Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace match thread

From your tone I'm going to say no. Did I get it right?

Tone?? moi? 😇

Getting decisions against the big clubs is near impossible. Having goals ruled out for a newly-implemented rule, is low, even by Palace's previous experiences.

A point away at the world club champions can't be bad. And the performance was even more encouraging. 👍

Also have to look at that bench and feel worried.

Disappointing Edouard was given 10 minutes at the end, Mateta was dead on his feet.

You seem to have forgotten Henderson's hand ball in the Cup final, quickly.

What handball? 😁

This is true but why allow the kick to be taken in the first place?

In soccer, when a defensive wall of at least three players is formed during a free kick, attacking players must stand at least one meter away from the wall until the ball is in play. If an attacker encroaches within that meter, an indirect free kick is awarded to the defending team, according to TheFA.com. This rule was implemented to prevent disruptions and delays caused by attackers standing too close to the wall, according to The IFAB.

So Teddy, I'm obviously out of touch, are you saying this is a new rule this season? I don't remember anything like this before. I know the lawmakers wanted to cut out the cut and thrust in the penalty area when a corner is taken, but this free kick thing is a mystery to me.

 

[Willo]

Delighted with the point.
We were well-organised, resilient and defended admirably but posed little threat in the final third.

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

A rule never used before cost us a goal but over all a good performance, just lacking up front a bit.

Breaking news. We are a very good side.

The problem. We need a much stronger bench.

The only upside if Eze leaves is that we might just be able to add two or three players who give us more depth.
Ideally he stays, and we still sign two or three, money allowing.

Why was Eze's free-kick disallowed against Chelsea?

Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze thought he had given his side the lead with a well struck free-kick within the opening 15 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

The rule was introduced in the 2019/20 season can't remember a single goal being dissallowed for breach of the rule 13.

It is not new it was introduced about 5 years ago.

No, it was introduced in 2019 - just not applied as far as anyone remembers.
Another rule under discussion is that if a goalkeeper saves a penalty and parries it back into play it becomes a goal kick with no rebound to follow up on.

Penalty rebounds could be outlawed under drastic new rules

REBOUNDS from penalties could be SCRAPPED by next year’s World Cup finals. And VAR checks for second yellow cards and corners could also be brought in as football lawmakers consider more radical ch…

Interestingly Clattenburg said that it’s a rule where VAR should not intervene but the final decision should be left left to the decision of the referee, if I got it right.

 

[DenTyler]

Is that on the table? Present it to the chair person.

You cushioned the blow with comment

2019 apparently

Eze doesn’t get a lot of luck on the opening days of the season in west London

 

[PatrickA]

It is not new it was introduced about 5 years ago.

But how many times has it been used before?
I watch a LOT of football and never recall seeing it applied before.
Perhaps it only applies if you're playing the World Champions.

Leaving aside my obvious bias, is anybody else fed up of VAR looking for reasons to disallow goals.

I recall Danny Blanchflower opining that football was 'about the glory.'
These days he might say it's 'about the VAR.'

 

[BromleyMonkey]

Interestingly Clattenburg said that it’s a rule where VAR should not intervene but the final decision should be left left to the decision of the referee , if I got it right.

In that case, we definitely had no chance!!

They’ve plastered it everywhere. The big block of flats or office block in the background had ‘world champions’ in massive letters painted on it 😂😂😂😂
