Struggled to say anything good about us...

That's not true. He gave Cardiff credit where it was deserved for a dogged performance and for the way they 'stole' the game. He only stated that he thought Leicester were arguably the better side overall and should/could have won had Vardy taken the penalty

He criticised Maddison for taking the penalty and heaped praise on the Victor Camarasa winner, describing it in a way only he can! :laughing6:

He also praised Sol Bamba and Neil Etheridge for their displays and (tongue in cheek) said he was glad Cardiff won because he didn't want to listen to Neil Warnock who had been berating Fourth Official Mike Dean all game!

It'll be interesting to hear what they boy Lineaker (et al) says on Match of the Day tonight, though! :laughing6:

As sven said he had quite a lot of positive things to say about our performance. He even said we deserved to win it!

Lineker will say the penalty should have been retaken.

That came out all wrong
what I meant was he said a lot of good things and gave us credit, but i thought the way he said it and his body language he was struggling to be complimentary

They asked Shearer on BBC 5 Live what he thought of Fulham and Cardiff,s brilliant results today, his reply was, “ I thought Fulham,s result was magnificent”. And that was it, no mention about Cardiff :evil: :bluebird:

Totally disagree. Commented on our good spell towards the end of the first half & again taking control of the second. Plenty of compliments given & agreed that the pen was’soft’. Thought he did a good impartial job. Really heaped praise on Etheridge.

I’m at work today and didn’t see any of the Soccer Saturday coverage.

But they’re normally quite balanced when not talking about their own club.

Never had an issue with Thompson on there before, and sounds like most are saying he was fair to us.

No surprise that they’ve kept Stelling, Merson, Le Tissier, Thompson and Nicholas for so long - probably the fairest group in football on TV.

Ditched Sky a while back, watch BT Score, Hartson covered our game and was also (perhaps) surprisingly quite complimentary about us.

He praised Etheridge for the penalty save, found he was honest on his reviews

Vardy would have struggled to score the pen also. He was already subbed
