We may well do but if we miss out by a point or two then, so far, the 2nd half horror show at Bournemouth or the failure to beat 10 man Brumby including missing a pen would be just as culpable.
Agree, unless you miss out on something after winning every other game, it’s hard to justify pointing at poor performance from a referee in one game. It could also be argued that we didn’t create that many decent opportunities in that half, anyway.
If we miss out narrowly then if we are really honest we should actually be massively pleased with how close we came !
If Paunovic does manage to take a team that had looked more like relegation contenders than promotion chasers for several seasons and without spending any money , and with a horrendous injury list, got them to the point where we can even think one refereeing performance ‘cost’ us then that would be quite incredible.
Disappointing, but pretty impressive.

SCIAGNamelessbcubed I’m seeing this -
We didn’t deserve to win because we didn’t create enough chances
Yes we did we should have had 4 penalties
Penalties given or not aren’t chances
Yes they are because without the foul we would have scored
FWIW I think we did more than enough to win and most independent observers think we should have had at least 2 penalties, maybe more.
So we can rightly feel robbed and justified in pointing to this game and that ref for our failure to get promoted !!
The 4th point is the weak one.
As I’ve said I reckon in general many penalties are given for things that weren’t chances. How that works for the 4 in question I don’t know.
I’ll blame Joao if we miss out by a point, even if he scores 30 goals. That missed pen against Birmingham was unforgivable....
That’s the pertinent thing though isn’t it?
The handball is almost as clear cut as you can get, I almost think the punishment for those should be a penalty goal in the mould of rugby’s penalty tries. If they hadn’t cheated we would almost certain have scored, barring a wonder save.
Then there was a foul on Richards as he got in behind, a foul on Laurent in similar circumstances, and a kick on Baldock as he tried to control a high ball. I certainly don’t think we were likely to score from the Baldock one, and the Laurent one was middling, but Richards was one-on-one albeit from a narrow angle. We certainly created enough chances to score two goals only for the opposition’s cheating to cost us.

Yep just thinking the same. They are utter toss. That first half against us was clearly totally extraordinary
Reckon Karanka might be on his bike after this

Three goals all gifts too - why couldn't they play like that against us?

Still Rooney. I think he’ll probably get it full time now, he’s done pretty well so far.
