LR seems to particularly lose his cool around the situation with Delap being fouled a lot. He's had these rants about ref's not understanding the way we play and protecting our players, but it stopped for a while, and he stayed out of trouble for a while, when Delap was injured. Now he's back it's immediately an issue again. I do get it, he seems to get smashed on the halfway line an awful lot, perhaps because defenders know that once he turns it's over for them.

Not sure that’s the most ‘iffy’ moment though? A split second before or after that, the ball was off the ground when it appeared to be well out. Could be an illusion.
Anyone got the foul on Delap for the penalty? Initially I thought it was outside, but saw it again and it did look in.

I’ve just watched it back a couple of times, it bobbles off his foot into the air at that point making it appear just a hair out but given the angle the camera is at it would almost certainly still be over the line. Just for you, managed to drop a pause on the penalty right at the point of contact, ball is on the line and Delap is outside the box. Screenshot too big to upload, but quite easy to do on YouTube as it allows you to rapidly pause/unpause to see for yourself.

Obviously we’ve had a lot of poor results this season against teams we really should’ve beaten but these are the standout moments for me

Leeds - Traore missing the open goal

Watford - Not scoring the penalty

Southampton - Conceding in the 95th minute

Norwich - Conceding 96th minute

Hypothetically we would’ve been 8 points better off if these moments went our way

Every club could point to moments like this

Of course over a season, there are those key moments. Nor is there any guarantee either team’s season would have panned out exactly the same way had we held on at Norwich, so there’s no way I am suggesting that’s the reason we didn’t make the play offs
For me, that moment was particularly significant because it was amongst the worst refereeing decisions I have witnessed in over half a century of watching football. There were several very reasonable reasons why that goal, shouldn’t have stood. I can’t recall the detail, but I believe it was beyond added time (with no obvious further stoppages); the ball had gone out of play so should have been a goal kick; a City player was fouled in the melee; it should have been offside). It was practically the last kick of the game, the ref actually did the right thing in having a discussion with his linesman. He was very justified in disallowing it for any of those reasons. Unfortunately there were 35,000 Norwich fans celebrating a last minute winner, so he bottled it and allowed the goal. Yes, we’ve all seen worse bowlers, but I’ve not seen multiple bowlers in one incident. It was an extraordinary decision, there we had a season’s poor decisions going against us in one incident, costing us points and in the first game of the season, AGAINST NORWICH. It’s ironic that had that not gone in, we would now be level on points with two games to go.
I recall we were absolutely shocking that first half and played off the park, so hardly deserved anything from the game, but that is totally irrelevant.
Anyone got a clip of the goal.

**** happens mate.

My old man always maintained City should have had a penalty at Chelsea in a cup tie back in the early 60s which was before my time following the club. Apparently one of their players handled the ball to stop a certain goal and it cost us a semi final place by all accounts.

When Saturday comes and all that.

UTT.

He’s a massive wind up merchant, always has been since his youth days, so probably earns it. Definitely not protected enough though

Bad decisions happen. Four in one passage of play in injury time on injury time which results in a 3 point swing is more unique. As I stated numerous times, nothing to do with why we don’t reach the play offs, but just pointing out the irony it was Norwich and the point swing happens to be the difference between the two clubs currently.
 
maybe yesterdays ref performance was a conspiracy for people to say.. aha see var is the future..
think about it

A few standout moments for me.

2 late Connolly goals to beat Blackburn away.

Delap's goal at Leicester to take the win.

Tufan late winner away at M'boro.

Carvalho winner away at Sunderland.

Beating Soton away.

3 away wins on the trot in Feb.

2 late Ohio goals to beat Coventry and Rotherham.

Without those points we'd likely be closer to relegation than top 6 and the moaners would really have summat to moan about.

Also the 3 points from the Millwall game with Philogene's 'handball' goal.

And the story goes....the referee that day was Jack Taylor?, also a World Cup referee and he admitted in later years to a City player, forget who, that he should have given the penalty to City......but no-one appealled loud enough, or something. It was a handball incident on the Chelsea goal line. The Hull Daily Mail had a photograph of the incident but only showed the ball heading towards the hand of a chelsea player stood a foot or so off the goal line.
