Neither of the incidents were penalties

Doesn't mean they can't give us one. Apparently 'it all events itself out'

i will agree the referee standard in prem is poor at best but we need to do more ourselfs

Warnock’s cheerleaders will tell you otherwise I expect.

We’re down.

What does 'Warnock's cheerleaders' mean?

Cue 'Dahboy' and his ilk but I thought the majority of supporters were behind him this season; or has that changed in 45 minutes?

As for "We're down", that's not the case, is it?

Luckily, only 1 - 0 down and all to play for before a massive game against nearest in the table Brighton, who are losing at the moment Brighton on Tuesday

Excuse us who haven't quite given up the ghost; we could be Huddersfield or Fulham and whilst there is a chance, there is hope...for some at least!

lets face it apart from brighton fulham palace games where do ppl see us with a real chance for points

FFS. Just seen the replays. Both pens next season. The first shot blocked by an arm. Was on target. Common sense days that's a pen. He's stopped a clear goal scoring opportunity.

The second scuffed a header on to his arm. Accidental. But anywhere else on pitch it's probably given.

Hoilett terrible miss

Much better half from City but they still trail...

A great ball over the top sees Zohore put in a decent cross only for Junior Hoilett to blaze it over the bar in all the space in the world!

A strange deflection then puts City in danger but a foul on Etheridge sees City get a free kick in the 6 yard box

I hate having a go at officials, it's not an easy job, but against Chelsea and now again vs Burnley, Cardiff City have been victims of absolutely disgraceful incompetence. And all Refs and @premierleague will care about is what Neil Warnock says

The lino flagged it why would ref over rule it if he didnt see it as he obviously didn't ? Fcking joke

Exactly. It's a pen all day. Definitely given if it's a top 6 team.

It was odd but we've seen that happen the other way in a game recently

VAR would certainly have put it as a penalty under current rules but but maybe they were in a huddle receiving instructions from Mike Riley in the absence of say VAR?

Substitution: Mendez-Laing on for Hoilett

Need to make couple more before 90 mins!

need 2 up top desperately now

An odd scramble sees Barnes take the ball past Etheridge but luckily some decent defensive work sees the ball go behind

Burnley fail to take advantage of the resulting corner

You got it...

Niasse on for Zohore and going to make himself a City hero...at last!

So angry. Quickblook on the BBC keown and Osman both say definitely a penalty.

Sven whay grounds did ref have for overturning lino? He didnt see it so could only go on linos word and he said pen? Only thing can think.of ref thought it was accidental thats why he didn't give it and used his decision not lino...

So true...

And the final substitution sees Bobby Reid replace Harry Arter, who sprints of the field

10 minutes to go and City need to throw everything they have at Burnley

well brighton 4-0 down warnock tuesday surely will stick 2 up top and go for it tuesday would love it if they went down

Manga caught out yet again in the corner trying to be clear the ball (he could have passed it to the keeper to clear) and gives the ball to Burnley, who then gain a free kick that results in nothing

You seem to have a problem with Manga, how about mentioning some of his good work rather than just picking him the slight mistakes he makes

another iffy desicion again

Corner for City...

Cleared by Burnley but the ball goes back in and possibly another handball, which isn't given

4 added minutes to go...

2-0 yes iffy desicions yet again but win or bust tuesday now

GOAL

Burnley 2 - 0 Cardiff City

It's what happens when you're pushing for a goal and doesn't really make a difference in reality

Burnley been very subdued but suddenly their support is getting chirpy!
