Apart from being obviously delighted with the result, two incidents of interest (hopefully) to you referees!
1) Disputed/unclear offside. Ball breaks to Cardiff attacker in an offside position. The ball came to him after a challenge between a Cardiff & QPR player. On highlights that I've looked at several times its unclear if a) QPR player touches the ball and b) If he does, if it is 'deliberate' or does Cardiff player get their first and ball deflects off QPR player.
The interesting point, which we discussed in the Bournemouth v Arsenal thread is what the AR does. He 'allows' Cardiff player to score THEN raises his flag straight up in the air. So clearly, that IS the prescribed signal for 'We need to have a chat' even though communications system in place.
Luckily for us QPR fans, after a lengthy discussion, both decide there is enough doubt there to disallow the goal.
2) QPR attacker runs back from an offside position to play the ball in own half - offside given and Cardiff take fk in QPR half much to the anger of 90% of the crowd - I told as many I could but interesting that the man in the street has no idea about this subtle change!
