Ten years ago last night. Clearly robbed. This was at 0-0. A penalty and a red card, but the ref bottled it, as per usual. What could have been...

A remember getting back from the game and someone sending me this picture.
I thought at the time it was a penalty and straight red.

I really do believe that Newcastle would have fallen apart if they had gone behind, especially going down to 10 men, as they were on a bad little run at the time.

I know they say that these things balance out over time but it really doesn't feel like it.

Plus, their fans were already turning on them and many wanted Alan Pardew sacked. If we'd scored the penalty against ten men, I agree, they would have collapsed. We were well on top at that time. Unfortunately, we never got the break we deserved and we ran out of legs towards the end of the game.

I know it is hard to tell with the angle, but it also looks like the ball could be very close to being over the line.
