Anyway I'm going to be looking out tomorrow night for all the Toon cheating. @Sucky will be var assist.
Are we going to stop the game retrospectively because there has been a foul anywhere on the pitch? Or is it just set pieces? Who gets to decide what incidents to look at? One was looked at - resulting in United's penalty. One was not - United goal. Its farking nonsense.
It is nonsense but fans keep paying to watch it, so the Prem League don't care because it don't hurt their pocket, it's a captive market meaning they can do what they want.
Something I did notice today is that Sky had Carragher on the Everton game and he just couldn’t manage to congratulate the winning side. Today was a weird one, spent time with the family and wasn’t even that fussed about watching the game, I was making lunch for the kids while it was on.
if anything I'd say the controversy of var probably makes them more money, because fans will watch the Chelsea and Man Utd, to say how the opposition was robbed, so in fact it's playing on the rivalry....much the same way Farage does in politics. If fans actually turned it off instead, companies like SKY would see their advertising audiences go down and look to investigate why the fans are turning away in their droves...but they won't turn away because we are mugs that like being mugged.
To be honest Mick I've not paid any attention to the stories, so I'm not even sure where that story is at.
Look forward to seeing all you Toon lads on here tomorrow night, beating the mighty Liverpool....no excuses...
If we do get beat..we've still just won a cup and are in the CL, it's a great time to be a Newcastle fan.
