When Pele retired he became the face of erectile dysfunction, is Mr Tumble lining himself up to be the face of Durex. I can see the advert now -

Mr Tumble is strutting his stuff at a disco when a girl bumps into him, after picking himself up from the floor he rushes over to the bouncer at the door screaming "I need protection" to which the bounder hands him a pack of durex. "Here you go sir, use it wisely" say the bouncer as he points him back to the girl. Wide-eyed, Mr Tumble, starts clapping to the music as he heads back onto the dance floor, the pack of durex clasped in his hand. Unfortunately the girl turns out to be the disco managers daughter, so Mr Tumble gets kicked out.

Apparently he's claiming that he was applauding James Ward-Prowse for getting him sent off, not the ref. Looks like he's looking at the ref to me. Worth a go though, I suppose.


This still makes that excuse look the remotest possibility. If you watch the incident again and see the true perspective of where each person is, JWP is actually all but behind Zaha, as he stares directly at the ref, whilst continuing his sarcastic clapping.

If they do appeal / have appealed this at all (purely in order to chose which game he misses) then if the FA had any bolls at all, that impose further sanction for completely taking the piss.

That is so poor from the FA to have dealt with it in such a way as to make this possible - that Palace basically get to choose which game he misses. The incident happened 8 or 9 days ago. The hearing should have been held early enough so that any appeal could also have been convened prior to this next game. Cynical from Palace and incompetence from the FA.

That said, if they lose to WHU with Mr Tumble playing, and then get knocked out by Donny, with him missing, that would be most satisfying

We could possibly end up doing it with Florin to make him available for the FA Cup match v Derby and then start his inevitable suspension afterwards......?

We'd need to be able to delay it for over a week, for that to be possible!

It looks like: Accept the charge and miss Burnley / FLD / Leicester, or appeal late today, and miss FLD / Leicester / Huddersfield.

Given that the biggest worry is not having him about in the event of an injury to Murray (and we know Murray is fit for tomorrow) it looks best to get the ban out of the way as quick as possible. Delaying it so he can sit on the bench tomorrow, in order to not have him available for Hudds - and then finding Murray was injured - would be a bit daft.

This. Also possible they could extend the ban for frivolous appeal.

Agreed

Unlikely I would think.......but being a small club, could happen

Not bad, but the last word needed correcting.

But it is so perfect that's Palace's hero is such an insufferable gimp to everyone else.

I know it’s mean spirited of me but I must admit to a satanic chuckle whenever the subject of Wilf and his various disciplinary doings and weekly bleating on Social media etc is vaunted on talkshit. Even Motson can barely conceal his contempt for the Dulwich UBoat. Every sentence balanced...as it is...with “he’s a skilful player and Southampton we’re kicking seven shades of shit out of him all match but....”

Actually, I reckon it’s simply a case of the missing prepenultimate and anteprepenultimate words: “his head”

Think I'll start one of those online fund raising things. I reckon we could get the 10k to see him ok.

He scored a goal. You lot must be so proud. Has he caught up with Duffy yet?

Players in the best team outside the top 6 doing nothing to dispel the 'one man team' label.

Dibley's going wide shot is deflected in to secure a point.
