Newcastle United 1 - 0 Burton Albion - 05/04/17 - NUFC relegated to League Two

Journos seem to think it was encroachment. But that's a f***ing retake.

 

There were about 3 Burton players ahead of our players in the box. :lol:

Can anyone find anything in the laws of the game which can even begin to explain that decision?

 

again

 

Indirect FK if wrong player deliberately takes the penalty (+ YC to player who took the kick)

Indirect FK if ball kicked backwards

If 'illegal' feinting occurs it is always an indirect FK (and YC to the kicker)

 

That last one would be my guess... not that I've seen it.

 

He didn't feint at all.

 

No idea then. By the looks of the rules, if that was what they gave a free kick for, he should've been booked.

So the only alternative is that they said someone else was going to take the pen, but Ritchie took it???

 

Even then, should've been a booking.

Tell you what, I'm so happy that Benitez is our manager now. He'll tell the lads at half time to not worry about it and just go and get the winner.

 

FWIW, the radio lads said it was the assistant who gave the penalty and not the main ref. Bent as fuck him.
