There needs to come a time when refs are reviewed post games for their performances, and mistakes

There was an interesting article about this in the The Athletic recently. They very much are in the Premiership, but I don't know if it also happens in lower leagues.

Never a pen (neither was ours), missed a clear foul on McLean. As well the two other big calls you mention he's got utterly wrong, quite possibly the worst refereeing performance I've seen since Simon Hopper. 

Zimmerman clearly had his hand on the guy’s shoulder and pulled him back, definite pen

[K Lo 224]

Are Norwich the only side that are at a higher risk of conceding with a corner than scoring ?

[Ken Hairy 3,772]

Worse miss than Ronnie Rosenthal?? 

[Yellow Fever 3,785]

Norwich. No killer instinct.

[Fuzzar 1,702]

F*ck me that was frustrating.

Wasnt that a replica of the penalty that wasnt given to us

Not a chance, games gone to total **** if that's a penalty 🙄

[Spillay 180]

Another poor result, in the end lucky not to lose at the end. Have to be beating bang average teams like that at home, not good enough!

This question makes no sense whatsoever, your hypothesis is mathematically impossible.

It happens at all levels.

[Canary Wundaboy 1,359]

So, another team on a bad run of form come to a Carrow abroad, park the bus and get a point. Gotta start looking at ways to get maximum points in these games and score more goals, or we won’t stay top of the table for long.

[Hardhouse44 261]

Sorry but that was shambolic. 
 

So one paced and predictable. 

[ricardo 7,395]

Unable to score in open play. Got what they deserved. Toothless in attack and always concede a goal.

Not good enough.

[Fuzzar 1,702]

Ridiculously, a draw was a fair result given their miss at the end. 

But a very poor Christmas so far. 

[Branston Pickle 3,659]

Annoyingly not quite good enough - far too off their game first half.  IMO Vrancic is definitely not a 90 minute player, we could have done with some fresh legs well before they had their penalty and paid the price.

Utterly shambolic. Awful, awful, awful.

 

Losing to Watford felt better than this. Still a point, but christ is it frustrating.

[Canary Jedi 579]

This is how close we came to losing it. What a numpty!

[hepphep 175]

Their penalty was pretty clear foul, silly for Zimmerman to use his hands when we had penalty earlier. But otherwise, truly abysmal ref work today..

[sonyc 5,519]

Disappointing - and that word doesn't even get close to summarising that game. 

Needless penalty given away.

Didn't play at pace and determination til the second half.

Ref was another poor specimen for an official

 

[kirku 1,332]

Poor result, no getting away from that. 

[All the Germans 1,078]

I blame Kenny...

Absolutely this. And if anyone tells me that Buendia is the best Norwich player of all time just once more I think I might lose it. So easy to nullify even at this level.

[Fiery Zac 1,066]

Don’t mind drawing (or losing) if we’re outplayed or poor in our own play...but that was robbery.

Needs to be some consequences for officials performance.

We weren't toothless. We scored a very good goal which was wrongly ruled out, should have had another pen on Pukki, created several openings on edge of 18 yard box which for the most part Vrancic wasted, had Buendia clean through, Hanley should have probably scored a header.

Not scoring doesn't equal toothless.

[CDMullins 436]

Toothless in attack

So weak in defence. 

 

I'd genuinely worry about this squad going up. 

[hogesar 9,673]

These match threads are hilarious comedy value though, ill give you lot that.

[Darth Vadis 151]

Xavi and Gibson HAS to start next game. Couldn't believe the idiocy of Zimmermann there.

[The Real Buh 3,432]

We need to have a look at this attack big time. It’s so technical and fast and looks great but it’s not remotely incisive. It’s not far away from being absolutely deadly

[Foxy2600 301]

Same old same old - and we've got a decent selection of players now. How we can dominate and make it look like we are hanging on, waiting for the whistle 1-0 up at 75 mins - jeez!
