Took all that long to make a decision, just fuck this shit. VAR should have a time out, no decision after one minute, goal stands.

Agreed, and make the lines thicker so any ambiguity is eliminated.

Why hasn’t Downes come on?

Thought the defender might have flicked it on but he missed it.

He didn’t miss it - you can clearly see the balls trajectory change slightly as it leaves the defenders head. But no, VAR too fucking corrupt to consider that.

He'll get booked and get banned for 10 yellows?

Yep. They'd have found that had it been the other way around. Cheats!

Because he is absolute dogcack

No point. Won't make much difference. Substandard like the rest of them. 

[OttawaSaint]

Bournemouth 5-0 Forest. Must be nice.

Just feel Lallana and Smallbone is a strange combination.

Fuck me, they will tear us a new one in a few weeks time

That will be a fun one, when they come here in a few weeks and completely destroy us.

Is that 6 defeats in a row for Juric now? 

Think so, he has improved some things getting more crosses in and a more attacking style and improved some players and made some things worse, defensively huge question marks

The juric is out as they say

At this rate we'll be lucky if we score 5 more goals all season, let alone in one game.

That’ll be another new one then.

Newcastle running around more in the 90th minute than we did in the first half 😂

Lallana was just a strange signing all round. Just another string to our shite recruitment. What actual value has he been all season? 

[Maury Dyer]

How's our new manager bounce going then ?

Yeah we would've lost all 6 regardless tbh. Absolute state of this team.

I thought a decent manager could get a tune out if this lot. So.

1) Is Juric not decent?

2) Does RM deserve less vitriol?

3) Players are now just totally shot mentally so it's not a fair question?

I think the team mentally gave up after Martin heads all on the beach ⛱️

He’s a great voice in the dressing room or so I’ve been told.

We'll score 5 easily - how many VAR allow to stand is a different matter entirely

He points and talks.

All over.

Same again next week? Why are we bothering 😳

My voice is pretty good, sure I could have done that job for half the salary

[Convict Colony]

Based on this chat the only positive i can take is that we didnt give them a gift of a goal and they had to score them themselves.

 

[Jimmy_D]

Yet more points we’ve been cheated of by the utterly worthless ****s officiating.

Maybe for the rest of the season we could put on a historic match against the same opposition and just comment on that instead?

It's Ipswich next, so we could maybe watch the 1-3 win in 2001/2 when Chris Marsden scored that Messi-like goal?

 

[OttawaSaint]

To quote a Geordie in the movie theater in Newcastle I was in who was leaving after watching 3 hours of Vanilla Sky, "well that were shite!".

[AlexLaw76]

Away to Ipswich next week… imagine losing that lol

[ErwinK1961]

Hate to break it to you all, but we can officially no longer win the title 😔

[Harry_SFC]

KWP gone judging by that

[It's There]

Don’t blame the players. Recruitment has let us down, particularly a rickie Albert style . We need stronger players and fit ones too. Then we can properly judge the manager. The players we have are just not good enough. Perhaps the new loaner will help…

Even Pep would struggle to get anything out of that squad....

[Convict Colony]

So Tall Paul, Jan, Bree and Fernandes the best players.

Also one for @Matthew Le God has McCarthy ever saved a penalty for us in the premier league ?

 

[Saint86]

Not acceptable for the players to just drop their heads every time it starts to go against them. It's just disgusting and hugely disrespectful to the club and players. 3 games in a row now where they tekoarioy give up and concede goals in quick succession - fans need to start really getting on them, it just isn't acceptable.

And to think we still have 14 more matches to go...

My mate just said forfeit the season.

I wouldn't be against that.

What's the points penalty?

I would rather do that than go the full season and still come up short on Derby's record, forfeit would give us something to hide behind at least.

[Cricketphilly]

We simply are not a premier league club now, we have nowhere near the resources and we've just played a club owned by a rich country. Ipswich have thrown a fortune at it and will get relegated too. It's a closed shop. 

[Baird of the land]

Thought that was a decent display against a very good team. Next week is going to be the big test.

i’d still like us to look to get the ball into the box more.

would love to see how the game would have enfolded if they hadn’t been awarded that disgraceful penalty by var.

[It's There]

When we scored the atmosphere was great… and too quickly they equalised and heads dropped. It’s not surprising. We need a lot of luck to get our season going/ not humiliated!

[Baz Fl]

Stop blaming VAR, Refs and Managers, this squad is shite. Recruiting and board should take all the responsibility along with poor players. We clearly don’t belong in the top league. Can’t have 4-5 Premier League level players and still hope to do well.

That and the disallowed goal.

Problem is we play some good football and then basically let them run through and easily score time and time again. So all the morale boosting hard work is wasted. 

Got to sort of the defence or it's going to keep happening.
