Not bad. Refreshing to see a team that doesn't roll over against them.

Exactly. At least these have a go at them unlike so many teams.

Come on palace.

[Dim Glas]

I wonder what mad excuse they will give for not giving that.

 won’t need to be one. It’ll be ignored and not talked about by the pundits and in the media following the game.

[DTRed]

Commentary is painfully over the top for City. Have they all been brainwashed?

Watching games like this makes me angry about how teams approach City.  They are a fair weather team this season. If you get at them they panic and there's a chance.

It's days like these you wish Andros Townsend still played for Palace - always worth a stunning winner against them.

Come on Palace

[stockdam]

Did the palace player ‘ deliberately slow down’

You mean like Drogba used to do to win freekicks?

[Dougle]

At least it's not Hodgeball. Good on them. Nice to see a side have a set of bollocks against them.

Pity Villa put out a B team against them earlier this week.

[smicer07]

Fine, don't give a penalty for it. But check it more than once and at different angles.

[stockdam]

won’t need to be one. It’ll be ignored and not talked about by the pundits and in the media following the game.

They have already set the ground rules by saying "he went down too easily". I'd like to know where in the rules does it state this.

[Hazell]

Or next half?

That's the dream!

[rocco]

Can’t remember a VAR to go against city

[gerrardsarmy]

Palace could easily be two up.

Our win at Palace  was a bit fortuitous as I remember. Struggling badly until Ayew was sent off

Yeah we went 1-1 basically first free kick after Ayew was sent off. Then Elliott of course.

[cptrios]

Can't stand these "don't give me hope" games. I shouldn't even be checking the score, let alone this thread.

[smicer07]

Tierney seemed to be saying the ball wasn't anywhere near the players on the penalty 🙄

[duvva 💅]

Can't stand these "don't give me hope" games. I shouldn't even be checking the score, let alone this thread.

It’s all part of the title race. Embrace it. I’d rather these games meant something to us than not even if it usually ends in frustration

[capt k]

You mean like Drogba used to do to win freekicks?

i think he means like Jota did and was cleaned up, only for the ref to say "he slowed and inititated contact"

Gvardiol penalty shout for Crystal Palace on 44' - https://v.redd.it/dkljs6b2rusc1 & https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1776587673865470259

[Kekule]

From the clip just before the break Tierney seemed to be pointing in one location saying “the ball was there” then points to the location of the foul as if to imply the foul was nowhere near the ball.  Of course the replay just moments before shows the defender who committed the foul heading the ball away. So not sure how the ball was nowhere near the offence.

[Rush 82]

Palace player stood his ground waiting for the ball and was pushed over. How on earth was that not a penalty?

Ha ha, no mention of the incident at HT either - Jedi mind trick ‘it never happened’


The ‘not so subtle’ pro Man City narrative is real.

[darragh85]

It's bent as fuck. If we end losing it by a small margin we should tear the place apart.


You see how. Long they mull over var checks when it's against us and they don't even bother looking when it affects city.

[smicer07]

Scandalous of TNT not even to do any analysis of it at half time.

[RJH]

won’t need to be one. It’ll be ignored and not talked about by the pundits and in the media following the game.

BBC text feed already downplayed it as: "Josko Gvardiol and Eberechi Eze collide inside City's penalty area."

[FlashGordon]

The keeper was beaten. It was inches away from being a goal.

He was fairly lucky it hit the bar, it was a terrible strike.

the comments.."

"If he actually tried to stay up he may have been fouled enough to get a pen.

As he dropped to the ground immediately it was an obvious dive and should've had a yellow.
"

 the reason he dropped to the ground was he was fouled enough to give a pen

So not sure how the ball was nowhere near the offence.

Also, how does the ball not being there make it any better?

Commentator masturbating over city. VAR must have been watching something on the other channel, and couldn't be arsed to look at the penalty claim.

Cheating scum.

[Tonyh8su]

Excellent new rule for defenders. Take player out as a dangerous cross is still in the air. We may win the title.

"Daniel Munoz asks Erling Haaland for his shirt infront of the Palace fans as the teams walk off. Haaland obliges, and the home fans let their player know what they think of that. #mcfc" (@_joebray, Twitter)

[stockdam]

If it had been Haaland then it would have been "clever" and a definite penalty.

The worrying thing is that VAR didn't look at it. Compare that to Chelsea's 2nd penalty when they looked at it for a good 2 minutes.

[Barneylfc∗]

Scandalous of TNT not even to do any analysis of it at half time.

It's basically Abu Dhabi TV at this stage.

[Peabee]

Not even mentioned the penalty incident at HT?!

Good. Fuck all that carry on. Pathetic.

[DelTrotter]

Sickeningly bent, dunno why I bother watching.

[smicer07]

Shite.

[Snail]

[Rush 82]

Pricks

[Tonyh8su]

Terrible defending.

[stockdam]

Shit.....Palace have had their chances and fluffed them.

[Bennett]

TNT hadn't even put the teams up ffs.

[duvva 💅]

I take it all back

Wankers. What’s the point

[Barneylfc∗]

Well played PGMOL. Good process.

[Peabee]

Switched off. Mad that the non-pen has been swept under the carpet, and here is the result. Only takes one wrong decision from the "refs" to sway a game.
