Southampton 0-1 Newcastle United (24/01/2023)

Why doesn't the ref even check the video. Its a goal, so take 20 seconds to check all the angles, why are they fucking rushing it. Total farce.

Was just coming to say this. It hasn’t worked for a few weeks now, but we keep persevering with it. Almiron has been poor again today, Wilson anonymous and Joelinton is wasted out wide left. We need to change that front three or we are just not going to score again. Keep dominating games though which is great. Have to say, I am just not a fan of Longstaff in that midfield, just chases shadows and puts the ball backwards. Mix this up for the second half and get a goal, come on lads!!

 

We lack any threat from the left when Joelinton's there imo. We all rave about the record of first half clean sheets; that's now our 7th consecutive first half we've failed to score in. Needs a rethink.

 

BUT we're clearly the better side. It's just frustrating as fuck.

[IzzyIsak]

Let's beat these useless cunts anyway, fuck off.

[MrRaspberryJam]

Has Francis Benali been in River Island before coming on set? 

[SiLvOR]

I'd be very tempted to HAUL Wilson off for Isak at HT

"you've gotta go with the on-field decision then haven't you" - literally no, you thick cunt. 

[Disco]

Played quite well without getting the rub of the green in the box or showing enough quality but as we’re not 0-4 up I’m seething.

Just to get amongst the knee-jerking. When was Bruno’s last Bruno performance?

Think he's been really good tbh

I meant in recent games. Have you not noticed we have been rather limp in the final third?

Blip. Evey team has a wobble at one point in the season. Our wobble has not included any defeats. Still third. Remember the previous 14 years? Or the entire 80’s? Like I said, pull yourself together man. 

[Willow]

We've defended so well, we're just needing that composure up top

 

Also why THE FUCK aren't refs seeing all the angles before making a decision, is that not really fucking stupid?

I didn't see any view that showed enough to overturn it tbf. I didn't think it was a handball but if VAR is supposed reverse only obvious mistakes then I see why the call stood, even if I didn't like it.

 

 

 

I think the problem with the current setup is a decision gets made on it by a referee you can't see and there is no explanation. Tell us it hit his arm. Or tell us it's inconclusive so the referee's decision stands. There can't be no feedback on a potential goal.

Fuck off Belai you dwarf cunt

Cunt couldn’t blow quick enough.

 

Yet another “blow for the negative v Newcastle and see if it’s clear and obvious to the contrary.”

 

Fucking sick of it.

[cookidge]

Livid. Absolute bullshit. This is what VAR is there to correct, instead, it is highlighting errors and doing nothing about them.

Bruno has looked our best player by a mile today IMO. 

[simonsays]

So, if the ref doesnt give it as a handball then its a goal, if he does then it isnt a goal.  Irrespective of if it hits his hand or not.  What the fuck is then point of VAR then? 

[Pata]

Solid half, would still bring on Isak for Wilson and ASM for Willock before 60 minutes.

I'm still not sure what you are saying.  Did you think it was handball or not?

We’ve not even signed Gordon yet

He looks little, think he’s loaned his  Barber coat to Nathan Jones. 

[Cf]

They literally shown an angle where it doesn't hit his arm/hand. Everything else is irrelevant. It's a goal.

It’s not a handball. Certainly not conclusive. Typical that refs leave everything to VAR and bottle making a decision these days. But he was desperate to blow up for that and not just wait for the check. 

[Stifler]

If Man Utd score that goal tomorrow night, and the referee says it’s handball, VAR will take 5 minutes to look at every angle in slow-mo in order to give that goal. We get 30 seconds on a blurry image which is out of focus.

[Mattoon]

Goal should have stood with the burden of proof on the handball, impossible to say definitively but for me it definitely looks like chest, close to the arm but no contact. Poor officiating, even my man u supporting mate said we were robbed there.

[andyc35i]

Another dominate half from us again. I really find that my new found anger or annoyance watching us is that our football is top quality. We are excellent up to the final pass and that’s what’s upsetting. It’s so different to not be upset by how useless we are, but it’s the same feeling when you can’t turn continuous dominance into end product.
