There’s clearly been a new directive to not do the longer added time

 

Thats our game and Luton’s where at the start of the season it would’ve been over 7 minutes added on 

Another rule brought in but then ignored properly because players and managers complained about it .

The problem with VAR is very obvious. It ISNT being used to question clear errors. It’s being used to analyse EVERY decision.

This was always going to happen. The nonsense that was spouted about why VAR was exactly that. Nonsense. And so many have fallen for it

Thinking about Holgate's challenge earlier, what's the worse challenge you've seen?

 

I'd probably say Roy Keane's on Haaland senior..

Harald 'Toni' Schumacher on Battiston in the '82 World Cup semi-final. Battiston had 3 broken vertebrae and several teeth knocked out. Ref's decision - goal kick to West Germany.

What a game that was in Seville. France had a wonderful team including Platini, Tigana and Giresse. The horrific tackle notwithstanding, France were 3-1 up at half-time of extra time, but the Germans being the Germans pulled it back to 3-3 and won the penalty shootout. Thankfully they lost to Italy in the final. But that great France team that were so wronged in '82 at least went on to win Euro '84.

Some matches are still having plenty of time added on. And, call my cynical but I'd expect if Man U had needed a late goal there would've been more time added on. See Arsenal v Luton the week or so before!

Roy officially resigns. 

 

Seems to have been handled horrifically.

Don't think anything will change at Palace until the DOF/Chairman changes to be honest.

Seems a bit like he jumped before he was pushed... Shame really. Cant fault his commitment as a manager. worked on some tight budgets and always having to sell a player to balance the books it seems  since he came to England.

 

I wish him all the best.

Apparently the issue at Palace - there's about four people who have a stake in the club and they all have differing opinions. Two of them openly hate each other.

There's going to be a lot of sentimental stuff about Hodgson following this. 

 

Fair play - a lifetime in the game, and he did well at Fulham and stabilised Palace and returned last year to steady them 

 

However, his stewardship of England was woeful. 

 

Will never forgive him for 2016 when he selected Wilshire when he could have taken an in form Drinkwater, and he kept misusing / underusing an in-the-form-of-his-life Vardy.

Yes - think they are American and don't get on with Steve Parish?

 

The manager has been lined up for a while and Hdogson would have probably moved on earlier but for the medical issue.

Whilst the LOL result here would be a Palace thrashing of Everton, making their fans realise they really are in bother, but I don't see anything other than a home win.

Glasner is some coup for Palace, given his Europa League success.

 

Am surprised he chose them, to be honest, given their fairly precarious position and assumed tight budget.

A tackle by Kevin Muscat for Melbourne Victory on Adrian Zhaha - it was an assault, truely horrific. 
Muscat got an 8 game ban, and Zhaha lost his career that day. He was a promising winger and would have had a decent A League career, didn’t play again after the tackle at the highest level I don’t think. 
Kevin Muscat really made Roy Keane look like Andy King.

Always felt that Pickford had the potential to go higher in his career, but regularly believe that he lets himself down with poor clearances, passes and decision-making.
