I know it's only notional but had Chelsea not picked up 3 points that day, Arsenal would got the Champions League spot and Chelsea the Europa League.

Was it the worst decision of the season? The only one I think comes close was another one against us. The failure to award a penalty in the home game against Watford.
The reversal of the pelanty awarded at Burnley !!!Originally Posted by simonp_ccfc
Unfortunately, that was the correct decision.
Was it bollox, !!!!!!!
How come the defender looked so guilty ????
They showed it on ref watch and explained it. Can't recall why it was correct, but it was.
City could have had 2 or 3 penalties in that game.
That though was the right decision
See post on page 1That though was the right decision
No it was not wrong, in fact we should have had 2 pelantys
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the comedy penalty at Old Trafford last weekend. Can you imagine Warnock's reaction if a penalty like that had been given against City in a game that had something riding on it? Oddly, he didn't complain about the quality of the officials at Manchester.
Oh come on!! we all know it doesn't count if it's in our favour. It's just luck then!!
The point is that the dodgy penalty at Old Trafford, the, marginally, offside winner against Brighton and Gunnar getting away with the sort of penalty area wrestling hold that are commonly committed on our captain against Chelsea were the only occasions where a major match affecting decision went in our favour - the only time we had the "rub of the green" (the reversed penalty against Huddersfield should not be counted because it ensured that the correct decision was made).Oh come on!! we all know it doesn't count if it's in our favour. It's just luck then!!
Off the top of my head, I can think of a dubious penalties against us for Bournemouth and Newcastle, a very strong claim for one at Everton, an obvious one against Watford, a whole host of decisions which went Chelsea's way, what happened at Burnley and fouls on Morrison in the penalty area by Liverpool and Fulham players as instances where we had justifiable complaint against the performance of match officials.
Are you serious?!? The correct decision indeed.....
How about the blatant penalty that wasn't given against Southampton?
Weren't Arsenal denied a clear penalty at the Emirates before half-time?
Nothing odd about it.
He couldn't afford to.
The ref knew we were down by then, would never have been awarded if we had needed 3 points to stay up!!!
It was like a token gesture wasn’t it? Here you are Neil have this one now as we know we’ve ballsed up so often this season, have a win on us at Man Utd for a bit of goodwill....sneaky****ers
Its a very good illustration of how a seemingly isolated incident can have ramifications far further and more important to some people than might be imagined.
Perfect example of the ripples made by dropping a pebble in a pool of water.
....or a butterfly fluttering it's wings in a Brazilian jungle.
Our goal to win at home against Brighton was pretty bad. I firmly believe that Chelsea result would have inspired us and Brighton would have shit themselves.
Flip it around though and without that win against Brighton maybe we never get close enough to test them.
For me the non award of the penalty home to Watford was the worst of the lot. Ref has clear sight of it, not far from him and its nailed on. He actually saw it far closer than I did and decided not to give it. Least with Chelsea the linesman didn't get himself in the right position to have a choice to make.
So we lose 5-2 to Watford? I don't see the significance.
If our home results had been better against Burnely, Huddersfield, Leicester and Newcastle , these decisions would not be such a talking point .
If my aunty had balls she'd be my uncle...
No wait not in this gender neutral era.
But they would because there we so many blatantly against us, if we would have stayed up it would have been despite them!
Its all irrelevant.
But lets face it only the most anti Cardiff people would even try to put forward an argument that things evened out.
Eg.
Liverpool Morrison fouled no pen. Salah fouled pen.
Not that it makes a difference but Morrison was the one with a clearer chance.
