Congrats Palace

Sometimes you've got to be man enough to give credit when it's due. Yes they beat 10 men and yes they did so with a right back playing left back then centre half, yes their penalties were not penalties & should not have been given. However they won and look a very good side - Bolasie was outstanding and even outshone Zaha & we couldn't cope with Murray. So time to man up, congratulate them & be gracious in defeat.

 

[PsychoPaul]

Phil, you are man enough to admit it, you are right about Bolasie as well, my favorite player & compliments Zaha wonderfully but as to the penalties they were & if they were given to Brighton you would think the same. Still we have another game this season yet & I hope I will be able to get tickets for it.

 

[Surrey Phil]

1st penalty was a clear dive & 2nd soft at best. No matter you still won so as said before well done.

Just saw them again on FLS, 2nd Murray was barged over so how is that not a penalty? 1st was a bit soft I guess but there was contact. We only lost one home game, the 1st one, I guess the return game will be a different matter & many a game before then...

 

[jimhigham]

Fair play. We were well beaten. It was a red card and they caused us no end of problems. Of course it might have been different if it was eleven against eleven but we'll never know will we? From the match that actually occurred we were beaten all ends up. Breaks my heart to say it but facts are facts.

The only contact for 1st pen was after Murray went down - it was a dive.

I didn't record FLS so I can't argue with that yet, still would it have made any difference. I must say I did like your banner, quite funny. It is a shame your lads went quiet thou as you started out very well, you even got our 'family stand' going giving it back, which is normally dead quiet so well done there...

I don't see any menaingful analysis possible of a game that was 10 v 11 for 83 minutes, sorry.

Palace may or may not be a great team this season (they have surprised me, and have more good players than Zaha for sure), but this isn't the match to judge that, is it?

But it's not like Brighton were 3-0 down when the red card came out. An already very hard task became mission impossible in that moment.

However it's not like it was a dodgy decision, it was Dunk's fault that we lost the game, his error, and the credit I give Palace players is that they kept their composure, didn't make such stupid errors in a big-game atmosphere, and then played very well with what was left facing them.

Weren't you the fella that was spouting off that the you would rather lose on against Bolton and Bristol City and beat Palace at all costs? Has today mellowed your thoughts? Were you there? I think 11 v 11 wold have been different picture,

 

[Brian Fantana]

Even without the red card and the penalty decisions, we were nowhere near good enough to get anything from that game.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Palace deserve credit not only for today but for being able to put in another good performance in a derby match. In 4 Championship seasons we've saved our worst performance of the season for Palace in 3 of them

Yes did go obviously. Yes was desperate to win at all costs obviously. Yes we lost so I am giving credit to the opposition where due. Didn't realise being gracious & manning up was a hanging offence!

No



Sorry that's going to far lol.

 

[The Gem]

When you come from the old school you never congratulate those pikey b4stards

Impossible to know.

How can you say that from seeing 6 minutes of 11v11?

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

We made a very shaky start, but who knows, with 11 men we may have grown into the game, as it was we'll never know and in the end we were thoroughly outplayed and out battled

Jeez, was the red card after only seven minutes? I didn't know that. Yeah, it was pretty much going to be an uphill struggle after that and in that case I'm surprised it wasn't 7-0 with the 'brilliant' Zaha scoring four. Don't think 'congratulations' is quite the right word; you don't really give out medals for shooting fish in a barrel.
