I hate to be negative, but that first half yesterday was the most abysmal performance ive seen from Palace in many years. Shocking and disgraceful. Lets hope theres an improvement on Tuesday at Sunderland or we are in very deep sh!t...
Yes it wasn't very good but having 2 clear penalties not given (even the commentator, Linekar and Keown agreed they were) changed the result completely because it would have been 3-1 much earlier in the game. Could very easily have been 3-3. The second half was the learning half and I think you will see Bolasie start the game on Tuesday with Adebayor coming on in the 2nd half. Adebayor is a very good player but can't be expected to perform 100% in every game yet. He's also scored a goal in a little under 2 games.It's a shame a very good game was ruined by a cheat like Benteke and an official who was goaded by the supporters behind him. Was a top game until that incident. I had a lot of respect for Klopp but when he couldn't admit that one of his players was unprofessional in diving that respect disappeared.

I agree , it was a good game,There are more fouls & contact between players waiting for every corner than there was with Benteke's awful penalty decision.
I really cannot see how anybody can see that this was a pen, & why Benteke was screaming in agony before he dives to the ground is just beyond me & can only be a ploy to con the officials.
It's not just a did at Liverpool , i guess all teams do it but it really does piss me off,
I thought Palace played well & you really should have been at least 2 up at half time.
Apparently, Danny Murphy on Talksport said that Delaney waited for an hour to talk with the referee after the game about it. The referee, Andrew Mariner said it wasn't a penalty in his opinion but used the opinion of the linesman was standing right in front of the Liverpool support section who all shouted 'penaty'. Absolutley ridiculous and ruins a professional display by both teams up to that point in the game, just 30 seconds from the final whistle.

Exactly as he should, ref couldn't possibly have seen the incident at the right angle, so consulted the linesman who had a better view. Whether he was unduly influenced by the fans only he will know.I thought it was a soft penalty but all players go down in the box if they feel a touch (which there clearly was) and most are given.
It was controversial because of the circumstances, last kick of the game etc, and that we got an undeserved win when down to 10 men.

I'm still fuming. Firstly, the injustice of the penalty, secondly the timing of the penalty, thirdly the bad luck in our keeper presenting them with the equaliser, fourthly the apparent inability of Palace to 'grind out a result', fifthly that we didn't take advantage of playing against ten men, sixthly that Pardew threw on two forwards and took off a defender, seventhly that we just don't seem capable of putting an end to this horrendous run of shocking performances combined with bad luck and incompetent match officials. It really bloody hurts, anybody got a spare piece of rope?
Still, the sun came up this morning.

The assistant referee is always going to be standing in front of one set of fans or another. The ref is right to consult with him/her if he feels they would have had a better view. The ref can't seriously be expected not to consult on a pen because the asst ref is too close to the appealing fans.Fact is that the ref consults the (cheating b4stard) linesman, but then makes his decision. So he's copping out by saying the linesman gave it. He should've realised that poor bloody linesman has to run up and down in front of the scousers for 45 minutes with them screaming in his ear. The ref should've realised that the touch was so insignificant as to not knock over a flippin powder puff and that bloody Benteke is cheating. Still fuming.

Hahahahahaha 
Do you actually believe what you wrote? This thread has some spectacularly deluded posters on it, I nearly confused it with the Liverpool thread for a moment.
The assistant referee has seen what he thought was a foul and gave it. Yes, it may not be the correct decision (I've seen it several times in super slo mo from various angles and still can't make my mind up) but what you're saying is that the assistant referee is essentially a cheat. The ref will only ever overrule another official if he has a definitive angle on a decision, which he clearly didn't in this case. There was contact as well, so it's tough s
t I'm afraid.

xplain to me why the time of the penalty makes you fume? 
I defy any fan not to feel pissed off when a dubious penalty is given against them in the last TWO SECONDS of added time.As for being deluded or having a sense of entitlement, I'm not and i have none whatsoever. We nearly went out of business in 2010, so most of the time I'm just loving being in the prem. But that doesn't make injustice or bad luck any easier to take, and our bad run this year is really hurting. But hey, you all go ahead and take the piss, i really dont give a flying f

You can't make your mind up and you've seen it multiple times in slo mo? And the linesman gave it, with one view. And he's supposed to be certain. But he gave it in the last two seconds of added time. Tough sDo you actually believe what you wrote?
