I dare say you wouldn't have condemned Hart as it wouldn't fit in with an anti Newcastle agenda. If Vito/pantimillon do that for every penalty next season and it gives us an edge I couldn't care less.
Every team slows the game down when it suits their purpose. How many sides make a substitution with about 30 seconds to go to try and run clock down if winning by odd goal? Goalkeepers hanging onto ball longer if winning yet if losing it's down the field in blinking of an eye!
Or perhaps it's only those nasty Geordies who do this?
