I see Norwich conceded an equaliser on 90+7. Whilst that’s amusing in itself, I hope the officials rein in this silliness a bit. If they wanted to stamp out cheating, there’s other things they could address that has a bigger impact on the game. Like booking players for blatant professional fouls.
Quite honestly Extra time wise i thought the second half was similar to last week except Donacian was injured for about 3 minutes last week . FIFA instructions to EFL apparently is influencing Refs Who have been told to allow more physical contact ,maybe thats why Stoke got away with several tackles that would have been yellows last season . Although Morsy still got one for a tackle late on that was no worse but stopped them breaking forward . Added time wise today Donacian took the chance to take the Ref to task during our second goal celebrations regarding his yellow making the obvious point that he was not time wasteing just looking for someone to throw the ball too for similar time as Stoke players had been allowed . Perhaps that came into the Refs thinking as 4 minutes yesterday was a surprise as twice that would have been no surprise .
