MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v NORWICH CITY " MATCH THREAD

Norwich look uncomfortable.

Norwich hit the crossbar

Great opportunity of the Nor hit the bar with our goalkeeper motionless. We were lucky.

Norwich go close before the Bluebirds attack with positivity again...

This is now a lively game

Romaine Sawyers is replaced by Mark Harris on 59 mins

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 NORWICH CITY
Scorer: Romaine Sawyers (52 mins)

Mark Harris and Joe Ralls on.

Romaine Sawyers and Max Watters off.

A Norwich corner is thwarted and I have to say a very compact Bluebird side in defence is holding well

This Bluebird side look like they are able to change shape and interchange with each other at different points

Kipre is a [code][/code]star in the making on this performance and he is not alone

Mark Harris and Joe Ralls on.

Romaine Sawyers and Max Watters off.

Don’t rate him but hopefully the pace of Harris will be used well. Not watching as in Spain atm but do you reckon Ralls for Saayers is tactical? Maybe to get stuck into Cantwell?

Violent brawl on the pitch now

I don't understand... there was at least one Norwich player to be expelled. The referee gave a yellow to us one to them.....

RED CARD Bluebirds!

NG off (2nd yellow on 73 mins)

NG off

Deserved Chris? Straight red?

Ng sent off

Second yellow.

Idiot

Unjust expulsion. We are one minus. This referee is ruining the game. The second yellow was not there.

Can 2 yellows resulting in a red be overturned if unjust or is that just a straight red?

Whyte on for O'Dowda (81 mins)

What was unjust about it? Ng pulled his shirt & doing that always runs the risk of a yellow.

Don't know I couldn't make the game so skipping between here and BBC

Kipre is great. Of another category. Double yellow also for them Hanley out we return in numerical parity

double yellow. But the foul that determined the second yellow was absolutely not yellow.

Ng pulled his shirt which is always risking a yellow, he didn't even need to do it which is more annoying.

7 minutes added on.

A series of Norwich corners sees the Bluebird defenxe hold out and the game of 10 v 10 goes into 7 minutes of injury time with the Bluebird lead intact

The somewhat erratic referee has finally given one of his strange decisions to the Bluebirds and a little pressure is released; not that we aren't still pressing forward ourselves

It was not sensational the foul of the second yellow of Ng ..... I believe.

A much deserved win for a much revamped Bluebirds team that augs well for the battles ahead

Norwich supporters pre-match believed this team were better than last years, so kudos to our guys

Great start for us

Victory! Great City! This season we will have fun and... I think we will also be there for the highest positions.

Shirt pull is a mandatory yellow card.

Hanley second yellow was dubious.

Usually like Robinson as a ref, but hes started this season with a bit of a mare. That trap where you expect Cardiff to be thugs a Norwich to be tiki taka. Agreed we were physical, but Norwich were no angels today, and the ref didnt deal accordingly in my view.

Joke officials, how did Cardiff get 3 yellows from the brawl? Ralls was a yellow for the cynical foul, but why the others?

If it's a yellow for shirt pull, Harris had is pulled twice. Once in the box, once when he was jostling with the defender to get through

So glad we closed the game out, c**t officals
