S-Clarke

He's been stitched up with the squad tbf.

We had worse and we came back stronger. We're better than this. We've just been dealt every single shit bit of luck you can get. There's very little else which could go wrong in a game of football.

It's all a load of waffle.

Given how shit VAR is used, I imagine we will appeal the Jan card and it will get overturned.

Just gets better and better. Alan Tapachat at the back for Newcastle then?

He probably is, he's guaranteed a start every single week here.

He's not a great finisher at all. Although he did have a goal taken off him tonight. Generally, he's decent enough at holding it up, but I don't see a true goal scorer there.

I thought we were holding out quite well second half. Oh well.

It wasn't even checked! Such inconsistent use of the technology.

The problem is when they go into that level of detail over such a marginal decision. In my opinion VAR should be used for clear misses. Missed red, missed offside (i.e like a yard), missed pen etc. They're analysing it way too deeply and gone is the 'attackers' advantage on offside. Without VAR that's a goal, every day of the week and no one would bat an eyelid.

Agreed, the use of it is criminal. How about we get natural officials to run it, who actually have experience of micro analysing replays/screens? Then you haven't got them looking after their 'mates'. As it's all very referee club at the moment. Inconsistency on the field is being taken into VAR by the same people.

They really need to sort this offside rule out. It doesn't work with VAR. Either scrap VAR, or revamp the offside rule.

Lol.

Come back on.

He had interest from fc groningen, that's who made a bid. He believes he deserves more game time and he was given that this evening. If you genuinely think any professional is going to show that level of petulance towards the club who pays their wages, then you are daft. How is that going to help him get a move? Have a word with yourself.

It's like the conspiracy loons have taken over the asylum?

Pure stupidity from Jankewitz. Mistimed, miss thought. Complete moment of madness from the kid. High studs right down McTominays thigh. He's lucky it wasn't worse than the clear cuts he was left with, it was a dreadful challenge.

We're not getting relegated, dragged into relegation or even thinking of relegation. Let's not get carried away with that theme. It looks like we will be in the mix to finish around the Newcastles/Leeds/Palace/Wolves, as opposed to the Leicester's, Arsenals, West Hams etc.

And replace them with kids and kill them? We've got nothing.

Done on purpose? what the fuck. Seriously. He was stupid, he miss timed it, got it all wrong, was half asleep, was foolish. Call it what you like, massive mistake. But to call for him to have a beating, to be sacked, to be a 'cunt' and to say he did it on purpose is even more stupid than what he did.

And to think my main aim was to keep our GD on + figures from this game. And that felt negative. We are going to be a long way off positive figures...

Seriously, what is wrong with you?

Exactly. Some of our keyboard warriors showing their true colours tonight.

Some of the reactions towards Jankewitz are ridiculous by our fans. Yes, what he did was pure stupidity. He will not sleep tonight I'm sure. It will be something he never forgets. But calling a young lad a 'cunt' and telling him the club to rip up his contract - bit over the top, no? Keyboard warriors.

TV off.
