Best camio yet from $70,000 000 Man Savio

Fuck me he is shocking isn't he.

We had like 100 passes in 10 minutes to create fuck all.

They needed just 3.

No Haaland no party.

[PeterParker]

I think this was one of the biggest robberies I've seen in years in the league, and we all saw some mind-blowing shite.
I understand we love to do things behind doors, but for once, I want us to call out these cheats, from Webb to all of those fucking corrupt clowns.

That being said, there is no way on earth we deserved to win today—a draw at best.
All four that came on were bad as they could be and it isn't the first time their cameo is shocking. We seem to lack players to change games in our favour, but most of all, for a while now I can't see us pull together and win a game in the dying moments. Arse, Chavs, murdering cunts have that, we don't.

We still need 1-2 players, but can't see it in the winter window.

Would be the 4th loss of the season and we are in November.
Hardly a champions form, bent or no bent.

I totally get what your saying, but it wouldn't be the fourth defeat if it wasn't bent. Two clear penalties, no cards, offside goal ...

The problem is we are not making things any harder for them.

This game was never a gimmie, though. Newcastle's problem this season is their away form. It was always going to be a rough game and with the officials being totally bent, it's not making things easier.

Agreed. Foden and Cherki are going to frustrate the shit out of us. Difficult game after an international break. Poor decisions against us but we created not a lot ourselves. Dust off and start again Tuesday then smash leeds

[Mase]

Anyone making out Newcastle are a decent team needs their head checking. They're shite

We've had poor refereeing for over 10 years now. We need to make sure the refs don't effect us

Agree, but today it was mental.
I suspect we had also a handball at murphy, but of course it was not shown.

[PeterParker]

Why is Dias jumping in the simulation they made to prove the offside?

[KinkyKinkladze]

Well played barcodes.

But a definite foul on Phil, I don't care how tucked in your arms are but if your hand is sticking out and stops a doku shot like that then it's a handball, and Bruno is absolutely fucking offside. I do not recognise this sport any more. I fell out of love for football a long time ago and this shit is the reason why.

The back pass rule was a good change. Pretty much everything since then has made the game so much worse. I had a season ticket for 35 years & fucked it off in 2021 because of that cliche “you can’t celebrate any more”. Can’t even remember what the score was but I think it was against spurs & we all went mental when Aguero scored but they chalked it off minutes later for handball. Thats the moment I stopped being able to have any spontaneous joy seeing us score. That Newcastle goal was offside. Without VAR we’d just be a bit pissed off it wasn’t flagged, but fair enough in real time it was close & we move on. Now we have VAR it’s showcasing how incompetent and/or corrupt the officiating is. We really need to throw our dollies out of the cot on this one & make Howard explain on TV why they fabricated an image with Dias jumping to justify that scandalous decision

But it’s still our fault we didn’t put our chances away

[KinkyKinkladze]

"According to the Premier League's handbook, if "contact is inevitable" between defender and attacker then "play should typically be allowed to continue"."

Ederson at the Emirates wants a fucking word outside you bent cunts.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

This game annoyed me so much yet I also can’t split the blame between us and the refs. In another night we could have lost 4-0 for how many shots we gave up.

Still we were robbed and we also created too little to win. The subs also boggled my mind. How do Sav Bad Bobb get half an hour and Marnoush gets 3 mins?

Overall a shit night and on to the next please.

[zuricity]

Remember in the semi final when they were caught live moving the rags player forward to show the coventry player offside, even though videos from fans inline in the crowd clearly had the player online.

It looks like they moved the graphic of ruben, the photo shows him offside.

[Indianablue]

We didn't play as well as we did against Liverpool. Newcastle were far more aggressive in the challenges and this was openly ignored by the ref. The officials made some horrendous errors, most went against us.
Handball from Doku is a penalty , that arm was not in a natural position and he swatted it away. Foden challenge was late and worthy of a yellow, definite contact on his ankle. Again i thought a penalty. With Foden and Haaland misses it should have been 4 goals on another day. Newcastle second was a joke. To take that long seems they were looking to find how to justify it. Foul on DOnna questionable , but thd guy was offside in the build up as well.
Not going tk lose sleep over it

[nottsblue]

The reasoning behind not giving a penalty for the Foden challenge is ludicrous.

Because he had played the ball....

So fucking what. Had he crossed the ball and then was taken out: would that be OK? Of course it wouldn't. If that happened in the centre circle would it not be a foul? Of course it would. With a yellow card to boot.

Shocking officiating yet again. 100% this was driven by the events of last week and the fallout by the media that ensued.

The 2nd Newcastle goal was offside. Plain and simple. I'm believing it took the VAR so long, over 4 minutes as it goes, because it took that long to doctor the images used

[Crossie]

Haaland should have scored early on but he didn’t look up to see the keeper. Foden should have scored after that but shot wide. These things are more under our control. 2-0 up and it’s over, their tails stay down, crowd goes quiet, no need for bullshit var scandals.

For var. we all want the right decision made. Sometimes it would feel wrong but if it’s correct and consistent, it’d balance out over time. What we’re seeing is clear examples, recorded and remembered by people and the outcomes have no consistency and are incorrect, it’s worse than it was without var.

The only thing we need is a pitch side monitor for the ref to have a look at when he isn’t sure or couldn’t see. He makes the decision, not influenced by anyone unseen, 200 miles away.

[PeterParker]

Fuck me, anyone watched Motd? They didn't even adress the offisde
And that bellend Rob Green was talking about how Donna could have caught the ball. Rob fucking Green talking about cathing a ball

You're so right about the spontaneity thing, it's really puts a dampener on matchgoing.

[patrickblue]

One things for certain, there won't be two solid weeks of articles and replays about the numerous points of contention in our match, like there's been for Van Dicks disallowed effort.
