Newcastle v Villa post match

[ChicagoLion]

We lost because we started the game so lacklustre. I can not believe we were not talking before the game to keep it tight from the start and build from there. There is a mentality problem, it keeps happening.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Shite. Very predictable shite. 3-0 flattered us.

With Duran we have to accept, comes the loco bueno and the loco malo.

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.

Newcastle show desire in this fixture. We show nothing except our bellies for tickling. Watching Rogers at the end all smiles and hugs for his mates makes me seethe. We don’t have the right mentality or desire.

They're owned by the Kingdom of ISIS and deserve liquidation.

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.

Yep. Looked to me like the defender kicked him in the bollocks and he retaliated. The referee missed the first one of course, but somebody like Savage would have done nothing but roll round and probably got the defender booked.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

the only hope I had was that the ref would even things up with a 2nd yellow for one of the toon lads, but it soon became obvious it was 10 v 12

[Percy McCarthy]

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.

Have you seen Cash play before? He backs off until he’s in the penalty area and either backs off some more, dives in and gets booked, or gives away a penalty.

Interesting the 50-50 comments on here about the merits of the red card. I'll say it again. I don't know how he can get out of the way of a prone body lying in front of him and if Taylor even had half a refereeing brain he would have been unsure whether or not it was deliberate. I'm wondering whether he got the nod from those jokers hundreds of miles away in Stockley Park along with the 'outrage' from fans and players. Is this all part of the game? It certainly changed the game as we were right in it at that time. Oh well. On to Brighton.

Sending off decision was correct, imo. But otherwise I thought the referee was terrible.

100% incorrect. Schar catches Duran 1st, Duran goes over on his left foot so where can his right foot go when it goes down? Nowhere except on to Schar! No intent whatsoever. Not even a yellow, just a coming together and Duran had every right to challenge a 50:50 ball. Linton on the other hand  DELIBERATELY swung an arm in Rogers face but no red?

Another performance that suggests this year might be about the cup competitions. It’s still open and if we can do good business in Jan, top 5 is still possible, but let’s just go and win the champions league and become legends

[Des Little]

Bad day all round. Shit start, headless moment, wanker ref and ridiculous passing at times.

Nothing changes up there, 20 years and counting…

Edited. Misread your post.

I’m not sure we lose that game with eleven men.  We had started asking the questions.  They should’ve let Duran take the free kick he might not have been in such a bad mood then.

[cdbearsfan]

Given that we always lose at Newcastle and always lose on Boxing Day, it is, perhaps, lucky to have them on the same day. Every cloud...

[eamonn]

Fuck it, I’m going to watch Zulu (again)and try and forget the shitshow I just watched.

Zulus...aren't they Blose? Don't watch them.
