FA Cup Final: Palace - Man City

[CygnusX1]

After working in Croydon for 8 years, I’d love to see Palace win.

After watching Man City for the last 15 years (especially the last 9), I'd also love to see Palace win.

Wouldn't put money on it though.

My Mrs is a huge Palace fan and Croydon born

Thankfully my kids are Jacks

My dislike of Pep/Citeh/Fa cup I've long documented, and won't change today.
Fck em.

Personally I'd like to see Croydon hit with a tactical nuclear strike. Horrible place

Gooaaallllll

 

[Neath_Jack]

Always the underdog for me.

Come on City

Only joking, UppaPalace!

Yes Henderson!

Was a penalty, but one of those annoying professional ones where Silva sees the defender coming, makes a tiny touch knowing he won't get to the ball, then falls over the defender's legs.

Justice that for me.
Surprised that VAR didn't overturn that penalty as the defender got a touch to the ball, albeit a faint one

It’s bizarre how VAR fails to see these things.
“The player doesn’t play the ball”, my arse

Would have been absolutely livid if I was a Palace supporter and City had scored from that penalty
The touch by the defender was faint but clearly there

Keeper should be off the pitch, and it wasn't a pen. VAR having a mare.

If you're talking about the potential handball by Henderson, I was confused why the commentator and Shearer were going on about 'the ball going away from the goal'. If the keeper has handled outside the area, it's a freekick and potential red card, what does the direction of the ball have to do with it?

Having said that, I thought it was hard to tell from the replays if it was outside the area or not, so Henderson got lucky.

Yeah, haven’t seen a clear replay to show if the was outside the box, but it certainly looked like it

Edit: Ok, seen the replay. He should be off
