Their is a fascinating article about the Boro in today’s Athletic... Nine championship games in 29 days.  Following a team in their maddest run ever.    Neil Warnock was on the pit

Centuries ago Villages had ducking stools whereby if the person drowned they were innocent and if they lived they were guilty and sentenced to death. Nowadays not much has changed sadly. Idiots postin

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I probably shouldn’t have made things public, but I was at as very low ebb. It’s been a difficult year, not made better by COVID. Lockdown bucket lists aren’t

Anyone watching Burnley v Newcastle?

Newcastle had a pen denied in similar circumstances to Branthwaite/Fry.

Baffling that it wasn't given, they don't even have the excuse of no VAR.

Wouldn't even need to make contact for that to be a foul elsewhere on the pitch.

@TeaCider24It's just bizarre, personally I think that is more down to the rules in the game itself more than VAR. 

We should try and make incidents like that a bit more black and white, take the interpretation side of things out. People might not like it at first, but it'll sort these strange swings out.

Yep an entertaining game, 2 great goals from Newcastle. 
 

The ref was spot on with the penalty decision, it was accidental, there was no way he saw the Newcastle player rushing in. 

Big turnaround for Newcastle.

For me personally that's a foul (and a pen) it's an accident but it's still dangerous play. Similar to when Fry was booted in the head.

I didn’t think the Fry incident was anything other than an accident either, but it happened in our own penalty area in any case so even if a foul was given, it would have made very little difference.

Yeah I think both incidents were accidents, but they were both dangerous and should have both been given as fouls. I could be wrong but I'm sure it was from our corner (attacking the Blackburn box) that the Fry incident happened?

Now you're wrong on TWO fronts.

It was in the opposition box & it's still a foul & pen & red card, regardless of what you continually try and claim.

My mistake, I thought the incident took place in our own box.

Ah yes, my mistake. In that case they are both identical scenarios. Do you think either warranted a red card?

I'm not 100% sure myself if it should be a red, due to the circumstances of both, maybe a penalty and a yellow. 

If both defenders were clearly looking at the attacking player coming in and still made the same decision, I'd say a red would be fair in that case.

That’s fair enough, you could be right, although the dastardly VAR system couldn’t convince the ref, which I find odd as things always look bad in slow motion.
