this happened at coventry in the late 70's and, guess what, it was palace again. i was at the match at the opposite end of the ground when clive allen blasted one in from a 25 yard free kick. it hit the stantion and came out. everyone and i mean everyone except the ref could see it was a goal, even from the opposite end. the players reactions gave most of it away. palace lost 3-2 as well.

that one yesterday was much worse, imho.

What ever the rights and wrongs about Warnack, the Bristol City players shoul've gifted Palace a goal to make up for it. The integrety of the game is more important than any other issues. You play hard, you play fair.

I agree with you on this.It was done quite recently but i cant remember the teams involved apart from it might be Chesterfield or Carlisle who where one of the teams involved.

ON a slightly different point.....................what is the difference of a side claiming a goal when we really know the whole ball did not cross the line ?


Is it not the same thing ?


I remember City vs Liverpool and David White 'scoring' one that never crossed the line for a late winner............I took it and have never felt guilty about it since...........thems the breaks in sport.

Terrible decision but apart from Baconface I couldn't think of another manager I'd more like it to happen to.

I really hope Tevez plays in the cup match against Palace and scores . . . we can have a right laugh at Warnock if it does

The Bristol City manager said yesterday that he would have let them score a free goal, as he has done in the past, but was told by the referee and 4th official at the time that it was not allowed because of a foul.
