Incognito Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I’m delighted we came away with something from the game and that we didn’t get beaten. However, I felt that when Newcastle went down to 10 men we should have taken a minute or two to think, instead of getting anxious about it. In the final third we were quite clumsy, we could have done better and we should have created a few more opportunities. In the second half, I think sheer pressure alone yielded the equalising goal and because of that pressure I feel it was deserved. We got the break and we had time to go and get the winning goal. It might have been harsh on Newcastle, but then again it’s almost like a reversal from our game with them last year. We could have done better; our flair players maybe looked a little too anxious to impress, but over the course of time they will come into their own. The pleasing aspect was that even when time was running out we kept at it and applying pressure. The commentator, pundit and Sky studio were willing the ball into the back of the net. The noise that greeted the kick off was just fantastic and the noise that greeted the equalising goal was something I won’t forget in a hurry! Tidied.

Black b****** was what appeared to have been shouted, but it could have easily been mag b******... that's what I reasoned with myself anyway. http://tyneandwear.sky.com/news/article/43981 I'm positive it was not long after the restart after Ba had just won a corner. I'm also positive it was a bloke who was wearing glasses and a hat too. I remember thinking did he just shout out something black b******?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Slippery Sam Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 28th minute and Larsson handles in the box. Clear hand ball. Le Tissier says "it would have been harsh". Crap; it was a clear and deliberate hand ball that the linesman should have seen. Another clear penalty to us at that shit hole goes missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I hate Ray Wilkins as well. Wish Sky would stop using him. I couldn't believe it when they said Tiote's sending off was premeditated. It wasn't malicious or premeditated at all, it's clear he went for the ball he was just late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this happened the game was fairly calm but I think this would have Been a definite Yellow and maybe Red had it come after Tiote. Sunderland did a great job of committing niggling minor fouls that go unpunished, which drew Newcastle into committing fouls that got punished. McClean did a fantastic job of getting inside Ben Arfa's space and slowing him down without getting caught for any fouls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 However, i still don't think it was a red card today. It was late, for sure, and definitely a booking - but the guy was being fouled and he never took his eyes off the ball. It was completely innocuous and the referee was swayed by an angry crowd and an overzealous reaction from Fletcher. I can't blame the Mackems for that, i'd expect the same from us lot (or anyone), but i do blame the referee. Bad officiating tends to balance out over the course of the season, but that doesn't take away anything from what was an abysmal, abysmal performance from Atkinson. The problem was that this was committed after the whistle had gone. I think that during play it's a yellow but because he whistle had already gone it went red Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he followed through a milisecond after the whistle blew, it's a red as opposed to a yellow? Doesn't ring true with me, tbh. Was just a classic example of a shit referee being swayed by circumstance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Sorry but if thats the rule it needs a major seeing to, it's pathetic. Tiote had momentum going into the tackle and went into the challenge as the whistle was blew. Impossible to stop himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I still think it was a harsh decision, and the referee didn't have that clear a view of the actual contact...but I think he was thinking that Tiote should have eased up, he didn't, and then he sees Fletcher crumple like the had been hit by a truck.

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I definitely think it was a harsh decision after seeing Pienaar's first booking. The same commentary team weren't after his blood whilst reviewing what was to my mind was a far more dangerous and wreckless tackle. Apparently yellow was the right decision for a two footed scissor tackle but not a slightly late lunge. They kept going on about what might have happened if Fletchers foot was planted, well the answer to that was simple Tiote wins the ball as it was off the floor. Really wish we had neutral punditry in this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
