A lot of bad luck in today's loss but unless we sort out our tendency to fall back when we are ahead boggles the mind and our weaknesses come to the fore. Anytime you face a side with Turkish blood in abundance you have to expect many late tackles and the referee failed dismally in meting out punishment for most of them and from what I saw the player who got the penalty awarded fell to the ground long after the fact and should have been booked for diving. Pearson, by now back on the bus, must be fuming mad at yet another late game loss and knows a way better performance will be needed in our next game to stem the questions and the boos. I did see some promising new players out there today but team cohesion was lacking in the late stages and the inevitable final score bears testament to that lack of focus and attention to duty.
Had a read on the Hull Forum. According to their fans we got we deserved. But honestly that deflection is cruel.
I think the penalty was a fking joke - and their second was a fluke - but here are the highlights - make your own minds up… https://www.skysports.com/football/hull-city-vs-bristol-city/report/467828
We were like it under LJ The 1-2 home defeat to Wolves when we were 1-0 up in the 90th minute a few years ago is, I think, a pivotal moment in the clubs recent history It’s been Ski Sunday ever since I’m afraid to say
How much did them Turks pay the ref -shocking decisions and your players on another day would have had many cards. That ref was bribed mate.
There were a couple earlier he’d turned down, the crowd got onto the ref and eventually he gave in. Obviously it wasn’t a penalty, he wasn’t even touched. It’s about time we started to get the rub of the green with refereeing decisions as we all well overdue a few.
On the balance of play a draw would have probably been a fair result, as regards the goals though ours was well worked, yours were a penalty that never was, and a fluke deflection. On that basis you were a tad lucky today. As for relegation fodder, who knows for either of us, only time will tell.
You were shocking today -dirty in the tackle and god knows how the ref didn’t give the penalty, first half, absolutely embarrassing decisions by a championship referee should be sacked and demoted to non league.Another day you would have had 5/6 yellows and possibly reds
