Crystal Palace v Aston Villa post match thread

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Final Score unanimous that it was a goal and asking where the VAR was to correct the wrong decision.

Gary Lineker also tweeted it was a terrible decision so we will be getting some coverage on MOTD tonight if just for that decision.

Beat me to it!
If Jack was wrongly booked, can that be scrubbed?

Corruption.

Oh for fuck's sake.  He's shit, we all know he's shit, he's always been shit, but that's all he is.

Fair enough, this must be our fault somehow

It's our fault we were very poor yes.  There's nothing we can do about him.  Out of interest, who do you think is paying him off to make these incorrect decisions?

What the actual fuck. Why have I watched it back. Four and a half fucking hours now and all I'll have in my head is that ****** of a decision.

I remain rather puzzled about the point of VAR. This is a nailed-on example of when a ref could accept that there is a reason for the goal to stand.

I'm far more fucked off at VAR over the disallowed goal, Friend was incompetent all game so no surprise he got that wrong as well, VAR is meant to be there to fix things when a ref is shit/has a bad game/makes a genuine mistake.

It is generally accepted that to integrate more than three  signings into a settled team is a tall order. We were forced into the mass signings by circumstance but with that many new faces and a manager inexperienced at this level we have a mountain to climb.

The club did a fantastic marketing job this summer with the signings and season ticket sales the key will be keeping all those new found ticket holders on side during what will be a very difficult season.

I just hope they stay onside and don't take out  their disappointed expectations on the team. I fear it will be a long season.

[PeterWithe]

Indeed, if it can’t fix the most blatant mistake I’ve ever seen, then it really isn’t worth the delays etc. Fuck it off.

Anybody know if this ref has any gambling habits or outstanding debts he can no longer service.

Under the FAs ridiculous rules, a yellow card cannot be challenged.

Danny Murphy will just love this!

Did the ref blow his whistle for the free kick against Grealish before the goal was scored? If so, presumably VAR couldn't overturn it. If not, then failing to go to VAR appears ridiculous.

[ktvillan]

Although we were generally poor today we surely have to register a protest somewhere about that ref.  He was quite shockingly biased, and if he wanted to book Grealish for diving there was still no need to call back the goal.   Shocking refereeing that really makes me wonder about corruption in the game.

[Risso]

After telling everybody all summer that we’re not doing a Fulham, it seems we might be after all.

[wince]

Did the ref blow the whistle before Lansbury scored?

3 points away from 6th- some people need to get a reality check. This is a side that is still coming together but a team that is unified and will improve.
