[Football] Men’s FA Cup Final Match Thread - KO 16.30***

[Seagull58]

How on earth did Attwell and Jarrett get the Henderson red card so wrong ? Yes, I know they're f***ing useless but, surely, it can't just be monumental incompetence?
There must be some corruption involved, no?

 

[Redinpeace]

The Henderson handball was bizarre, saying it wasn’t a goal scoring opportunity?

It was a yellow and a free kick minimum, just another mad decision to add to the every growing list.

You can all fc*k OFF

I’m really not in the mood to be the butt of your jokes right now.

I’ve just seen my team’s chances of getting into Europe next season go up in smoke and our arch rivals the ones to do it.

@Bozza has a much better response to fellow Brighton fans than either of you two WUMs.

Leave Bodian alone please. You may be piss@d off, as we all are, but he’s ok. There are two reasons why we may not be in Europe next year: Wolves at home and Leicester away.

So am I so leave me alone please. That was all I was asking of those taking the piss including @Bodian and the subsequent laughing emojis. Not tonight please - I feel too darn low to be the butt of people’s jokes.

(Ps I wasn’t referring to @Bodian being a WUM!)

The only thing I will add, and this is not aimed at anyone, is that we sometimes need the bad times so that in the future, the good times will feel better. And they will feel better.

As I said to someone privately earlier - I think because it has been such an intense season and a rollercoaster with our inconsistency, maybe the idea of qualifying for Europe took on more significance after our good run post-Forest than it did at the beginning of the season when many of us had no big expectations.

However, for our run for Europe to end by Citeh not turning up and Palace having an easy run only to park the bus when they arrived … I was a Citeh supporter today ffs

They really didn’t want to send Henderson off because it would have destroyed the game .

Dean Henderson handball: How did Crystal Palace goalkeeper escape red card in FA Cup final against Manchester City?

Dean Henderson handled the ball outside of his box during the first half of the FA Cup final against Man City; Crystal Palace goalkeeper went unpunished by referee Stuart Attwell and the VAR; Pep Guardiola did not want to discuss the incident while Oliver Glasner had his fingers crossed

I had us in a group prediction league finishing 9th this year but only because of the change in manager and the way we finished last season which was, quite frankly, relegation form. I was surprised by the amount of money we spent in the Summer post Rdz, but personally I don’t think the amount spent has paid off yet. The injuries have not helped but you are spot on on the inconsistencies this year. Hopefully this has been a bedding in year for a few of the new signings and I think a few of the loan players could add to our performances next year, Hopefully we can keep Mitoma, Baleba and JP.

He knows it’s outside the box

Probably been mentioned before but City deserved to lose for their choice of font on the back of their shirts.

Hurzeler is right, we dont have any physicality in MF except Baleba, need more dynamism and power in middle of the park.

 

[Dick Head]

I know mate… it sucks.

Don’t spend all night on here though, it might not be the most positive of moves…

Don't be daft, we might win Eurovision.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Should we declare a day of national mourning?

I'm not sure how high up it should appear on the list of great disasters of our time.

I really like it. Wish we had similar.

Thats about as well as we're gonna do in Europe this year.

Extremely high.

 

[theboybilly]

I think the only way to face this is to accept...

Despite everything we are doing in football, how far we've come and everything we've achieved so far....

Palace will always be better than us.

Is that the Palace who has an entire history built on fabrication?

1861

Team of the 80s

The complete rebrand under Allison

The nonsense that they were going under in 2010 when they were always going to be baled out, and how their fans relied round in their thousands to help save the club.

The dressing room lies at the 2013 Playoff semi-final

That Palace?

The club that have had half a billion more Premier League £££s than the Albion yet have never showed any inclination of attempting to do anything more than stay up.

And now have spawned an FA Cup win on the back of giving up 80% possession to stifle a poor Man City side after probably the easiest ever run to the Final since Royal Engineers.

That Palace?


Better club? Never in a million years

 

[Superphil]

You know what, we’ve spent today remembering a very good friend who just died from pancreatic cancer. It’s shit, we know that. Good for palace, good for their fans, right now, anything that is good is worth it.

Blimey - sorry @Zeberdi , it was only a lighthearted comment, not a serious implication of cause and effect!

I just woke up, ffs wont hear the end of this for years to come.
Might go back to sleep !
