Bang on. You win some, you lose some. Ref evened it out. Next game please.

This.

I did say just after it happened we were lucky to get away with the Flint challenge.
Stone waller for me.

Happy with a point there when all's said and done.

Not a penalty for me. Yes, Pack had hands on him, but the WBA player obviously dived. There was no pulling, no shoving. That's the kind of bullshit that gets given by VAR. Most refs wouldn't give that in real-time.

Okay, maybe not a stone wall penalty but these are very often given.

It depends how much force there has been in the pull back and only the players themselves know whether it was enough.
Pull a shirt and you run the risk.

If it was outside the box then I reckon they'd be given nine times out of ten and the way that the ref had been officiating all through the game, I would not have been at all surprised had a pelanty been awarded.
I doubt Pack would have had much defence had it been.

It was a stupid challenge whichever way you view it.

It was stupid. If anyone on here can tell me why Pack had his hands on the WBA players shoulders as he's attempting to get around the outside of him then i'd be interested to know what the reason was. I'd very much doubt that it was for anyone elses benefit apart from pack, and i very much doubt that it would have helped the WBA player in any positive way, in fact, it could be argued that it impeded his movement. Thankfully, the Ref didn't see it that way, probably because they had scored an offside goal and it was the final kick of the game. For me, a penalty, i'd expect it if it was us and i would be disappointed if it wasn't given. As would the majority on here who are saying it wasn't a penalty. That's football.

2 players offside for their goal https://twitter.com/threebluebirds_/...729832451?s=21

wow, player between the defender and goal, can't be any easier to spot

Don't think so. But also looks a '90% penalty' from the replays. Not sure why Pack was doing that, so daft. I'd also like to say what big-hearted bloke Flint is. I know most players give 100% but he just exudes effort and passion. If City could find a 30yr old Bamba to play alongside him in a back 4, we would let in half the goals we currently do.

That's the point, Pack gave the ref a decision to make, idiot. I like Flint, he works hard and doesn't go missing when he makes a mistake or things get tough for him. Limited at times but honest and competitive. He's a good pro.

Incredible the turnaround in his Cardiff career, from an overpriced (I'd say he still is) donkey to cult hero!

Neither did the ref, thankfully

Only saw the second half. Happy with the point but it’s 2 dropped for me. Their goal was offside and we had an extra man for twenty minutes.

Colwill was positive and should start for me, but Davies should have come on sooner and he should have moved away from Bartley who was too strong for him. Let Collins occupy him.

Not a pen IMO.

Eddie Johnson?.....West Brom have just signed "Eddie Johnson in disguise". As seen at half time. USA international I bet he's wondering what he has let himself in for.
