Yup. No pen, even after VAR; his arm was in a natural position. Then, just to rub salt into the wound there wasn't even a VAR check on a handball they committed: unbelievable.
Adam's sending off was justified but the penalty claims were crucial, pivotal.

As I understand it, that consideration would affect the colour of card the defender might get, but it doesn't alter the rules of handball and it's hard to see how it could.

Agreed. Parish is the same man who was Chairman when we won the F.A. Cup in May. Glasner is merely an episode, glorious as it was for a while. Parish is the continuity. You can't 'vote him out', neither should he be. He's been a huge asset to Palace during his tenure. Of course, he gets things wrong, but he gets more right. He appointed Glasner for good (plenty of that until about eight games ago) and ill (2 points from the last 24).
We have really struggled in the third tier European competition. Has it been worth it? I'd suggest not. It's only worth taking part in if its won. Otherwise it's a distraction and has merely led to players being overworked and getting injured. That said, a home defeat to Larnica suggests that the manager doesn't have the sort of tactical flexibility that would help. The suggestion that Glasner might eschew tactical flexibility because he wants to make a point to the Board is alarming in the extreme, if true.
I think that Glasner should not be sacked. He got us into this mess and he can get us out of it. The manager's job is to do the best with what's available. Not to tell the Chairman what should be available. Get on with your job, man.

But 2 wins out of those 4 ( even if we lose the other 2) and that gives us 34 points and still another handful of games to play.

This puts me in mind of what was being said two years ago about the team, which, once the injury blight receded, achieved several impressive runs and won the FA Cup. I would though concede that Wharton and Munoz were a substantially more helpful response to the situation than what we are currently seeing.
We got one draw against Villa and one against Fulham. That’s it in the current run. As you rightly say if we were earning hard fought draws we could say the system isn’t at fault. We aren’t.
Of course players making errors and missing chances are a part of it. You are looking for an argument I’m not making there. But when you can’t win, draw or score I think it’s fair to say the system ain’t working.

I hear you but my point was more that the next 4 games are all against teams below us or just above us and are our best opportunity to put some increasing daylight between us and that bottom 3... 9 points from those games would be fantastic.
However I genuinely cant see it. We are a club in disarray whereas those below us are starting to pick points up, or showing some type of form.

We haven’t won in what amounts to nearly one third of a season.
I think it’s admiration I have for the optimistic, I certainly wouldn’t attack them for it, however I am personally blind as to where this optimism comes from.

If there was such a thing as a like for like replacement then City or Liverpool would have already signed him.

Ive given up trying to understand the rules anymore . When I used to play years ago everyone knew the score in what handball , offside , a foul was . Just as you get your head around whats what they bloody well change them again so they can add to the confusion .
I'm sure they do it on purpose so they can justify VAR
Now my stress levels have gone down a notch after the game Im thinking it was just a typical game v Chelsea . Always something against them that makes you feel like you have been done , and we was , good and proper

Who appointed him? So far his choices have been dire.

I simply cannot believe that the Referee was not instructed to go to the screen by VAR... It's as clear as anything and contact doesn't even need to be made for it to be violent conduct... Just the intent needs to be shown

To be fair to Sarr he probably didn't even realise what Neto had done . But the ref didn't think anything of it either and though there was obviously clear intent to 'leave something in there' as we used to say I don't think it was a sending off , maybe a caution at worse

As there are no RULES to Football, but, LAWS, you are correct in saying about the colour of the card, due to it being accidental, BUT, denying a goal scoring opportunity. The ball was going in, no matter how many different angles you look at.

By the letter of the law though it's a red card... Contact doesn't even need to be made just intent needs to be shown which clearly it was.
Like the embarrassing Sanchez who rolled around like a tw*t when he fell out of his area.
