CRYSTAL PALACE HAVE SCORED A GOAL

vff

The dive is a curse on modern day football. Until Cheats like Zaha are booked in game or after, & are not rewarded with penalties then it will continue. There was more dives in the first half. Typical Palace, cheat debtors,& cheating to gain points. A club lacking in any class.

Irrespective of it being Palarse that dive was disgraceful.

Hate to say it but looked a blatant pen for me... He went for it, but it wasn't a dive for once

The second replay from the video on here (last page) shows a clear dive though... Bloke is going down before contact

Twitter is basically split between it's a clear dive and it's a clear pen.

At least it's clear.

Or to put it another way, Arsenal fans v the rest of the world.

First angle it's a clear pen, second angle it's a clear dive. If I was the VAR ref I'd have to toss a coin.

Xhaka has admitted it was a pen.

Chris_from_Sidcup

Dive for me, he jumps into Xhaka then goes over.

Things why does Zaha even need to jump like that if Xhaka has made contact, surely he can go down more naturally if thats what happened

He's jumping /diving before any contact has been made.

I simply don’t get why refs give him pens. He must have mugged off every PL ref by now. If that was me I would just not award him anything.

He’s very clever with it. Leaves his foot down for a split second longer until he feels contact. Knows exactly what he’s doing and it’s cheating but it’s not as clear as a blatant dive when there’s no contact. Makes it very hard for refs. Hate him.

I would think he is a very good player .....

If he didn’t play for Palarse

Yep, you are right. I would keep Marshall ;-)

It was a penalty, but Zaha made the most of it.

A proper dive from Willian, which was spotted and punished

I was going to. About 15 arrived and by time they finished touching fists with each other time had passed and I had to go. Whatever happened to handshakes ?

Its not cool anymore maaan, innit!!

You could make a case either way for pen/no pen, but you know that the only thought in his mind is to "win" a pen, not to shoot or cross to a team mate. The fella has ability, but is essentially a player who dives and cheats to compensate for the cloggers he has to play with. And they just give him the ball in the hope he'll "win" something for them.

Palace’s equaliser spoilt my Beat The Bookie entry.

Last time I went to David Lloyd in Beckenham was the play off final Palace won to get promoted. I decided I wanted to be well away from anyone Palace but not leave Beckenham. It was the wrong choice 😔

Fortune 82nd Minute

Not a lot to cheer about at the moment so let's at least celebrate Palace's defeat to Championship side Middlesbrough in tonight's League cup match.
