    Nicked right at the end. Palace should probably have won. Like last time, Beneteke can't put it away.

      What kind of crass stupid penalty decision was that? Aren't defenders allowed to defend anymore?
      Welbeck went down very late, and very suspiciously - look at his glance back as he dived! Dead giveaway.
      Why didn't the ref see that, even with a screen to help?

      Fascinating to see what the MotD team say later....

      And Milner might be out for a while now....

          ....has to be the greatest disappointment EVER....considering how unplayable he was at Aston Villa (for about 1 season before getting injured....did the physios do something to his feet and neck to skew his eye/limb alignment....)

                  Not a pen IMO but I thought Brighton were well worth their point.
                  I chuckled at Klopp blaming the BT reporter for choosing the 12:30 slot thereby causing Milner's injury,he did seem to back down in a later interview.

                    Another win for the Buddies, 2-1 against Aberdeen with a nice wee late winner...that's us in the quarters...hope for a decent draw. Big Jim's peg much less shoogly on the peg this week than it was last Saturday morning.

                      On your side, JLW. Both in desperation went for same ball and got tangled - where's the pen in that?

                        Absolutely. Both players went for a loose ball, Robertson's foot met Welbeck's, Hendo cleared, Welbeck having felt no disadvantage threw himself over to get the ref's attention (this latter fact unmentioned in any commentary, all obsessed with the contact and VAR - but it was a human subjective decision)..

                        It is a foul to kick an opponent. But its also time for the VAR Refs to remember intention, "benefit of the doubt" and "balance of advantage"...

                        Sorry to go on but this one really hurt....

                          AND, givne Salah given offside by half a toenail......................? I mean are they actually trying to bring VAR into total disrepute or is it music hall mockery?
                          AND how the heck Pickford got [AFAICR] neither card, nor penalty in the infamous match v Everton, and damaged Van Dijk to the point of exclusion and misery for MONTHS....just beats me too.

                          That too on VAR, yes, but as the result..............? Nowt.

                          Bah.

                            Beaten in the end by the better team today, though still disappointed. A point would have been nice.
                            Again below our best today, probably in part due to the absence of Ings and Redmond.
                            Uniteds attack against our defence is only likely to end one way.
                            Good game I suppose.......mumble grumble........

                              I don’t know what to say ts. If I said I’m sorry I’d be lying, wouldn’t I?

                              Not sure that I agree that you were “beaten in the end by the better team today”, as I thought the way you turned the game on its head after the first 15 minutes or so, was amazing.

                              Not saying this to make you feel better, but if you were to bet me a pint that we’ll finish higher than you, then I tell you honestly, I’m not sure I would accept.

                              You may have been beaten by the better team, but good grief do you have the better manager!

                              Best wishes,
