I'm still struggling to get my head round why a penalty was given for an incident that was clearly off the ball (by almost half the length of the pitch). I thought free-kicks/penalties were used for 'on the ball' incidents, and cards used for all the other handbags bollocks.
Weird.

if an offence was committed inside the area even though the ball was half way up the pitch then it is a penalty
but only for serious foul play - I believe the player was only booked, but covered the refs arse

aye , m8 just never seen this happen before in my 30 years of watching footie and to cap it of ..6 mins into injury time ..ummmm
the 6mins of added time was an interesting one
when I read the report from the BBC i could only see the possiblity of 3mins being added
there were 4 substitutes in the second half while only 1 minute of play being delayed
so where Probert got 6 mins from is beyond me - it on the BBC report if you need to check
I was also reading nufc.com - back to when we played Bristol City
the same ref as yesterday
nufc.com report "City's ludicrous time-wasting tactics infuriated Rafa Benitez, but referee Chris Kavanagh saw fit to add only four additional minutes before blowing for time" yet booked Shelvey for doing the same
double standards ???
against Aston Villa
nufc.com reported "His major error (Kavanagh) looks to have been ignoring a 34th minute penalty shout on Dwight Gayle"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
Kavanagh, whose day job is as a referee development officer at the Manchester FA.
doesn't bode well if this is the standard he is developing

thought we were mint second half .. a ref is just some **** that could not play football when they were younger ..
video all the way
You sound like Mackems lads, "it's a conspiracy".
I think we've had a fair crack and have just been a touch disappointing.

This. We should have had enough points in the bag to ride out any iffy ref decisions.
To be honest I think we may have got enough points in the bag. I can see Huddersfield getting no more than 2 wins and a draw from their remaining 4 fixtures and Reading losing a game which means we are already promoted.
I'm going to have a celebratory drink and toast King Rafa the messiah on a job well done.
But we should be toasting the title.
With our squad and manager that's where the bar should have been.

It is where the bar is.
It's just that we are limboing in...

Why?
This has been bugging me for a few weeks now. Why the **** should we be toasting the title? Why should we be "walking the league" as many people have claimed? Because we're Newcastle? Because we're Billy big bollocks looking down on everyone else in the league? We do not have particularly good players mate. We don't have a divine right to win anything. Brighton have had to do pretty well to stay with us and overtake us. First and foremost they deserve credit for winning the league (assuming they do). It has baffled me how we have statements like "we should be walking the league" and in the same breath we have the people saying (quite rightly) that many of our players are ****. Forget how much was spent. It had to be spent since we had a mess of a squad which had just had the crown jewels sold, plus the rest of the personnel was dire, and players cost what they cost. I think we've got a lot of arrogant fans to be assuming we'd win the league at a canter tbh.
I'm confident we'll go up automatically and then we can start again for an even bigger challenge, but the most disappointing thing for me is how some of the players who had question marks over them have not come through and shown they are good enough. Namely..... Lascelles, Atsu, Colback, Diame, Perez, Mitrovic, Yedlin (although some may disagree and that's fair enough). Gayle did enough but he has injury issues. Shelvey has been a bit hit and miss but he has contributed a fair bit at least. Ritchie has been our best player - top marks. Clark deserves credit. Hayden okay. That's it though. Too many haven't produced the goods or taken the opportunity and the squad building is going to have to be more extensive than we probably expected a few months ago. I think you can throw some criticism at Rafa for sure (too much rotation, some subs, and certainly playing too slowly) but we've got fans expecting him to polish a turd so to speak. If your players aren't that good then the football isn't going to be that great, I'm afraid.
Aside from a few players our squad is pretty poor and Rafa has been a bit disappointing. However, the league is a quagmire and I would certainly have taken 2nd at the start of the season. Got hoping for more midway through but 2nd will do and I really hope we can manage it.
