Particularly looking at the first video on Page 1in my mind there is absolutely no doubt that Kenny raised an arm to block the opponent and he made first contact just below the shoulder. The opponent then slid down to the ground to make a meal of it, as we see on many occasions each week, and it was purely his action which caused Kenny's arm to slide up his face. In no way can anyone say Kenny deliberately aimed at his face. From the Norwich viewpoint Kenny is not that sort of player and I thought his quick response to see if the other guy was OK, looked genuine.

You see similar incidents in most games every week, particularly from corners and free kicks. If he spots it referee will have a word, otherwise play continues. If the match is on TV you might see it discussed in the highlights but never known FA to intervene. The mystery is why did they pick on this isolated incident.

Nowhere near the neck area. Just trying to hold the opponent off at a throw in. Opponent cheated - like they all do - by pretending he was hit in the face.

Amazing decision. Only half attempts to block the player by raising an arm in his midriffs. In common with many others these days opponent rolls over clutching his head in an attempt to get player sent off. This sort of incident happens time and time again when defending corners/set pieces. Normally ref goes through the motion of having words etc but rarely seen anyone conceding a freekick and definitely not a penalty. Can't even recall a yellow card being issued. Clearly someone has it in for us and the decision is clearly wrong and there ought to be scope for further appeal.

There should be no ifs and buts. We play our strongest team possible. The leading sides in the country are often playing two games a week, top class sides on many occasions, and usually play most of their 1st XL. Obviously the more games you play the more likelihood of injuries but that's all part of football. Many of our injuries appear to stem from the training ground. The chance of playing against premier sides for us to better assess our strengths must surely be worthwhile. It must also not be forgotten that football is part of the entertainment business and a good cup run will bring much needed fun and enjoyment for the many loyal supporters.

It seemed that our tippy tappy stuff was more likely to allow Plymouth to score rather than them creating anything. I am tempted to say that Gunn is the biggest culprit and he always seems to be hesitant. However what I notice this season is that this is not really Thorup's style and in general the build ups now comprise a lot of triangular passing which effectively breaks through the lines and creates goal scoring opportunities. This is a far better way to play rather than all this square passing in front of the opposition and hardly moving out of your own half. We were helped by the fact that Plymouth are not fit to play in this league.

In his opening thread Bob E states that if Plymouth had won last night they would have overtaken us in the league. They were not remotely anything like as good as us and we were a totally different class. I remain fairly confident that providing we avoid too many injuries and keep Sainz we will make the playoffs.

It will be very interesting to see how we progress under MA. He comes over as a quiet unassuming person who strongly supports both his sporting clubs and the surrounding local community. On the other hand he has founded and built up very large investment firms and is said to be personally worth $700 million and The Brewers are valued at $1.28 billion. Entrepreneurs with that kind of record would normally be regarded as tough ruthless individuals. The sporting club has modest average attendances of 30k and lease their ground which apparently was constructed with the assistance of public money amounting to $290 million. So by most English Football Club standards he is on a different planet and it is intriguing to know what really is the attraction to buy East Anglia's "premier team" !!! On the face of it he is in a position to inject very substantial funds subject to current rules. In common with many other locals I have invested £100 but not even sure I will ever get that back !!!

I assume we will give her a standing ovation tonight. "Oh Yes we will"

13th November.

Yes in theory that's true. But finance at Carrow Road was rarely discussed in depth as there was usually no good news on the subject and Delia's stock answer was always she was primarily a Cook and a Supporter and not a financial expert. For me questions from the floor have always been the highlight of the meeting.

Well I thought this Topic would be more interesting than telling you Ipswich won at White Hart Lane. !!!

Bearing in mind the number of football experts who frequent this site what is considered to be the most relevant question to be asked at the AGM this week. Perhaps to set the ball rolling could I mischievously suggest :- Mr A are you going to lob in another £30m or so to strengthen the squad - if the rules allow - or are we to continue to be a selling club !!

An abysmal performance made worse by some of our newcomers being given the chance to establish themselves but totally lacking in drive and desire. For me the most surprising thing is that our respected senior coaches, when we were two down, seemed to tolerate Duffy, Cordoba and Doyle just passing the ball sideways to each other in their own half and making no progress at all. Having said that, the midfield was non-existent and were never capable of finding any space. Bearing in mind Sheff Wed are mid table, only goes to prove the standards of Championship Football are pretty low.

Agree about your take on the penalty. The opponent came from behind Cordoba and so our player was totally unaware of his whereabouts and it was a case of the Boro player attempting to block Cordoba's clearance. Poor decision. Great entertaining game and a fine comeback bearing in mind we had to use several newcomers/youngsters who at the moment are barely up to Championship standard.
