Ki was always looking to dive. It sucks that Howard didn't get the ball at all. From where the ref was, contact or not, it definitely looked bad. I can understand that, being that his dive wasn't a giant somersault, the ref would give that penalty.

 

That said, I don't see the contact in the replays.

There's no way that's a "dive" Howard catches him and gave him the opportunity to fall over.

 

It does seem strange to me though in that position your first thought is I am ready to go down if there's contact rather than if I can get past the keeper I have definitely scored.

We will have to agree to disagree then, I saw the touch, Howard did not complain about the penalty and if its a foul its a red card offence.

 

It his defence I woudlnt have argued my case in that situation, the dive was so "good" that he knew the outcome.

 

Either way if we have to point the finger its to the experienced Osman, who should know better. To be honest I'm not sure why RM didn't start Barkley ahead of him in this match.

I think that Howard got the lightest of touches, and that their player dived. If he hadn't have dived over Howard's leg, then Howard would have clattered him anyway. If the tables were turned, I would have expected that pen to be given for us. It shouldn't distract from the fact that we were dogshit in the first half.

Agree on Osman , his poor touch is to blame. A freak accident with the worst possible outcome.

Ossie is a royal cocksucker. Can't believe that. Ridiculous this. We need to get something out of this, as Newcastle are facing a 9 man Stoke after one half and the score is level. Poor Howard.

A mistake but playing this new brand of football where we pass it out short always means that there is every chance this can happen. The last time this happened Barry dug us out if a hole. It will happen again before the seasons up.
