Amrabat clearly catching Gordon on the back of leg, ripping his sock, inside the area but no penalty given. On the day a debate about scrapping VAR began. To not see this in real time is one thing. For the VAR official to decide not to ask ref to look at a screen is another #NUFC

Support referees. Goal line technology, semi automated offsides. Scrap VAR. Have a mangers challenge that the match referee reviews on the screen. VAR just makes current referee’s seem incompetent. Which has a knock on effect throughout the footballing ladder.

Support the players who keep finding a way to get to the next round. Possession high up the pitch, zero chances created. Wait until go 1-0 down to make changes. Score within two minutes of changing players and shape to attack. Then back to all out defence. Let the lads play!

I’ll tell you what, you’d be absolutely gutted if you were Ben Bereton Diaz tonight. Got someone sent off by flinging yourself to the ground with some ridiculous play acting and your team still lost the game. Oh well. #nufc

Loved playing Championship manager when I was a kid. Fantasy football. Is today’s version just spreadsheets and commercial deals? Unable to sign Taribo West as your net revenue dropped three years ago! #psr

The Rigged System Stopping Newcastle United Mounting A Challenge forbes.com/sites/zakgarne…

Solid away performance from Newcastle United tonight. Highlights the fact that we need a centre forward who can play 30plus games a season.

Great comeback and a fantastic night of football. #NUFC should have put the game to bed in the first half

Time is considering leaving the closed shop that is the premier league?

We can’t invest without selling which defeats the point. To stand a chance to be competitive we have to charge more than our real fans can afford. #PremierLeague #closedshop

Well deserved!

70 years of hurt are OVER! Newcastle United are #CarabaoCup winners! 🏆⚫️⚪️ #EFL | #CarabaoCupFinal

Every member of that squad has become Newcastle legends. So pleased for Dan Burn. This Murphy to Isak combination is looking pretty special

Bring Eliot Anderson back for a crack at the champions league. Adds to our homegrown contingent. Willock to Forest suits the way they play.

dormant I agree that clubs like Villa, Forest and Newcastle are on the wrong side of history when it comes to PSR. The rules were introduced to prevent a NEW Chelsea or City challenging the established elite. They have nothing to do with either profitability or sustainability.

Time to resolve the Isak situation. If he wants out, submit a transfer request, and we can sell him.

NUFC can bank over £10million this season for fining Isak two weeks wages for every game he misses.

This is the strongest Nufc squad I’ve seen. Hopefully tonight proves to Howe that players can be rested not dropped and it’s for the greater good. Everyone was tremendous this evening.

Wasn’t the most exciting of games. That header from Dan Burn though! Worth the ticket price alone. 3points, above Real in the table. #nufc #championsleaugue
