[Albion] Crystal Palace vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[vagabond]

Well played Burn

 

[Gun shot]

Still think we can possibly even win but - I said this morning - I would take a point.

 

[R. Slicker]

This ref is shocking, very one sided

He did seem to make a meal of giving it the penalty.

 

[London Irish]

FFS if that was a penalty than we may all just as well pack up and start watching basket ball!!

You see them given. If the arms are all over a player and the play acting is choreographed well, it will be a penalty

 

[AmexRuislip]

Goals change games. CP were awful until the pen.

Thats always been the story recently against them, we have a lot of the possession, and are about as menacing up front as a kitten knocking on a door.
We need to finish what was started from the back.
They get an innocuous penalty and they're heads are up.
We shy away.

 

[Dick Head]

Is this Groundhog Day?

 

[DJ NOBO]

He obviously was touching him, but touching someone isn't a foul.

There is absolutely no way there was sufficient contact/holding to warrant a foul, despite the palace falling over.

Of course there wasn’t much contact . But if you use your arms like that, you are asking for trouble.
Inexperience on lampteys part. He got succoured in by typical Palace tactics

Give over, so blatantly backed into him and fell over. Laughable decision, and even more laughable that it wasn't overturned. Football is ruined at the moment, ridiculous decisions in nearly every game

 

[Mike Small]

Palace too wise for us. Tactical fouls, time wasting, flat back 4 against a lack of forward players. Referee is a disgrace but what’s new. Maupay started very poorly. Our cross field balls are poor. Not that there is much to be gained but Dunk seems pretty useless when talking to a ref. No pressure applied. Football aye.

 

[Razzoo]

Claw one back before HT and we will be ok.

 

[Gabbafella]

This is so damned frustrating to watch.

 

[The Wizard]

This is just classic Palace, get a lucky penalty then park the bus and play act for the rest of the game

 

[Steve Foster]

Would have taken a draw before the game started - definitely will now

And no-one holds the decking jokers to account. Decisions costing clubs millions of pounds

For all our decent play still yet to test the Palace keeper.

 

[kevo]

So the Connolly pen decision against Man U was overturned and this one wasn't? Absolutely laughable.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Palace have grown massively in confidence since the penalty.
They are already settling for a 1-0 win. They suddenly look very solid in defence, swarming all over us to deny space.
We need a moment of magic.

Touch a Palace player and they fall down. They’re like tenpins! Ref falls for it every single time.

Maupay’s having a stinker so far. Decent passes bouncing off him.

I’m so ****ing seething with the constant injustice we end up on the end of.

Just like players, underperforming refs should be subbed during games.

If not, their names and addresses should be made public like in the old days and we’re allowed to go round their house and ask for an explanation. That would focus their minds.

What with Project Big Bollocks this week and VAR ruining the game, I don’t think I’ve ever felt like walking away from this so called sport more than I do now. Change is needed and I’d like to see it begin with the games leaders and power magnets lined up and culled soviet style.
