Ratings & Reactions: Crystal Palace v Villa

[Thug]

Appalling ref.

Our yellows were yellows, not going to argue.. but when their guy is tugging on McGinns shirt.. nothing.

Grealish brought down, but wasn’t even claiming a penalty, Lansbury scores a legitimate goal.

what the **** was Trez thinking?! Two appalling bookings.

[Newry_Villan]

Would love Smith to call out the refs performance in his interview, that was a shocking call.

[drewdat]

I thought we were awful after about an hour, Trezeguet was completely invisible the last 30 minutes

[romavillan]

We were good in first 20 without creating anything.Then poor and loads of errors. The ref has **** us twice though there to be fair. Bad day at the office, still tried to take the game to them and should have got a point. That decision at the end is criminal.

Two things are true at the same time:

We were awful before and after the red card, and deserved nothing from a game. We were worrying levels below a fellow relegation candidate.

The ref was appalling, he booked Grealish for passing to Lansbury, 4 fouls per side in the first half - 0 yellows for them, 4 for us. 

Palace got points off man u, not sure they are a relegation candidate

[nick76]

We were not good enough but that ref was a disgrace.  I can’t remember such a poor/biased/corrupt ref performance than that and we should’ve snuck away with an undeserved draw.

[Ponky]

Simple fact is we scored a perfectly legitimate goal and only the most corrupt decision I've seen in many years prevented us from getting a point. 

[Genie]

I genuinely would love to know why it wasnt at least reviewer by VAR? It's an injury time equaliser from a team likely to be in a relegation battle. Its absolutely huge. 

[screwdriver]

massive miscarragie of justice. Grealish goes on a solo gets fouled about 3 times before the disallowed goal.

the ref done us.

the ammount of times the stream panned to that floppy haired ponce steve parish in the stands made me sick to my stomach.

Ref absolutely biased . He should be investigated

But no benefit to us if he is strung up 

He **** us few years back ago aswel , Think it was against Chelsea

Milivojevic made at least 5 fouls before he got booked , nearly all our yellows were on 1st foul 

[Vive_La_Villa]

I’m still in shock.

They definitely aren't, but we're going to find it hard to threaten any team if we do absolutely naff all in the final third.

[Smartin]

Fuming at that! Yes, we were poor and will need to improve, but the ref has cost us all game, and capped it off with that at the end. 

He had an issue with Grealish all game for some reason!

[thunderball]

Poor performance by all, but that’s a first for this season.

No sign of a goal today really which is the worrying part, not sure our midfield has enough for a premier league season. It’s going to be a long hard season.

Special word for the ref that set up that result by being unnecessarily over officious in the first half. Very poor and seemed to bear a grudge. Didn’t have to penalise Jack, he was always going over there, goal should have stood.

ref was shit but we were worse.

Other way round tbh.  We were shit, but that ref was absolute **** garbage.

[TheStagMan]

What the absolute **** is the point of VAR??????

 

Utter **** robbery.

 

Disgraceful refereeing from start to finish but even seeing how hiased and crooked Froend was throughout the match the disallowed goal was just beyond belief.

[Awol]

Yes we were poor, individual and team performance. But WT actual F happened at the end?? Put VAR in the  bin because that was a Farking joke.

 

[El Zen]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse refereeing decision. I’m absolutely fuming. Robbed of a point. 

[Ponky]

How can it be a dive if you keep your feet long enough to pass to a team mate? 

[dudevillaisnice]

Robbery no matter what way you look. If he thinks he simulated why supposedly stop the play? Absolute rubbish.
