Not bothered that they happen to be Palace players.
Both tried to deliberately injure another player.
Unacceptable.

Injured themselves in the process and out for the season?
Karma.

I think the reaction to Glenn Murray sums up the two sets of fans.
Muzza returns to Brighton as a Palace player, and is booed from first minute to the last.
Muzza returns to Palace as a Bournemouth player, and the fans cheer his name when the teams are read out ( he was on the bench) and he was clapped every time he warmed up .
Muzza returns to Brighton, and we played against him at the Amex, we cheer and sing his name. He appreciates the sentiments, and walks over to the Palace fans at the end, and applauds.
I won't mention the play off match as it's been done to death, but Muzza knows.

Both deliberately fouled an opposition player, But carry on talking bollox about injuries if it suits.

Neither of them are dirty players, Puncheon's tackle wasn't the best that's for sure but I don't believe either is the type to deliberately injure a fellow pro. What would puncheon get out of injuring KdB is the dying seconds of the game?

I think the difference here is that Murray turned down a contract offer (albeit a poor one!) to sign for Palace.
Whereas he left you lot to go to Bournemouth because he was not wanted and then returned to us.
I don't think you lot would have been so charitable had he gone directly from you to us.

In terms of the challenges I don't think Dann's was that bad and was stopping an attack as many defenders do - taking one for the team as such.
Think Puncheon's was a really poor challenge though and whilst I have no idea if he was deliberately trying to injure KDB it was reckless at best and KDB was lucky to escape unhurt.

Dann's tackle deserved a yellow, Puncheon's should have been a red.
I don't think either tackle was a deliberate attempt to end De Bruyne's career, the first was cynical, the second was a badly timed cynical tackle.

I will be in the minority. I dont think the challenges whilst bad were intended to be career ending challenges. Whilst I am happy of course to see Palaces team weaker I wouldnt wish long term injury on any player. Karma will be if they go down because of it nothing more to me
