Joelinton should be off for that! That's just vile and malicious! He's a dirty scumbag!

 

[Outrance]

I agree. clear red. But he gets a yellow and bournemouth gets two yellows. He actually benefited from making that tackle. He is nothing more than an animal

 

[Seedy Ron]

Some very odd refereeing from Atwell. Didn't give the first foul, then stops it for Joelinton's hack, then gives the first foul after all, and books everyone.

Makes a difference if you win most of your games doing that. Means the way you are playing actually works.

Given the players that they have there's no way they should be doing this well. He's not involved today, but they're still giving plenty of minutes to Adam Smith, a player we gave them more than a decade ago.

So VAR can rule on ball in or out of play after all. But not when it's for a corner that also leads to a goal.

Beat me to it by seconds. Was going to post exactly the same thing

I just pointed this massive inconsistency out to my son.

He truly is a vile specimen. The TNT commentary is far too Pro-Saudi Sportswashing Machine to have had a proper discussion about the premeditated nature of his challenge and the total lack of attempt to play the ball. It was an awful challenge that should have been rewarded with a red card.

As if all that’s not bad enough, Joe Cole is on now.

It’s mad right

 

[Seedy Ron]

What a hit

 

[paxtonwolf]

What a hit

Cue a black and white fire drill

 

[Seedy Ron]

And another, great goal.

 

[paxtonwolf]

And its 4-1

Have that you Geordie f#ckers

 

[Outrance]

Great stuff.

 

[Kandi1977]

1-4! Brilliant finish that!

 

[paxtonwolf]

Play like this v Arsenal in the 2nd leg and its not a foregone conclusion

 

[Jordinho]

A great response to being hailed as title challengers.

My Geordie-supporting mate will disappear back into the bushes after appearing from nowhere for months after the win at Arsenal

 

[Spoonman]

Nice to see the toon bubble burst. I don't think they are as good as recent results suggest.

Bournemouth were brilliant for 90 mins. Great attacking play and strong at the back. It can be done!

They had quite a few out injured today too.
