Leon osman on at half time. Great player he was, good to see.

Who cares it was given and we scored. How many times have we been on the receiving end of those type of decisions

Do numbers go that high?

 

[Lelouch]

Palace haven't done much apart from the corner where we defended poorly, Zaha hasn't had a sniff really cause Mina has wound him right up.

 

[Terrarian]

The reason I think it was deffo a pen is because the handball stopped the ball going to richarlison. If it was just going out for a goal kick it wouldn't have been.

I have a feeling that's why it was given

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Can't believe Richarlison made Ward handball that

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Eh lads. Just saw that first goal. James, eh? Phwoar.

 

[BluePingu]

The rule is hard and fast now. Ref has to give it. So stop saying 'controversial decision'. The actual rule is where the controversy is, shirley?

Who're you taking off for him?

I think part of the decision to give the pen was because it looked like Richarlison could've been in had it not hit his hand.

think that’s exactly it, it stopped a goal scoring chance

still think it’s a bit harsh IMO

 

[Bob Latchford]

He’s done well bringing the ball out and playing forward passes hasn’t he?

Playing with confidence
Pity about the corner but he hasn’t done much wrong this season given his short comings in previous seasons

 

[USABlue]

By the letter of the law that’s a handball. You’ll get them and they’ll go against you. Suck it up.

Yeah its definitely a pen based on the most recent rule change. Honestly not a big fan of the rule oversl but it is what is . Glad we're up and hope Carlo keeps them motivated for the 2nd half

 

[Devanski]

Penalty was a nonsense but I’ll take it...
Gomez and James playing well but not a bad player out there.
Let’s close this out early in the 2nd half .

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Eh lads. Just saw their goal. Richarlison should have jumped.
