I managed to watch the game against Sheff Untd last night and would say well done to the Toon for coming away with a 2-0 win despite being well behind in most of the other stats;- possession etc.
There was however, one incident near the end of the game while it was still only 1-0 when with a pass into the Newcastle penalty area, not one but two of the Blade's players suddenly collapsed on the ground as if they had been shot
Not sure if they had collided with each other or whether both simultaneously threw themselves on the floor hoping to get a penalty.
If the latter is the case, I would have expected the ref to book one if not both for simulation
