We just have to be smart now, we have 2 players on a yellow, don’t give the ref any reason to make it into a red

 

[Gerrardsitchyear]

It was a **** challenge, not quite a red though.

It's the Geordie's fault though, they've got themselves too worked up and not thinking clearly.

 

[Milk..]

Ref hands were tied, had to give a red

Yes, tying up the ref is a always a red card offence.

 

[Bumps]

So the reverse to two years ago on the cards now
Damn it

 

[Milk..]

Liverpool fan Gordon, making sure Newcastle only have 10 men! Good job Gordon!

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Btw should have been a second yellow.

Hooper by not giving the clear yellow failed to control the game and Gordon being Gordon took the liberty to keep on going.

Hooper is lucky vvd.doesnt have a broken ankle.or ripped ligaments

 

[Milk..]

Newcastle are REALLY going to be short forwards for their next fixture now.

 

[Solid Air]

how would he get the card out of his pocket ?

 

[The IncREDibles]

Thought we generally did well out of possesion. Still pretty rusty in possession but we're 1-0 up so no complaints.

That's when the linesman cheekily reaches his hand down the ref's pocket for him.

 

[Tiresias]

Need to see more of Palindrome ,not been in the game.

If you look at it again, Gordon lined up VVD from a distance, high tackle , off feet out of control and made contact with the leg, what bit do you think wasn’t deserving of a red card

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Oh no!!!!!

Tragedy. The missus left the milk out and its split in my tea.

Oh well quick var and thats sorted

 

[Milk..]

Silver lining for Newcastle of course though is that if it had to happen- getting a red right before half time means they have a chance to work out a strategy and plan around it for the 2nd half.

 

[The IncREDibles]

The only reason I thought it wasn't a red at first is because I only half saw it.

 

[HugoEkitikeN01]

We have the advantage of playing Newcastle when they are one man down.
We need to score more goals to kill the game off.

I hope the ref doesn't feel like he has to "even things up" by giving harsher judgements against us until it's 10v10... although I don't think refs are quite as bad as they were a decade ago for that kind of thing.

tbf that goes for most of the team .

 

[monty987]

Lol he must be barmy Gordon he gets players sent off enough, they were dominating then that wonder goal like Tommy watson's at Wembley! Burn could be off next got 1-3 bet.

 

[saintanton]

Awful first half from Hooper - lets too much go so inevitably there is either a serious injury, a red card, or both.
Take control of a grudge match from the start, take no nonsense and don't shirk your responsibility to protect players from reckless challenges.
Utter crap from him the whole time.
Btw, I said we'll score the first goal 2 minutes before we did. The game just had that feel to it, completely up against it and a goal against the run of play seems to happen so often when it's like that.
