Assignon incident.

Okay then.

Desperate measures, he wanted that reviewing at all costs.

[Goliath]

Self indulgent t*sser. I'm glad O'shea called him out as it proved he was feigning injury whilst we were desperately trying to get a goal. I don't want that attitude in my club.

I wouldn't at all surprised if there was a bit of a bust up after the game. We are seeing why it's important to build a strong team spirit within a squad and It doesn't look like we havem

Feigning injury isn't going to endear yourself to match officials.

[thelifeofbrian]

embarrassing- i was actually laughing along with all the other fans, From what i could see he dived when he was through and could have crossed the ball into the area, he then feigned an injury for ages and threw a hissy fit, Berge went to get him up and he had another breakdown and finally got up and protested to the Burnley fans and the ref, ref by this stage had seen enough and booked him- complete cock womble.

Looked like that to me but it was OShea that went over to him

[Hibsclaret]

He then decided not to come over to the fans at the end. He’s a good player but we don’t need that sort of stuff in our club..

[Goliath]

Not sure what you're disagreeing with. It's quite clear that the players thought the same thing.
It's not often you see a player have to be physically dragged up and b*llocked for being a t*sser by his own teammate.

[Sutton-Claret]

Does anyone know if he was clipped by Son - the VAR check was the fastest I've ever seen - only showed one camera angle and I think missed the start of the 'coming together' - he did make an arse of it though when he should have been back on his feet

I’m fairly sure he was clipped. He should be embarrassed though with his antics afterwards.

[elwaclaret]

My first instinct was fury that he dived hoping for a penalty, then hoped I’d just missed the contact when he stayed down… then thought want a knob when he reacted the way he did. He may have got more sympathy had he not gone down like he’d been shot every time he felt contact.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

I watched on tv and they said he was clipped and should have had a penalty. I hate all that feigning injury though.

[JohnMcGreal]

Constantly overcompensating for his lack of ability by trying to show everyone how much he really cares.

Not for me. Good riddance.

[Burnley1989]

I think 60% of his game is top class but the other 40% he lacks is literally league 1

[Ilkley claret]

I watched on tv and they said he was clipped and should have had a penalty. I hate all that feigning injury though.

On my stream they said definitely clipped.

All players stay down now in order to draw the attention of the ref and VAR.

Yes he should have got up earlier but he genuinely felt it was a pen and couldn’t believe it wasn’t reviewed.

It could have been an absolutely vital decision and may have us back level with a few minutes to go.

All the abuse he’s getting is way over the top

[Silkyskills1]

So, it was a foul in the penalty area? Behaviour unacceptable but it was a foul wasn't it? Very similar one awarded to Celtic a couple of hours earlier. Ref gave it, VAR sent him to look at it again and he still gave it. I didn't quite know what was going on after the incident because the camera was constantly on Assignon. Was it checked ?

[Rick_Muller]

MoTD didn’t show the full incident but showed him kicking his own leg. I think he was clipped before that though, I was level with it in the ground and I thought he was clipped.

[quoonbeatz]

Only seen the MOTD footage but if that's all that happened he needs binning out of the club immediately, complete disgrace.

[LincsWoldsClaret]

VK thought it was a pen too and spent a long time hugging Assignon afterwards

Looked like he tripped himself up to me though

[JimmyRobbo]

Stonewall penalty and I can't believe he was booked for protesting

[Tricky Trevor]

The replay I had this afternoon was from him tripping himself. Not sure whether he was embarrassed or clipped but he thought he was. He made no friends with his histrionics.

[aggi]

If it was the first time he'd dived then he probably would have got the benefit of the doubt from the fans.

He's hurled himself to the floor for no reason a fair number of times though, it didn't help the team at all today

[fidelcastro]

O'Shea didn't think so either.

[Clive 1960]

was a pen he was clipped ..

Stonewall penalty and I can't believe he was booked for protesting

Am I missing something here? There wasn’t an opposition player within a few yards of him from the coverage I’ve seen. Embarrassing reaction from Assignon and rightly called out by O’Shea. It’s amusing reading posts from people saying they’re looking forward to getting out of this division due to the cheating when our own players are just as complicit.

I doubt we’ll see him after next week, which is a shame because he’s a good player but a cheat.

Looks pretty clear cut from this what actually happened.

