That’s exactly how I saw it. Do people really believe lurch has come across a new tactic, like getting the ball into the corners and shielding it, we’ll now see goalkeepers aiming for touch whilst a team is hanging on. Revolutionary tactics!!!! Perhaps the people who claim it was deliberate can explain why he didn’t boot it further into the stands as opposed to it only just going.Hell, he should have launched it over the Kingsland.

Would they be some keen to play if they had Watford at home as opposed to Utd away. Anyway, I’m sure their supporters will be delighted with their “integrity” seeing as their 3 down after 35 mins.

There’s nothing racist about it at all. If the Euros were played during our season and as a result European players missed domestic games, the moaning would be exactly the same. Some chumps see racism everywhere.

That’s where you’re wrong. Kat was a bit of a minger, but I thought she was a really decent owner. I’d take another one of her in a heartbeat. I’d be wary of a fit filly to be honest, as it shouldn’t be about looks. The best female boss I ever had looked like a gypsy’s dog, but she didn’t half inspire people to work for her.

Why wa$ chel$ea match not po$tponed, when they reque$ted it?

So the league were right in not allowing them to postpone game. Amazing how Newcastle can pull the wool over their eyes, but not Chelsea 😂

What makes you think that’s not the case? The league refused Chelsea, allowed Brentford, how does that fit with the “big club bias”. I’d imagine they’ve looked at Newcastle’s case in exactly the same basis as they looked at those 2. As I said, there’s been nearly 20 call offs so far, I doubt there’s much difference between any of them. It’s certainly not a conspiracy or a big club bias.

Nice man, pretty average first team manager. Cheap option who only got the job on the back of his excellent work with the nippers.

Only 50%? Where i was it looked more like only 25%. Even saw a number of stewards not really wearing them (tucked under their chins).

I look forward to the “right decision” merchants backing the referee when we have a goal disallowed for a soft as shite challenge on a keeper.

I don’t recall too many people getting so upset when the first game was called off , now because it’s Newcastle everyone is up in arms. A precedent has been set and we’re now nearly 20 postponed games in. Had it been us proposing a postponed game and the league said “fuck off and play otherwise we’d deduct 3 points”: everyone would be up in arms, citing the normal anti saints agenda of everyone. The way this things spreading, it probably will be us in a couple of weeks wanting games off. Then as now it’s up to the league to decide, not a one eyed supporters forum. You can’t bet your life the posts will be slightly different when it is us.

That’s what started the argument on this thread, the ridiculous notion that the referee was biased. Fuck me, we’re a provincial club that nobody really gives a shite about, why do people think the referees and administrators are always against us? To me it was a 7/10 decision, most refs would have blown for the foul, occasionally one wouldn’t. Personally, I don’t want fouls given for that sort of shite, but that ship sailed years ago. The bloke hardly touched him, he should have held onto it regardless of whether it was a foul or not. As the great Sir Geoffrey would have said “my mum would have caught that in her pinny”.

I think saying it was deliberate is being slightly generous to the big fella. He was clearly aiming for Broja who was hugging the touch line. I’d imagine the thinking was Broja would win it , they’d win it but head it out for a throw in, they’d win it but the result would be another headed battle in midfield or it would go straight out of play. They were playing the %’s imo. One thing I did notice at West Ham was Forsters kicking got worse the longer the game went on,same again yesterday. Wonder if lack of games and being injured has something to do with it. He definitely was more accurate earlier on in both games.

What a load of pony. They’ve already got rid of the double jeopardy of a penalty and a red, hence why he got a yellow. VAR look at every single red card and “back it up” already, that’s the rules. They don’t look at yellows. Your suggestion you shouldn’t get a yellow for persistently giving away free kicks, time wasting, kicking the ball away, showing dissent, blocking the taking of a quick free kick, is just laughable.

I’m struggling to understand the “big team bias” when Brentford had their game called off and Chelsea didn’t. Then there’s posts stating the league haven’t got much of a clue and are being played, with others stating Chelsea played a full side after being denied a cancellation. Surely that’s proof that the league do in fact know what they’re doing.

They’d have 2 more fit players Einstein

Don’t be so fucking stupid. Something like 17/18 games have been postponed with more to come. They’ll be laughed out of court if anyone tries to claim this one is different.

He really wasn’t. You’re so one eyed every week it’s ridiculous. The worst decision by a mile was over ruling their goal when Forster went juggling. The ref was poor, but he wasn’t biased in any way shape or from.

Why was Brentford game off? Perhaps it’s their massive influence and cheque book.

Id imagine the leagues worst nightmare is creating an environment where clubs are willing to play players who should be isolating. The shit will really hit the fan, with both the Government & public opinion. So there probably do lean towards believing the clubs. I don’t think they believe one club over the others or favour particular clubs. They’re really in a no win situation.

It tells me we committed more fouls

Do people really think clubs can just make up injuries or Covid cases and the league will say “ok it’s off”. It’s not some big conspiracy, they’ll be criteria and if you meet that, the game will be off. The last thing the league want is a fixture pile up.

Absolutely spot on. Ralph is doing what a lot of his critics have called for, yet we’re wrong?

I haven’t once called for him to be sacked this season. I wanted him replaced at the end of last season, but when he wasn’t, I’ve said I’d judge him when this season is over. Perhaps you should read through peoples posts before trying to be clever.
