Live Match Discussion: 2020/21

[Lupo]

Newcastle down to 9 men having already lost Manquillo and Wilson in the first half to injury, Schar stretchered off now and Bruce had used his 3rd sub in the 67th minute to tighten up!

 

[Jack Regan]

Not really looked like scoring either Southampton.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Not really looked like scoring either Southampton.

They seemed to lack any urgency. Very strange watching them pass back and forth 35 yards from goal.

 

[Tredman]

Sounds familiar.

 

[Kenny]

Both games today have mirrored Wolves in some way #trendsetters

 

[Kenny]

Red Card for Soucek. To me that is harsh, pulling his arm out of the way for me and not an elbow to the face. Slow mo doesn't help but I would be fuming it that given to one of our players

True, but if it had been a player against us we'd have been screaming for a red card.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

That's pathetic.

Watching on TV I wouldn't but at the ground I would be going mental but you know, I shout for anything (well I think I did, it's been so long...)

 

[YoungWolf]

Apparently even Mitrovic seemed to be saying it wasn't a red??

I picked the right time to go and do the dishes then...

 

[The Bear]

Another pathetic decision from Mike Dean.

 

[BillyDee]

Shocker.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Lee Mason was the VAR suggesting he takes another look...

Maybe if Mitrovic hadn't dropped to the ground like a sack of spuds clutching his face it wouldn't even have been picked up

 

[Kenny]

Well he was smacked in the face and footballers are now trained to hit the deck if they sense contact...

Not sure how Mason and Dean have watched that action and thought, yep he def launches his elbow at his face rather than, he pulls his arm out of the way of Mitro grabbing him and accidentally catches him

 

[slink]

All these referees are wank. VAR is making them look really bad as they can't get decisions right even with replays. Never ever been a red card and Mitrovic was also saying so. Definitely gets rescinded on appeal.

Can't blame him when refs are giving stupid decisions like that

A certain bald fella sitting two away from me would've been apoplectic.

We'd have had trouble scraping him off the roof of the SB.

 

[Tony Towner]

Anyone still in favour of VAR? Not the principle, the reality. Rarely overturning howlers, it's now finding them. That's a 3 game ban if not overturned, which it won't be.

 

[Lupo]

Can't blame him when refs are giving stupid decisions like that

Can't blame him no but why say in the immediate aftermath that it wasn't malicious as if defending Soucek? I can see why he did it in modern football but not why he tried to defend Soucek after his over reaction created the issue
