Looked a foul on Phillips for me

 

[Tommy Chong]

That is NOT a penalty.

Make sure the boys at the consulate are watching. Because if that's not given...

Tell all your strikers to wait for a defender to clear the ball, put your foot in front of them when clearing it, wait for contact and dive

It's honestly madness. What are they meant to do to defend that? Are defenders not meant to make an attempt to play the ball because some little snide is going to run into their kick with no attempt at actually getting to the ball but just instead seeking to get kicked?

The fact it happened twice is madness but at least you can say they've been consistent in this bizarre application of the rules.

[Billy Dean]

Good player Barnes

 

[Tommy Chong]

3-3... FFS Moyes! Sort it!

It's the second time Gordon has jumped into a player trying to kick the ball and won a penalty. Neither time was he actually attempting to play the ball or ever getting there.

He put his foot in the way and was closer to the ball. If he hadn't have been vollied, he'd have the ball.

Seen plenty of similar ones that are given as pens

Gordon has came from behind and wrapped his leg in front of him. Philips has gone for the ball, and doesn't even know Gordon is there. It's Gordon's fault!

It's another of those "won" penalties that only "certain teams" get.

Classic Moyes

 

[sdk]

Oh my.

 

[Efcjake]

There it is. Newcastle haven't earned anything from this.

I hope Moyes goes ballistic

 

[Efcjake]

Classic Moyes

They've been stitched up here with two very dodgy pens imo

Very, very cynical for me.

 

[JohnRoss23]

Pathetic that was a penalty.
