Absolutely fucking ridiculous. He’s jumping, not moving his hand towards the ball. You can argue that it’s technically a penalty, but the two hands in Ayew’s back in the first half is also a technical penalty.
It’s all a lottery.

Palace should have taken a point although seemed to be second to the loose ball. Benteke should have scored. Gallagher's set pieces were dreadful all night.
Two losses against sides we should have taken at least four points from. Very disappointed.

That sort of game shouldn’t be taking place.

Still furious. Cooper elbowed Connor Gallagher in the throat, ref doesn’t see it, VAR doesn’t intervene. Fair enough on the latter part although you could argue it’s serious foul play.
We’ve improved on the use of VAR since it was first introduced but I think it needs more tweaking.
With handball in the box it is weighted against the defence. What is an unnatural arm position when standing is not unnatural when jumping. Hands on the back is usually a foul anywhere on the pitch, but not in the penalty area. We review obvious errors, but not complete omissions? To my mind VAR should be all over bringing up things the on-field officials have missed completely, especially off the ball incidents. That would keep players honest and stop the shithousery.

Kevin Friend has been influential in many Palace defeats over the years. He seemed to give many decisions against us even when he was a linesman in the Championship.
Next up, Manchester United on Sunday and Palace have an extra two days' rest. I fancy our chances in that one, after all getting the better of tougher opposition is what Palace is all about..., as well as plenty of irritating results against weaker opposition.

We are similar in lots of ways, but then most clubs are.

I'm all for giving women's sport the opportunity to grow but I can't see how the format helps any of the teams involved. England have scored 53 goals and conceded 0 in the 6 games so far. That's not going to help them prepare for playing the likes of USA and Norway in any fashion. Its also not going to encourage anyone to take up the game in Latvia either.
