Of course not but that level of scrutiny is how we got to the VAR world now.
I could of added 'that decision could cost West Ham millions of pounds - everyone could see it was handball, except the ref, we need technology'.

No, that's the new rule. The old rule stated their had to be intent on behalf of the player handling the ball

Silly old bat
That didn't stop Marcos Painter getting sent off at Leicester for a second yellow. He had his hands down by his side but the ball was kicked at his hand. Referees have always done what they want to do VAR or not.

We want a palace defeat. There is no conundrum

Not seen such Bravery!
17 straight palace defeats to send them down.
Draw. Keeps both of them catchable.

We’ll be nowhere near Arsenal once things play out
As unlikely as it seems, it would be great to finish above Palace in the Premier League.
As such: Up the Arse!
Boom. 1-0 the arse

Famous Last Words
The handball rule needs changing, even if we ignore yesterday’s decision.
We are now in a position where someone defending a scramble in the box from a corner would be better off purposefully blasting the ball at an opponents hand than trying to actually clear it. It’s a ludicrous situation.

The Famous Selhurst Atmosphere the media bang on about really isn't all that, is it.
50 ultras singing the same dirge for 5/10 minutes at a time and then switching to some other dirge. Thought the same every time I've watched them at home.
Also, Talksport half hour ago kept talking about selhurst being such a tough place to go, and then in the next breath almost saying palace are the lowest home goalscorers in the prem. I don't get the media love-in for selhurst?

What have they done with their "Anti Premier League Money" banners I wonder?
