Of course a new ref for a Palace game. Anyway we march on against spam.
Didn’t realise it was the first premier league game for that ref. Well done whoever gave him a live Sunday game on sky.
Shame it wasn’t his last but explains a lot. Nowhere near a prem ref.
Well, isn't consistency in refereeing what we have all been crying out for? 🤔It wasnt, the reffed us last season in the Premier, he was crap then as well.
Has anyone seen an official picture of the Edouard offside yet?
Feels more than strange this hasn’t been made available? (Happy to pipe down if it has!)
Nope , That in itself speaks volumes.Has anyone seen an official picture of the Edouard offside yet?

Is it too early for me to have a panic about our prospects this season? (I don't like that it says I'm a new member... I just haven't posted for a while!)Just rubbish!
I think you're right, Clyne is much better than Richards in that position. In my view Richards is not a Premier League player at all.I’ve seen a comment elsewhere that we looked strong down the right during our excellent run last season with Clyne , Munoz and Olise linking up very well.
This was missing today.
In that good spell Clyne even went on ‘underlapping’ as well as overlapping runs and Munoz looked comfortable with Clyne behind him as Clyne is experienced to cover the right back position when Munoz ventured forward.
I’m not sure Richards looks as comfortable in this position on the right side.
He was excellent on the left of a back 3 because Mitchell is far more defensively orientated than Munoz so the same defending out wide wasn’t expected of Richards.
Richards is the future (rather than Clyne) in team terms, but I think Clyne may be better suited to the right side of the back 3 position if we want to see the best of Munoz for the time being.
With respect, the referee was not making his Premier League debut, he refereed a clutch of PL games last campaign.
