When Chappers and the central defender clashed heads going for the header, the ref gave Newcastle the drop ball even though we were in possession when he stopped play?

Me and the group I'm with were wondering that at the time. Couldn't have been a free kick to Newcastle because the ball wasn't placed. Very odd. |  |

My little group too. The conclusion was that the ref (Attwell) was cr&p and always is when he refs us.
I reckon with a better ref we’d have won that game …………we’ll a draw maybe………ok I give in. Made no difference whatsoever. |  | | |

Cam Burgess was not happy with the decision either. |  | | |

I always find it very theraputic to find a scapegoat when we lose... and more often than not, it is the match officials.... so here is todays Hot Take
First goal was an offside because the lino flagged it...... VAR can only overturn the decision if it is a clear and obvious error....and because it was marginal either way, that does not make the error either clear or obvious, Ergo, the goal should have been struck off and we should have had the resulting free kick
Goal number 3 was a direct result of a huge push in the back on Cajuste.... deffo a foul. Instead of which the commentators cream their collective tighty-whiteys at the skill and ingenuiety of the Toon striker
Yellow card for Sammy wasn't even a foul.... a worse challenge on AAH a few minutes later didn't draw a card
Regarding the clash of heads.... I love that our players have a thick skull and Chappers just got up and resumed playing whilst their little diddums rolled about milking it. ( Note...all head injuries are potentially serious and should be taken seriously )
Anyway.... the ref can be delighted with his work today as he makes his way to the bookies to collect his winnings |  | | |

The referee was, to quote the official line, “incorrect in law” for the restart after the clash of heads. He will be getting a telling off. The yellow for Sammy was also poor. But it made no difference, think they’d have won that if they were down to ten men. |  | | |

Totally incorrect decision by the ref but we didn't help ourselves by playing the ball back to their keeper after the ref had blown the whistle and whilst their player was on the ground. Couldn't for the life of me understand why we'd do that when we were clearly in possession. | | | |

Well yes.... the inconvenient truth is that we were completely outplayed and outclassed ...and even if those 2 goals I ranted about had been disallowed, we would still have lost the game
The game might have been slightly different if Delap had been playing, so it is another opaque reffing decision there. What exactly was he given a yellow for after close of play last Saturday? | | | |

I liked the bit where we weren’t allowed to take a throw because another ball that was off the pitch was in the wrong place (too near the goal?). It actually made me feel a bit sorry for refs that they have to remember so many pointless fussy regulations. |  | | |

All in all, the usual one rule for established PL sides, and another for the recently promoted Championship upstarts... who'd have thought it. |  |

However Newcastle were allowed to continue their attacking play while there were 2 balls on the pitch |  | | |
