Newcastle v Wolves comms thread.

[shaygriff]

Ok. It’s 100% a penalty. Not even debatable.

Norwegian coms said it wasn't

 

[Wolf316]

Gomes,RAN and Neto on for Pod,Mouts and Jonny

 

[VancouverWolf]

Why are we so bad?…..Newcastle are not supermen…….they shouldn’t be running rings around us

 

[jrpb-3]

Ref quite a long way back and from angle may not have had a clear view of Pope take Jimenez out with his shoulder, but why in these cases can't the ref ask for help, tell VAR I didn't have a great view is there a foul there. Seems VAR just decided it wasn't a clear and obvious error. In Rugby the Ref would be asking VAR to look at it

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

It’s a red card for Dan burn

A red card for pope and a penalty for wolves

Absurd

 

[colincameron]

The trick is to never, ever give sides like us the original decision so they can always play the 'clear and obvious error' card.

You've cracked it. 100%.

 

[marrs-guitar]

Adama off Neto on

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

We're lucky to be only 1-0 down - time to reset and show a similar 2nd half performance to what we saw at St Mary's.

Also seriously bin VAR off - what's the point. If the ref isn't sent to the screen today when he's 50 yards away from play, why do they need it when a fouls been committed 10 yards away from them. Zero consistency in application is what is wrong with this system.

Well said. In real time, I didn't think it was a foul. But the whole point of VAR is that things that are fouls which lead to game changing events can be retrospectively fixed. Awful as he constantly is, I don't blame the ref. He's miles away.

VAR should be interceding. Madness not to.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

How they can say not a clear and obvious error is beyond me
That said we are very lucky not to be 3 down after that

 

[Topcat]

Forget the penalty decision, either way.

We are our own worst enemy at times and that’s reflected in the result so far!

Let’s see how JL reacts at halftime, will be interesting to see how he sets us up second half to at least rescue a point?

 

[Rhoswolf]

Blatant cheating/corruption, no excuses whatever @Hot Fuss says.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

My comms agreed that it was a clear dive

Still think it was a “clear dive”? An utterly wrong and corrupt decision. Same for their free kick that they scored from. What comms do you have, Newcastle TV?

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

No, not for me either

Well I have not seen anyone say they do have it so is this supposed to be a lineker moment?

 

[Chuck Murray]

Yet our own fans on here slagging Raul off for diving

If so, then why not a yellow to Raul? Clear red all day long to me, except Madely has effed us over again.

Can Julen ask this bent ref not be given our games any more, as Nuno did with Mason not long ago?

Pitiful, but hardly surprising now, isn't it (rolleyes) ...

****ed isn’t it

 

[SquaddieWolf]

1 "fan"

Think it was 2 tbh

 

[Perton Wolf]

Traore off but not Podence? Really?

 

[DPE]

Adama off Neto on.

 

[Wolf316]

Adama off Neto on

WTF!

[Aimless Balls]

It was clumsy goalkeeping and clumsy embellishment. Should’ve been left to the pen gods, if it weren’t fair Raul would’ve missed.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Traore off but not Podence? Really?

Strange

 

[Timberwolf]

Traore for Neto…? Pod stays on…????

 

[Wolf316]

How the **** does Podence stay on?

 

[Perton Wolf]

**** off Podence

 

[JOSWolf]

What the hell is podence doing?

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Oh good, our one threat is taken off.

 

[Erick1011]

Podence should’ve been axed at half time

 

[Jeru360]

Not happy with the sub -

 

[goldeneyed]

Pretty poor so far. How on earth can we score more goals with the current tactics. Cunha should be playing alongside Raul and behind them should be a proper attacking midfielder. Raul alone up front is given an impossible task with no support. Moutinho is not an attacking midfielder. He is the guy you bring on with 20 minutes to go to help exert midfield control on a match. We never seem to learn. Why oh why do we score so few goals? Surely Loptegui can see the current set up does not work. If Cunha is supposedly worth £43m play him in his best position as a 10 just behind Raul.

As to that criminal failure by the ref re Pope who undoubtedly fouled....no VAR,,,,If that had been Newcastle it would have been an automatic penalty.

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

Ref decisions before VAR = ****
Ref decisions after introduction of technology = ****
See the constant PGMOL?

 

[Aimless Balls]

Adama was the issue?

 

[Ned]

Hah, on the top statement my daughters come in the boozer and says she wants to go park, misses given us the 'i want to go' eyes and I'll gladly accept, best of luck gents and ladies with the rest of this watch!

And on next week’s edition of something that didn’t happen?

 

[BCWolf]

WTF was that from Lemina?

WTF was that from Podence?

FFS

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

Jeez Podence....

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Lol. Come on Pod. I'm your main fan here. Making me look a right mug!

 

[Timberwolf]

Jeeeeesuzzzzz! Pod!

 

[Locks Heath Wolf]

That’s three passes astray in 90 seconds jeez

 

[Royal wolf]

Is JL taking the ****

 

[Tring Wolf]

Strange. I thought Adama looked good today.
