Bournemouth match thread

Kluivert may have made a meal of it but Richards did tug his shirt to stop him breaking through our line, it's just the inconsistency with the other decisions. Why were we better with ten men? Bournemouth were so much better in possession first half, and would outnumber us pressing cleverly getting the ball back. So many sloppy passes and touches, I can see why JP is getting subbed, very ineffectual, not the usual hold up play. It took us 35 minutes to play well in possession rather than just waiting to break, when Sarr span and controlled the ball on his chest before driving at their defence and winning a free kick. We were much more intense second half, and we clearly have Villa on our minds. Kamada got good reviews v Newcastle and it looks like he's starting to find his A-game, much more composure and confidence in his play, I think part of the problem is the other players don't always read him and vice-versa - he tried to setp up Nketiah late on but passed straight at him, Nketiah wanted it either side of him so he could turn onto the ball but his lack of movement didn't show where he wanted the ball so Kamada played it to his feet, Nketiah showed disappointment but he didn't communicate at all and was static. Hopefully we'll rotate for Arsenal and not get battered, cos on current form we'll get mullahed by Villa - hopefully it's a one off cup game where we can surprise them. I'd be more confident if Villa had got past PSG.
 
Missed the red card to grab a beer and something to eat. Joke decision 😂. Despite the sending off it didn’t seem to deter us from changing our set up. Sat deep the entire game and was quite wasteful when we had chances to start counter attacks; often resorting to playing long balls to Mateta or simply struggling to get out our half with misplaced passes. For a 10 man performance, we were solid and compact in the second half and all in all a point is a decent result. I do think the small pitch at Selhurst probably helps us in times like this when our back is against the wall. Or maybe that’s an over exaggeration.

Watch the replays he did not tug his shirt, he, at worst, pulled his shoulder. If you think that warrants a booking there would be twenty every match. Perhaps you can explain why Scott and then Adam’s were not given second yellows? Don’t get me wrong we were poor before the red but the ref was appalling and not for the first time this season has done us over
 
Firstly, a dreadful advert for Premiership football and its overpaid "stars". Two teams safe in mid-table obscurity live to fight for another season.
Secondly, the ref. Incompetent or just plain bent? Refs who know they have messed up usually try to balance it up and this chump had ample opportunity, but opted not to? Bent.
Don’t forget he was the one who disallowed Eze free kick first game of season

Look who owns Bournemouth!!

No he did not. Have you watched it? Kluivert actually reaches out like a sprint relay runner to hold hands with Richards before flinging himself down, then running over to the ref.

Kluivert reaches out as he crosses Richards - does this look like running to you? He whips this hand back to grab him.

Richards is trying to avoid his flaling arm, but too late, Kluivert flips himself over.

He's not even on the break, it's still in our half ffs

Why does this kind of s*** go on? Because of s*** refs like this one who REWARD this shitty behaviour.

But here's Scott's non yellow

And Adam's non-yellow


I've never seen this on Sky highlights before, making it all about the referee. It's inexcusable at this level.
 
Both Mark Clattenburg and I are of the opinion that a second 'Yellow' (Which of course results in a Red) should enter the realms of a possible VAR intervention.
Whether this would have overturned the decision against Richards is open to debate.

It's only open to debate if at least one of the refs for some bizarre reason can possibly think that it was worthy of a yellow, which it obviously was not. Ref is simply not up to the standard we require for the biggest league in the World, and anyone backing him should be sacked off too.

A relief to finally see that viscious shitbag Pedro red carded though, it's taken long enough. And why wasn't Welbeck carded for simulation like Nketiah was?

Interested to know why you think it’s up for debate. What part of that challenge in your opinion warranted a card in comparison to other challenges in similar 2nd card circumstances that didn’t receive any card whatsoever.

I don’t mind you supporting a referee, but an honest opinion is preferable to dodging the question on that decision.

I’ve looked at it many many times and the contact is minimal, the player dives and is nowhere near as cynical as the tackle on Sarr. Very poor refereeing on all counts in my opinion.

Whether VAR would have intervened is a matter of debate. Dependant on the criteria they would have been given for such an intervention.

The performance of today's referee is subject to a forensic examination.

Not really. It's such a clear case of guilt, the evidence so overwhelming that forensics aren't required because only a t*** would think the accused is innocent.
 
Wow - How is that allowed to happen ?
I thought all referees had to declare their current & former footballing clubs allegiances to the authorities & were excluded from games where any potential conflict of interest might come into play - if a (former) Brighton season ticket holder doesn't come into a category to be excluded from Palace games then I struggle to understand the criteria that is being used to make that call.


If nothing else there should at least be a retrospective review on the basis of the Brentford decision (Eze Goal) & yesterdays debacle.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree, except the open to debate part. Absolutely no chance that would have been given as a second yellow. I watched the ref explaining to Hughes that he sent Richards off for tugging the shirt, well he clearly didn’t so the ref did not see the incident and clearly went by that cheat Kluivert reaction.

Isn’t it obvious what the criteria would be “ clear and obvious (ha ha) and this was clearly a wrong decision. Those forensic examination are a waste of time, if they were of any use, we would have no refs left ( maybe not a bad thing)
