a lot and sent off a few times, he does the job in midfield no fker else wants to do AND I have faith Pards CAN get him to control his aggression a bit more.

Dave Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Since joining Newcastle in 2010/11 no player has been awarded more cards than Cheick Tiote - 27 yellow and one red - in the Premier League. Second on the list is Lee Cattermole - 18 yellow and 3 red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I love Tiote and i think he's a brilliant footballer. And whilst it wasn't a red card today ("steaming in and clattered him" someone said in this thread earlier - "nicked him on the shin a bit late whilst being fouled" is a closer description), Pardew does need to get to work on his aggression. He's too reckless, it's as simple as that. It's infuriating to see because he doesn't need to be like that and he acts like a thug on too many occasions.

Wullie Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 He raised his hands and lashed out, after the whistle too. It looked like nowt but by the letter of the law it is a red card, and Tiote should have known better. Atkinson is a fucking shit ref mind, gave the mackems everything all afternoon and the dopey cunts still couldn't win the game. How is it a red "by the letter of the law"? Raised his hands? Absolutely. It isn't red by the letter of the law. That post show no knowledge of the rules. Howay then, enlighten me. He raised his hands and made contact with the player, above the chest, in an aggressive manner. I haven't read the referee's comprehensive rulebook but as far as I can remember that results in a red card, no matter how petty or pathetic the contact is. What? He got sent off for a late tackle on Fletcher. What were you watching? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Like the commentary said if fletcher's leg was plated to to ground that would have been him out for the season. Dirty tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I couldn't believe he got sent off for it to be honest. IMO if the referee is going to send someone off that early it has too be a dead certain red card and that wasn't. It ruined it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's a clear yellow but it's Larsson's I have a problem with more. If he walks (like he should have last year), we stay with 11 and stroll to victory. He went in with the full intention of taking Shola's head off his shoulders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his leg had been planted to the ground Tiote would have won the ball and missed Fletcher by a mile, it was Fletchers follow through that caused the contact.
