Rovers13 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 there might have been doubt from his angle whether Gouffran got a touch on the ball. but it was going to fast and hardly deviated so any slight touch would have been irrelevant. it would have been refreshing had Pelligrini done the right thing. the fact he didn't is "meh." just another manager who takes advantage of blatantly wrong decisions. You're so sanctimonious right now it's unreal. People act like refereeing is this insanely easy thing, see how fast that went? Trying to call that in real time looking through players is almost impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 14, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2014 I see the media have picked up that Mike Jones isn't a ref this coming weekend. He's a 4th official, which they're playing as him being dropped. I assume this is the same scenario as when Anthony Taylor was "dropped" after our game vs Arsenal, i.e. he wasn't dropped at all and was just doing the 4th official duties he'd been scheduled to do for weeks? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Joe Kinnear resigned. That's gotta be the end of Newcastle's season effectively. You can't replace a guy like Joe just like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think the biggest upset this season is that Kinnear didn't continue his assault against Newcastle. This could have been the greatest season in living memory due to his contribution alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yeah, it's a disappointingly low-key exit for Kinnear. Perhaps he realised there were no more kebabs in Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Clicky... Newcastle United take season ticket from disabled gran after she allowed family member to use it Newcastle United fan Lilian Held had her ticket cancelled and sold on by her beloved football club after allowing another family member to use it. A gran says her year has been ruined after her season ticket for Newcastle United was confiscated by match officials and sold on without her knowledge. Lilian Held, who lives a 10-minute walk from St James’ Park, allowed her 29-year-old son Christopher to use her ticket for the Newcastle vs Southampton home game on December 14 last year. The 65-year-old, who is disabled, was on holiday at the time and needed an adult to accompany her 14-year-old twin grandaughters to the match. But 20 minutes into the game, Christopher was approached by security staff and asked to display his ticket. Because the ticket was for a disabled person, Christopher was ordered to leave the ground, leaving his teenage nieces behind. He was told his mother would have to come to the stadium in order to get her ticket back. Upon her return on December 20, Lilian went straight to St James’ Park to retrieve her ticket. But instead the lifelong Toon fan, who has irreparable damage to nerves in her back, was told her ticket had been suspended until further notice. “I was told my ticket would be suspended while the club investigated whether my son had sat in the seat regularly,” she said. “I told them he never sits in the seat – I always sit in the seat and this was the first game I’d missed in 14 years. I only wanted the girls to be accompanied by an adult because I’m always there at home games to look after them. “When I asked if I’d be missing the Boxing Day match, I was told I’d not only be missing that, I’d be missing the Arsenal match as well.” It wasn’t until January 4 that Lilian heard again from the club. She was told that her ticket was being cancelled for the rest of the season and that she would have to cough up for a full-price season ticket because her seat had been sold to somebody else. The pensioner, who originally bought the seat for her late husband who died from lung cancer in 1999, says she has been treated appallingly by the club she loves and has supported all her life. “I have sat in that seat for 13 years,” she said. “I’m a lifelong fan of Newcastle United and I worked for the club in the 1990s where I had my picture taken with Kevin Keegan. “Going to the match is the only bit of social time I get. I live for those home games. Taking my ticket from me and selling my seat without giving me the right to even argue my case has completely ruined my year.” Lilian’s daughter Nicola Breen wrote to the club on January 10, but has not yet received a response. When approached by the Chronicle, Newcastle United declined to comment. She must be proper gutted, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) In terms of location, St James Park is the best of any ground in the country. Slap, bang in the middle of the city. Its also slightly on a hill so as you approach it, you have that feeling of approaching something grand and special. It's the equivalent of Villa Park being where the Bullring shopping centre is or the fountains by the old library.

I see it every day when I go to Uni, the way the road my Uni is on is orientated means that you're staring straight at it when you're walking towards it, a bit strange as it's sort of framed by the buildings too. It sort of just looms over the city. You get used to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
