Trying to win the ball in the box and a penalty = no red card.

Taking the man not the ball and giving away a penalty = red card.

Players who commit a foul to deny a goalscoring opportunity will no longer automatically be sent off, football's rule-making body has confirmed.

The previous 'triple-punishment' rule required a red card - and therefore a suspension - as well as the award of a penalty under those circumstances.

However, players committing accidental fouls that deny a goalscoring chance will now be cautioned instead.

But deliberate fouls will still incur a red card.

Those include holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball in order to deny a goalscoring opportunity.

That's the way I interpret it, it's a deliberate foul in the box.

So it's a penalty.

But it's only a red if it stops a clear goal scoring opportunity AND there is no genuine attempt to play the ball.

Fair comment. It'd be a big job to get them playing a beautiful game.

It'd be fucking impossible with what Palace have got. Hence the Allardyce appointment ;-)

Dunno mate.

I do though. That's what I'm saying.
