FT: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 2 SUNDERLAND. Match thread

[The Lone Gunman]

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.

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

We couldn't get near them, referee may have made some mistakes but he certainly isn't the reason we lost

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.
