Newcastle v Villa post match

[aj2k77]

Dog shit again, too easy to score against. Another game where we ship 2 or more. The defensive plan needs changing.

[PaulWinch again]

In fairness we were down to ten men for over an hour. We had got some control after the early goal.

[VillaTim]

Atrocious refereeing matched only by our atrocious performance. To go a goal down inside 2 minutes is pathetic.
Our central defence is a shambles , worst defence in the top 12 and we are now down to 9th.
Thought onana had a decent game spoiled by the error for goal 3 .
Watkins now gets his chance to make the 9 spot his again .

[Meanwood Villa]

One day, don't know where when, don't know when, we won't play absolute Blues up there and fold like a cheap suit at the first sign of pressure.

[Meanwood Villa]

I suppose I do know where, Newcastle. Although I'm not ruling out league games in Riyadh or that bonkers city they're building.

[cdbearsfan]

Much as I hate the Saudi authorities, I think that Line city sounds cool. Very Philip K. Dick.

Atrocious refereeing matched only by our atrocious performance. To go a goal down inside 2 minutes is pathetic. It's a red card too, if that was against one of our players nobody would be debating it. Just when we thought Duran was maturing he does an immature action like that which the desperate Newcastle players pounced upon . So silly.

It's not a red card and neither Newcastle manager or motd do either. It's accidental

[Drummond]

Well MOTD didn't think it was a red.

Yeah looking at it again in slow motion it's an ankle slip . I think the 3 game ban will be overturned .

[DC1874]

Even Shearer said it wasn't a red - shafted by yet another shit or bent ref again!

[DC1874]

Watch how the ref at Saints v West Ham did the right thing and overturned a dubious red

[The Edge]

No it wasn’t - that’s Arsenal fan nonsense. If we want to debate competency fair enough, but corruption - really? To what end exactly?

He had a really poor game and probably got swayed by the crowd crowd several times. I agree with others that Newcastle probably had a game plan for the exact scenario that saw Duran sent off and the ref fell for it hook line and sinker. Bravo Newcastle I wish we would learn to use the dark arts more often. But the weakness of the referee was not the reason we lost. They had a game plan that worked and it wasn't just tactical it was also about manipulating the referee. Talk of corruption is conspiracy theory nonsense worthy of a Trump supporter rally.

[JUAN PABLO]

and duran got a right kick in the bollocks too

[VillaTim]

The Joelinton elbow on Rogers should have been looked at , also Gordon shirt pulling two or 3 times and he gets away with it . Really poor ref today , he has form though .

[DC1874]

David Coote = zero confidence in PGMOL
