It will come as no surprise that it involved a small club from South London.

Perhaps FIFA are right to consider playing matches where you have to have 60 minutes of ball in play time?

I didn't realise FIFA were considering that. I am fully in favour of that change as it will undoubtedly stop almost all time wasting.

I'm in favour too. It's enough to be cheated every week by having to go to a 1960's stadium, without also spending nearly half the match where the ball has been kicked into the stands.

BUT at least they have T shirt cannons.

A rule about letting the opposition have at least 20% possession would also be nice ... greedy greedy Citeh.

They were also considering making deliberately handling to score a goal a red card offence. How different would yesterday have been if that had been brought in this season?

What time do Palace kick off? Every 20 minutes.
