Kevin Mirallas

Jagielka is my primary blame in this imbroglio. He is not a captain's asshole

Jags and Barry were not aware what was going on, they were back on the half way line which gnev pointed out . Totally standard

Tbh think it is pretty standard to have your CB and DM behind the half way line when a penalty is taken.

Would Jags running up to wrestle the ball out of Mirallas's hands really have been that much better?

Disappointed.

Imo, right now, Mirallas probably feels like the biggest tit on the planet...and to the person who matters the most - himself. It might be the humility lesson he needs.

Hopefully.

No! But the sight of him booting him up the arse afterwards would live long in the memory.

Mirallas has scored from frees and penalties before. If Baines were injured he is probably the player who would be asked to take the kick. It would be almost impossible for any player or manager to rip the ball from his hands and give it to Baines. It would guarantee the departure of Mirallas from our club. It's not exactly Hibbert who wanted to take the kick. The manager and Naismith could say nothing else. I think what will happen behind closed doors will be interesting and in the longer term I will astounded now if Mirallas is at the club next August.
In the meantime he is a good player who can contribute to our season and we need everybody we can get.

Hopefully.

Agreed. One thing I can safely predict; Mirallas will NEVER again, in his football career, grab the ball from his team's designated penalty taker...

He's never taken one in the premier

Should have kept him on the pitch tbh, and saved the bollocking/fine for after we'd won the game.

We need Mirallas for the rest of the season, we can't castigate him.

He was back on the half way line sorting out his laces, expecting Baines to take it. Not to blame at all.

true this

I've heard it was Distin's fault, he texted Mirallas and convinced him to take it.

McGeady is back for Palace.

Is there any video of this all? I watched the match but they barely showed anything with people yelling at Mirallas and all that..
