[Football] Palace vs Everton FA Cup tonight at 8 PM

[Deadly Danson]

I'm not being a contrarian (for a change) it's a shite decision and wouldn't have been given without VAR.

But the boot was inexplicably above the ball and (hardly any) contact was made.

The very type of decision that would have had Roy, palace fans, and pundits screaming for VAR because the referee needs help.

It simply shouldn't have been given WITH VAR. It doesn't fit with the criteria they use. I just don't understand how these idiots in the VAR studio can go through the criteria and still decide its a red. That's without everyone who's ever watched football already knowing it shouldn't be a red. One of the very worst decisions.

Listening to the post match stuff now in the studio….its no red card

A strange choice for TV.

Perhaps Palace are jealous of our Thursday nights?

Of course. Every single person bar Pawson and Salisbury can see its not a red. I wish the ref on the field had told his mates to bugger off and stuck with his decision.

It'll be a sell out. Tickets £5.

That's at least £10 more than they were worth.

Is it another case of not seeing the football common sense ‘wood for the trees’? Micro analysis in slow mo repeats at every angle, looking to see if a footballer was ‘endangered’. Whereas in real time at real speed, it was a nothing incident.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

That was a good Championship style, 1980s first division style clash.

Pluck.

Both managers would have liked the tactics and how well their respective teams carried out the instructions. Then those watching I can only think of one person who would have been thrilled to watch such clever game play, a certain Mr Moyes

If fitted the criteria for VAR, studs up contact.

Retro fitting multi angle, multi decision makers, onto super slo mo footage doesn't fit with football, for exactly this kind of decision.

 

[Sheebo]

Anyone think Roy is secretly thinking to himself he’ll take the point?

 

[Jim in the West]

Oh well…I guess that means no mid-season break for Palace…?

No it didn't. It wasn't excessive, it wasn't dangerous and he wasn't out of control. Dermot Gallagher has been banging on about the criteria all season and I'd be willing to bet an apology will be incoming from Howard Webb shortly.

He’ll be on a high tonight, so Maude will claim another headache.

Every cloud … some much needed replay monies for the £150m main stand.

VAR is unfortunately here to stay but the point of the on field referee being sent to a screen to assess something a 'top quality' referee on VAR is what exactly?
Mr VAR ref has looked at many angles apparently so why would Mr on field go against what is clearly Mr VAR saying the decision needs changing. Imagine the uproar that would cause. The screen check is a complete waste of time.

If they had the balls to go against the recommendation then that's never given as a red. I'd have paid out a lot of £18.00 fines to the mid Sussex FA back in the day if that's a a red.

We're not arguing I do agree but as said, it was there to be looked and that's when it all goes to shit.

Oh don’t worry about that, from everything I’ve read and understood about the situation Steve Parish has ringworm.

 

[amexer]

What it needs is for both managers to say in post match interview that it was a crap decision

 

[jackanada]

Well I quite like that result. Though not having time for Everton or Palace I didn't watch the game and watched The Predator.

I think that makes you a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus - like me

Talksport properly laying into VAR at the moment.
