When you consider Spencer's red card at Wasps for head contact in a tackle (ball carrier falling/dropping) and Kalamafoni's red card for head contact on Beaumont at Sale then not sure why the official's didn't consider the point of impact.
Some might think it harsh but it was head contact. No different from a duty of care perspective than a player taking out a jumper.
Not sure we'd have played any better though.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
Is that our most brainless, uninventive performance of the season?
Idiotic penalties. Pathetic game management. Consistently 2nd best at breakdown.
Come on Gloucester. We are not good enough to secure our safety, please help us!

Can’t believe we’ve come to the point of celebrating that.
I'll cheer it gladly!
Given the situation the team are in we need anything that we can get to get through the season....hopefully after the Gloucester game I will wake and find it has just been a nightmare and Tigers are still in the Premiership.
Some utterly braindead stuff from Toomua and Kitchener in that game, but I'll take the LBP - if Newcastle can turn this around from here they deserve to stay up to be honest.

To put things in perspective, we have apparently been awful tonight and it's taken the team in fifth, over 70 minutes to beat us.
We never looked comfortable even at half time. And although it took them over 70mins, they have beaten us and beaten us well. 2 tries to zero. It could have taken them 79 mins but there was a massive air of inevitability about it from 60 mins.
We offer NOTHING in attack. Absolutely nothing. Even if the forwards are lacking, that doesn't excuse how completely devoid of a plan and shape we are.
That is the position we find ourselves in Big Dai - I preferred it when we were at the top but now we are near the bottom - support we must. As Bill used to say - keep the faith. It will be better next season ...... hopefully
