QPR 2 Cardiff City 1 **Match Thread**

[Fraggy]

The ball hit our player on the way through to an offside Hoilett, the question is who played the ball through and it was clearly them which makes it offside, I think he got the PK all wrong but he got this right thankfully!

Exactly. It was a deflection of a defender and therefore offside.
Luck doesn't come into it; if our defender tried to play the ball, then it would if been onside.
As for the pen. Not in a million years.

So happy with today's result! After a pitiful performance against Millwall I really didn't hold much hope. Smyth was so good today! Considering how big some of the Cardiff defenders were compared to Smyth I though he was really brave, played with confidence and good awareness which showed in his off ball movement. Really pleased he got the winner and what a goal it was!

I think we play much better against the top sides and it goes to show how close this league is and how unpredictable it can be...Millwall and Cardiff both bang average, but Cardiff clearly better than Millwall yet we lose to Millwall and beat Cardiff?!

I wasn't at the game NOR did I see ot live on stream but just watched extended highlights, firstly I will say we deserved to win ,Smyth played great and (with a slight deflection)got his deserved goal ,their penalty was soft BUT and this is a big but,their disallowed goal should have stood,we got a large slice of luck and as iv been saying,what comes around goes around,ref decisions have gone against us recently but today it really went out way with that decision. But it was still a richly deserved win

Youve also been saying all week we are a certainty for a relegation battle!

judging from the replays its hard to tell if scowen hit the ball to hoilett or if it was the cardiff player, tbh for me personally it looks like it was scowen who hit it to hoilett although my dad reckons it was the cardiff player

Always agree with Dad!

Was comfortably offside from my vantage point in ground

[Tarbie]

Scowen appears to have played hoilet onside,if it have happened to us there would have been uploar on this board and Holloway would have been dancing on the spot scratchin his noice in anger

Not how I saw it mate. Haven't had a good look at the replays though.

Why should the goal have stood?

The Cardiff player played the ball, even though it also caught a bit of the defenders boot. The fact that the attacking player played the ball means that Hoilett was offside, and he was by a good yard I think.

Don't think their was anything lucky at all about today. Good performance all round, and if anyone had grounds to complain about the ref it was us.

Hughes may be available soon, rested his players against the Scum but still lost against the Geordies.

Anyone catch Hughes' press conference? Reporter was querying why he rested players against Chelsea then lost at home today. He got the hump and walked out!

[Tarbie]

Just took quick look on a Cardiff forum and Warnock is under some serious pressure. Plenty saying get shot and he’s no good. I’m shocked reading some of the views

Oh Warnock reckons they were robbed and should have won

Madness really, ain't it? 4 losses on the bounce ain't good, but they have a load of injuries don't they?

As for them being robbed, he's always been like that hasn't he? Only ever sees his point of view.
