Chances of the ref giving us a big call over Liverpool... approximately 0% I'm just glad the referee didn't give Rondon a straight red card for kicking the ball at him.
What's the rules on that ? Surely the ref should go back and send him off for deliberate handball preventing a goal, even though Toon scored. ?
Don't think I've ever seen that happen. In truth the goal is punishment enough. At least we're actually playing now. Would love it to be a 4-3, also nice to watch without being hugely emotionally involved, the actual result makes no real difference to us so no excuse to not have a go.
If Toon hadn't scored, he'd definitely of walked. But in the rules, should he not still be punished for deliberately stopping a goal with his hand ?
Once again lads, if you could just see your way to waiting 4 mins before posting, so that my ****e house stream can catch up. Cheers.
No chance that ****house Marriner gives a pen and a red for that against the RS in this game mate. The Geordies gave it a decent go for 25 minutes, the RS will score again shortly, game over.
To be fair it's an odd one. It's a big decision for a ref to disallow a goal and make them take a penalty instead plus the red. Or is it simply a play advantage, I dont really know
should be a pen & red, I remember it happening to us years ago v Derby when they had Shilton in goal.
The goal saved him from having to **** out of giving a handball plus a red, which I’m convinced he wouldn’t have done. In terms of the rules, he’s stopped a goal with his hand so it is a red, but the fact the rebound went in means he didn’t deny a goal I suppose.
