Three points drop at QPR

Defeat at QPR means Cardiff drop five points behind them but stay in second three points ahead of Swansea City.

Thanks to the internet I had a joy able afternoon watching the game live while watching live scores on the red button with the BBC. It fell like a television studio has I reacted to scores from around the leagues.

Cardiff had the first half sown-up in this top of the table clash and deserved to open the scoring. It was Captain Craig Bellamy who put the Welsh club into the lead. The home team equalised five minutes later to square the game again.

The second half was much of the same with Cardiff on top of the game but if you don’t score it means nothing. However it was to be QPR to take the lead for the first time in the game 12 minutes into the second half. Even after the goal Cardiff when on the hunt for a goal to level the games up again but two incidents were to upset the Cardiff bench and players.

Was the Jay Bothroyd incident a penalty! Yes, with out a doubt it was a pen and it was confirmed to me on see it in slow motion. They is nothing that can be done now, the referee can say sorry he miss it but we lost and miss out on a point or may three who knows.

Of course the managers had something to say on the matter, first City boss Dave Jones:

"How can the referee not see it? And if he doesn't see it, how can the linesman not see it?

"They're the big decisions that matter in tight games like this.

"Everybody in the stadium could see it was a penalty. The reaction of the QPR players tells you that. We feel hard done by.

"I went to see him (the referee) about it afterwards and he asked if I was questioning his integrity. I was questioning his decision.

"Referees have got to be better in games like this. Was the game too big for him? That's for the referee's assessor to decide."

The other incident mentioned by Jones was the Bellamy one a bit later and it wasn't a penalty in my book.

On the subject of the ref the QPR boss Neil Warnock:

"I thought the referee had a good game.

"What Dave's saying is deflecting from the result, and we deserved to win that match."

If the shoe was on the other foot you can just image his reaction.
