Match Thread Crystal Palace v Everton - 1984 video, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Amw79]

VAR lets refs outsource their decision. The fella on the pitch didn’t even think it was a foul. Some bellend in a room watches it frame by frame, to find a single frame of contact, and says Red.

Absolute garbage. Want Dyche to call it out and take a fine.

 

[cahill 17]

Even Dermot Gallagher might say that's not a sending off

Very doubtful

 

[Azza]

Can't really tell what McNeil has done there?

His ankle maybe?

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Look at Betos size and strength make a difference on this sloppy track. Why wait so long????

 

[Mr PEN86]

That might be McNeil's season. Ankle buckled it looks

 

[HowardsWay]

If this red was not down to total incompetence by all officials, then all you have left is corruption. Take your pick.

The red is down to the guidelines given for serious foul play or endangering an opponent. It was not serious foul play but you may make an argument that the studs being up were endangering an opponent under the guidelines. However, anyone who has ever played the game knows full well that there was no deliberate attempt to do that. At worst it was a yellow, at best it was "play on". It's utterly bewildering.

 

[Del-boy]

Danjuma deffo won’t be leaving then.

 

[Dykovski200]

Doesn’t look good for dwight

 

[maccavennie]

That should be 2 yellows for Hughes as well

 

[EFCINLONDON]

Slow down that Hughes challenge there and he's showing studs.

You literally could have 10 sending offs a game if they follow the logic they did with dcl

 

[brucemate]

This isn’t association football anymore, quite frankly, I no longer recognise nor acknowledge it.

Seem to be copying the way the Tories are run. Lack of fairness , sense, accompanied by arrogance and greed to name a few starter issues.

Also accompanied by an refusal to acknowledge the problems or improve them.

 

[Chegsy]

Not sure what happened to McNeil but it doesn’t look good for him.

 

[devogue]

McNeil finished for season

Great

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Reading Twitter and this board... I haven't seen the replay yet, but everyone has gone nuts. Cannot imagine what I am about to see

Nothing to see mate, that’s the joke

 

[lieneverton]

Solid 15 mins. Nonsense red, DCL out for 3 games and McNeil probs out for longer.
