John P Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Had time to think about the match now so here's my view: i) I think it probably was a red. Pardew would have told all the players before the game to not get involved in anything that could result in a red card, so for Tiote to leave his foot in off the floor like that was stupid. It wasn't a reckless challenge or a typical 'leg-breaker' but in that situation the ref is more than likely to produce a red. However, Larsson should also have been sent off for his chest high challenge on Shola. For some reason these tackles never seem to get as much attention as the tackles that are 2 foot off the floor? If one is construed as dangerous play then how can the other not be? ii) We were bossing it up until the red card, no doubt whatsoever in my mind that we would have won by a couple if it weren't for the sending off. iii) Colo was incredible. Dealt with absolutely everything thrown at him and was so composed and assured on the ball. One of the best centre back performances I have ever seen for us. iv) I was slighlty disappointed with Santon today. Not in his defensive work which was very solid, but I thought he was very careless in posssession on quite a few occasions and gave the ball away needlessly when we really needed to keep it. v) The free kick for their goal was taken at least five yards further forward from where the foul was committed. Maybe doesn't seem like much but without that I'm not sure Larsson could have got the angle he did on the delivery, poor refereeing. vi) Atkinson is shit. vii) Sunderland are shit. Johnson reminded me of Damien Duff during his time here, lots of aimless running with the ball down blind alleys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 From .com Got to agree with the Fletcher bit. The twat knew what he was doing. "The lime-green clad visitors looked to be comfortably in control until Tiote's moment of madness although Fletcher was far from blameless, having piled in to challenge well after the whistle had already gone."

buzza Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thoughts about the game were: Crapp refereeing Sunderland were really lucky Tiote got sent off We are going to tonk someone soon, players seem to be returning to form, just that "team" isn't quite clicking. Colo makes a huge difference to us. P.S. Any chance of making a bid for that Rose lad? He had an awesome game for them!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
