Knob styles strikes again.

Thrill · 20-10-2008 8:18pm

Penalty for man city plus red card for newcastle. Habib Beye.

penalty........scored.

Soby · 20-10-2008 8:18pm

Poor decision!

Pepe LeFrits · 20-10-2008 8:19pm

Sad state of affairs if Rob Styles is one of the best referees that the PL can find.

Mr.Nice Guy · 20-10-2008 8:20pm

That was a total travesty.

Soby · 20-10-2008 8:23pm

What happend that young ref...is he still around the prem?

Pighead · 20-10-2008 8:23pm

Ah c'mon lads, give Styles a break. That looked for all the world a penalty in real time. Especially if you were looking at it from behind the tackle.

Villain · 20-10-2008 8:26pm

IF you watched the ball you would clearly see it was a great tackle, my half blind mother would have seen it, Styles is a blind muppet and if he thinks apologising again will save him he's mistaken he'll be reffing championship or lower this weekend. Disgrace

From behind was the best view..you could see the ball change direction from beye's touch

MementoMori · 20-10-2008 8:32pm

I think the penalty decision could well have destroyed Newcastle's chances, and any chance of a decent game.

City seem content to hang on to possession in the knowledge that chances will present themselves against ten men.

Stat of the night : - there have been six managers since Shola Ameobi last scored for Newcastle :eek::eek::eek: Seriously son think it might be time for you to pack in this football lark

Bollox she would have. For a start there is no way that your mother would have been anywhere near close enough to have made a judgement on that tackle. The move started in the City half and within seconds it had resulted in that tackle a full 70 metres away in the Newcastle penalty area. Your half blind mother would have been still floundering about in the City half, absolutely no way in hell she could have seen anything. Don't be giving me that shit.

Villain · 20-10-2008 8:38pm

She's sitting down watching the TV and she saw it

You should have gone to specsavers

Bollox she is. Your story is full of holes. It wouldn't surprise me if you don't even have a mother.

Villain · 20-10-2008 8:40pm

LOL she actually is

Thrill · 20-10-2008 8:49pm

Messy goal but they all count. 1-1

What a time for you to say that.

mike65 · 20-10-2008 8:53pm

Heh, Kinnear must have wondering if he could buy some luck, and Ameobi :rolleyes: manages not to miss from 6 yards.

Mike

MementoMori · 20-10-2008 8:57pm

What can I say I have skills

This is pretty much the reason I don't gamble anymore -

Sadly it doesnt look like Duff will pick up an assist which wouldhave been nice especially after his poor effort pretty much straight at Hart earlier.

I'd imagine Hughes is skinning the City players in the dressing room.

The match was there for the taking after the first goal yet for the last ten minutes there you wouldn't even think Newcastle were down to ten men.

In the hope there will be more goals, I will now predict the match to remain 1-1 after 90 mins.

Pighead · 20-10-2008 8:58pm

Unreal. Can't believe Newcastle equalized. Not even Villains mother could have seen that coming.

Man City should still win though I reckon. 3-1 sounds good to me.

Guy:Incognito · 20-10-2008 9:27pm

Cookie monster with a cracker of an og volley.:)

Thrill · 20-10-2008 9:29pm

Deserved . They've been on top in this second half so far.

Frisbee · 20-10-2008 9:30pm

Had a bet with PP that Dunne would score.
Reckon they'll pay out on that?

Sherifu · 20-10-2008 9:31pm

Lol, poor Dunne.

Villain · 20-10-2008 9:31pm

If Newcastle win this Joe Kinnear will be a legend.

Limerick Dude · 20-10-2008 9:32pm

2-1 to toon!

dunne own goal!

Villain · 20-10-2008 9:32pm

Oh and Duffer really is getting back to near his best. Great to see

No but I'd say he's used up any chance he did have of winning it.

Guy:Incognito · 20-10-2008 9:45pm

lol that was comical from Evans.Acts all hard when he's on top of Taylor then takes off at full pelt when he looks likt hes getting up. pussy.

Dave! · 20-10-2008 9:49pm

Bloody cracking save there from Given

Thrill · 20-10-2008 9:49pm

Great save.

dr.bollocko · 20-10-2008 9:50pm

Who did not see that coming?!
2-2

Frisbee · 20-10-2008 9:50pm

Thankyou Steven Ireland!
At least one of my bets came off tonight...

Sherifu · 20-10-2008 9:51pm

Good for the fantasy team! Good man Ireland.

_blank_ · 20-10-2008 9:52pm

International retirement ftw

Thrill · 20-10-2008 9:53pm

oooooohh, close. Nearly nicked it there.

mike65 · 20-10-2008 10:11pm

A moral victory for Joe Kinnear. A peno that was "marginal", lost a man but gained fighting spirit. City were once again shown to be talented paper tigers.

Mike

estebancambias · 20-10-2008 10:19pm

Robinho doesn't look that good at the moment. Duff looked pretty decent, and Stevie Ireland. Have to say as an Irish player whether he plays for us or not is still representing our country in some form so to see him do well is good.

PLEASE COME BACK

dr.bollocko · 20-10-2008 10:22pm

Bit heartbreaking though considering he would be such an asset in a green jersey.

Charlie · 20-10-2008 10:23pm

Woooooo, that was a rollercoaster.

I won't say what I think of Styles, as i'm likely to be banned, but that was a woeful decision. Habib is a class player, and we may well have now lost him for 3 games, and it reduced us to fighting an uphill battle from the start.

Great workrate from the lads tonight, all of them. I thought the defence played superbly given they were down a man. City had lots of possession, but every time they got to the final third we shut them out.

Well done Shola. I have been a fierce critic of his, and still am, but not even including the goal, he ran his socks off tonight for us, exactly what we needed. That's all we ask for.

Duffer looked good again today, and the linkup between himself and Geremi was very good. I liked how every time a ball was played through, he'd look to skin man quickly, or step over the ball and allow the pace to continue. Last season he'd slw down all too often on the charge.

I guess a point is about fair given the start we got off to, and the fact that we didn't hammer their goal, but given the comparative squads, and the fact we were fighting with 10 men for the guts of the match, I thought we we're the better team on the night.

From a City point of view, I wasn't too impressed at all with Jo. I think he may be useful for them in Europe, but I don't see him getting more than 10 or so goals in the league.

City looked very ineffective in the last third, particulalry considering the numbers they were up against. However, I thought they sprayed the ball around beautifully at times.The link between defence and midfield looked very natural, and as soon as they won possession, they could get a move going very quickly. Wasteful at times though with long shots, particularly Kompany.

All in all, a good point, but had we nicked the 3, we would have shot up the table (would have only been 1 behind City), and perhaps looked towards ending this relegation battle sooner than expected. Still, when you compare the fight the lads were showing tonight, and the fact that we have Owen, Spiderman, and Barton to come back next week, I am cautiously optimistic. Certainly worlds apart from what Spurs look up to at the moment.
