Bristol City v Palace

J BLOCK

Palace wanted the game replayed, FA just confirmed that it will not, nothing that wasn't expected really.

Friend Or Defoe

Jesus weep. What a joke club they are.

A good idea not to create a precedent. Say in the near future a team have a player clean through on goal, he's gone around the keeper and taps the ball into an empty net from five yards but the referee blows for offside and disallows the goal. Technology later shows that the player was very much on-side and that goal should have stood. What then? I don't think anyone would want the game to be re-played, so why is this any different?

I'd say this or some variation of it happens several dozen times a season and probably at least once to every team. The referee and lino made career ending mistakes, but the result must stand.

... and how far back would you go? Because I don't rate our chances in a replay of the 1966 World Cup Final, now that we would be a couple short...

of course this is frsutrating if it's your team, but in essence it is the same as having a goal wrongly disallowed for offside, as I believe Bristol City did

Totally agree. You would hope that the ref/lino would get something like the palace decision right becasue it's so blatant but imo there's no difference between that and the off side decision which went against Bristol City.

Both were valid goals that should have stood.

In which case, it's 2-1 to City. Palace end up with no points. But Jordan has to pay Sears a scoring bonus. I think we should ask for this to be overturned!
