There is no denying that Wirtz's offside incident in #FULLIV is a major blow to the credibility of technology in football.
The player was offside, period. It was clear as day on all the images as it was for the assistant referee.
Yet Madley, the shocking ref of #NEWCHE, decided otherwise.

Bastarding useless ref. FUCK. OFF. #NUFC #NEWCHE

Good performance. Outstanding 1st half but yet more frustration. Had enough of tha feeling this season. Bit of bad luck and bad decision making 2nd half cost us. Plenty positives. Miley MOTM. #NUFC #NEWCHE

I couldn't get up at early hours for #NEWCHE

It looks like it is a good point!

🔚 FULLTIME

⚫️ Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea 🔵

▪️ Chelsea FC come from two goals down to earn a draw against Newcastle.

#PremierLeague #NEWCHE

Eddie Howe's inability to change a game strikes again. One idea and it's gone stale.

Still least they got a point. Blame the ref all you like but from about 40 minutes Chelsea sensed they could win a game we should've been out of sight in .

Anthony Gordon, dear me.

#NEWCHE #CFC #NUFC

Convinced somebody hired a witch doctor to curse us this season.

Suppose I've got a free Greene King pint as a consolation.

Alan Shearer thinks that Trevoh Chalobah shoulder-to-shoulder challenge was a penalty. 😂
Maybe if it wasn’t the dive merchant they’d have considered it… before still coming to the correct decision.

#NEWCHE

Andy Madley will be wearing Chelsea pyjamas to bed tonight. Needed more than a point there but when the opposition have twelve men it's a lot more difficult... #nufc #NEWCHE

I am genuinely sick of us giving up leads this year. 13 points dropped from winning positions. At this level, it’s just not acceptable. Amazing first half… Newcastle of last couple years. But right back to standing back in second half, inviting them onto us. That tactic is not working. #NEWCHE #NUFC

How on earth is that challenge on Anthony Gordon not a clear cut penalty?!?! #NEWCHE

Newcastle 2 Chelsea 2 – What did Maresca say at half-time? How did Gordon not earn penalty in thrilling draw? Newcastle's meeting with Chelsea was packed with drama - The Athletic analyses all the talking points

⚫ Woltemade exorcises derby demons 😱
⚪ Flash Gordon back ⚡
⚫ Intense, excellent 1st half 🔥
⚪ Frustrating 2nd 😫
⚫ 10 PL games without clean sheet 🎼
⚪ 13 pts dropped when leading 🤯

Yet again points thrown away from a winning position. We simply can’t defend a lead, very disappointing result in the end. With that being said - to be denied that stonewall penalty is a disgrace. Great game for the neutrals I’m sure. Miley MOM for me. #NEWCHE #NUFC

We're in a situation now where every missed chance for 3 points is a blow. We've already dropped too many. But that was a quality game between 2 good teams. I can't appreciate that right because we were 2-0 up and haven't won the game. #nufc #newche

Final Newcastle 2 Chelsea 2. Once again the Magpies drop points while being ahead. This time a 2 goal lead given by Woltemade, squandered. Arrrgh #NEWCHE #NUFC

FULL TIME 2-2
After a stonking first half display, we have yet again let a good lead slip.

It wasn’t as if we didn’t have enough chances but poor decisions and poor finishing let us down badly, aided by the referee who was abysmal.

Two points dropped for certain.

#NUFC #NEWCHE

An outrageous game of football but totally ruined by that unbelievably awful decision not to award us a penalty at 2-1, the most stonewall pen you’ll see this season and I can’t even fathom how it’s not been given, probably would’ve been 3-1 and a totally different game… #NEWCHE

#newche Enjoyed that. Set the standard for the Christmas football.
