Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 2 SUNDERLAND. Match thread

Granted we were awful yesterday but both their goals came from officiating mistakes - never a penalty or free kick leading to their second. Haven’t seen a replay but been told the foul on Bowler in the box was a definite penalty and potentially a red card for going over the top of the ball. I’ve seen some terrible performances by officials this season but can’t remember one being so costly.

He was a poor ref, Capt Mainwaring in shorts with a whistle.

Very strange performance, seemed to buy a lot of the cheap dives from Sunderland players then ignores all but the slightest foul in the penalty areas.

I don't believe it cost anything. I'm certain Sunderland would have won regardless who was refereeing. City were absolute garbage.
