I couldn’t attend tonight as had child duties, but it was funny listening to some of the half time texts on BBC Tees. It felt like some Boro fans were very angry with the referee for giving a very soft Red card.
One in particular criticising Howson for his reaction. Howson gets caught a little bit and he made a meal of it, but for me, he’s shown a bit of gamesmanship. Other sides have done it to us in the past so i have no problem with it, especially given the game situation.
It was a huge turning point in the game and we looked like we were in for a difficult night beforehand.
However, I still don’t get what their midfielder is doing spinning round and lifting his legs from the floor up towards JH. He didn’t kick out but he catches him. If that was a Boro player I’d be fuming with him for giving the Referee some kind of decision to make. That said, I’d still be very aggrieved as a Norwich fan tonight as it wasn’t a red IMO.
What I would say, is that we’ve been on the end of some awful decisions this season (penalties not given and goals incorrectly given offside etc.). We’ve been long overdue one going our way.
Much needed win. Given our recent form, I don’t care how the points come at the moment, as long as we can get out of this slump.
