Baggies 4 – NUFC 2 – Video Highlights

Smudge West Brom

And we use the term “highlights” very lightly, poor refereeing can only be added to a less than great performance, Hughton made 5 changes to the team that drew with West Brom at St James’ Park and let’s face it, it showed!

“It is normal at the end of the game when you think that decisions have wrongly gone against you that some of the anger and frustrations come out,” said Hughton.

“The first goal, I can’t for the life of me see how a linesman can rule that over the line from where he was.

“I thought the first penalty we conceded was a soft one and if the referee is going to give a soft penalty like that he has to give the two penalties that were against Ryan Taylor and Shola Ameobi.

“I thought we should have had those two penalties and that is what is most annoying.

“Their second penalty was a penalty, but we were led to believe is that he was going to give a yellow card to Ryan Taylor and changed his mind to a red one. I think that is incredibly harsh.

“Having got back to 2-1, we felt we had a good chance. But at 3-1 and down to 10 men it was going to be incredibly difficult.

“Losing is a setback. We wanted to make progress in the cup but it wasn’t to be and we now have to go on to our main objective which is promotion.”

I sat at the halfway line on Saturday – I couldn’t tell what was or wasn’t a penalty or whether the first goal was over the line but I trust the officals to get most decisions right and with the others to nake occasional genuine mistakes that can go either way. Geordies have a reputation for whingeing and thinking they are a bigger club than they are – look at how pleased the neutral football fans were with relegation last season. You cant win them all, get over it, move on.

You were beaten by a better team. WBA were the better team in all 3 clashes this season. So why are you finding it hard to swallow.

Yes u were better till we scored and we looked like pulling level. This was the worst reffing I have ever seen at a game. Ah well enjoy Reading away. We aren’t finding it hard to swallow, you were the same on monday night spouting crap about the ref being biased when WE should have had two penalties.
