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

Looking at SSN there, the ref was gesturing to Lascelles like he considered Ritchie feigned to shoot. Which is utter horseshit.

 

Doesn't explain his long conversation with the 4th official.

 

And only 3 fucking minutes added on!

Does if he wasn't sure if it was a freekick or a retake.

He'd already given the freekick by then though? Even then, there's absolutely no feint or stutter.

What a palaver.

 

I've seen one video where the Burton player next to NUFC player who's encroaching (Gayle) turns to the ref and protests immediately.

 

The ref is watching the pen though. I can only think:

 

a - he thinks Gayle fouled the Burton plater as he ran past (he didn't) and even then it has to happen after the whistle goes, which not sure it did.

 

b - he doesn't know the rules about it being retaken (unlikely)

 

c - He thinks Gayle in some was obstructing/distracting the keeper by running in like that (absurd)

 

Oddest decision I've ever seen tbh

Someone on Twitter mentioned a pull on one of their players?

 

That was what I thought, but surely that happens all the time and it made no difference anyway

 

People are just making shit up. Why would one of our players do that when we are taking a penalty?
