A Newcastle United fan was left in tears when ranting on talkSPORT about the much talked about VAR controversy for PSG’s penalty.
Kylian Mbappe’s stoppage-time penalty denied Newcastle a big win in the Parc des Princes, coming after Alexander Isak’s first-half goal.
Nick Pope also made superb saves which at the time looked to take Eddie Howe’s team to a memorable Champions League win.
But the decision to award a penalty left one Magpies fan in particular raging, venting his anger on the radio station after the game on Tuesday night.
“It’s absolutely never a penalty… at this level it’s a disgrace” 😤@allysbears and @jjenas8 have a strongly opinionated discussion around the awarding of the penalty which cost Newcastle the win…@laura_woodsy | #UCL pic.twitter.com/Da8dMe6dCc

Newcastle fan, Peter, said: I’m so proud of my team tonight considering we’ve had no substitutions as Jason Cundy said, we had three goalkeepers on the bench and what the PSG need the need the most cheatingest VAR decision ever, that was never a penalty in a million years
Jason: I mean no one’s cheated have they though it’s just incompetence
Peter: It’s cheating, we were robbed
Jason: No it’s not cheating it’s incompetence
Peter: Well okay I’ll get rid of the cheating word
Jamie: No no I mean you look you’re passionate about it Pete you can say what you want
Peter: I’m absolutely good me team have give absolutely everything tonight can I say something tonight like we’ve got a 17y year old playing tonight and I hope the whole world who watched them in Lewis Miley what was you two doing at 17
Jason: Cleaning boots again
Jamie: The more I look at this decision Pete, I mean we got it on the screen here, the more I watch it in slow motion the more of a disgrace it gets it’s so bad
Peter: It’s making us cry watching it’s just making us bring tears cuz yes we PSG had chances I’ll agree with you there Jason but for our performance and for the players we’ve got missing at the minute you and Jamie cannot dispute we deserved a result tonight
Jason: Well yeah I mean look you you absolutely deserved something out the game you did not deserve a terrible decision towards the end but I think if you’re a PSG fan you’re looking at that going we could have won the game chances that we have they they could have won it I mean Pope made two really good saves you know
Peter: We’ve had the group of death and now last group game I’m so confident now we will battered them at home in two weeks and I’m telling you Dortmund will want the top that group and Dortmund will absolutely batter them in Germany
Jason: I think you know I agree with you I think that PSG will go to Dortmund they got to win right and then we know that they they win there
Jamie: Well Dortmund still need to top the group you know technically can if they beat them by three goals or more they will top the group so Dortmund are going to have to play their strong side because they want to top the group to go through as winners so it means that Newcastle really have got an opportunity to still go through
Peter: I think we’ll finish second
Jason: Are you going Pete you going to that game
Peter: I went to Dortmund and I went to Milan right but I didn’t cus I’ve heard so many scare stories cus I got a few friends who were in Paris right and have said it’s been so scary about their, plus night kicked off last night, have you see what time they kept the Newcastle fans in last night, I bet this won’t get mentioned on the national radio
Jason: Go on, do it then
Peter: The fans have been told they’re getting kept in for nearly an hour and a half after the game
Jason: Yeah this might be their own safety, so listen to this if you’ve got a message Pete for UEFA, keep it clean, have you got a message for UEFA and and the referee and the VAR decision
Peter: You can stick your VAR where the sun doesn’t shine and that baldy referee I wish I could see him so I could give him *beep*
Jason: Come on Pete, we don’t, no Pete we don’t condone violence Pete Pete Pete I mean you let yourself down there
Jamie: I mean what did you expect though, when you tease him like that
Jason: I didn’t expect to say…
Jamie: You do this every time you put in a corner and expect him to not come out with something like that
Jason: Wait I did not expect Pete…
Jamie: The guy almost crying talking about the decision and then you basically say yeah say this to UEFA
Jason: I didn’t expect Pete to turn all violent, you can’t come on he’s got, he’s got to compose himself there he had a chance and he let himself down, you can’t do that to the referee Pete
“It’s making me cry watching it!” 😢😡
“My team have given everything!”

Newcastle striker Alexander Isak on TNT Sports: “Unfortunate for us to get a goal against us so late. I think we started defending our goal a bit too early. It’s never nice to concede a goal that late.
“My first reaction was it wasn’t [a penalty]. It seemed cheap. I haven’t seen a replay. Hopefully it was a penalty. We have to trust the referees.
“We are very proud of the team. It’s not an easy place to come. They haven’t lost for some time here.
“We almost got the win. It is unfortunate. We always want to win, but this point will be important. We have it all to play for.”
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said to TNT Sports: “I’m still coming to terms with it. I feel really flat but at the same time really pleased with what the players gave today. Their commitment, execution… We rode our luck. We ran out of luck at the end. I didn’t think it was a penalty.
“What you don’t take into account with those replays is how quick the ball goes. It hits his chest first. If it hits his hands first, well it’s still not a penalty because he’s so close. But you can make more of a case.
“It’s not a penalty when it hits his chest first and then hits his hand which is low. I’m not allowed to sum it up. I can’t say my inner thoughts obviously [I’d get in trouble].
“I thought the referee was having a good game up until this moment. He had been strong.”
On Newcastle’s defence: “Nick [Pope] was like he was against AC Milan away when we needed a giant performance from him. The players accepted we had to defend well and defend our goal like our life depended on it. It looked like we got there. They missed some chances, you can’t deny that.
When we’ve defended so well in that shape, with that personnel for so long, sometimes you make a change and it creates a mistake. Sometimes you twist, sometimes you stick. We decided to stick and obviously it didn’t work out.
“We’re still in it. That’s another thing we can’t forget. We could easily have come here and have not been in the competition anymore. We still believe. As much as it’s a huge, deflating feeling – it could be another story in our season.”
🗣️ “It was a poor decision”
