He claims They had a direct train from Falmer to London laid on for them last season?

Yes, it did happen when they last played here, but it all depends on how many fans actually used it, and I think that the away numbers this time were much reduced. So, this might explain why the train did not run.
Pretty fair report that - although he's grasping at straws if he thinks that Skalak's yellow should have been a red. He's right that our fourth goal was offside though, you can see that from the highlights. Interesting that he gave Knockaert and Skalak joint highest ratings - there are plenty on here who'd disagree with that.
And yes, some London clubs do have direct trains laid on for them. I remember Palace and Millwall have had them too

Not sure its our fault there was no train organised this year, surely that a responsibility of the away club isn't it ?
If Jiri's was a red, then Hall's was a red, and Polter's was worth a season long ban.
Not sure which highlights you are watching, but the player involved (who steps over the shot) is NOT offside. He's played on by a yard, by the defender next to Kayal. (Kayal himself was offside, but nowhere near interfering with play).

Or possibly the train operator?
I went back to the highlights and stopped the clip at the moment of Knockaert's shot. Kayal and Murphy (I think it is) are both offside, albeit only slightly. You can see why the goal was given though, it would have been a harsh one to disallow

Yes but the initial request must have come form the away club I would have thought, and probably a financial contribution paid by them as well.

Wonder if he enjoyed the "Crystal Palace, we're coming for you" chants?

The special trains back to London muck up the eastbound service for everybody else, firstly because they have to wait in the platform for ages and secondly because it means segregating the fans to let the away fans board first. There has been no policy announcement as far as I am aware, but none have run this season and I suspect that will be the end of them.

To be fair that was a very decent and honest read.
I love reading the opposition perspective and they were very complimentary so I will always be happy with that!

QPR seemed in absolute disarray. It was interesting looking down at the two benches.
Hughton was coolness personified, gently strolling around the technical area, comfortable in the knowledge that his team knew exactly what was expected of them.
Hasselbaink on the other hand, was up and down from his bench, looking on the verge of a seizure for most of the game. He's got a LOT of work to do in the summer, assuming he's still in the job.
