Hull City head coach Tim Walter fumes at two refereeing decisions after Norwich City hammering

Hull City head coach Tim Walter fumes at two refereeing decisions after Norwich City hammering.

The Canaries’ impressive run of three games halted the Tigers’ winning streak.

Referee Tom Nield infuriated Tim Walter when he denied a goal by Joao Pedro on his Hull City debut, as the Tigers lost 4-0 against

Norwich City.

Pedro’s goal from an Abu Kamara cross late in the game gave City a three-goal lead at Carrow Road, and the German thought his strike

might have spurred a late rally.

Pedro was found to have used his arm to deflect the cross into the back of the net by referee Nield and his assistant. Walter, however,

saw the videos and expressed dissatisfaction with the decision, arguing that it was his shoulder and that the most recent handball

regulations should have allowed it.

Josh Sargent criticized the penalty against Ivor Pandur’s post, but Walter was as incensed at the decision to award a penalty against

Lewie Coyle, who was called for a handball for the second straight game.

“With the shoulder, it’s a goal for me,” the German said to Hull Live at Carrow Road. “I don’t know why, but the assistant winked on

the other side, and it’s a penalty.

“We didn’t win here, which isn’t an excuse, but it can get annoying occasionally. They deserved to win because, as I mentioned earlier,

they were more clinical than we were. You can feel good about yourself if you performed well on the field, but everyone else has to

make a choice and go home in a good attitude.”

Walter believed his team was in the game even though City was soundly defeated at Carrow Road and witnessed Norwich Sargent

hammer a penalty against the post following Coyle’s handball. The way his team gave up two goals in each half and failed to score one

themselves was down to a series of mistakes, according to him.

“First of all, congratulations to the opposition, they deserved to win, because we did too many easy mistakes,” stated Walter. We either

lost the ball or didn’t win the duels because, although we frequently had the ball, we lost it easy again, which allowed them to score.

Particularly in the offense, they displayed greater clinical behavior than we have.

We must take note of the fact that during the defense phase, they were more observant and direct. It’s not like the outcome (which is a

fair portrayal), to be honest; if someone watched the game, the outcome might also alter slightly. That’s the championship; it’s

extremely close, and a few missteps or poor choices could decide the outcome of the match.”
