Referee today.

[Save Dwindlehurst]

Refs get a lot of stick but Peter Bankes’ performance today was the best I’ve seen at Palace for many a year. Let enough go to let the game flow, fair to both sides and not intimidated by the players antics. He played his part in what was a smashing game. Well done Peter!

I thought he was outstanding, he let the play go on, wasn't conned by the diving and falling over by both teams, they should use the recording of the game to show other refs that is how you ref a game.

After being criticised and stood down for his failure to understand the handball rule in ManC v Wolves and Palace v Chelsea there was no way Darren England was going ask Banks review the goal. If the rule is correctly applied there was no handball offence as Lerma was too near Khalaili whose arm was in a natural position.

Now as for all the fouls on Larsen and the chopping down two Palace players in the area….
