Finally made it into the Premier League for Norwich after Mark Bunn was sent off, unfairly in my opinion, after being judged to have handled the ball after receiving a horrible headed back pass - hit his chest from my view. Will be interested to see how the ex-R makes out. Sunderland 0 Norwich 1 - hope the Canaries can hang on for a win and do us a favour to help our faintest of chances of survival. Now a penalty against Norwich - off the chest of defender? Baptism by fire for Lee Camp. How much did Sunderland pay Chris Foy, now 1-1
Norwich were in control at that time. Sunderland have a horrendous run in and they might be the ones we can catch. Why dont we have a bit of luck like that. Seems like we are jinxed.
.......and now Chris Foy denies Norwich a clear penalty with obvious handling of the ball inside the box by a Sunderland player - gives free kick just outside box, when clearly inside, and he now gives a yellow card too for Tubby!
Commentators - "Norwich must feel like they ran over a black cat on the way to the ground today" earlier - "Chris Foy better not be considering taking his vacation on the Norfolk Broads this summer"
that was a bloody awful game as far as officiating goes. Sorry we couldn't stop sunderland getting anything, but the draw felt like a win given the way it was reffed. Camp looked good and composed, which is just as well, as hes going to be our first choice next game. Now lets all join together in hoping Wigan get put to the sword!
Your lot were hard done by and still looked the better team by a country mile. On that performance, Sunderland have to be the worst team in the PL. The sending off changed the game completely and was obviously the wrong decision. Martin O'Neill should go to Spec savers. It just proves the point that, in the PL anyway, where every games is televised from 64 different angles, the referee should be able, nay required, to refer it to an adjudication from the ref viewing the game over the TV monitors.
The 1st 2 handballs were correct but obviously the 3rd was inside the box. Im sure the booking of the fat **** was correct too.
i think it was informed by the fact that we were already a man down. They shouldnt, but refs often seem keen to not unbalance a game too much with cards.
