Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Rigadon]

We don’t deserve to be trailing here.

Palace should be 3 up!

2/10

[PaulWinch again]

We don’t deserve to be trailing here.

We don’t.  Unai’s plan was working

No it wasn’t we went behind and we could be three down. We then had a goal disallowed correctly, but annoyingly. The plan is only working if we intended to go behind.

[PeterWithesShin]

We absolutely deserve to be losing. We had one legal shot in that half.

[Brazilian Villain]

The fact that the lines are drawn in Palace colours shows the clear bias at work.

*It was marginally offside.

[cdbearsfan]

We have about two hundred million quid's worth of attacking talent on the bench. We can still win this.

[jwarry]

We don’t deserve to be trailing here.

We should be trailing by more

How? They has three opportunities, one they scored from which wasn’t a corner and if our goal was offside so was theirs.  We controlled the game for must of that half.  Oh and they are running a tightrope on a sending off

[IFWaters]

It's not a clear and obvious error is it? In cricket they have umpires call where it's borderline and they stay with original decision. Any player will play on the shoulder because that's what you've learnt all your life but basically if you're half a step out of synch with the defender it's offside. It's total fucking bollocks. Basically teams have to relearn how to score.

Clear and obvious errors isint used for offside decisions though.

Ok thanks. It's still a pair of ****** in a cupboard near Burton on Trent ruining my evening though

[Beard82]

Same as every game this season we look good but we give them a soft goal. We then huff and puff and hope we have enough to get it back

[PaulWinch again]

We absolutely deserve to be losing. We had one legal shot in that half.

Yep as soon as Palace upped they were much more threatening. Again we find ourselves battling to rescue a game.

[Nev]

Use the lines for one, use the lines for all otherwise there is doubt and accusations of  impropriety.

[PeterWithesShin]

Bailey on

[cdbearsfan]

Bailey on for Garcia. Not sure if Bogarde or Konsa at right back.

No it wasn’t the guy who headed theirs was not off.

[caster troy]

Oh great, all that firepower on the bench and it's Bailey coming on.

[cdbearsfan]

If he plays like he has done lately, that could work.
