NZogbia for Bowery at half time is a fucking must

[danlanza]

Norwich 1-1

[neo_Villan]

Bowery's gone missing

More worryingly, Benteke hasn't even turned up yet. Being marked out the game.

If Weimann went down then we had more chance of a pen

BBC sport says it was Gabby fouling goalie and is then booked for dissent!!!

Who is watching this game....a blind man?

I sometimes think the BBC football journo's are all bluenoses..

[ozzjim]

That looked a fucking foul on Andi

[Summers]

Fuck off Referee. Keeper caught him.

dive

caught him. whether it was a penalty or not, his foot was clearly caught.

he shoulda shot anyway, and none of it woulda happened.

This is a big thing in football, it's all well and good to punish players for diving but of you try to stay on you r feet it's very rare for refs to give them, so you get situations like that where they try to stay up, realise the chance is gone and know they're not getting the free kick unless they 'earn it'.

agreed, it's lose/lose. he tried to run on after the trip, but couldn't. then went down. he was still caught. same just happened with Weimann. caught in the box, stayed up/got up but lost the chance. but he was still caught.

HT 0-1. Boos from the home crowd.

Why were we pissing around with the ball there giving them a chance?

[Rigadon]

Good half.  We are going to win this one.

Lambert go and get a burger , forget about the team talk

[Toronto Villa]

That was a really good first half. We played some lovely stuff and should be miles ahead. Now, inevitably we can shit ourselves for the second half and pray we can score again

He did go down and got up again quickly.
