Originally posted by Palace Old Geezer I only watched the second half and it certainly looked like the ref was well disposed towards Liverpool. On a different tack, Brighton's winning goal was very well taken by Mitoma who looks a lively, energetic and skillful player. Perhaps our scouts should take a trip to Japan. Brighton signed Mitoma from a Japanese club (I believe for Ł2.5 Mill) and loaned him to Union Saint-Gilloise for a season. He has now scored 4 goals in his last 6 games for Brighton.

Liverpool could have had 3 reds. In my mind they played like thugs. When the Mitoma goal went in justice was done. Good game! I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Originally posted by Willo The VAR might have concluded that the Yellow was sufficient or that the decision was not a "Clear and obvious error". In my humble opinion the tackle was robust but not "Atrocious" and the awarding of a yellow was the correct decision. Respectfully, we will have to agree to disagree. Edited by Willo (29 Jan 2023 6.44pm) I'm sure that was the VAR conclusion, which is a damning indictment of those involved. Call me crazy but a studs up tackle, from behind, nowhere near the ball which rakes down the opponents achilles is a red all day long. I'd class the Robertson one as robust and a yellow but never in a million years Fabinho's.

I'd class the Robertson one as robust and a yellow but never in a million years Fabinho's. To my mind Fabinho went to play the ball, he never lunged in from a distance, he was not out of control, contact made was not high.Of course he missed the ball and caught Ferguson's achilles this is not disputed but all-in-all I think a yellow was the correct decision. I accept that my view is not met with uniform agreement however HOL would be exceedingly dull if we all agreed with one another all the time ! Edited by Willo (29 Jan 2023 8.43pm)

It's frustrating (as a Palace fan) to have to admit that Brighton are playing well. Mitoma's goal was class - close control; quick thinking in a crowded penalty area and a sublime finish - totally bamboozled defender and Allison. The clear Ref error was not to call a foul when the Brighton player was pushed over just outside the box in the denial of a clear scoring opportunity. The Liverpool player should have been sent off.

Presumably Liverpool will get a new manager just before they play us. Red and Blue Army!

Sorry to prolong this thread, but I was fascinated to read an article in the paper today about Mitoma's background. When he was at university in Japan a few years ago, he studied the art of dribbling for his thesis. Can't imagine many of our lads doing that. [Link] Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Originally posted by cryrst This negates another date we can play our game at the Amex. If they win the next round I believe there will be none or very few dates available before seasons end. Brighton plod will be happy when it’s announced on a Monday that the game is the next day! I will let you know. My son is a Brighton based PC. Palace are his second team - for some reason he follows Blackburn Rovers.

He sounds like an undercover MI6 agent with a backstory so complicated it would be impossible to establish his origins/real identity. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
