Makes one wonder why we have linesmen at all any more!

 

I can accept the counterargument re the linesman's flag on this occasion but, again, my main gripe is about the loss of spontaneous emotion, regardless of the outcome. I know we're absolutely miles apart on VAR though so pointless going on, like you say. My view for a while is that it should just be binned from offsides.

 

Yeah, that's true but IMO it's essential for especially offsides. I didn't really celebrate that goal either because everyone seemed to think he was off and you couldn't see him on TV when the ball was played.

 

Just try to celebrate every goal in any case, it's pointless to worry that it might get chalked off. It's still closer to goal than when the ball is not in the net.

I was actually had the opposite feelings.  I thought "oh well, it's offside".  Then I totally exploded when VAR intervened.

Then if it's binned just for offsides then tonight a perfectly good goal would have been wrongly disallowed.  That's why VAR is good.  You get the CORRECT decision.


Yea, the guy that played him on was out of the camera angle  so not sure what he saw live. Linesman should keep the flag down. VAR did a job today.

:lol: that's one way of overcoming it. I might start celebrating through balls now n'all; it's more goaly than a throw-in after all.

Gabby's just referenced the Coventry away game in 98, also 1-5.

iirc much like this it wasn't as sublime as it lookied, though we thought it was the start of 'sexy football' under Gullit.

also iirc we played better the following season and lost 4-1

 

Was at that 4-1 game, we created loads and couldn't score, Dyer ran them ragged believe it or not

Agree with this but think they should go to the system used in the champions league where it’s fully automated with a hawk eye type system.

 

The current system is to easy to be manipulated by our dodgy officials for the likes of Man Reds and Liverpool

Feel bad for Fabianski like, I generally think he's been one of the most underrated 'keepers in Premier league history 


Made two absolutely brilliant saves as well from Maxi and Murph.

I was at both games however drink blurs the merits of our performances.

Was a decent bit of keeping for when Wilson probably should've shot first time too.

 

'kin hell, we could've had 8 and we were sub-par :lol:

That's the game I was at, not the 1-5 one so couldn't say for sure. Down to ten too. Was very frustrating but strangely positiive too with the fight.

Sir Bobby's fire in his post match was fantastic along the lines of 'you wouldn't know who was down to to ten' - Lineker made some glib comment back in the studio like 'you got stuffed Bobby' and remember argueing with people that weren't there that we were actually pretty good.

I can't wait for the Ando goal reaction compilation for this season. :lol: Nothing I love more than just hearing him laughing in the background when we score.


As someone who’s only exposure to Radio Newcastle is those videos I’ve really enjoyed them this season. Razor is a really good commentator. Mick Lowes in the absolute mud.

I don't mind Moyes at all.

He often seems to have these seasons though - was like this at Everton, over-achieve, then under achieve. Good solid mid-table and cut out all the mood swings would probably be better for him. Victim of his own success, or maybe regulator of his own under-achievement I suppose.
