Just been watching it online (never actually watched it before as I was a bit young to be there at the time). Is it me or does that whole game look a bit...suspicious??
Not the penalty decisions, as all of Palace's (disappointingly) appear to be legitimate calls, more the fact that our players keep making utterly ridiculous and completely unnecessary challenges in the box. Then there's a pointless handball with no Palace player near by Keith Dublin or Ian Chapman. The only really dodgy looking penalty decision is the one Alan Curbishley scored for us- can't see in a million years why that was awarded, can only assume Mr Morton was in on it You've got Wendy Wilkins flying in with a late tackle and getting booked, Mike Trusson getting sent off for another stupid foul...were our players all pissed that day??
Seriously, if I was watching that game between two Italian teams, I'd swear blind there was something bent about it. Instead, I shall just put it down to the Albion's own lovable incompetence. Sorry if it's sacrilege to say it
