Cardiff City´s only league penalty.

Tue Apr 08, 2014 6:21 pm

I can see it happening, there is bound to be a twist left in our season. We will now go on a run of wins, pressure is off away from home and I think the players think its all over now so nothing to lose. Anyway, back to my dream scenario, last game of the season at home to Chelsea. Its injury time,93rd min, scores are level and then Cardiff are awarded a penalty ( the first and the one and only all season ). Score and we stay up. But who would you have take it? All that pressure, do we have anyone in the team that you could 100% trust to take it?
For me its Caulker or Marshall and I don´t care if he is the keeper he is City for me. :bluescarf:

I think that you are dreaming there because there is no way on this earth will Cardiff be given a penalty this season. Even if one of our players was rugby tackled or punched in the face would we be awarded a penalty :lol:

The standard of refereeing in the Premiership has been a disgrace. Quite shocking really when you see it week in week out. We should have been awarded many by now but I forgot we are only a 'small club'. In contrast, Liverpool have been awarded 15!

I think its a fact that no team in Prem history has both not been awarded a pen and not given away a pen in the whole season! Maybe an obscure quiz question for the future. :wave:

I'm certain we will have a penalty against us this season , defiantly not one awarded to us though

I'd be interested to see number of touches in the box per penalty on average for each team.
