Exactly!

Why wasn't that a penalty then?

Already given them a red....

I must say I like Propper - with a bit more time on the ball than he's had before, he looks as though he fits in our style very well.

Crystal Palace 0-2 Swansea
It's all gone a bit quiet at Selhurst Park. Even that particularly vocal corner in the Holmesdale end.

Piffle!

He's shite based on 2 games.

Come on Brighton

 

[Mackenzie]

Must be nearly time to unleash Iz.

Why wasn't that a penalty then?

The commentary says it's because it was a high boot without connection. If there was connection, it would have been a penalty.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Shame about the failed medical, sounds like the perfect game to make a debut.

Loving the text commentary from the Boreham Wood Times

Why wasn't that a penalty then?

Unlike a direct free kick an offence that is punishable by an indirect free kick outside of the box will still result in an indirect free kick if the offence is committed inside the box.

 

[Withdeanseagull]

I thought he had a decent game against Leicester, however he was poor against Man City but it was his first ever EPL game against a top side.

 

[PTC Gull]

Why wasn't that a penalty then?

Already given them a red....

According to commentary on NBCS, the ref was not sure there was boot on head contact. Hence the indirect free kick.

I have this horrible feeling we're gonna get caught out on the break late in the match

 

[Diablo]

1/2 hour to go...we should win this against ten men....three points from three games would be an ok start to our season.

Missed too many chances , always a kick in the teeth when this happens

 

[GT49er]

I'm just starting to worry a bit about whether this is one of those days when just nothing goes in.....................




Still, a point would be better than conceding to a late sucker punch.
