It's not about feeling sorry for yourselves, you did your jobs right and it hasn't worked out. So over the coming weeks and months, Newcastle are owed a fair few decisions. Don't feel sorry for yourselves, the saying is decisions equal themselves out over the season. Everyone makes mistakes, but that's why VAR was brought in wasn't it? To try and help the officials avoid these mistakes.Įddie's message to his squad should be to just focus, don't make it be an excuse for you. The Monday morning, you get a call saying we apologise, we messed up. The frustrating thing is you contact the boss of the referees that night, and you send the footage down and all of the information from your analysts. I've been on it the other way where we've had a blatant goal ruled out. I've been on both sides, I've had decisions go for my team that should never have happened where the opposition have scored a perfectly legitimate goal or had a penalty not given. It's a really tough one for Eddie, the staff and his players, and especially since with the apology, it leaves an even worse taste in the mouth.

But they scored a perfectly legitimate goal and as I said, the worst-case scenario would have been a penalty. Newcastle should have won it really, they missed some good chances and the 'keeper has made some good saves. They've been denied a win as there's no doubt in my mind if Newcastle had scored, it would have been a completely different game because Palace would have had to come out. Who knows, those two points come the end of the season might stop Newcastle getting into Europe. But ultimately you can not keep apologising, especially when you're dealing with the Premier League because the difference in the money and the finances are so huge for different positions in the league. I've been there myself as a manager, you ask for the referee's advisors and the PGMOL for their opinions on things that have happened, and they can come back and apologise and say they've got it wrong.

It's an absolutely awful decision. They said the thing they have missed at Stockley Park was the push, they might have been concentrating on the foul from Joe Willock.

I've listened to ex-referees on TV who have tried to give a reason for it, and they either said it was a goal or a penalty. There's only two outcomes, it's either a goal or a penalty when you see it. The whole point of VAR in my opinion was to help the referees on difficult decision.Īll it has basically done in this instance.nobody has helped him. The VAR decision in Newcastle United's draw with Crystal Palace was absolutely ridiculous.
