Crystal Palace v Aston Villa post match thread

Should the goal have stood?

Why can’t VAR just allow the goal now, 1-1. Everyone’s fairly treated?

We're not stopping up at this rate.

Far too naive. You cant lose away at the likes of Palace with their awful home form or at home to the likes of Bournemouth and stay up.

Midfield far too deep against a side with XI behind the ball. Trezuguet an absolute moron. He's given the referee no option with both.

Friend had no consistency. How Zaha wasnt booked for anyone of his fouls I dont know.

Absolutely everything they created came from us giving the ball up so cheaply.

I dont want to see Trezuguet anywhere near this squad for a month or two, the absolute fool.

Kicked off at the end. I was directly inline with Jack and I didnt see him dive. He was muscled over, doesnt appeal and the referee blows up. No VAR check announced.

Very poor today. Poor start to the season. Sadly my fears are being realised. We're not up to it in this league.

Should the goal have stood?

Yes 100%.

We'll learn from this. I hope the sentence "We'll learn from this." is not going to become a familiar feature of post-match discussions.

This is exam time.

And Trezeguet needs a few words, really stupid second challenge.

If you were Dean Smith and the way that knobhead of a referee was shaping up first half, you'd say don't give him any excuse at the interval.

Gormless play - or a winger's challenge - if you want to be generous.

Is that Hourihane with the outstretched arms looking for the penalty straight-away? I wonder if Friend thought he was being ''conned'' by a hopeful penalty appeal, and then he's made a split-second decision to chalk the goal off as it goes in. Fucking dismal officiating though.

[TonyD]

Should the goal have stood?

Yes 100%.

So why didn’t VAR give it?

[BoVillan esq]

Should the goal have stood?

Yes 100%.

Absolutely 100%

It's gonna be a very long season .....dropping points to Bournemouth now Palace isn't what I was expecting
I know they are "established premier league clubs" but if we want to stay up we Need points against such sides.
Poor refereeing aside we need to be creating more chances against teams like Palace.

Fuck me, just see a replay. What the fuck is the referee doing the ******?!

[Villafirst]

This League is unforgiving but the Ref today? A joke! We simply need to grind out more results. But down to 10 men we certain7ly made it hard for ourselves.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm really disappointed with how we've set up each league game so far, I wasn't expecting out and out gung ho insanity but I was expecting us to look like we wanted to do more than try and nick games 1-0.

[Toronto Villa]

Should the goal have stood?

Yes 100%.

So why didn’t VAR give it?

I imagine the cock ref had something to do with that. Either he calls for a VAR review or he gets prompted for it and he doesn’t go to it. VAR is there to assist the ref in making decisions.

We are now 18th having just played some of the worst "Premier League" football I've seen in a while. I honestly think we are in big trouble.

And out they crawl.
