Question for you? What do you think about the Aston Villa goal being disallowed? I think they got screwed. But they did give up 2 goals late. Arguably they might not have if up 1-0. But I think if you lose by 2 goals, hard to blame it on a referee bad call. And WTF was Martinez thinking getting that red card at end of 1st half?
As a Newcastle fan I thought it was the right call...

And thanks, Martinez! Best goal keeper in the world!***

That was a good goal. The ref blew his whistle too quick like they are instructed not to do these days, so no VAR. It was only his 10th game in a match with VAR.

I saw that. How in the heck do you put such an inexperienced referee in charge of such an important game? SEC officiating has nothing on Premier League officiating when it comes to incompetence.

It's every bit as bad for sure.

For once an early transfer rumor turned out to be correct. Frimpong signed today. Hopefully the other two big ones are correct as well.

I had no idea there were other Newcastle fans in here. It's worrisome that we seem caught in a constant cycle of backroom drama. We can't keep our recruitment staff in place long enough to come up with a coherent plan and it feels like we're already behind the 8 ball on what needs to be a big summer for us

Yeah, but Mitchell was only here for a cup of coffee so hard to see it making too much of a difference. I wonder if they reorganize the structure a bit and just don't replace him like-for-like. As long as Howe stays around I'm good.

Big summer indeed. Can't have the same thing happen last Champions League campaign. Need to strengthen RW and CB, but also need lots of depth. I'm refreshing for transfer links about as often as I was refreshing here for baseball coach news.

Yea it's exciting that we should surely have money to spend for the first time in 2-3 windows. Start with strengthening those two spots and the depth issue will be helped too if Jacob Murphy and Burn/Schar are willing to be more of role players.
