@huckerbysbarber @pinkun @FocusImagesLtd @paulhc64 A penalty that never was and 2 town players should have been sent off so I’d say he played a rather major role tbh

@pinkun @FocusImagesLtd @paulhc64 Not that he’s the reason we lost, but surprised to see him near anything this weekend as he was by any measure, shocking. That said, I’m not sure this is a punitive measure tbh. #ncfc

🟨 Fourth official duties only this weekend at #Blackburn and #SheffWeds for #NCFC derby whistler Backhouse Make of that what you will 🤨

@FlaxmanDar96450 @Saves1990 Agreed. That said Ipswich spent about £200m last season and got one home win all season. One. If we go up we have to be better than that.

@Saves1990 #ncfc have had 2 genuine chances to establish ourselves in the Prem in the last 20 years (post Lambert and Farke 2nd promotion) both times the vision, leadership and cash were found wanting. Clement must be backed long term

I’m so pleased for Daniel Farke. Never given the proper tools at #ncfc in the Premier League was dubbed as someone that couldn’t cut it in national media. Going to keep Leeds up and an FA Cup Semi-Final. Such a shame we couldn’t back him with what he deserved.

Update....after 15 same days of the week this year ie 15 Mondays, etc the total amount of solar PV (kWh) I have generated at home in Norwich on each day is- Wed 284.3 Sat 250.0 Tue 243.1 Mon 240.3 Sun 212.0 Thu 210.6 Fri 159.9 Wed🌞👍 Fri ☁️👎 @metoffice

@DHannant87 @pinkun Yep quite….basically his third yellow card. You could see the panic on the ref’s face knowing what the outcome would be had he done his job ie a red card.

@GPS1963 @pinkun Yep, that’s exactly the one that leaps out at me too. Davis then kicked the ball away, so if anything it wasn’t identical, it was worse.

🗣️'We saw identical offences given different punishments, constant disruption to the ebb and flow of the game.' 😠Why the East Anglian derby turned @DHannant87 into Mr Angry🔰 pinkun.com/sport/opinion/…

@metoffice It's been sunless (and maximum of 15 degrees so far) all day in Norwich and that's pretty far east 😉

While the east enjoys warm sunny spells for now, a cold front, bringing heavy rain, is moving eastwards, with much cooler air following behind 🌬️

@Gary_Gowers Amazing what happens when a ref doesn’t gift you everything isn’t it.

😊

@TomIves356257 Yep. Ref will get involved I’m sure 😉

It's not over yet, just like the Mckenna/Bournemouth thing, at least wait until the fact before you start taking the piss otherwise you make us all look stupid. #ncfc

@jonnyb19 Yes you are right to a point but tbf the ref made a massive difference. Helped them on multiple occasions.

Even more reason to be pissed off about Saturday… they really aren’t that good but we barely laid a glove on them and it really was an opportunity! #ncfc

No ref bloody well helping them out today is there!! #ncfc

@afrodids @pinkun All sides can say exactly this though. You’ve been awarded more penalties than everyone else in the league and more this season alone than Norwich have in the last 4 seasons combined.

@pinkun Oh well. It'll make up for the penalties missed v Preston and Leicester and the penalty that stoke received which shouldn't have been given... Swings and roundabouts...

@Gary_Gowers Sometimes you have to stand back and look at the facts. They just seem incapable of admitting to some of the events that actually happened. Imagine the official complaints they would make if they were on the receiving end of this appalling ref. They never are with him though.

Lost count of the number of ‘them’ who’ve popped up on my timeline or in replies today. How many of them were coherent, sensible and fair? One! I shit you not

Expected an insufferable day. Wasn’t disappointed. Eugh. #ncfc

@Gary_Gowers Their sense of entitlement is off the scale - perhaps that's why they expect the officials to help them every game.

@GinaBelle1981 We had one at Blackburn in August tbf - our once a season decision given in our favour 🥴

@GPS1963 I am so interested to know how many points have been gained by the penalty advantages in those 8 games. It’s an unreal amount. We’ve not had one given all season.

Ipswich have been awarded more penalties this season than #ncfc have been awarded in the last 4 seasons combined!! Yet still they claim they have been hard done by this season!!

@pinkun Ref didn’t do his job properly so other people directly suffer. Nice work from the officials as usual.

@Wrighty2902 If you watch the penalty area rather than the flight of the ball you would have seen our players being bear hugged. Happens every corner.

Our delivery from corners generally hasn't been good this season. I didn't think it was too bad yesterday - what we do lack is somebody with the ability to time their runs to enable them to win attacking headers on a regular basis like say Steve Bruce used to #ncfc

@IanMcIntyre74 @DHucks6 There was indeed as Taylor just ran into the back of Slimane throwing his head before it happened. Still frames prove nothing. Most players try and con officials tbf.

@GPS1963 @DHucks6 No contact 😂

it's 100% a penalty! #Ncfc

@MFW_NCFC @Gary_Gowers I still find it puzzling that even some of our own ex players are saying without Vlad they would have scored 5. Each keeper made 3 saves. Apart from his 3 saves he only had 1 corner and 5 crosses to deal with!! Their keeper had 38 crosses and 13 corners to deal with. Far busier.

🟢🟡 Comfortably numb... following the Backouse and Del Boy show. 🗣️ @Gary_Gowers LINK: norwichcity.myfootballwriter.com/2026/04/12/com…

@viensjef Totally this. There is no justification in treating identical offences with different outcomes. Zero. Ref unfit for purpose. You can’t just favour one side. That’s unacceptable and he should be banned.

Forget the Nunez red card, the most baffling decision was when Cordoba went down (not a foul) and grabbed the ball and was booked. Then literally seconds later Leif Davis does exactly the same fucking thing (then kicks the ball away) and doesn’t get a second yellow 🙃 #ncfc
