Crystal Palace (N) | FA Cup Final | Post Match Thread

[BolinCell]

Palace got the rub of the green

That is the luck of the draw

the luck off the draw meant we had Crystal Palace in the final and we couldn't even put that to bed. Shocking what's going on at the moment with this team.

If not for VAR, their second goal would've stood.

You're right. Hurrah for VAR.

 

[Stelea]

Disgraceful performance, poor Management

 

[dubblue]

If not for VAR, their second goal would've stood.

The second goal would be er have happened as we’d have been 2/3-1 up

 

[carlosthejackal]

Only sing when we’re winning?
At least we showed up today. It was the best performance in months but palace had the bit between their teeth and rode their luck

Fuck all to do with winning and everything to do with desire and effort . It was a rinse and repeat performance of last weekend .

 

[Nellies left peg]

congrats to palace

Just want to say big congrats to PGMOL as well. Tried your hardest and you did it. The WORST decision I’ve seen in football and obviously it goes against us.

Will happily jump on conspiracy theories about today and the refereeing decisions this season we’ve had go against us.

I knew Twatwell would have us over I just thought Gillet was a half decent ref till today. That has to be by far the worst VAR decision in history

 

[I'm With Stupid]

It should have stood

It really shouldn't.

 

[mac]

Disappointed but not surprised. Didn’t like BBC showing a young lad in the City end in tears not needed .

Oh shut up. They do it for most teams.

 

[citytill1die84]

We didn't even play badly, honestly soooo one sided Henderson MOTM and should have been off, ref a disgrace.

WIN OR LOSE HAVE A FUCKING BOOZE.

WE'LL BE BACK.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

True

It’s a fact of life

Sometimes you just get lucky

 

[BossHog]

If not for VAR, their second goal would've stood.

2 yards offside but not seen by lino

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

I’d like to see the pen again as one angle did look like he got the ball.

Henderson not being sent off was the key decision though.

I was told quite stridently by many people when Dias won the ball and gave away a penalty v Villa just a few weeks ago that it didn't actually matter that he touched the ball.

Now apparently it does.

Whatever we tell ourselves, the rule is just "whatever the referee wants to happen". That's not suggesting they're corrupt or anything, they're just making whatever decision will give them the easiest life in a given situation.

 

[mattyads]

Two bad transferwindows in a row.
Hope this summer will be better.

Try 4

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Only 9 1/2 more years of disinterested Earling and his play every week if fit contract

What type of mentality must he have to give up a fucking penalty kick in a cup final?
A free shot at goal.
That decision of his blew my mind!
Could you imagine Mbappe passing that opportunity up?
No me neither!

 

[SWPISHOME]

Wish he was on earlier. Foden was pathetic.

I've said for months Foden attitude is nothing short of abysmal.

All this talk of "Ah he's had covid earlier in the season", Then it was "He's moving house"...Enough of the excuses!

He's been appalling all season, I understand players have bad games and I'm actually fine with that as they aren't robots! This thing of being on the field and not giving a fuck doing this half arsed with no effort gets on my nerves and he's been prime suspect of it throughout the season.

 

[lust overlord]

Here is a thought...would this team beat our treble winning team?

Which one?
And the answer is no they'd get bummed,by either.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

We’ve got 2 more League games and the CWC yet.

Our season is done. We’ll be lucky to get champs league.

CWC is next season, window opens.

 

[YatesA]

Doku and Savinho are simply not good enough to be starting for us they’re squad players at best KDB is finished he should retire and Haaland is a bottleless useless lump

Ye doku is a great impact sub, nice back up player but can't see savinho succeeding here. I'd start bobb on the right and sign an all out attacking right back to provide the width with him and help create space for him

 

[we are really here]

Well that was shite

 

[VOOMER]

The only thing I’m going to blame Haaland for is not taking the penalty. That’s a cowards move.

As for his poor performances, he’s got fuck all to work with. Every ounce of creativity has been removed from this side. Just look at Foden when he came on, not only did he make more passes backwards than forwards, he was left with nothing but hitting hopeful crosses to the box. This is one of the most gifted players in English history we’re talking about.

I just don’t understand how a side with such attacking talent can be so poor.

Because our defence is abysmal and we can't take penalties!
