' MATCH THREAD: BIRMINGHAM v CARDIFF ' MATCH THREAD '

Hit him in the face.

43min free kick brum headed away Malone.
Then brum play in again hit city player in face but ref gives penalty , shocking 1-0 brum

Awful decision hopefully he looks at that half time and gives us a soft one second half

Feel for the boys there. Not a deserved penalty,clear to see. Hope they don't lose it in the dressing room at half time.

Cheating bastards

Terrible decision.

Video says hit player in the face

They said on commentary he wasnt even supposed to ref the game.

I thought id never seen him before.

Not a f*cking penalty.

Half Time 1-0 Brum

Rubbish first half for me. Needs to move the ball around better, and a plan would help.. Unlucky to go behind!

Hit him in the face.

Shocking decision, another reason why fans stay away. The guy was less than 10 yds away and no obstruction, he shouldn't put a whistle in his mouth again

KJ his usual lazy self, he won't get £35k a week anywhere when his contract runs out

Pathetic decision by ref and a calamity from Marshall dropping the ball there

100% not a penalty, for this type of decision and for the sake of the game we need video refs ASAP

He has guessed that decision. Without a shadow of a doubt.

Slade gives the ref an earful going down the tunnel.
Holloway commentating says decision unexeptable.

Holloway just said. The ref couldn't see it (brummie player blocked his view) so definitely shouldn't have given it. Shocking decision.

That'll fuking cost us 1-0 to them guaranteed now get the fking bet on now

No way the ref could see that. Kills a reasonable 45 mins but lets see what we're made of.

Slade punched the ref, can't come out second half. Ref has black eye

HaHa who believed that?
Anyway Marshall makes fine save 48min

51min 50/50

Not being funny, brum are utter shite, should win this surely.

53min brum looking the better

54 min Ameobe looking good

We are clearly the better team.

55min City still under pressure

Game needs Whittingham!

57min City on attack

Is the ref Keith Stroud? If so, not surprising the scoreline & sh*t decision for pen.
We always get f all when he's the ref. Can't remember when we've ever won with him reffing. My memory's shot anyway , so don't come back on that one
Hope we can scrape a draw but I'd be surprised
