In my view the sending off of the goalkeeper and the penalty robbed us of a win and we did well to finish with a draw!!
When are FIFA going to end these type of decisions that when played back are clearly wrong?

It was rather harsh, replays suggeted it hit him on the chest first and then hit the underneath of his right arm. To be honest, I think Mark Bunn made it difficult for himslef by raising his arms in the manner he did.

Sayig that though, there has been no end of inconsistant hand ball decisions this season where ball to hand / hand to ball has almost lost it's distinctions. Pundits claim one event as intentional and then the next as unintentional dispite both being ideintical..

Having watched the match last night on Match of the Day I could'nt help but feel that it would have been a draw if not for (again) some decisions against Norwich by the referee and linesman around an offside and penalty (which Mark Bunn nearly saved !).
Norwich deserve some good luck !

I'm not sure whether Arsenal would have scored at all if they had not been given the penalty. They were losing 1-0 at home in the closing stages. Arsenal have developed an amazing 'give up and go home' attitude under Wenger. When the going gets tough, the players just give up, knowing Wenger will just make excuses for them and it doesn't matter whether they win or not. The aims are only fourth place each season after all...

I was at this match at Carrow Road on Saturday which started well with Robert Snodgrass creating some excellent crosses. Then Villas Gabriel Agboniahors saw an opportunity and sliced through Norwich's defence and hit a 25 yard shot which Mark Bunn could not save.
When Grant Holt equalised through a penalty, the Norwich fans were singing and chanting "come on you yellows" and the atmosphere was alive.
Then some five minutes or so from the end to all our horror, Agboniahor caught Norwich's defence napping and bang ,goal number 2 !
I left the stadium downhearted and just hope that Norwich can win against West Brom on May 12th as relegation stares us in the face !
