Match Thread Cardiff City - Coventry City Match Thread - Wednesday 1st Jan

[Tommo1993]

You bang on about him every week like he mugged your grandma

It’s calling an out of his depth footballer…out of depth

 

---

[Ccfcisparks]

We should be winning from this position now

 

[jordan210]

I like this substitute ref

 

[Hobo]

I think that was an accidental elbow from his immediate reaction

 

[bigfatronssba]

Yeah but he played top sides. The performances were better.

Yes the performance at Burnley was a classic.

A point at home against a 10 man team was also impressive

 

[PVA]

Let's go on and hammer these now.

 

[skybluegod]

Never a red card. good work from simms but awful defending from them.

 

[Evo1883]

The team should be fucking buzzing now come on

 

[Ashdown]

My word we are riding our luck with some of these decisions. Never a sending off

 

[Saddlebrains]

On such things do seasons turn

 

[Marty]

Come on city!!! There for the taking, they've impolded

 

[Seymour_East]

Need to play 2 up front now

 

[Ccfcisparks]

My word we are riding our luck with some of these decisions. Never a sending off

It’ll paper over the cracks. Although it will get us closer to safety

 

[Jamesimus]

We should be winning from this position now

I would take a point now

 

[chiefdave]

45 minutes against a team in the bottom 3 playing with 10 men. No excuses here.

 

[Evo1883]

Yes the performance at Burnley was a classic.

A point at home against a 10 man team was also impressive

We were losing when they went down to 10

 

[Jamesimus]

My word we are riding our luck with some of these decisions. Never a sending off

Refs love Frank

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

We have to go on and win this now. No other option

 

[Tommo1993]

There’s literally no way of you proving he’s been more involved than Bassette would have been

There’s been times he’s held up the ball when Bassette would’ve gone to ground and screamed at the ref for fuck all. The physicality between them is worlds apart

 

[Matt smith]

Let's go on and hammer these now.

I’d still take a point

 

[robbiekeane]

one thing no one can argue is Lampards substitutions can change the game - bringing on this Ref was an inspired decision

 

[Pusb1]

On such things do seasons turn

pinned for when Cardiff end up inevitably winning this game

 

[MalcSB]

Soft sending off

Makes a change from stonewall reds not being given. Just hope the sub ref doesn’t decide to even it Up.

 

[clint van damme]

My word we are riding our luck with some of these decisions. Never a sending off

Remember a very harsh sending off for us at Cardiff many years ago so fuck em!

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

He knew what he was doing and got caught

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

When he was offside in the first half and carried on playing after the whistle, I was lip reading Robinson and he was telling the ref to fuck off for being called out on it and generally giving him abuse. It was a totally over the top reaction and quite disrespectful to the stand-in ref.

I reckon he's seen that there and decided to take some revenge with a no leniency red card.

 

[skybluegod]

A lot of red cards for teams playing against us this season. Is that 5 or 6 so far this season?

 

[Great_Expectations]

Against 10 men, and a team in the bottom 3, we have to be expecting a win now.

Thats not an unfair ask.

Manager and players to step up now.

And most importantly, Simms to show exactly how good he is.

 

[bigfatronssba]

We were losing when they went down to 10

And we had a whole half against 10 men

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Simms just shoot.

 

[Jamesimus]

There’s been times he’s held up the ball when Bassette would’ve gone to ground and screamed at the ref for fuck all. The physicality between them is worlds apart

Well one of them is built like a fridge and the other is built like a bus ticket so they kind of have to play different games!

 

[hill83]

Proper 50p head Simms

 

[Frostie]

Well.. I've said before it's better to be lucky than good & we won't get much more good fortune than we've had in both games vs this lot.

 

[shmmeee]

Simms in form hits that early and scores

 

[Evo1883]

And we had a whole half against 10 men

Right and we scored and got something ?
