My opinion ;

Gomes was a minimum yellow card. And if that had been an outfield player, a straight red.

As for the other main talking points ;

Stupid penalty conceded by Delaney - deserved the card
Zaha - seen those given, seen them waved away. But a yellow for diving ? Just another Clattenberg photo opportunity.

Overall, a standard Clattenberg performance when officiating a Palace game.

But I do give him credit for ignoring the efforts of the Watford players to get Benteke a second yellow.

Old, Ungifted and White

I can assure you this is NOT the case.Just giving my honest opinion.

At the end of the day when Mark's performance is analysed as part of a 'Forensic' analysis, which is normal, they might decide that a card should have been awarded, all I am doing is giving my opinion based on what I have seen.

Well here is the truth.....the goalkeeper was committed so made a decision.to pre b ent a goal and accept the consequences. He made the right call based on Benteke's pathetic attempt at the penalty. However, he knew he was going to make the foul.....i.e. A booking at least.

Why you can't just admit that is proof that you are just trying to provoke people.

I'm actually beginning to believe in conspiracy theories about c***enburg now. How is he allowed to rewrite the law book, especially against us.
In the cup final TWO last man fouls were rewarded ( yes the right word) with yellow cards against the laws of the game. Bent or scared of "ruining" the final? You decide?
Yesterday Gomes volleyed Benteke, high and late in the side of the knee, endangering an opponent, yet all the pathetic mouthpieces on the sports desks can bang on about is last man bollocks, so correct to not red card him. Benteke could of had his season ended by that tackle/assault, yet again c***enburg decided to apply his own reward to the player. Anywhere else on the field by an outfielder and that's a red, keeper isn't a special case, so red all day long.
As for the pathetic booking of a player bundled over in the area, sorry just smacks of an agenda to me now. How many times do we see a fb stuck in a tight corner, stop in front of a winger, initiate the contact and throw himself to the ground, as the wingers always seem to oblige? How many times is the foul not given? Never.
Zaha slowed down to initiate contact and the moron obliged. It was an unbelievably stupid decision by the defender and yet again that c*** rewarded him. Outside the box I believe the coward would of given us the kick, but to justify his cowardice he booked a player for no reason.
Like all wingers Wilf looks for penalties, it's his job, yet this season he should of won about 5 by now, yet challenges have gone unpunished and he has been punished instead. He's on course for 3 consecutive seasons of the prems most fouled, yet he now has the unfair reputation put on him by pathetic refs and pundits with their own little agendas. He's constantly fouled by committee, yet getting one given against you is getting rarer by the game.
Whether we deserved a win or not ( we didn't) we should be getting worried about the consistantly poor/cowardly/bent performances of the officials at our games. Are they all on far eastern betting syndicates books?

That's Life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

I think Gomes was going for the ball to boot it into the stands, he had no intention of kicking Benteke and Clatterburg in my opinion got that right, penalty was enough of a penalty for Gomes.

Was going away from goal, and wouldn't have been a red as the rule has been changed. Probably should have been a yellow if he is going to give a yellow to Damo for a push in the box. Having said that by the letter of the law he didn't deny a goal scoring opportunity because Benteke was heading out of play and it was a foul so probably the correct call.
