Newcastle v Villa post match

[Olneythelonely]

Wonder if he would have got sent off if he just dropped a knee on his back?
The way he was falling contact was always inevitable.

Probably not, unless he did it on purchase. Like how he made sure he studded him twice in this scenario.

[VILLA MOLE]

Obligatory shoeing at St James.  Only saving grace is that smug bastard Tindall getting sent off

yep second half on the sun bed the wannabe

[PhilVill]

That was absolutely pathetic. Giving the ball away so many times on the edge of the box was shocking. No fight or desire is worrying.

This, 100%. Complete lack of desire and fight. Absolutely garbage. The red card decision was correct but the ref was Blues.

[dorsetvillian]

Surprised Uni didn't go to a back 3 with Mings on in the second half. I don't think too much can be read into the game after the sending off. It's annoying that shit always happens up there.

We should absolutely contest that red card. Let’s not be milksops about this.

[Olneythelonely]

We should absolutely contest that red card. Let’s not be milksops about this.

Contest the obviously correct red card? I wouldn’t have thought it was worth our while.

That would be stupid. That's never getting over  turned.

[Demitri_C]

Say what you will about the 10 men but conceding so early and so easily was utterly pathetic. The worst thing you can do is concede early there and thats what we did.

Why was there no no closing? Cash didnt even attempt to press or close him down. Just the usual shit villa defending.

Why he didnt start with mings again. Absolute  mystery to me.. mings has been frozen out since his last excellent  performance.  I do not get it

[The Edge]

I thought the sending off was harsh but not surprising. The reaction from their players and the crowd was crucial in convincing the ref he'd missed something. But either way it's not the reason we lost. We lost because we conceded a goal in the first 2 minutes after Kamara was unusually timid in a challenge and we just never got it together for the next 88. They nullified our midfield and we couldn't do anything because we don't have an alternative. We are desperate for some quality wide players. I can't be arsed to break it down anymore than that right now. They have ruined Boxing day for us yet again. I feel drained.

[Monty]

Strong ugh from my least favourite fixture of the season every season. Can't Iran just hurry up and invade that bastard kingdom already.

Red card killed us completely, we were already up against it but showing signs of being competitive until the card that, whether or not it was right to be given, was always, always, always going to be given by a referee who couldn't eat a slice of pie the right way round.

At least the other c**ts lost or drew, feel no malice seeing Forest in the top three. I just wish we'd stop losing to (to repeat myself) the most punchable club in the league at every level.

[Brend'Watkins]

We should absolutely contest that red card. Let’s not be milksops about this.

Contest what? Are you saying it wasn’t Duran’s studs on the defender’s back?

[Skerra]

We should absolutely contest that red card. Let’s not be milksops about this.

Contest the obviously correct red card? I wouldn’t have thought it was worth our while.

I thought it was a tough decision to give a straight red but, no way will that be rescinded if we put in an appeal.

[CT Villan]

Boxing day feels like a perfect title - looks like we were koed by tyson, Muhammad  ali and deontay wilder today in that game

With the ref assisting so well, even Ronnie Pickering could have won that one.

[kippaxvilla2]

You know when we lose to this lot it’s a fcuking humping.

[Demitri_C]

We should absolutely contest that red card. Let’s not be milksops about this.

There is absolutely  zero chance  that is getting over turned Richard
