Need to score at least one more. It's going to be a long 45 mins.

No. He was not even tripped. Maddison jumped onto his leg. He as already airborne when he touched the defender’s leg.

It was a fernandes special 

[Grebfromgrebland]

Can't wait for Brendan to change tactics now to allow Newcastle 45 mins of unrelenting pressure.

 

 

[Ric Flair]

Please please please keep a clean sheet.

Never a penalty.

 

Newcastle are woeful!

I see where you’re coming from with the penalty, it’s soft, however, when you see what had been given this weekend then it is a penalty.

I hope the Premier League or the Refs or someone look at all the penalties given this weekend and sort out VAR.

incidentally, West Ham have just been denied a stone wall penalty at Burnley.

[Jonezy]

Why did we not finish the attack that got us the pen? If that decision had been rightfully chalked of, it would have looked so dumb.

[davieG]

That's how you apply to join the SL6

[Grebfromgrebland]

You know what they say, "if you don't dive you don't get."

 

Well done madders we really needed that.

[VictorFox]

Got a 2-1 Newcastle win all over this 

[wokinghamfox]

Has to be the best dive I've ever seen from a pro player. I was actually convinced it was a pen and then

[Shamomoa]

Weve had situations many times before when we should have been given a penalty and haven't so ill take it! There's still 45 mins to go yet! So things might change anyway 😬 

[Dahnsouff]

That pen was right out of the Jamie Vardy ‘trailing leg’ text book, and I feckin love it. 

[ARTY_FOX]

We're just boring. Pass backwards more than forwards. Passed backwards when nobody was even on their way to closing our players down. Take ages on the ball before we do. Take 0 risks around the final third. Just all very boring. 

 

Possession over everything. 

[Flannel_Fox]

The penalty given was worth it just based on how much its rattled Pardew and Souness. 

[Kinowe Soorie]

I’m actually surprised how decent we’ve looked considering we lost Evans early on.

[foxes_rule1978]

We had two penalties denied against villa so I will certainly take what was given today

Beglin on NBC co-comms: "If a leg is stuck out in the box, somebody is going to fall over it."

 

Truer words ...

[mozartfox]

Lacelles stuck his leg out and invited Madders to fall over it. Penalty.    The Big 5 get them every time.  

[Phube]

Has Souness never heard of Franny Lee?

[chrisfox]

Penalty was given by the Ref and VAR... so penalty?

yep.

Second half so let's move on from it and cencetrate on the clean sheet

[TonyN11]

If Howe can spur his team on with the sense of injustice, we could be in for a tough second half

Because we're shit scared when we lose possession 

[katieakita]

soft but reviewed and penalty given and that is that, might not have been much contact on madders but plenty of late challenges going in on him

[sishades]

Lots of empty seats in the ground......
