Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace
On the plus side at least we didn't ship 5 like West Ham. The away form has been poor all season, how we finish will likely come down to the next 3 (two at home and Burnley away), because I don't fancy us going to Old Trafford needing something.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace
Longstaff's in, Hughes is beaten and pulls across him with his arm. You can talk about contact all you like with attempted tackles, but he's clearly impeded him in the area, it's a clear penalty.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace
One thing that's clear from this season is the likes of Murphy, Krafth, Longstaff, Lascelles, Dubravka need to be giving us 110% just to keep up with the players around them. When they are off it, it's become so noticeable. Think it could take 3-4 more windows to really address the squad quality as...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace
Barnes needs to stop trying the little cute things and just have a strike. He's brilliant and doing good things, but he'd be far more productive.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Palace
I've brought Harry Maguire into my draft team simply for their upcoming fixtures, so 0-0 would be fine. Or a 4-3 loss where he gets a hat trick.

Re: Football Titbits
Let's not forget he's only just 23 too, so he's showing great maturity for that age even if he may have been a t*** previously.

Re: Transfer Rumours/Wishlist
I've said it before but Joelinton is the more irreplaceable, there really aren't many midfielders like him. Bruno is brilliant but his attributes are already covered to an extent by Tonali, and of course you'd hope we sign a replacement should he go.
Fingers crossed he stays of course.

Re: Midweek football - 23/25 April 2024
I don't want to be that guy, but I hope you have a horrible evening. My uncle is from Bingley so while I'd never go to the extent of saying I have a second team, I've been to Valley Parade a fair few times and they're in unusually good form.

Re: Weekend football - 20/21 April 2024
VAR just hasn't been worth the trade off and the game is worse off for it imo. Any level-headed fan would have told you that decisions even themselves over the course of a season. It's unquestionably taken the joy out of celebrating a goal as everything now has to be reviewed - for the ref to then ...

Re: Weekend football - 20/21 April 2024
Finally seen the highlights, first two aren't pens, 3rd one probably is. Clattenburg has doubled down in his Daily Mail column (yes, that is a thing) in an article that at no point mentions he's a Nottingham Forest employee. I actually hope the league throws the book at them, it's Arteta level embar...

Re: Weekend football - 20/21 April 2024
That's a very good point, realistically VAR came in (eventually) in response to Henry's handball vs Ireland, and it's those absolute howlers that we'd still like to see prevented. Sadly though the genie is out of the bottle and we are now scrutinising everything, adding a second subjective review to...

Re: Weekend football - 20/21 April 2024
Case in point is our goal v Arsenal, 3 separate checks over 4 minutes, goal still stands, Arteta goes mental, independent panel later agree it was fine. Arteta got away with it with his hilarious "no hablo Ingles" routine, Forest won't.

Re: Weekend football - 20/21 April 2024
But you're saying they're rerefereeing, if there's no VAR there the outcome is the same, no penalty. So what's the solution, another layer of VAR (that won't improve things) or an acceptance that referees will make mistakes?
