Simon Hooper in the premier league

You don't need to make contact, if the foot is above shoulder height, it's deemed as foul play.

No it's not. It's the same as overhead kicks (which would all be illegal under your interpretation of the law), it's about how safe it is in that moment to raise your foot (regardless of contact).

I've only seen one replay of it, but it seemed like the palace player was not in danger of getting hit in the head - he leaned in toward the ball and by the time his head got to where the leg was, the leg was on the way down. To me, that's safe enough.

That's incorrect, otherwise no overhead goals would ever be allowed.

Do Palarse really deserve the attention we afford them? Can't be arsed myself, they'll always be insignificant.

I was replying to Triggaar's post about it not being a foul because Jerome's foot didnt making contact with Ward's head.
I'm fully aware that overhead kicks are legal.

I also said it wasn't close to making contact with anyone. You're aware that they're legal, yet you still posted this:

Do you realise you got it wrong?

It's not about overhead kicks not being illegal, that's merely a side issue. It's about your interpretation of the event being a foul just because the foot was above head height, which is as wrong as the suggestion it's not a foul if there's no contact.

The reason it wasn't a foul is because there was no danger to the palace player.

Well the linesman and ref deemed it to be dangerous play , so I'd rather stick to their interpretation of the law.

Franchise CPFC2010 have done OK for a club only 5 years old.

Funny how it's only palace fans that agree with them.

Hoops doesn't seem to be getting much support on rate the ref.

With respect, they didn't have all the replays and different angles that the pundits have at their disposal.
Every decision is now analysed ,but the officials have a split second to call it.
If you raise your foot that high in a crowded box, you risk a foul being called.

More than ok I would suggest old bean

Yep, I see some of your fans getting carried away already and talking about being in Europe next season and winning a couple of cups this season.They dare call us deluded

All those cliches are true, but it doesn't make their decision right. A wrong decision is a wrong decision. It may be an understandable mistake to make, but it is still a mistake.

You get that at all clubs, I'm sure you've had a few like that in the last few years !
I'm not getting carried away, priority is safety, anything else is gravy.

Very wise, you need to stay in the Prem to do something about your infrastructure. I see your academy is now in danger of being downgraded again to Cat 3, so serious money needs to spent at the club and not just on players.

You're making yourself look a right dick on this thread, tbh. Just accept it was a shocking refereeing display that you were the lucky beneficiaries of.

Cross your fingers that next time you're not on the wrong end of a Hoops performance.

I agree with that, if we stay up again this season, we need to announce plans for Selhurst's re-development .
The academy have moved to a new home ( opposite the training ground) for this season, they need a new base urgently.

Are your owners still looking to sell up, as was rumoured? That might delay things in terms of infrastructure.

Im sure if the right people came along, who could invest in the playing side AND the infrastructure, they would be interested.
Parish has stated he would still stay on as chairman.
