The goal scored by hull should not have stood.

[Eric_s]

I am not sure if anyone realise this, the double corners from which hull equalise from were wrongly given by the pathetic refree.
Corluka did not touch the ball so it should not have been a corner, as video replay clearly shows. Then the first corner, Cudicini was blatantly fouled by gardner, proven by replay, hence there should not have been a second corner.
We did not perform in the first half but hull hardly look like scoring then. They were really up for this game and so I think our victory deserve more credit than some people think.

We also should have had a blatant corner in the 1st half but the ref gave a throw. Swings and roundabouts mate. You win some you lose some.

 

[Shanks]

It looked to me that the ball did hit corluka, even with the firwt replay, so hard to slate the ref for that.
And the foul on cudicini?
If that was a foul on cudicini, then it would have been a foul on the hull defender when Woodgate scored ;-)

Cudi should have come through em, or punched.

 

[davros]

Fair point about giving credit where it is deserved, but I'm sure we've had dodgy calls in our favour this season.

 

[mil1lion]

Actually it did touch Corluka. He totally misjudged the flight of the ball and it grazed his thigh. I do think the ref could have blown for the fowl on Cudicini. There wasn't much in it, but those decisions have often been given so for the sake of consistency, it should have been given there. But we have to get on with it, and defend the corners better. I wish we would put someone on the back post at corners though.

 

[ravo]

I thought it hit Corluka as well. Poorly judged, like against l'Arse a couple of weeks back.

The 'foul' on Carlo was a tough one, due to Garnder's height and Carlo's lack thereof. It was probably OK.

Re the goal, I was actaully more disappointed that we didn't have anyone on the back post. They would have stepped off the line and put their foot through the ball before Hull would have been near it.

What is it with us and fucking set-pieces. Every time we've had a corner or free kick against us in the last five seasons, I think we're going to concede.

Was a corner, no foul, and Cudicini came and missed and was responsible for the goal.

 

[Kendall]

Definite corner, a foul on Cudi would've been soft as runny shit.

 

[JonnySpurs]

It was a corner, Charlie misjudged it and to be honest he again didn't have the best of games.....as far as the foul goes, looking at it again Gardner clearly puts his hands on Carlo's shoulders and stops him from jumping so whether u think it's soft or not, it's still a foul.

However, that's all conjecture really, there's nothing to say that they wouldn't have scored from another corner later in the game had they not got a lucky bounce off Wilson at that stage of the game.....it was a shit, skanky goal which is what all the goals seem to be like that we concede but the bigger issue is that we are STILL sooo prone to set pieces and that's unacceptable.

I was also gutted that Wilson's volley didn't miss Gardner it would've ripped a hole in the net he hit it so sweetly....shame.

 

[robin09]

We won 2-1. Just be thankful that renders any poor decisions irrelevant.

 

[maltahotspur]

Well at least Lennon scored from a well worked set piece corner. At long last we got one on the board for us, after a very long time. In fact I cannot remember the last time we were successful from a set peice with a goal.

 

[g_harry]

dont know what you were watching but the ball hit corluka

 

[worcestersauce]

Was a corner, no foul, and Cudicini came and missed and was responsible for the goal.

He didn't miss the ball at all, he came out for the ball and he got to it unfortunately when it came down it hit Palacios and rebounded back to the Hull player on the line to score, if he'd missed it the ball would have probably gone on missed by everyone.
Had it not hit Palacios it would have been accepted that he cleared the ball.

I would have preferred him to catch the ball but to just follow the "he missed it line" is just wrong.

No he didn't miss it but he did 'punch' it down which is almost as bad as missing it. Yes it was unlucky that it rebounded the way it did but if you either catch it or punch it properly then the risk of that happening isn't there.

Poor goalkeeping and no excuses unfortunately.

 

[Winchy85]

Was both a corner and a foul. Personally it's a fucking soft foul, but if there's any consistency in premiership refereeing then that's a foul on Cudicini because he challenged him for the ball! Ridiculous.

 

[AllSeeingEye]

It wasn't a great game, but at least we won. Their goal wasn't great, and apart from Lennon's goal we had plenty of opportunity to make it a thriller but never pulled it off.

Hull were battling like motherfuckers to stay in the game, the defending was fairly solid from them, and they knew that they might be able to take our scalps on the break, and they nearly did so.

The ref, wankers as refs are, was a bit shit, but by-and-large you have to take it on the chin when decisions are tight, and I don't think either of those would have changed the outcome of the game much anyway.

So what if they hadn't scored then? Does it change the result?

I guess what I am saying is that it's not worth getting upset over, it's all by-the-by now, we have to move on and be happy with the win.

OK, he came, he cocked it up and might as well have missed it, they scored, and he was responsible for the goal. Better?

I thank you.

Yes, most refs would have given it if they'd seen the elbow/arm move up on Cudi's face, but what can you do? I've seen worse fouls missed and much worse decisions given to fuss about that when the 3pts come our way.
