Yes penalty for Newcastle and if only Sibierski could finish properly it would have been a draw.

Dermot Gallagher was the ref so not entirely unexpected then!

Not unexpected at all Buda, as Ron Atkinson famously said “I never comment on referees, and I’m not going to make an exception for that pratt!” Not sure he was referring to DG but it’ll do for my purposes!

Classic Ron, gotta love him even if he did manage that lot for his many sins!

Always enjoyed Ron Atkinson’s observations on the game of football! Excepting his silly comment on black players of course.
