Lamptey evens it up

 

[Jack Regan]

Offside I'd say.

Offside I'd say.

Looked well off to me

 

[Jack Regan]

Again taking forever for no reason.

 

[jd1981]

Another footballer who plays to the stereotype of footballers being inherently stupid.

This would be backed up by Paul Robinson on the BBC match feed “ called VAR fun Police” for disallowing that goal. Yep let’s just have goals given wrongly because it’s more fun.

 

[sycophantia]

It was clearly offside, not sure what took so long, thought semi automated would be almost instantaneous?

Gordon pulling a Cunha.

No he didn't.

Gordon was a pretty unmemorable red card for one rush of blood that was hardly violent and over in seconds.

Cunha took about three swipes, a piss-weak 'kick' and 'headbutt' and then embarrassed himself by getting in the face of numerous officials, staff and players on the touchline as he was pretty much dragged off the pitch.

 

[Del Woppio]

I've not been paying much attention but I was confused for a bit about how it was 1-1 after 95 minutes when I was sure I looked ten minutes earlier and Newcastle had scored a 97th minute winner

 

[jd1981]

Newcastle fans thinking they’ve been hard done by here when in reality they were fortunate not to concede a penalty before the two red cards and disallowed goals.

 

[jd1981]

Great finish

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

They both got sent off for doing something pointless and stupid.

 

[jd1981]

Brighton have been the better side in this and deserve to go through

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Neither were "violent" as your description of Cunha's actions point out.

 

[prawnking]

Obviously, but Gordon's didn't have the on and off field drawn-out embarrassing theatrics, and the 'violence' from Cunha was from multiple sources rather than just one push.

So apart from being red cards that's as far as the comparison goes. Trying to make that comparison diminishes Cunha's circus act and total loss of control

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Zirkzee is such a dreadful footballer. I'd rather have Willian Joke.

They both got sent off for something stupid, they both lost control the rest of it doesn't matter one bit.

And you are contradicting yourself when you describe how pathetic the "violence" was, because it wasn't violence at all, it was pathetic.

Anyway, i'm done with this, i didn't expect such a comment to provoke an argument, have a nice afternoon.

I don't believe that for a moment

Was it an argument? I thought it was just a disagreement.

I think it's obvious that both scenarios are very different for the reasons I've already said, as someone who bangs on about 'nuance' all the time I thought you'd see the contrast but no worries!

 

[leedswolf]

Rum old day, but always a plus when Madrid lose and improved again when Atleti overtake them after a proper game against Athletic.

Even better today, with Barca beating Sociedad.

 

[prawnking]

Amorim looking like a bit of a loser here
