Premiership games today

[Green Cross Code Man]

So Dean:

1) Should have sent off Ake in the first half
2) Allows play to continue far over the allotted injury time
3) Erroneously gives Man City a free kick prior to their winner
4) Sends Sterling off because the crowd went crazy

How does he continue to be allocated Premier League games? It seems as though almost in every game he officiates he causes controversy.

I'm in agreement with this except the Bournemouth player went down for about a couple of minutes in the second minute of injury time.

Well, that and the fact that he allowed enough time for City to get the winner and knock the smug look from Eddie Howe.

Its only an indication and anything that happens in injury time will be added on, do not understand how people still dont understand this. The game was stopped before 9 and restarted just before 91 - once the 5 mins had already been calculated so there was at least 6 mins before anything else

Of course it's an indication but there's a clear convention that you blow the whistle a very short time after the allotted time. Given that there's only 60 minutes of effective playing time each match, you clearly don't add on like-for-like time for every stoppage. The problem is there is no consistency between referees when they add on extra time. City scored in the 97th minute (there were 5 minutes added) - so it's only understandable that Bournemouth are aggrieved with that. So, who doesn't understand?

Boos at Selhurst Park.

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Cue throat-slitting gestures up the road at half time - Abraham gives Swansea the lead

 

[Weststander]

The taxi for Benitez (a bit of a NSC obsession), has just received a radio call from Parrish Cabs of Norwood to collect De Boer and take him to Heathrow.

Palace 2 nil down

Palace 2 nil down

Back to back home defeats against Hudd and Swansea would be shite.

BBC:

"FULL-TIME
Crystal Palace 0-2 Swansea
A few more boos from those Palace fans still inside Selhurst as the final whistle goes. The rest couldn't even be bothered to do that. And I don't blame them."

That suggests the Greatest Fans In The World (TM) didn't all stay to support their side when they really needed it. Presumably this is just fake news from the BBC.

Bloody hell. Commentators gushing over short arse Schmeichel's penalty save but it was perfect placing for a keeper going the right way (the way Lukaku always goes).

Was also way off his line, not spotted by the ref.

Some shocking refereeing today in the PL, Man U struggling now to overcome Leicester thanks to missing the penalty

 

[Stat Brother]

FFS Huddersfield play West Ham next.

It's like they stayed in the Championship.

Nice elbow from Mitrovic as seen on MOTD. Should see a retrospective ban coming his way.
