What’s with all the rattled Newcastle fans on about cheating etc? Result makes no difference for them

They had relevance for a single season

 

[Robbo]

Should get a poll up quickly, pen or no pen

I think it could have gone either way, he touched the ball and there wasn't a lot of force. Really hard to call though.

 

[Purdy]

Monstrous performances on repeat from this club right now, truly in the good old days.

Sucks not to win it and some unfavourable calls. Did Pep ever win at Anfield? Covid years or something maybe?

Foot at chest height - good process lads. Well done

Exactly. He could win the ball all day...it doesnt matter lol.

Good job the ref didnt give the ball back to the wrong team that.

 

[PikeyPriest]

The draw makes for a great tight fight at the top though. It would be great to have 3 teams in contention going in to the last few games.

There's one person calling cheat.

 

[Liquid_Entity]

He's cleared the ball and caught him after, bit of a difference

Didn't Romero get sent off for getting the ball and then catching him after.

A high foot is above Maccas waist. He's caught him far too high for it not to be a foul.

Still a strange bunch with some of the posts.

You literally can see Doku’s foot on the ball

Could be classed as dangerous play, out of control. Kicks him chest height, its clear as they come. Touching the ball or not. Its a freekick outside the box 100% of the time.

 

[Trusty]

Not reallyu. Its a clear pen. Ref and Var bottled in big time

Well it wasn't given, so it wasnt clear for the refs

Its a freekick outside the box 100% of the time.

different threshold inside the box, Doku has to clear it, Mac runs into that clearance.

Once when there was no crowd

 

[Purdy]

If someone gets booted in the chest anywhere in the pitch, ball won or not you'd be expecting a foul and at minimum a yellow card.

Being unaware (how can you, he is right in front of you) that your follow through will catch someone in the chest doesn't stop it being a foul. Rough between that and the handball by arsenal dude in Anfield fixture if we're looking at the direct fixtures

 

[Robbo]

I hope Erik "if you have a few injuries you have to play like a non-league side" Ten Hag was watching this game.

 

[omnomnom]

It dont care if he wins the ball or not, how are people not seeing the connection with Maccas chest lol. It is a stone wall penalty.

 

[scarps]

Well it wasn't given, so it wasnt clear for the refs

Nothing is clear from them

Exactly. It's a foul all day. We've had some absolute stinkers this season.

No idea. But i'm consistent with those type of challenges, don't like people being sent off or giving away pens for catching players by accident after a tackle/clearance.

 

[Tombstone]

Seems to be some division over that last min penalty claim, Dean seemed to think it was a pen. I wonder if it would have been more likely to be given if the earlier penalty hadnt have been given.

 

[scarps]

Yes he did, reckless challenge , just like this one
