To be fair mind we only had the lower tier so you can hardly just blame them. Sorry but I am blaming the piss poor attendance on them alone. Their ground, their home match, not impacted greatly by the size of away following. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Shouldn't really be surprised with this being a Newcastle forum and all, but the grade of black & white tinted glasses from some on here really astounds me. Simple question for those who think we deserved a draw(or better?): How would you feel if the roles were reversed yesterday? I know I wouldn't be happy, and I'd put the blame on the referee & linesman. My main issue in general is how the media and pundits faff all over how Everton were fucked over when the refs fucked us up a bit as well. It's just more media friendly to say a team was robbed and then do the edits based on that. I, for one, do love a smash and grab once in a while though. And it being against Everton makes it somewhat sweeter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Everton were clearly unlucky in the game but luck is what it is. They opened the scoring last season at home with a massive deflection & were lucky in the first place that half our defence got crocked directly before this match. So yes unlucky in the game, just as we were outside of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes unlucky in the game, just as we were outside of that. Luck = Opportunity plus preparation. I don't think Everton were unlucky. I reckon we were lucky though, if that makes any sense. We made our luck when we decided to turn up and took advantage of our chances pretty well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Shame about those blunders because they took away from what was a class game. Credit is due for your 2nd half performance (Pardew obviously gave them an almighty bollocking, and rightly so) and a draw wasn't really an unfair result in terms of the balance of play and chances overall. From our POV, if we play like that for the rest of the season we will be sitting very pretty come May. Not sure why people are kidding themselves though about the Anichebe goal, it was a clear goal. I'm happy to be proved wrong but iirc it was clearly over. You certainly wouldn't be labelling it as "marginal" if the boot was on the other foot. The referee was also completely wrong about pulling the play back 10 seconds later - but the fact is that should never have come about as the goal should have been given. Just furthers the case for technology asap. The Fellaini goal was, obviously, a goal. Hibbert and Neville are like those 2 kids who were always picked last when choosing teams for footy in school. I'm not saying it doesn't look over but it looks as over as this looks out: Dubai 07 QF hawkeye dispute Nadal There's no daylight there so you can't say for certain that it was over - it's 100% of the ball and 0.1% of a football is not very much, certainly not enough to see on a freeze frame.

Benwell Lad Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sky made a big point about the fact that when Everton go ahead in games the almost always go on to win. With the players we had missing last night it makes it an even better result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonpete1892 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 For the goal to be given you need to be 100% sure. The conflicting reactions last night and today (even after super slow motions clips from along the line) showed that the 100% level was not reached and therefore the decision not to give the goal was correct. Other decisions may include a mixture of other factors but a ball crossing a line is a yes or no situation. Its not seeing it through black and white tinted glasses, its just how it is. On another note, I have to say the away support was class last night. It felt like it was almost a never ending mass of noise so hopefully it came across well on the tv. Going down for the game we asked ourselves why we were doing it, but afterwards we were glad we did. A fantastic evening! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 See both the local news programmes focused only on the decisions which went against Everton and chose to totally ignore the fact that the free kick before the incident should never have been given and that the evenings really shocking decision was to stop play when HBA was clean through on goal. Seems like the lazy press had already set it's agenda and everyone was going to follow it without question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was times in between the Everton moaning and groaning for every last decision where we sounded brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the goal would never have happened had the ref not given a ridiculously soft freekick in the first place, so I'm not sure that really counts.

Was a reply to Benwell Lad, people are using your (correct) logic about the goal and then talking about the Ben Arfa incident, you can't have it both ways.

Skeletor Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 He told the Liverpool Echo: "I wouldn't say there was a bit of an edge to the game, but I think it's a little bit disrespectful for someone to say something like that after one good season. "Fair play, Newcastle had a fantastic season and massively overachieved, but they aren't the first team to overachieve for a season. "In the Premier League it's all about consistency, and if you look at how we have performed over the years, then it's a little bit disrespectful to come out and say something like that."

His comments were likely responsible for Pards unleashing the Big Sho when he did. what did he say? He grasped on to some comments frm Pards last year when AP said that "forget about Villa and Everton, this year we're challenging Spurs and Arsenal". In a rather typical over reaction, Everton bristled at the comment, perceived an insult and Jagielka said he wanted to ram APs words down his throat.
