HT

Sounds like we needed it.

[Toronto Villa]

Thank fuck we got to HT unscathed

And another booking for a nothing tackle compared to McCarther's in the opening stages.

And their lads blatent shirt pull on McGinn.

Every foul = yellow card to us.

Pretty much. Palace do one and they don't even get a lecture.

Happy with half time. Need to have a sit down and work out how we can get more fluency in our play once we cross the halfway line.

How is the officiating so poor in this league?

Luiz and Taylor received yellows for their first fouls. Meanwhile, SJM has his shirt yanked 5 yards outside the box and nothing..?! Taylor gets stomped late and nothing..?!

[Edvard Remberg]

All dirty play from Palace,  0 yellow

[curiousorange]

Not having Sky, I have to rely on highlights, but does Jack do much dribbling into the area in the Prem? Seems like he sits and ticks things over and leaves the dribbling to the wingers.

Four bookings almost worth a goal to Palace for second half

[Bad English]

Thanks to the three who messaged me.

Crap game, crap ref.  We need to fucking get ourselves together.

Kevin Friend has always been an utter wanker

[ChicagoLion]

PM welcome

[CJ]

Kevin Friend should have his own entry in the Thesaurus as a synonym for blatant and unashamed bias.  As I said earlier - it's not just today - there was a game against Chelsea a few years back and the decisions for Chelsea and against us were just outrageous. I've had his card marked ever since

Luiz, trez and mings poor so far. Giving the ball away too easily. Get nothing off the ref thoigh
