That is where the rules in football are flawed for me. How can you give a penalty and send a player off for that. He probably wasn't even getting to the ball, you are giving them a better chance of scoring than the original chance when he was brought down and now you're effectively ending the game by sending him off too.

The flaw if you don't send the player off is that if it's outside the area but the last man, you'd only get a freekick if the player wasn't sent off. As mad as it sounds, maybe penalties should be given when fouled clean through outside the area (Ice Hockey) but no red card. A red card should only be given IMO if the player is fouled with an open goal.

Newcastle were actually ,miles better in the first half, should've been ahead so that sending off really killed them.

Defensively they aren't good against any sort of pace though, even last week Norwich should've scored 4. They'll be down there all season.

Big Sam already grinding out a win for Sunderland, who'd have thought it.
