What happened to the mercy rule for 9 men where you just give a third of the injury time?
Premier League Gameweek 23
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Can't score against 9.. We know teams are incapable of defending when they go down to 9.. especially when poor newcastle dont have any fit defenders.. they have 2 defenders out there.
Ref looks like he’s been cycling through mud.
Also kills the game for Southampton.
Southampton have been clueless since the second guy went off. I’ve barely seen a single cross threaten the Newcastle defence
Redmond has zero ability.
Newcastle really putting a shift in.
Playing against 9 men. It isn't for everyone.
Or diarrhea
It would have to be one hell of a explosive event to get it up your back.
Wonder what Ralph will say about this one?
He slipped in it
Southampton to request this ref never take charge of their games again?
Well done Newcastle.
Almiron looks like Parker from Thunderbirds
Losing 9-0.. followed by losing to a team with 9 players on the pitch..
He must have a lot of credit in the bank to not be under pressure after this shit show.

Newcastle were lucky Soton player didn't dive for a pen or they would've conceded 9. Great sportsmanship.
They survived
I'm pleased for Bruce.

Massive fight there by Newcastle
Newcastle showing how you get it done with 10 and 9 men.
Southampton are learning everygame. What's next ?

@Jippy is bound to have managed it.
Nein is the magic number.Southampton
Is he still on the hipsters list to replace Ole? or is it just Rose and Nagelsmann?
Bruce gets a lot of shit.. and he certainly isnt a great manager.. but Newcastle have been a club in turmoil for over a decade.. he is doing alright.. doubt anyone at Newcastle will do any more.
Really well done 
Steve Bruce looks fecking ill. Shame to see what the pressure does to you. Wants to start considering his well being
We would have won but that injury ruined our flow
Two embarrassing performances from Southampton.
If Newcastle had the full 11 men for 90 minutes they might have come close to a 9 goal winning margin as well
Seriously, Southampton are horrendous atm. Newcastle could have gone down to 6 and they would have struggled to create a chance.

Seeing a team with 9 men gave them PTSD, so they couldn't perform.
satisfying end
Southampton's whining after our match was rendered moot after this one. The Football Deities gave them an opportunity and they bottled it.
He’s basically doing the same job Benitez was getting lauded for.
Very satisfying indeed
Just seen BBCs football focus Jackie Weaver thing and I have to say I actually laughed
Lawro at the end tops it off for sure

Another referee Southampton won't want?
Honestly I have never watched so many PL games in one season before. What a season this is.
