Bankes has had another flawless 37mins but no way joelinton should be on pitch.
Got a yellow and a clear sarcastic clap afterwards.

For some reason Joelinton an Guimares seem to be treated pretty leniently

Just saw the penalty shout. Not a clue how that wasn’t given.

A clear and obvious error. Isn't that what VAR is supposed to pick up on?

Moyes doesn't agree nor with the second yellow! Typical and I guess under pressure from the players. I think one concern is the inconsistency bit when a certain Spurs player "stamped" on an opponent just above the ankle. No red card there. However, in this instance the decision is correct.

He'll be even more upset if he sees Joelinton raging at the referee after being carded then getting away with it.

Was sure Taylor would have the tyne derby but it’s a well deserved appointment for bankes who has impressed me an awful lot the last 18months.
Good to see Brooks bacl..
Surely not long till we see tierney bsck in the middle

Get yourself onto the naughty step immediately. The TYNE derby!!!! It's on WEARSIDE  and we are only allowing them to come over from the dark side for a few hours so they can get a sun tan and some fresh air.😁
Seriously though like you I fully expected Mr Taylor to get this one. This will be a massive test for Peter Bankes. It's blood and thunder from start to finish.

Cash went down as though he'd had his goolies shot off and got away scott free. It was petulant but violent conduct? The game is officially dead.

So should De Bruyne. That should have been his second yellow.

It's becoming a habit. He had to give it after the Trai Hume decision on Good Friday.

Was having a pretty decent game but it all went belly up in the 80th minute. Sunderland were attacking down the left when the Preston defender Porteous went down with a ' head injury '. Lewis Smith stopped the game and next thing you know Porteous rose from the dead like Lazarus.
He didn't require any treatment on the pitch but was told to go off and by this time both teams were taking a drink. That's when the fun really started . The Preston players started dropping like flies by the touchline. Three of them, one after the other which ended in players from both teams getting involved with pushing and shoving.
It took about 5 mins to sort it out but just as the referee was about to restart the match it was pointed out to him that Preston had 12 players on the field which was followed with chants of 'You're not fit to referee' and 'You don't know what you're doing'.

The thing is Lewis Smith copped the flak but this situation was caused by total s**thousery from Preston and their manager had the nerve to blame the officials for Sunderland equalising. 🙄