Embarrassing that.

[CrosspoolClarets]

Out of interest on MOTD I saw Almiron do an outrageous dive and even Darren England spotted it and booked him. Almiron then spent a minute on the floor waving his arms at the ref with that imploring lost puppy expression he has, still trying to con him.

So should he be kicked out of Newcastle? Was worse than Assignon because he completely made it up, not sure Assignon knew what happened.

What do you mean Assignon was clipped? He wasn’t touched. Whether or not he knew what happened, he feigned injury and wasted time (which wasn’t added on) when we were looking to retain our place in the PL. I’m not sure why Almiron also being a cheat changes this.

What that doesn’t show is the half a second before when the Spurs player is closer - his foot that clips his own leg is the leg that I think was clipped which is what caused him to kick his own leg.

This is a thread about Assignon, not Connor Roberts.

That's extremely unusual if that's what happened & from what people are saying & the video clip it all looks deliberate to me. With all due respect I've never known you have the opinion whatever the circumstances think that 1 of our own is at a fault you always think it's a penalty or a foul or some sort of a infringement our way even when backed up with evidence you will always argue robustly adamantly.

[Blondeclaret]

No he’s not a good player, cannot defend hasn’t a clue on his positional play and after yesterday’s embarrassing incident it just shows what sort of person he is. Bye bye go back to where you came from

I disagree, I have often called it out when one of ours has fallen over. I just know what I saw from the stand, it did appear to me that Assignon’s foot was clipped before he then kicked his own leg. Of course I was there in line with it in the stand and saw it real time. If I see the full incident again in slow mo and it doesn’t show a clip from the Spurs player I’ll admit I was wrong. Until I see that though, I’ll maintain what I saw is how it happened IMO.

I stated earlier that I thought he had been clipped. After watching this footage I can only say wow.
That was on a par with or worse than anything the cheating James Maddison has done in his career.

& you'll still get some defending that see above yours. I'm not sure how strong something has to be to convince some people.

That is what happened. He was running at full speed and his trailing foot was clipped, knocking it across and into the back of his leg, causing him to trip over. The commentators descr4ibed it numerous times and were astonished it wasn't a penalty. He didn't just sprint and make his own leg hit the other and fall over, like is being made out here.

He did stay down too long, but he knew he had been clipped and frustration took over.

Happy to be proven wrong if this is the case, but is there any video evidence of this because I haven’t seen a single clip showing any contact from a Spurs player?

[burnleymik]

Watch the second half at around 45mins 40. You see as Berge plays him him, Son comes straight across the back of him. He wouldn't have even known Son was there and with no players really close to him why would he go down and be so adamant about the penalty? Even the commentators are convinced he was clipped as he was running.

It's usually the same crowd who insist contact was made that have spent all season blaming our inadequacies on VAR & everton & forest engaged in PL favouritism & all that big club bias twaddle instead of kompany & our failure to put the ball in the back of net or keep it out often enough.

Cracking site, thanks.

I’m afraid that clip only validates the fact that Assignon tripped himself up. You can see that Son runs behind Assignon and obviously the distance the camera is from the incident and the perspective makes it understandable that people thought he was tripped. But the clip from the opposite angle which was much closer to the incident shows that Son doesn’t go anywhere near Assignon who tripped himself up and feigned injury.

The replay starts slightly too late. His rolling around was just silly, but again frustration. Why on earth would he go down there without being clipped, it just doesn't make any sense. The commentators were right, I think Son just nicks him as he runs across the back of him, which in turn causes the lost balance.

[Scampi]

Whether or not he was clipped is kind of irrelevant to the main thing he's being criticised for. He thought he was fouled - fair enough, he might or might not have been, but the ref didn't give it. Benefit of the doubt, he then goes in for some histrionics with the aim of getting a VAR review. Again, fair enough but again, he didn't get a review.

He then though spends 2 more minutes rolling around and making a song and dance when we've got 5 minutes left to actually try and NOT GET RELEGATED. But he wastes that time with his own petulance.

Obviously, it probably made no difference. We weren't going to mount a miracle comeback. But it's the appalling selfish attitude it demonstrated. TBH the whole second half gave the impression of none of them really being that bothered about relegation.

Surely there is a replay that actually shows the contact then?

There is no trip. Some people just can't handle the fact that one of our players cheated.
