Also they have no onus to get at us. E.g. Burnley

Was great to see the real Illy back.
Pickford, what more can you say about the lad.

Beto tho, his effort really stood out.

The Newcastle fans seem to be taking defeat well today ….

That would have been a red card for Hall if it hadn't gone in off Barry

Should have been a red anyway, regardless of the goal going in. What if he had scored an equaliser after committing that foul?

Haha he forgot Pope being better than Pickford.

Had a stream on while we were on the stadium tour. Celebrating us going 1-0 up while walking out the tunnel to Z Cars was so weird yet incredible

I love us

It's a tricky one. I'm not sure he can be sent off for denial of a goalscoring opportunity when the ball went into the net and the goal was given.

No, you obviously can't be sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity when the opportunity happens. Just like you don't get a yellow for preventing a promising attack if the attack actually occurs.

We win away a lot because we sit back and play for the counter, why can’t we do that at home as well? I know the onus is always on home teams to dominate but 90% of teams will come to us and still want to win. Just let them have the ball and counter at home too.

If we try that on Tuesday Vs Burnley it'll be like the Father Ted Walking Football episode

 

[Rodebaard]

Happy with the win, especially a team Gordon is playing.

Has he had a decent game against us yet? Always seems to struggle
