What was the game like it, missed the commentary, the sending off, didn't look that bad, bald ref making decisions again :(

Nothing wrong with the goal. Hopefully that poor decision it doesn't cost us in the long run. Still, I expected us to struggle today and overall happy with a point. We're closer to first, and a bigger gap on third.

Objectively, that's never a foul. Ref got conned.

Because when looking at it objectively, climbing on an opponent's back and holding him down is a foul.

You're all mad. It was a clear foul. The reaction from the Brighton players says it all!

One of those a different ref would of allowed it , swings and roundabouts , happy those below us failed to capitalize which softens the disappointment a bit .

If someone is moving forward and jumps for a header, and the person in front of them stops moving and deliberately falls to the ground when they feel contact, that shouldn't be a foul. Duffy wasn't putting his hands on his shoulders to gain height, he just played the ball.

That's where I disagree, as I thought Duffy used his hands to climb on the defenders back. Yes it's soft for the Cardiff defender to go down as he was holding his ground, but there was certainly contact from Duffy before and as he jumped. I've watched the video back twice now, and I still can't see any Brighton players complaining about the decision?

But Duffy's hands didn't even go on his shoulders did they?

Yes, but contact is allowed.

The game carried on, what can you do?

Not a foul for me - they were both running to get to the place where the ball would come down to be headed, and the defender slowed down to block Duffy, who inevitably ran into the back of him as he jumped.
If that was the swings, though, I guess the roundabout was Bong getting the second yellow before the red came out - that could easily have been a straight red.

That's a foul for me. Still, all in all sounds a fair result - happy enough with that.

This is what drives me CRAZYYYYY about football! Duffy didn't foul him, he know all day long he wanted a free kick by falling to the ground and throwing his arms up.

Defender played the player not the ball. No conviction, if he had stood his ground Duffy would have gone over him so he played the minimal contact and went down like a pro.

50/50 for me. I'm sure some refs would've allowed the goal. It certainly doesn't look clear cut from that footage.

And Bong's challenge could easily have been a straight red.
