Leroy Fer adamant controversial 'goal' should have stood as Norwich City are held by fellow strugglers Cardiff City Jones's solution was applauded by Mackay, who said he felt that "common sense had prevailed." Mackay, who added Fer's action lacked "respect" and "sportsmanship," declared himself "delighted" with his side's point after a difficult few weeks in south Wales. It is hardly surprising that the Cardiff manager has warned Craig Bellamy against rushing into management, telling the experienced striker "it can go wrong quickly." Just a few months ago, Mackay was toasting promotion to the Premier League and preparing to spend Vincent Tan's considerable transfer kitty, but his relationship with the club's Malaysian benefactor now appears paper-thin. Tan's stated aim of a top-four finish would not be shared by even the most optimistic Bluebird, though Norwich's pre-season ambition of a place in the top 10 is equally difficult to imagine given their current form. It is not only poor form which links these teams. Mackay was returning to a former club, as was his goalkeeper, Marshall. The Scottish stopper was the game's outstanding player and was largely responsible for Norwich's frustration. "I think David's been a bit hard done by this week when actually he didn't do anything wrong," said Mackay of last week's incident when Samuel Eto'o scored at Stamford Bridge. It was in the laws of the game and despite that he's taken a bit of criticism. I think today shows how calm he is in terms of brushing it off. Robert Snodgrass and Gary Hooper were both guilty of profligacy in front of goal for Hughton's side, though Hooper was also denied by a post. In the second half Norwich keeper John Ruddy why he is a genuine England alternative to Joe Hart.
