Newcastle United v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[clash city rocker]

If we weren't in the shit yesterday  would have been an acceptable result. So I'm taking that as a positive.  If we do go down I don't want it to be total humiliation..we are capable of results , trouble is we've got a mountain to climb...so come on villa , climb the fuckin mountain. The view at the top will be fantastic.

On the matter of offside, does anyone think like I do, that when offside 'incidents' are replayed on TV, the moment when the action is paused, and purporting to show when the ball is kicked, is not actually when the ball is kicked, it's ever so slightly before the ball is kicked?

Very true.  I guess it will only look a good point if we go on to get a couple of wins over the next few weeks, a bit like after the solid display against City, because we didn't follow that up it took the shine off it.  But with more games against the teams around us its now or never...

appreciate the  thought/effort(-keep practising copying 7 letters in a name accurately  lads) sadly another post that doesnt refer to the substantive point- possible offside- merely surprised tv didnt raise it at all when it appears very close.
later price post refers to an issue i see all the time when reffing- ludicrous claims for offside from players & dreadful flagging from 'their linos' as  not judging when ball played.
re- style (which i find wonderfully ironic coming from denizens of this site)-a stream of consciousness describes in words the flow of thoughts in the mind/reactions to events;  James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Marcel Proust are among its notable early exponents-introduced in 1890;  we shall probably sign proust in jan window

personally i'd  rather stick to the football & the fact that o'neil has just spoken, for i think the 1st  time, of 'the rewriting of history' which this site  has been such a proponent of re his success/ foibles.

Can you go and be a judgemental snob somewhere else please...

It's quite odd that a 1st time poster rgarrad takes umbridge to a fairly innocuous response about a writing style. And then lumps that poster in with other posters as being part of a sad group.

This site is not for the chosen few. People often do and should disagree; if we all agreed it would be a very boring place.

Neediest poster ever to have posted on the Internet.

Strange combination of pretentiousness and terrible grammar.

[Steve R]

They were a childish and unnecessary responses, the end result is pretty much par for the course as internet boards go.

It is pretty clear now that rgarrad is not entirely new to this site but there was nothing to indicate that at the time.

6 consecutive posts & not one referred to the initial point i raised- quality indeed; must be some sort of a crime to respond to what is actually written-i was frustrated about a decision & raised a query with i thought a reasonable set of long-time supporters- remind me of the pissed up idiots who called themselves fans at the last  man u final 
how did rommel lose to this standard of discussion?

A bit lost on me I am afraid, but just to enter into the spirit of things - and to be on the safe side ..

Rgarrad, several posters have referred to your initial point about offside for the Newcastle goal.

Well indeed Rommel did lose to this standard of discussion. Which goes to show the power and strength and fortitude of the standard of discussion that has defeated you, too. Don't feel isolated even the best succumb.

i was referring to the last 6 consecutive ones that didnt- please also allow now for the elequent 'prick' quote 7th-; can now suspect what the r in steve r stands for...   
even you didnt give any opinion on the offside item, but at least werent offensive about it
