[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Newcastle deserved a lot of credit for the way they never gave up last night..very good game.

If you tried to pull out of a challenge and still raked down his legs like that then you are not in control of the challenge.

I’ve not seen the incident but I don’t think slow motion replays should ever be allowed.

 

 

 

It always makes it look worse.
 

It’s a bit like when you’re waiting to come on as a sub. The game looks to be going at a million miles an hour from the touchline, Once you get on you soon get used to it.

My thinking is if the error by the ref is only picked up at slow motion how can it have been a clear and obvious one?

I do think that the ref should have stuck with original decision with that Gordon's tackle. When you slow it down, the tackle looks worst and worst. I think Gordon does try to pull out but his momentum takes into van Dijk . 

 

I think it was a blatant red at any speed, he’s gone in to do him not win the ball. 

The fact he’s tried to pull out is irrelevant as he still raked him down the calf. 
 

Stupid from the lad

I don't for one minute think Gordon has gone in to do him at all. Dont think he's that type of players

[roversfan99]

That old chestnut. No one is ever "that type of player."

He probably didnt go out to injure him, he was probably just pumped up. But his challenge was high, wreckless and out of control and a red card was to be expected.
