[malwayne]

**** off Mal,they played really well tonight and didn't deserve to lose ,if you've nothing positive to say don't bother. Buda will be onnext phookin moaning and groaning.Yes we lost but it was a cracking game and we had enough chances to win. It.
You're all a set of moaning cnuts. So what we lost again but didn't deserve to.

Where was the backbone in the first 7 minutes ?

Bruno knew where it was because he pushed our player in the back but we don't get free kicks for that and the ref let them have the goal. Terrible decision.
Edwards was held back twice by Tonali ---no free kicks. Jolinton gets tugged back on the edge of our box by Fiorentino ---free kick.
Simple decisions not given knock the stuffing out of a team and moreso when they are struggling.
I no longer understand the Laws of the Game or their interpretation and that is after playing and officiating at semi-pro level for well over 50 years!

[ClaretinBudapest]

After the first 10 minute ****show we played half decent.Second half the same until JBL cam on for Tchauma.Then we looked like the Burnley we know under Cardy.
JBL and Ekdal could not get in a VK team yet Cardy uses them all the time.Ekdal would not get in a Championship squad.He is a complete liability.
Parker is way past his sell by date now.Time to go.

That push in the back was so obvious-as you are the oracle Sub, why was it not given as a foul?

What’s the point of giving a team a two goal lead, then you come on here telling me , and everyone else,they played well, when we lose 1-3, with the final goal of the game , something you’d see at Townley Park on a Sunday morning ? I’d rather see us play s•••e and win 1-0 , and move up the table. Football is a results business, and come the first week of May , you are judged by your league position, not how well you have played. That’s the harsh reality of the game we all love.
Come back on here at the end of the season and tell everyone how well we played. You will embarrass yourself even further than you are now.

[Vintage Claret]

In the first 7 minutes our defence looked like they had never played together.

From then until our first substitution we played very well showing some backbone and skill.

Then he decides to replace Tchaouna with Bruun Larson, a player who runs into trouble rather than take on his man or pass to a team mate.

The second substitutions replacing Ugochukwo and Florentino with Barnes and Tressor virtually surrended mid-field to Newcastle.

Their third goal was even worst than schoolboy football, does Dubravka and Ekdal know a common language.

As I said "..........I no longer understand the Laws of the Game or their interpretation and that is after playing and officiating at semi-pro level for well over 50 years!"
I certainly do not understand Rob Jones's interpretation of the Laws after his performance at Leeds a few years ago in his first PL game and his performance at Nottingham Forest in our game there.

Fiorentino was cautioned for his slight tug on Jolinton, however, later in the game, Jolinton, who had already been booked, commits a cynical trip to stop our attack and does not get a second yellow. That is the second consecutive game with Jonesi n the middle that he has not issued second yellows to players. I have just given up trying to understand what is going on at the top level and I am friends with a top referee.
We don't discuss things any more because it is not fair to him.

Here goes Mal.

We played and showed a bit of heart I think tonight ( I’m just back now ) however switched off for their goals and offered them a two goal lead when we struggle to score 1 never mind 3.

Questions to be asked for me.

Why drop Humphrey’s when he’d played well

Why has Edwards been on the bench ( sometimes unused until the 19 the game.

Why is Hannibal on the bench every week same as above

Why does Parker consistently pick certain players

Why do we keep giving teams starts and the. Wander why we can’t get back
In the game

Where was Fleming ? ( is he injured or has Cardy pissed him off ).

Why. Do we persist in a 5 starting formation
It showed on stats as 4-3-3 but we played 5 and left Broja running on his own.

Why do we stand and watch / admire passes or runs without supporting our team mates it’s school boy

Why do we not play a creative midfield man when it’s crying out for one - the two central boys were big strong but don’t know how to create.

Why oh why do we persist in playing football in front of the opposition’s defensive line instead of getting runners in behind or in the channels - they came today a team who have struggled away from home and scoring goals and their first thought was get at our back line in between back and wide men - I’m not the manager but when I watch it against us every week movement and timed runs etc I’m sure I’d think we should try that.

He has to go I’m afraid - I do believe they really tried to save his job tonight

[Vintage Claret]

Parkers starting team selections and his poor substitutions are strange at the best, it is not hard to see why his previous managerial experiences in the EPL have ended badly for him, and it seems this season is not going to be any different.

Surely Alan Pace can see what happend in the past is certainly going to happen again if action is not take before the January transfer window opens. Please do not let Parker deal with this transfer window and waste more money.

Rob Jones is without a shadow of a doubt the worst referee in the EPL. I absolutely believe he tipped tonight's game firmly in the favour of NUFC. He needs binning.

Clarets gift wrapped Eddie Howe a late Christmas present.

Burnley suffered an undeserved loss but it is not possible to gift a team like Newcastle three goals and hope to get something out of a game.

I really am at a loss to understand why we defend so poorly after last season's defensive security.

Broja, Humphreys, Edwards, Ugochukwa and Florentina collectively did not deserve to be on a losing side.

Where does Alan Pace go from here?

We showed lots of endeavour without much focus ( the rudderless ships springs to mind ).

The players tried hard to get something but the fact s are there for all to see the man at the top sadly isn’t capable of sorting out the bad habits / formation and issues we have.

As per my post before how can and will
He justify Edward’s benched for 17/18
Games when he looks like the only creative spark or chance we have of producing something in a game - that is obviously a failing but then when he does play him his tactics afford the team to stand and Watch to see if Edwards can do it on his own or lose possession ( that is unforgivable as a management trait - we are meant to be fighting for our lives and larger pay packets - not leaving others to do the job.).
That is a coaching management responsibility

Hannibal is the same scenario- but he obviously can’t manage him so the team can benefit.

Players who play / played well in previous game dropped following game - what does that do to a person ?

Once happened to me in a county cup game against higher leagues opposition and I got Mom so much so that opposing team asked for my number with a view to play for them - the following Saturday I was benched for league game - I asked why the manger couldn’t answer - I never played for him again

The moral is it dented my confidence or affected me so it will affect the likes of Humphrey’s even though it’s waged and a job.


Above all of that and it’s relevant Parker does not know his best 11 and he doesn’t know how to set them up - or he thinks he does know and I’ll be brutally honest he’s wrong.

When we don’t concentrate and concede shabby goals and players just stand and admire while others have their hearts bursting out of their chests - the man whos ’meant to be steering our ship has lost his compass.

[ballcock]

Yesterday was a chalk and cheese job. The 1st 10 minutes were a disaster as was the last 5, and the in-between we played well.

Goals conceded 1&3 were the fault of Ekdal, it was the Joelinton goal that gave me the most anxiety. Ekdal conceeds these type of goals every time he plays, he either lets his opponent get across him, doesn't get close or just switches off

Like Army says its criminal that our most creative player Edwards, has been fit and only started 2 games this season, it says it all really

Anyother club in our position would have sacked Parker 3 or 4 games a go, but our lot do nothing. I really would like to know wtf is going on down there. Once again due to their lack of action they are making a right proper mess of this Premier league season.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I would love to know who is actually in charge of the club and is allowing Parker to blow our chance of a second consecutive season in the EPL. Bringing Barnes and Tresor on in the 88th was pfhucking laughable.
