We’re all over the place now. This is just utter shit.

It was. Anyway it really doesn’t matter.

That was a penalty

We need goals goals goals in the second half. Only one man on the bench who can give us that. C'mon Shane.

Norwich would probably be sniffing around most of them but after that I'm struggling.

Weird how we had a rash of aways then a rash of homes then another much longer rash of aways broken only very briefly by the pimple that was Watford at home 2 seasons back. I'd like to know the record run of consecutive away and home draws on third round day in the entire history of the FA cup if anyone has this information please.

Yeah and he also referenced "The tea" alluding to it maybe having an influence on our second half performances.

Officially the correct decision then. If that definition is correct then if a keeper's hand and an attacker's foot meet the ball at the exact same time then any goal that results should not be given as the keeper had his hand on the ball for the same split second that the attacker's boot was on it. I suppose if a keeper was stood there with the ball held in one upturned palm ready to launch it and an attacker booted it out of his hand nobody would complain if any resulting goal was chalked off. This one felt wrong though, was never in his control. Like many/most things in football the issue is grey.

What is the official law regarding a goalkeeper having control of a ball? Genuine question. Whitey?

Play keep ball and not fuck it up. What he tried to do was the right thing and it wasn't difficult. He ballsed it up. Noted though as I think you said above, tiredness may be a factor - him and Romeu are/were relied upon too heavily and asked to do too much. That's on Ralph.

It’s hard to take that, really is. Probably best not to comment beyond that, so I won’t.

This ref is a proper cunt. Ffs

Abraham isn’t but yeah hopefully he’ll want to stay another year

Should start every game. No ifs or buts. Streets ahead of Armstrong.

Utterly shit. How in god's name did we conspire to lose to them?

Bizarrely I tried casting it to the tv from my mobile - it wouldn't work, but then after returning to trying to watch it through the Prime app on Sky Q it started working perfectly and has ever since. WTF

I do and I am and it's still shit even after applying a fix I just read off the sky community thing. This is all through the TV, just checked on my mobile and it's perfect!

Mine's still shit though still good enough to see Clark get sent off LOL

Thought worth mentioning given we're on tomorrow. Is it just me or is their service arguably worse than some knock off stream? I'm attempting to watch Newcastle v Norwich and it's like Norman Collier in his pomp. Virtually unwatchable.

Yeah I felt sorry for him as well, so clearly and utterly out of his depth. I'm sure I remember him saying "I don't know what to do about it" or similar with a rabbit in headlights expression on his face when asked about our terrible form in a post match interview.

Let's not forget our dear old pal Steve Wigley. Form me he vies with Pellegrino as the most frustrating aka shit manager we've had since Branfoot.

Not sure if anyone else has thought of or suggested this at all but I'd like to see us try KWP at right back and Tino ahead of him in right midfield.

He should've passed it to Broja after it - very fortunately - bounced back to him after the initial misplaced shot. Easy open goal for Broja from there.

Jesus, this could get really messy.

Yeah time for a new thread - "What is wrong with America and Boris Johnson? They are both fucked"
