Fortunately the officials knew that also Absolutely, as a centre forward always told, get yourself between the man and ball. From the rules: Shielding the ball, a position between an opponent and the ball if the ball is within playing distance and the opponent is not held off with the arms or body. If the ball is within playing distance, the player may be fairly charged by an opponent. Gordon wasn’t fairly challenged, he was kicked. Stonewall, both pens.

RS Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 First game of the season for me. My key takeaways: The East stand support is awful. Average age must be clicking on 70. The smell of piss is much stronger than any passion. We are so poor defensively through the middle, levels of Bruce era lack of understanding among the defence at times. Howe’ s approach seems to be cautionary these days. The number of times play slowed down from promising positions was frustrating. Longstaff needs dropped/rested. I’ve never seen a player so low on confidence keep being selected . Put the lad out of his misery Dubravkas positioning is woeful Until the triple substitution we would never have scored from open play. Howe had nothing other than attacking players to bring on and when that happened the game was transformed. An absolutely surreal end result from where we were before my the substitutions. How easy it is to get a pint in the labour club after the game. Very impressive. Unbelievable result from where we were prior to the triple sub. What a day.

Plenty on here and in the media said Ballard on Isak was good defending when I thought it was a foul and a red. This was nowehere near that bad. But perhaps lucky. Considering Kudus and Paqueta were diving and moaning all game. Fuck them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Ah, I remember the challenge. I thought it was borderline a foul. They were both fighting for the ball and Burn was just about level enough to get away with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like his commentary for big moments like this. He gets caught up in the emotion of it all. No fake shit like Tyler towards the end. No poundshop poetry like Drury. Just seems to enjoy it and sounds like genuine excitement. Probably helps that I’ve watched this clip 38 times and also he was on comms for the PSG game.

Pancrate1892 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Wow, just making my way back from the game via metro replacements.....what a game! They looked like they were going to do what we did to them last season (1-5). But the changes in hall, Anderson, miggy and barnes (hall and Anderson should have started) absolutely sparked us into life. Despite our inability to defend any pressure....i honestly think we deserved it Harvey Barnes man....as soon as he takes that touch, it's destined for the net.

LiquidAK Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 One of my favourite moments looking back was when Gordon got his second yellow and the whole stadium basically said fuck you to the ref and gave him a standing ovation off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at left back he dealt with Bowen well early doors. Not culpable for any of the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept getting caught square and regularly lost out on headers from memory. Burn was good today and was not getting beat like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Unreal that, think I felt every emotion possible at the match. I have said it so many times, but Dubravka is absolutely fucking diabolical. He had a good game at Blackburn in the cup but that aside, he’s been a complete clown. First goal he gives Antonio the full goal to aim at basically. Second goal his crisp packet wrists see him concede a pathetic goal. Then he nearly cost us at the end. Surely Karius isn’t as bad as him man? Longstaff. Won’t say any more.
