I was in the River End and I don't think so.

Was the handball shout in front of the Barclay at the start of the second half a penalty!?

Ah! It was a definite handball from what I could see, but always feels harsh to give a handball that close. Of course I demanded it from the ref, but felt like it would have been harsh - although plenty of them have been given!

At least we were spared 10 minutes of VAR with that and Idah's goal.

Speaking of, if that goal WAS in the PL. I'm convinced var would have found it offside somehow.

I take back my previous post. It was actually handball TWICE

Fair enough then. I thought it must've been a good shout judging by the reaction of both the crowd and the players, but I'm not a fan of penalties being given for handball when the ball is struck from close range.

OK, fair enough. The first one you could understand not being given, but for the second one, his hand was basically head height.

It bounced off of a Hull defender first right? So should count even if VAR checked

I'd agree if he'd not had his hand up in the air like he was waving at his gran in row Z

I was speaking generally, having not seen the incident. 

But now that I've seen the video Hogesar just posted, yeah, that's a penalty.

Unless I'm being blind, there was no touch by a Norwich player between Nuñez's cross and Idah's finish. Idah didn't appear to be offside from the cross, so what were Hull asking for?

I think they thought it wasn't a corner in the first place then thought the whistle should have been blown on 95 minutes on the dot.

I've just looked on the Hull Facebook page.

There seems to be a few of them saying it was never a corner (no idea, to be honest) and it was clearly offside (doesn't look it from the two angles I've seen, but admittedly they're not good angles).

Most seem to admit that they were deservedly beaten though (agreed) and that Delap was their best player (also agreed, he had Gibson on toast).

If we had VAR the penalty would of been given and Idah's still allowed.

Hull lucky to get away with only losing 2:1 

Well done city.

Neither am I but some are given and this is something that VAR cannot cope with. Its about opinion, either ref, assistant or VAR.

They should either all be given or none.

Tbh you can’t tell from that angle, as a Norwich fan I am certain it was still in play, little like mitoma’s pull at the World Cup.

Dare I mention Mumba scoring a world class wondergoal and getting POTM for Plymouth?

I don’t care about Mumba, he plays for Plymouth (who I don’t care about) x

It looks out, but you play to the whistle and hope luck falls your way. Today it did. For once. On balance of the game as a whole, Hull can’t say they were robbed. 

[Newtopia 520]

Rowe was excellent, but the cut back which won the corner was a fantastic example of the intent and drive Stacey brought today.

[jaberry2 558]

Rowe was good for 45 mins, faded shortly after. I definitely think he starts over Onel from now on. Sara was my MOTM dictated the game when he was on

My only thought was that the ref was blind to the handball with at least two bodies in the way and the goal for the linesman.   Def handball, just not seen

[ZLF 281]

Sara def my motm today, but rowe was everywhere and a threat only dropping off when onel was subbed off and rowe went left.  Stacey impressed and thought dimi & duffy were solid, although I didn't realise that duffy also had hanleys 50p shaped head when in the opponents box.

 

Plenty to be pleased about.

Marvellous how he could see Idah was offside from the halfway line.

Yeah I was impressed. 

He got it wrong this time but sky's the limit.

[DraytonBoy 167]

Plenty of chances created but 5 on target tells a story, I thought Rowe, Sara and Stacey excellent but unless Omobamidele is being sold he needs to start in place of Gibson. The substitutions almost killed the intent to push for a winner and if it wasn't for Stacey's persistence the fans would have left a little disappointed.  

[Capt. Pants 4,325]

We should have won this comfortably but for poor finishing. Sara was outstanding, I will be very relieved when the transfer window closes.

Fantastic day out at Carrow Rd today and a celebration not seen since the Farke days.

Still it looks as though some have something to moan about, e.g Mumba who isn't as good as Rowe.

Special mention to Jon Rowe who has worked his nuts off to get back. Watch and note Tzolis.

A very unusually balanced report on the game from an opposing team's local sports reporter (apologies if this has been previously linked) https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hull-city-norwich-keith-stroud-8656543

Agree that this is a well balanced report about the team that lost. Don't see it that often.

[cambridgeshire canary 6,865]

Do wonder if we have plans to bring someone in to replace Tzolis?
