[Albion] Really disappointed with Duffy

[Algernon]

Barely touched heads. Not one of his greatest hits. Mercy from Duffy.

 

[Sheebo]

Poor from Duffy but PVA was a typical palace cheating **** the way he went down then jumped up after the red vamping their fans up... it didn’t last long though.

 

[Caveman]

when the t shirts on sale

 

[DJ NOBO]

Quite impressive in its stupidity.
He’s just not a very bright boy

 

[Weststander]

I forgive him already.

All I care about is this derby win and Balogun is a great replacement to have.

 

[AZ Gull]

We now have two CBs for the next 3 games - he has let everyone down with that red card

We really don't. Ben White isn't just a figment of my imagination, he really exists. Stick him on the bench at Burnley (and the following two games), job done.

White is 18 days older than Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and has much more (and higher quality) experience than Wan-Bissaka did when he was given his debut last season, against Tottenham. In fact, 4 of his first 5 starts were against Spurs, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool - and he won Palace Player of the Month. I wish more people would have more faith in our young'uns.

Nows not the time for - correct - percentages. We will remember beating Palace with 10 men long after some of the more sterile games this season. Enjoy it for what it is - a fantastic evening where Duffys headbutt (in time it will be remembered as proper Glasgow) for the tactical sub and bundle that followed.

Haha this.

 

[Bakero]

Love these training ground corner routines!

but what did he react to?

only words.

but they work don't they!

i need those words

And words are all he has, he take your heart away

 

[Stat Brother]

Had we have lost, yes I would be disappointed! However good on him nutting the palace **** ! Hero in my opinion!

That's my point he didn't nut anybody, they had a footballers forehead touch.

I just don't expect or ever want to see that from him again.
He's an indistructable Oirish outhouse, he'd better do the next one properly.

 

[zefarelly]

Exactamundo!

Not the sharpest tool in the box, by a long way, stupid enough to react to the wind up. Even Zaha managed to contain himself enough to stay on for 90 minutes.

Quite impressive in its stupidity.
He’s just not a very bright boy

 

[clif26]

I didn’t actually see any contact of heads and had I been the ref. would’ve given the other bloke a yellow for diving.

i would give you a double thumbs up if i could!

oh,

 

[erkan]

Ain't nobody like Shane Duffy,
Makes me happy,
etc

NO problems tonight!!!!

 

[worthingseagull123]

What are you talking about? On another day, he costs us 3 points.

Completely spot on

 

[Wardy's twin]

Not sure if Shane is the sharpest mind BUT he has been great this season and everyone makes mistakes. It created an opportunity and Balogon took it (then lost it). Personally would prefer he had stayed on the pitch BUT i think his dismissal fired the team up and it was that which won the came.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Te whole incident had repercussions...we had Murray being tackled and injured...subsequently to be taken off and replaced by Andone (probably better suited with us at ten men) who subsequently scored and Duffys replacement also scoring....would we have won with 11?

 

[upthealbion1970]

Without Duffy getting the red when he did we wouldn’t have set the record for having 2 subs score in the 1st half

 

[NooBHA]

Absolutely disgraceful.

I have no doubt that he must have said something really seriously offensive to Duffy because Shane knew what he was doing. It wasn't a rash moment. He had time to think - He made up his mind he was going to do it and he didn't give a hoot about being sent off.

OK so it wasn't costly tonight but what it does do is show other teams that he can be wound up and that isn't good. It needs to get sorted and I have no doubt that it will get sorted but I would still love to find out what was said to him

 

[LVGull]

For him to get sent off for a 'footballers' headbutt.

Next time he'd better go full Yozzer Hughes or my man crush will be officially over.

If you are going to do it and get a red card, do it properly ffs.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I'm all for a headbutt in a game v Palace if their player gives it the big one.....don't you remember Gerry Ryan etc? Are you new? Have you been pacified by today's sterile society?

Weird reply. I can only assume you're just getting changed for a bout of illegal bare knuckle fighting
