Watched the Norwich - Cardiff game - fair old bit of controversy in the final minute when a Norwich player put the ball in the back of the net rather than passing the ball back to the Cardiff keeper (from a throw that resulted from the ball being put out for an injury). Initially teh goal stood but was then ruled out....
yep it was the whole "sportsmanship" issue - technically the goal was valid & the scoreboard on the TV coverage had it at 1-0 for quite a while...the scorer Fer just ran off the pitch at the end, no Cardiff player shook his hand he looked a bit upset.
Do you know what fcuk all this sportsmanship business if the referee wants to stop the game, blow the fcuking whistle and re-start with a drop ball, it worked for years, no rules have been changed so why the change.

Forest dropped points last week as well - like us maybe not as good as people think.
Burnley keep on going though!
Why don't we have players that draw a foul in the box ....?
No wonder we only get awarded a couple of pens ib a season.
The throw has been taken, the ball is in play, the referee hasn't stopped the game at any point before the ball has crossed the goal line.
But then the Norwich player would know about sportsmanship and the code of conduct expected in this situation .....
We'd be rock bottom if we hadn't !!!
Said he'd do it again as well if it was 0-0.
