Good god at the form table, 14th vs 20th

Teams are guaranteed so many live games per season so often these unattractive games crop up on tv.

Surprise up front, theres no place for top scorer Grant Holt

Because he has 5 goals all season and 1 in 9?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 1:30 pm

Not really a surprise at all.

If they actually did research they'd realise just how bad he's been recently

by GSC Sun 17 Mar 2013, 1:30 pm

Yeah they're really bigging it up as a shock. Whereas hes been dropped because hes a lazy fat ****

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 1:32 pm

Meh not a fan of Snodgrass on the left. Would rather he sticks to his normal right hand role, with Bennett going left

by Guest Sun 17 Mar 2013, 1:39 pm

Oh Danny boy...get Freek a goal..oh Danny Boy..

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 1:42 pm

Boom right in the kisser!

A player with 5 goals is Norwich's top scorer for the season?

I bloody well hope so. Real tough task now. Kamara needs to hold the ball up much better now

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:06 pm

Gameplan was working so well as well Sad

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:09 pm

No way, bugger off

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:10 pm

Yeah that's right lino wait until the crowd get on your back to give it. Jesus christ

by cherriesfna Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:12 pm

Have Norwich grasped the concept of the handball rule yet?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:15 pm

The Bunn one, yeah fair enough, its a red, but the penalty?! Come off it

This could get ugly

by The Special Juan Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:16 pm

As The Dundee derby has proven today, 10 men doesn't = a loss.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:19 pm

I hope Colin Calderwood tears the refs balls off

by JamesLincs Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:25 pm

You agree with what they said about the goalkeeper red?

by JamesLincs Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:36 pm

sorry i didnt see, i spent the half time watching their goal against barcelona

by JamesLincs Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:38 pm

red card anyway, imo

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:43 pm

Need to get Holty on, Kamara just isn't holding it up well enough

James - I'm sure Olly won't like it but I have to agree with you.

Yorke and Cole in the SKY box seemed surprisingly supportive of the Norwich keeper in my view. They didn't think the hand ball was deliberate. Maybe but it was certainly reckless and you would have expected a free kick if an outfield player (which Bunn became once he left his area) had done the same thing.

Did feel the penalty decision was harsh though. There had been a highly optimistic appeal for hand ball just outside the box a few seconds before. Wonder if that caused the linesman to be a bit quick on the trigger. Back in my cricketing days, some of the more unpleasant teams used to try something similar when a rookie umpire was officiating - give a small shout for an lbw appeal even when the ball was clearly missing just to get the umpire wondering and then follow it up with a louder appeal as soon as there was half a chance of another lbw!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:55 pm

I can understand why he gave the red card, but it's hit him under the arm. Only gets one look though.

The penalty is a disgraceful decision. The lino should have actually seen Graham about 2 yards offside behind Bassong. If that's not interfering with play I dunno what is.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 2:58 pm

Sunderland need to change it up. Need to get Sessegnon (dunno how to spell his name), more central

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 3:00 pm

THATS A PEN OH MY GOD

by JamesLincs Sun 17 Mar 2013, 3:00 pm

letter of law rules he should be sent off, and imo he can have few complaints as his arms were right into his body. no doubts for me

spurs 1-0 fulham i think

by Hulking_up Sun 17 Mar 2013, 3:01 pm

Norwich robbed of a pen

by Guest Sun 17 Mar 2013, 3:02 pm

What a terrible touch

by Ent Sun 17 Mar 2013, 3:03 pm

Yes but holt should have been sent off for that imo.

by **Hero** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 3:03 pm

Grant Holt hasn't run that fast since he heard there was a 2 for 1 sale on at Greggs.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 3:05 pm

The way the ref has been today I'm surprised he didn't jump at the chance to screw Norwich even more

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 17 Mar 2013, 3:06 pm

Shrewd move this by O'Neill. Gets Sessegnon in the middle

He did stick both his feet in on the keeper, lucky imo.
