Newcastle United v Manchester United - Official Build Up / Match Day Thread

I agree and if I'm honest games against the top 4 are games in which results are a bonus so we can just move on, however the derby is the derby and we have been poor all season so far.

anything could happen I'll be honest.

 

if we hadn't had a miracle season last season everyone would have been happy that we made them worry for long periods! I said at the start of the season this season would be a reality check and was ridiculed by some.

we are a mid table side to 7th tops so I'm not to bothered about our performance against a very good side.

 

We were beaten by a better team today, yes some decisions didn't go our way, but let the FA sort that out if there are issues to be addressed, we didn't play well, and at times it was painful to watch, we know we can do better, let's hope we find some form for the Derby.

 

Shame we let in two soft, early goals because I think we could have caused them serious problems today. It just wasn't our day, as shown by the non-penalty for the shirt pull and the decision to not give a goal for the ball which looked to have been scooped back by the keeper from behind the line.

 

I hope Krul, Taylor, Colo and Simmo are all back for the derby.

 

yes or we will lose every game until they are! it's sooo snnoying because if we had risked a few quid on Debuchy and Douglas we would have had a chance of top 6 again this season and perhaps keeping our best players. I feel it's highly likley we will lose our best players if we don't get into europe next season.

 

We showed them too much respect, the game was all over in the first half.

We improved a hell of lot in the second half, but it was too little too late. That player they had that wore the yellow top had a blinder for them. Definitely the MOTM.

 

I see what you done there AB

 

His red scarf was blowing in his eyes a lot of the time and he missed a lot of decisions that should have gone our way.

I'm not saying they didn't deserve to win, but he certainly helped them more than he helped us.

He wasn't a homer in footballing terms ( favouring the home team ) but he most certainly acted like one in other ways.

 

He missed the pen which at the time if we had scored we would have had every chance of coming back.

He missed RVP'S straight red

He could be forgiven for the goal as I'm not sure of it was or it wasn't


things just went for them today and not us, however let's be fair and say we have two points thanks to refereeing decisions.

 

A lot of his decisions today were very strange

 

I think he had a bad game in general, not necessarily in Man Utd's favour though. Why was Tiote booked? It wasn't for the foul (which wasn't even a foul), he didn't kick the ball away, didn't square up to the ref, he just jumped up and down in frustration, how is that a yellow?

 

I thought he gave many favorable decisions to them but thought we were very poor today, while they probably put in their best performance of the season and just made sure they completed the job. Can see them winning the league if they play like that.

 

It would appear that you're not allowed to be passionate about your football. I often wonder if any of these refs played the game as a kid and have a love of the game or if it's just another job for them.

 

Ah yes he didnt miss anything you guys did though.....

No stamps by any Newcastle players on and Man Utd players.

Nope, not one, they never happened

 

Lads, out of interest.....

what were these favourable decisions you speak of?

Penalty - Never in a million years, we had a better claim last week and we got **** all so not a penalty this week either.

RVP - Havent seen it since but Cabaye took a while to actually chuck himself to the ground and didnt seem much to it on the initial replay. Will have to see what the FA says as I dont really know on this.

Erm..... our players were booked for fouls they commited, Kagawa was harsh but no complaints there.

Tiote booking was strange but then when we look at his stamp on Cleverly he was very lucky to be in a position to get booked for his crazy reaction

The ball that didnt cross the line, the rule states 100%. It wasnt. Any of you confident enough to say it was 100% over? Saw 4 replays immediately after and none showed the whole ball over. Not a goal lads.

 

Get a white stick !!!!!!


never a pen - come on mate

deliberate off the ball elbow to the face - red card - RVP was smurking about it man.

It's bad enough people crwoing about winning but you denying what's plain and simple is ridiculous.

on another note the one you should have had last week means nothing to us and has nothing to do with these incidents.

try to locate your brain like a mouse locates piece of cheese and get past the bias that being a fan creates.


Here I'll do it and say on another day Tiote could have been sent off.


the not a goal I'm not sure but what was ashame for us was we were denied a pen at 2-0 when we were on top and then a marginal decision and then to rub salt in our wounds RVP lamps are best player and gets away with it whilst running towards a camera grinning, then you come along and piss in my face.

 

He's been warned

 

enjoy now do one
