Fair one 1882. The long middle paragraph in your post speaks for me too and should be read out to every pencil necked, corrupt VAR-loving creep in the FA, Sky, FIFA and the rest
I can't say why it wasn't given but the chance to appeal, have it reviewed etc etc must have been there for us too. I'm as gutted as everyone with the result but as supporters we need to stay focused and address the real problem which is the rule itself. It takes no factors into consideration but simply asks 'was there actually contact between ball and arm' if the answer is yes and the arm is deemed to be in an unnatural position (Yep I know, even when jumping for the ball or falling to the ground) then a penalty must be given.
We need to stop looking at the referees and start screaming at the FA to change the fucking rule otherwise it will go on all season. Blame the law, not the ones applying it, otherwise nothing will change.

i hope we don’t get back in this season. I really don’t want to pay for this shit.
There's even a clause in the new rule that strengthens the case that it should not have been a handball.
Can't remember who it was, but to the agenda ravaged tosser that said taking Sonny off was a ploy to park the bus.... F-u-c-k YOU!
tbf I think that revenue goes to spurs rather than the FA.
I was mildly miffed.
On to the next one..... It'll be better for our mental health
By the way for whoever watched the immediate Sky reaction with Graham Souness , what on earth was he on about? I hope a weasel producer got in his ear and told him to play the other side because that was a pathetic assessment of the VAR / handball rule situation, basically said these new rules make football more exciting and more goals are scored hahaha
There was an earlier one when he fell over making it seemed like the ball hit him in the gut, when it actually hit his arm. He probably knew it was hands but tried to play act his way out of it. Apparently it worked.
I can't find anything on Son's injury on Sky or the BBC so I hope this is bullshit.
We are cursed enough as a club, I'd get a fucking witch doctor in.

Seriously fuck off. We bossed them from start to finish. Stop feeding the mill this bollocks. It’s disrespectful to the shift the lads have just put in.

Plus points- Best 90 minutes performance so far
Negative points-VAT is killing the game and the new hand ball rule is absolute Bollocks.

Why does the final decision rest with bent refs. A roomful of officials examine the incident in slow motion over and over from all angles, can't make their mind up so it goes back to the bent ref, Something needs to be done, seriously. This incident ,playing for handball will become part of the training schedule for the unscrupulous drumbeat teams. I bet the panel and the ref are having a bloody good laugh
Thats clear as day then really isn't it.
This links perfectly with one of the positives I was going to suggest from today's game:
- He's done it everywhere he's been successful but this kind of thing makes it even easier for José to develop a siege mentality in the squad. We need to have an 'us vs them' outlook now because, frankly, it seems to be true.
Another couple of bits of positivity:
- Yes, we should have taken our chances and killed the game but it's one of those things. In terms of performance I think we were really good and played the kind of football that wouldn't have a home crowd getting frustrated. 23 shots, 12 on target, and we limited Newcastle to only one shot on target (alas, we know which one that was). This is very very early in the season and if we want to progress then even a disappointing result like this with a good performance can still be a better sign than United getting spanked by Brighton but snatching a win.
- Davies was frustrating, but Reguilón is waiting in the wings.
- No Bale yet, and he will surely inject our attack with lethality.
Thank fuck it wasn't Kane that got red carded and although Sonny's injury is going to create a nightmare with the fixtures this week, at least there's an international break looming.
