Standard of Refereeing

[danno]

Newcastle have had favourable refereeing since their takeover. Burn and Joelinton should have had double the yellow cards they have accumulated over the past few seasons.

I’m still pondering whether I hate Joelinton or Richarlison more? Both ugly dirty thuggish players who get away with blue murder on a weekly basis.

That referee was a disgrace. Newcastle were constantly pushing and pulling at our players shirts.

The rotational fouling by the Newcastle midfield as soon as we started to break kyesterday drove me mad. Firstly it was Joelinton then Tonali then Guimares and then back to Joelinton. Man City got away with this for years. A 'team fouls' law would kill this off.

Joelinton seems to get booked every game.

I loved that Dan Burn blatant shove on Olly I think it was  .  My god , it was fuck it I do not even need to hide it

Telling us what we all know but this from the article.

Speaking on Match Officials Mic'd Up - a television programme which analyses VAR decisions from previous gameweeks - PGMOL chief refereeing officer Webb acknowledged the error.

Unless it is the last two weeks of the season in which case we ignore everything.

Has anyone seen an angle that shows Bizot actually making contact with the Palace lad for the penalty? The MOTD angle wasn't clear at all whether contact was made.

The referee was, of course, Shithouse Division 2 inadequate Atwell, but I thought the VAR official had a job to do there.
