Cardiff highlights/referee analysis

Agree, makes me feel my decision to buy a ticket for Birmingham is justified

 

To be honest, I would rather we deserved a win and were denied by ref's decisions than we were sh**e. It means that we are still on target for promotion and will win games.
Adkins mentioned the tackle on Lee. he said, welcome to English football, then congratulated Lee on getting up and getting on with it.

 

Agreed. We look like we really want it, add bill to the equation & I think we are up for a really excellent adventure.

 

For the first time I strongly believe we can win league.

All of the decisions were incorrect for me, both the pens were blatant and kelvin was fouled. Think thats why I have no voice today...

 

WTF is wrong with the FA? The stuff that goes on in the box these days for any set piece is downright bloody ridiculous. All the pushing pulling and wrestling that players get away with is nuts.

3 or 4 weeks of zero tolerance would sort it out.

 

Or would it.
Ever since Kompany got sent off for that tackle (I'll refrain from putting good tackle), all we see are far worse ones going unpunished, week in week out, its very frustrating. Then theres the penalties for handball, some really blatantly cheating ones slip the net, & others where the player is trying his hardest to keep his arms in & avoid contact & they get punished. It seems to me that common sense is wearing thin, everything is done by the book, but unfortunatly the book is down to interpretation, so it all depends on how good the ref is at spotting stuff & also how he reacts to pressure. I do feel sorry for the men in black, but I think the weak ones bring more pressure on the task in hand.

 

I'm a bit unsure on the foul of the keeper, it was a bit dodgey tho.

As for the Lallana incident, not a clue how that wasn't a penalty. One of the most blatant ones I have ever seen. As for the one on Lambo, nah, not for me. Their hands were all over each other, think he was looking for it.

 

From what I could see all 3 should have been given. I was the other end to the Lambert incident though. Davis fouled not sure about but there seems to be a case for obstruction. Very pleased with the performance though especially the new winger. Looked a bit like Jason Puncheon but much better player. Who is he?

 

I've seen keepers being protected for A LOT less!
