I don't think the studs made contact and I thought that would save him but sod him.

He pulled his sock down with the bottom of his foot. How do you reckon his studs didn't make contact?

[Tatterdemalion]

If they had a striker they'd be ahead

I know - shame innit

[Buzzo]

Did the studs make contact? I didn't notice that.

Yeah he raked down Virgil’s Achilles before he clattered him.

[Slinky Skills]

Absolutely howling here hahahaha

[ric.williams]

That’s all on the ref. If the ref had given those two early yellows to Newcastle Gordon would never have gone in like that.

they were already riled up. ref letting them off early made it worse

He's got ****ing stud marks all down his calf

Slow started and under some pressure but just before the goal they got more of the ball and slowed it right down. That goal took all of the Newcastle steam in the crowd and on the field out of the game.

Want to be big club with showing their real small club mentality.

[BigChief]

Wirtz is easily pushed off the ball.

He needs time to get used to a non farmers league. He'll be fine as he's getting great experience.

[Buzzo]

Grav or Konate won't be able to breathe on any of their players for the remainder of the game.

Yeah, that’s a worry. The only upside is the one guy who goes down if someone so much as breathes on him has gone off.

he does but Newcastle get free kicks for that..

Re. Gordon, there was an interesting comment from Eddie How after the Villa game, which I haven't been able to find, but it's along the lines of " Gordon had a good game up front, he had a few shots and got a man sent off "

It's clearly encouraged, which is pretty shameful.

What goes around...

[danperkins]

These really are snide, genuine worry with Konate being on that yellow as he's rash in general.

[BootRoom]

Those who predicted the raucous atmosphere would backfire on Newcastle have been proven right. I must admit I doubted it myself, but didn't reckon for the stupidity of Gordon.

[Cerbie]

What goes around...

[Exiled_red]

I've got stick for saying this before, but games like this are why Konate isn't a top top CB
