we seem to have had this soft underbelly for years, no manager has been able to get on top of it
different players different managers yet we blow it more often than not

remember all those time against Man Utd

it is a about belief and confidence which we seem to need at the moment

Cardiff were the victims of some awful decisions last season and it seems we have replaced them this season.In the 6 games so far we have had Aitkinson fail to send Billings of Bournemouth off,that idiot Friend rob us of a goal among other bad decisions and now another idiot Moss rob us of a blatant penalty
Equally we've had two players sent off against us and a good few opposition penalty shouts turned down.

I'm not saying it all balances out and a couple of the decisions against us have been truly awful, but it's not all one way.

Agreed.

I would say as many decisions went 'for us' as 'against us' yesterday.

We lost that game through poor decisions. Our own, rather than the officials, in my opinion.

Poor teams thrive on the 'woah is me' mentality. Good teams don't need to.

I thought John Moss was very good yesterday. Couple of marginal decisions in favour/against both teams but overall it was good performance by the officials.

It would have been very helpful if he'd have spotted the obvious handball. You can always tell by players reactions, it wasnt just the away end that appealed.

Not just the penalty decision;their winning free kick illegally had an Arsenal player in our wall. Should have been disallowed.

Don't go coming on here being all reasonable and rational, Aftab.

Did not go or have watched the game, but according to Lee Hendrie, Wesley played well in the first half, did not hear his comments about the rest of the game.

I think we're clutching at straws to blame the officials yesterday.  The penalty would have been harsh as he was moving his arm into his body.  Also, I don't think they had a player in our wall, looking at the shots from in front and behind.  Nobody to blame but ourselves and if he didn't want to start with 2 holding midfielders, he almost certainly should have changed it when we began to drop deeper.

I don't think many are blaming him for the defeat. Even if we had been 4-0 up or 4-0 down, it's a penalty.

From what McGinn said the players and coaches had a full and frank exchange of views in the dressing room. Which is exactly what you would expect a strong dressing room to do after turning a victory into a defeat against ten men.

Correct me if i am wrong,but i thought the new rules state that if the ball hits the arm or hand it is a penalty weather it is intentional or not

Smith chose not to put him in the Squad yet brought him on aginst West Ham

If you're going to go defensive every time after 60 mins why bother having hourihane and lansbury on the bench?

It's all very strange
