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

[One Teddy Maybank]

No bones about it, this is a very tough game now.

They will just soak all our possession up and look for the sucker punch. Exactly what I was afraid of if we didn’t score first.

On a positive note. Despite the disgusting officiating (again), we are clearly the better team. It’s up to us to carve them open. Also on a positive note, we have a terrific bench today. Lots of options.

Looking for Connolly, Mac and Alzate to come on in the second half.

Just get Trossard off absolutely pointless

It's just a flat experience. We are not cutting enough.

Bein Sports more or less accusing Palace of cheating. Says refs need to get control of the game. Questioning Why VAR didn’t overturn it

BBC site saying it wasn't a penalty.

Same on the half time talk on Bein Sport. Going further by saying it was outright cheating and the Palace player should have yellow carded.

Maupay has to use Lallana, as he is quality and taking up some great position.

The officials are just c£££s

Time for Potter to work his magic.

Watching this on Supersport who have Ian Wright summarizing even he says no pen and Batshauyi is cheating. Ref and VAR are a disgrace...

 

[Gabbafella]

I can only agree with this!! The man makes me want to strangle him everytime he opens his boring Gob!! That said I can't stand ANY pundits / co commentators!!

Oh and now that total pillock Graeme Sour-ness is spouting his dribble! not that i listen to him EVER!!!

Souness looks like his own voice makes him suicidal. He's so miserable, negative and boring. Even describing him is making me depressed.

ain’t that just the truth

Why am I so pi$$ed off when I (we all) knew EXACTLY what was going to happen?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

To give Man Utd decisions the ref may have missed? Connolly at Amex - 50/50 pen. Check at pitch side with against the rules influence from VAR team. Compare that to today’s - not even a monitor check. It’s a shambles.

100% this. It is farcical

3 pundits on Talk Sport said no penalty.

Roy saying this is the best Palace squad he's had and they have had one shot on target - the penalty

 

[Icy Gull]

We have looked absolutely fecking clueless in attack. Keep playing like this and we’ll go down 3-0. Really shit performance since the goal imo.

So slow in attack it’s painful to watch. Fully expect us to get hit in the break a few more times if we don’t get back into this quickly

Gutted at how ineffective we are at the moment

No penalty for me either

You obviously didn't read the "would you take a draw" thread... the optimism there was mind boggling

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

If only we could recruit and retain players of the calibre of ROI captain. Oh

 

[sydney]

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

optus sports commentary team reckoned not a penalty ....batshuyai has conned the ref.

No presence up front.
Pretty as always, but no product.

Yet Sky saying the ref had "no choice" but to award the penalty. What a crock of s**t. I REALLY hate Sky Sports.
