VAR has become an entity........VAR sponsored by..... coming to your PL teams scoreboard soon.... it's all very amusing yet sad that more and more we discuss VAR than football itself.... but hey don't some just love it....the drama of it all....a tragicomedy perhaps.

, if only because the people who control the system are wedded to VAR, meaning any individual ref who gets a name for being independently-minded could find his future career prospects limited. (

You are missing the point, this weeks ref is next weeks VAR official, it is not the video replay that is the issue, it is the bloke looking at it.

Not watching but from the lack of posts on this thread, assume Newcastle vs Everton isn’t a classic 💤

A draw would be preferable but Newcastle look awful.

@aslan Newcastle look like they’ve done the impossible and downgraded on Nick Pope.

I put a couple of bob on them going down. The only problem is that they’ll have a different Manager and players by the end of the season.

Yep. Pope may have been really poor with his feet but was atleast half competent with his hands. This horndog bloke has nothing

Something needs to be done about defenders claiming head injuries to get the game stopped. It's like they don't go off half the time too

What a shame.

Correct. They are bottom of the “Expected” Table on Opta Anslyst. Deserve 3.6 fewer points than they actually have.
After the GW9 fixtures to date, Forest are 3rd (but can’t score for love nor money) and we’re 10th.

There appears to be some decent focus on simulation this season. I think the Laws need to be changed to deal with this but nothing less than 3 match bans (consistently applied) will be enough to stop it happening.

Just me who thinks the commentators are well off here? Looks like he goes through Barry to get the ball..

Yes. Same as what Hickey did at Hull.

Everton's goal was also a foul given Barry's flailing arm into Schar's face which drew blood. Had that been Thiago it would have been ruled out on the pitch and Thiago would have got a yellow for it.

For all that there are a number of others I'd want it to be more, imagine how entertaining it would be if both Sunderland and Newcastle got relegated

Newcastle have been genuinely hopeless. Utter, utter sh*te

Great isn’t it. They’ll bang on about their loyalty but they deserted in the thousands when Mike Ashley was in charge and you can guarantee there will be booing at FT tonight.

£800m spent to be bang average.

Here is what the BBC Radio Newcastle correspondent posted:
"Thinking back pre-takeover. There was a feel and a mood in the stadium that was present during the Steve Bruce era. I’m sensing that might be returning a bit.
There’s plenty of support for the players but also a restlessness. Maybe not quite a belief in the team and what the team is trying to do and how it’s being run. It’s making me think of that time."

That was after half an hour...

EDIT: Here is what he's just posted, 2 mins into injury time:

Another miserable Monday night for Newcastle​

"Great noise from Level 7 of The Leazes End but there are a few Newcastle leaving in the pouring rain.
Another miserable Monday night, this time at home."

Wissa a 60 min sub. Slow, static, poor positioning and little impact on the game. No enthusiasm for him and a sad way to end your career

Wouldn't be limping as much if he wasn't wearing them gimpy little micro-shinpads

...Workmanlike FC grind out yet another result.... it's what they do and have done for years....this season especially it may stand them in good stead..and as turgid and anti football as they are..... it wouldn't surprise me if they finish in a European place.....as for that red.... I'd be in their dressing room looking for that clown.

Newcastle are a horribly bad football team.
Ramsey should have seen straight red for that and all his teammates trying to drag Armstrong to his feet should be booked too.
Disgusting

Thought he was their best chance of a goal, all night, tbh.
🤷‍♂️

Was thinking just that.

Horrible tackle and lucky there wasnt some proper damage with that one.

But the Everton player i have no sympathy for with this new fashion of pretty much wearing no shin pads. Should be a proper standard size.

He caught him between the foot and shin - ankle height.
Foot long shin pads wont protect you there.
