    Fair enough, I hope we finish mid-table too.

    Finally an impartial view of the City performance where everyone isn’t called useless and crap and we create nothing.

    Good read

    Maybe that was because it was one of the only games recently where everyone wasn't useless and crap and we actually created chances.

    Perhaps it's a one off.

    "I personally think it was definite red card, but a questionable penalty decision".

    How did Sherlock work that one out?

    It was a foul committed in the penalty area but it isn't a penalty? The bloke is clueless.

    Harsh that. I understand that point of view as it was violent conduct but wasn’t really a foul in play.

    The ball is in play so if a foul is committed the free kick is from where the foul is committed so it has to be a penalty. It's the basic laws of the game.

    Out of interest, how would you have restarted the game if it's not a penalty?

    Yeah I get that and I would of said it’s a pen. What I’m saying is it doesn’t make him completely clueless because he isn’t sure.

    It’s not a normal situation where it’s a foul in the area. It was an aimless kick off the ball that didn’t even make contact. Not a foul but still violent conduct. A strange one either way.

    There doesn't have to be contact for it to be a foul. Intent is enough to give a decision.

    If he's reporting on games he should at least know the basic laws to retain credibility.

    Give it a rest. I know the laws but it’s not a normal situation- doesn’t make somebody clueless.

    You still haven't answered the question though. If it's not a penalty kick then how would you have restarted the game after the stoppage for the sending off?

    See below:

    Clearly has answered the question, not sure why you're looking for an argument when there isn't one there

    Has he?

    There's no argument and I'm not sure why you think you need to step in and mediate. I'm just interested in his/her view on how you'd restart the game if the penalty wasn't awarded.

    Feel free to contribute if you can make it down from your horse :thumbup:

    Impartial report or not, the point is that we got No Points. Zilch for all the endeavour. So nice performance, but diddly squat to show for it, back into the bottom four, a player banned for 3 games.

    So an impartial view in the report which says we can press and nearly match a team on the day, but still...............fall short.

    We are over 25% into the season, in the relegation zone, on target to get under 40 points.

    This is what is called an honest and objective view!

    Do you think we will get under 40 points?

    I agree with the diddly squat bit,and I was suitably miffed with getting nothing out of the game as it was put on a plate for us.Why didn't Ball take the penalty? He's a striker !
