FA Cup Quarter-Final MATCH THREAD: Crystal Palace (H)

The absolute hypocrisy of Palace fans saying the Benteke incident was a 100% dive but yesterday was a stonewall penalty.

It happens we move on, had it been Vydra in the box taken out, it would be a pen right ? ..

Really? I thought he was Country Royal. I struggle to keep up.

Piazon on pitch I meant, not as lone striker ..

So why huff on about Cox, who would you have dropped for Piazon and who would you have put in Cox's place?

Same reason you bleat I suppose ! Cox has proved he is ineffective why persist with him when Piazon gives us a chance of scoring.

Apples with oranges unless you expect Piazon to play as the lone striker, or us to have no striker. You might as well complain about us playing Al-Habsi instead of Piazon, I mean Piazon's much more likely to score than him.

Exactly the same would be the case, it would be the softest penalty going, the defender should have known better and the attacker is a diving twat. Just like Long was often a diving twat.

It would have been pretty much the same but situations reversed.

Most Palace fans would be furious at the blatant dive, some would say it's part of the game, some would think it was a penalty.

Most of us would either say flat out it's a penalty or be trying to justify it, some would accept it's a dive but be grateful it went our way and others wouldn't be happy we won in such a manner.
