And the trophy goes to Rowe
Branston Pickle replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Yes, how dare Wagner pick the best side he can…what sort of idiot is he?! -
Tonight's the night - Hull v Coventry
Branston Pickle replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Well, it seems likely that both the binners and Hull will want the win, and a draw would probably do us fine - it is one of those rare occasions where binners getting some sort of a result could do us a huge favour. -
Swansea predictions
Branston Pickle replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Depending how tonight’s game goes, we might only need a point to as-good-as confirm 6th, but we definitely don’t want to be counting our chickens…remember what happened last time we were relying on Cov not winning ‘x’ number of games to see us out!? -
Could we relegate Birmingham?
Branston Pickle replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Well, we’ll leave you tell them that, keep them busy while making our own hasty retreats! -
Intgot, intgot, got
Branston Pickle replied to A Load of Squit's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Ah, my first complete set was ‘Soccer Stars’ 1976/77 - still have it at home somewhere….spent my hard earned pocket money and did loads of swaps at school. -
Wow, you just won’t have it, will you. The fact here is simple: he was offside, it was given immediately - I saw it from the Barclay - and what happened after that is irrelevant. The ref’s whistle went as/before the shot was made. In terms of ‘offsides’ we didn’t get away with anything on Saturday, however much you appear to want it to be otherwise.

Well QPR was a definite sell-out, that’s for sure. -
Not watching but just called up the live text and saw that Leeds were losing. It is odd that all of the top 3 are struggling for form.

Branston Pickle replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
I’m rather hopeful that, if we and they need a draw, it is what we both get. That said, we do owe them one… -
No, it didn’t. That just isn’t correct, plain and simple. Our goal was onside*, their ‘second’ didn’t make it to the highlights so I can’t say, but the flag was up well before the shot was made and it is simply irrelevant. *At the time I thought it was onside, the linesman and ref said it was onside, and the goal stands. It was onside. Why are some so determined that it wasn’t?
-
We didn’t, that is the point. As I said, some people - you clearly included - seem to have to come up with ‘oh, but…’ comments as if to excuse us from getting a result. It is weird. It was not offside. End of.

Forest have had enough
Branston Pickle replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Thing is I don’t think they are corrupt, just inept and poor at their jobs. If anything, Var has underlined just how bad refereeing is in general. -
Today's other games
Branston Pickle replied to dylanisabaddog's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
The answer for me is that we need to (re)introduce the ‘benefit of the doubt’ favouring the attacker. For var, lines drawn should be much wider for the defender and narrow for the attacker. Level is onside, the toe of a boot doesnt, for me, constitute the player being clearly ahead of the defender. -
Forest have had enough
Branston Pickle replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
The first was one of those that ‘might’ be given, the other two look pretty clear-cut - that var didn’t feel there was enough to intervene on either is very poor. The weird thing is Forest having taken Clattenberg on as consultant, it hasn’t exactly changed their fortunes, has it?! -
Coventry fans pride
Branston Pickle replied to Coneys Knee's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
That is a classic case of where the lines should be thicker - benefit of the doubt should always go with the attacker, currently it is weighted the other way. -
Cardiff City suing Nantes
Branston Pickle replied to cambridgeshire canary's topic in Main Discussion - Norwich City
Utterly bizarre- how is it the fault of Nantes? Cardiff have behaved poorly over this , and look like a complete and utter bunch of a-holes. -

Coo - that will surely get them into trouble, but 3 pens not given is rather on the harsh side. -
I do wonder why so many seem to try to find something to worry about…whenever we win it’s always ’oh, but they created so many chances’, this time it’s ’oh, but our goal was offside’. It wasn’t. If Leicester’s goal against us earlier this season was onside, so was this one.
-
Bit like the Leicester goal against us - probably 50:50, imo he was onside
-
It could be either way - they could be looking for an important t win but Hull could as easily be already out of the play-off picture by the time of kick-off (which could help the binners).

Not sure about the word ‘limited’ - we are presumably not talking about more than a few hundred. It seems odd that they don’t tell us how large an allocation it is.
