Injustices 25/26

[Norbury Old Git]

Agreed but I suspect Gillett hates to be told he was wrong. With regard to Spindles post, “ slightly going away from goal” wtf does that mean? Sarr would have reached the ball and if necessary would have cut in, it was most definitely a goal scoring opportunity.
Looking at Mateta’s first goal, the time it took to conclude it was inside was ridiculous, look at the lines, clearly onside.
The penalty was a foul but I agree with Shearer there has got to be consistency, the previous corner the ref warned the defender and he repeated the offence, his fault noone else’s

Don’t knock Gillett! He was on VAR in the Cup Final and kept Hendo on the pitch after the handball controversy. Same reason as yesterday.

It’s nice to see an Aussie referee and an American on VAR after all the biased northern referees we have been subjected to in recent years.

I thought the Sarr foul was a yellow and the Guehi foul was a penalty. I also think that this thread is ridiculous, for conspiracy theorists thinking that people at the top actually give enough of a f*ck about Palace to try and stop us cracking on.
The Europa cup thing was b*llocks , but we dust ourselves down and win the conference league instead, I’ll enjoy going to all the games, rather than sitting behind my computer moaning.
Any other team with a thread called ‘injustices 25/26’ id be thinking , what a sad , self important bunch of mugs.
Same as I do here.

DOGSO. Gillett ignored VAR which just never happens. Yet another first for Palace by our useless refs.
So although Sarr goes down easily, and we know he could've got to that ball and scored, or been clattered by the keeper for a penalty, Gillett agrees that there was contact because this wasn't the reason for the overturn, and Gillett also implies that Sarr would've reached the ball before the goalkeeper. Gillett said that it was because 1. his touch took him away from goal and 2. there was a covering defender. Let's deal with the defender first. You can see from the image that the defender is the wrong side of Mateta, but also has at least 15 yards to make up. So he has to get around JP first, and if he does then JP is open on the penalty spot to receive the ball.
Going away from goal? Look at the maths Gillett you moron.

More likely is that Sarr just gets to the ball for a shot - the very definition of a GOAL SCORING OPPORTUNITY, or is brought down by the keeper for a penalty, who, by the way, hadn;t moved off his line by that point.

The penalty was a good call, Ariola implied cheating by saying that VAR knew it wasn't a penalty but decided not to intervene because they'd be ignored. That makes no sense because that just means VAR also thought it was a penalty. Here's a picture of the penalty incident, Bournemouth defenders in red and white

Very similar position in the Cup final with Henderson and Haaland, same outcome deemed to be going away from goal. You win some, you lose some but a consistent outcome.

Why? It's a football fan site. There's nothing more boring than people who lecture about how they are above the tribal banter and all that. They are types for the Stephensons lounge, wearing a suit and tie to the game.

I'd rather not go.

He actually came on this thread to tell everyone too.

Haaland never touched the ball so was never in control of it, so it's different rules applying to that.

Yep, football has a place for the passions and bias.

People can be egalitarians about football if they want to be.....but moaning at fans for seeing the game via their own lens is just snobbery.....half the time I think they are wrong anyway.

A bit like English test umpires of the past who use to be harsher on their own players than the opposition.

This ain’t tribal banter , this is a ‘whinging c*nt thread’ moaning about how hard done by Palace are, game by game.
And ‘bore off’ 🤣🤣, that says it all mate.

I readily admit that I have been accused of being "Boring" (As well as other negative terms) by those who could not warm to me if I was cremated by their side.
I believe that the cut and thrust of debate with often polarised opinions all adds to the rich tapestry of debates on HOL and other similar sites.
