Did anyone see what happened after the final whistle? Commentators mentioned someone kicking off but I couldn’t see who, also said a yellow card was given to someone but no mention in any reports that I’ve see

PC picked up a yellow for yelling at the linesman I believe with about 10 minutes to go
There was a bit of a coming together in the centre circle from both sides at the end of the match, Suffolk. Bit of pushing and shoving. It seemed to end as quickly as it started. The celebrations were in full flow (which I was thoroughly enjoying!) and the players soon separated and the Norwich players joined in celebrating and the Coventry players went to their fans. Didn't see a yellow card but in a melee it's not always easy to see.
In the footage you could see McLean laughing and trying to break up whatever was happening with the Coventry players going towards the Norwich ones
Here’s the one on Fisher

The one where Fisher went for a header and Sakamoto stood in his way with no attempt to get to the ball
Just watched highlights again. Not one of the Coventry bench went to shake hands with the City bench.no sign of Lampard in fact. With the melee on the pitch at the end....bad losers.
More like Limphard really.
In what way did they give us the first goal? Great run and pass by AA. And Makama was sharper than their player for the second. Grapes do not come any sourer.
Ben Lee's Tactical Summary conclusion says it all:
"Norwich started brightly, but a brief spell of poor clearances and unforced errors allowed Coventry to take the lead at the end of the first half. But Clement’s half-time intervention proved decisive, with City equalising before finding a winner in transition. The contrast between this performance and the reverse fixture earlier in the season was stark. Indeed, the winless run that followed the latter once seemed to consign City to relegation, but it now feels like a distant memory. With Clement at the wheel and the Canaries flying past their relegation rivals, the host’s counter-attacking threat was too much for Lampard’s men."
Although I believe it should have been a red card, I'm not that bothered, as we won. If we had lost I may have been really peed off. It might work to our advantage as he will be available to play probably against some of the other relegation threatened teams. Every cloud has a silver lining. COYY.
They can take a little while but if anything is going to happen I’d expect to hear by tomorrow.
I’d like to see it punished because that behaviour shouldn’t be tolerated and if nothing is done then it sends a message that you can get away with it. I expect the Asante one will be looked at as it has had media attention and the video is clear, the Sakamoto one is less so.
As Bure points out though, it’s of no benefit to us now so…

It galls a bit that Kenny was suspended for less, Mattsson gets no justice and it also raises the question of bias, where certain teams get away with it.

From the Pinkun:
"Brandon Thomas-Asante looks set to be banned for his elbow on Norwich City midfielder Pelle Mattsson on Monday night. Coventry boss Frank Lampard said soon after the whistle blew on Norwich’s 2-1 win that he had also not seen the incident, but Sky TV cameras did – and the player looks set to be punished with a three-game ban after the FA decided to act retrospectively.
Lampard says Thomas-Asante “didn’t mean to do it” and immediately regretted his actions. “I’ve spoken to Brandon about it because it’s not Brandon, it’s not Brandon’s personality, it’s not his manner, it’s not his way,” Lampard told the Coventry Telegraph.
“He didn’t mean to do it. And when I say that, it was an instinctive movement from him which we’ve all been guilty of if we’ve been on a football pitch – a moment that you can regret instantly. And that’s where Brandon’s at, and that’s absolutely the case and I stand by him, completely."
What a load of twaddle, Frank.
