One thing I do have to say is where was Paul....... Graeme Souness in all of this? He has disappeared off the face of the planet.

What a start, like lightning out the blocks again.

Goal shouldn't have stood. Defender was all over the West Ham player for the clearance.

Thems the breaks.

 

[montymint]

Felt that was coming

 

[Bigpig]

Bah was coming

 

[Bigpig]

Rice fairly gets around that pitch....

Midfields shot without Bruno, just not the same, if we don't add to him in the summer it'll be a disaster

Haven't seen us this bad since Arsenal

Quite obviously miss Bruno but ASM needs to do more.

 

[McBain]

They are quite a nasty team and referees let them get away with it. The foul on Antony that lead to all the fisticuffs was cynical and he knew what he was doing and where he was. Intentionally sent him down the steep edges at the side of the pitch. The ridiculousness of Viera then remonstrating with the ref at the end of the game as well.

All that being said you can’t get away with grabbing someone by the throat especially with VAR around. It was silly.

 

[Bigpig]

Don't worry.

Clare Balding will come on and score in the second half.

He didn't grab him by the throat. He was holding his shirt collar trying to stop Hughes from rushing in. A red seems pretty damn harsh, if that was a red then 2/3 other people should have got red in that encounter. Hell the original foul was more violent conduct.

50% of Newcastle's games will be draws if this stays the same. More importantly if things stay the same and Brighton win their game in hand they are only 3 points off top 4!

idk if this was posted or not



is this not a red card?

 

[Shamikebab]

Nope, because that isn't a United player

Casemiro and Hughes were even hugging after the brawl, is that the action of someone who has been choked?

He didn't?

 

[Shamikebab]

You can even see in that freeze frame he is holding his shirt, not his neck. That's why the shirt is tense. Seriously watch the clip. They were even hugging afterward!

Here is a better video: https://i.redd.it/6o2bzftk59ga1.gif

He's holding him by the shirt stopping him rushing in like happens in every single brawl. It's the opposite of violent, he's trying to stop Hughes doing something violent

Ref was proper hell bent on getting Casemiro off the pitch. He had such a poor game. The lower teams always get away with murder but when the top teams get physical they always get punished.
