    ....and another ex-R, Damien Delaney, conceded the penalty allowing Liverpool to win 2-1 with 10 men.

    Perhaps learnt too much watching Rob Green on our bench?

    Crystal Palace 1-1 Liverpool
    Roberto Firmino

    Oh dear.

    Oh dear, oh dear.

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

    What a clanger from Palace keeper Alex McCarthy! He duffs a straightforward, run-of-the-mill, regulation clearance straight to Roberto Firmino, who takes a touch and strokes home.

    A complete and utter gift.

    All over! Damien Delaney's stoppage-time challenge proves costly and Palace are still without a win...

    GOAL - Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool
    Christian Benteke (Pen)

    Cool as you like! Christian Benteke delays, delays, and passes into the net! Pards hurls his coat to the deck.

    I really like Smithies. That was my point. McCarthy is better than Green, worse than Smithies.

    How on earth was that ever a penalty. It's decisions like that, that make me despair at football.

    Re: Pardew's comment regarding the linesman - same didn't apply for us yesterday.

    Football is a game of high and lows, I'm sorry to all you palace fans but I didn't mean to slip! Great support as always!

    Alan Pardew speaking to Sky Sports: “We didn't get any pressure on them when they went down to 10. Up to that we were good and deserved to be in front.

    “The keeper made a mistake, which cost us and made us edgy from that point and we never lost that edginess for the rest of the game.

    “He [Benteke] certainly made a big meal of it. If it had been us, we would not have got it.

    “I’m frustrated because I looked at the referee. He was not going to give it and then he looked at the linesman who gave it.

    “It was a game we should have come away with and we didn't.”

    Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew:
    "[Christian Benteke] is looking for it. Our player is pulling out of it. If the linesman gives it for the touch of the knee in the last minute I think it is harsh. Damien Delaney literally pulls out of it and the follow through of his knee gets it. Blimey, that's tough."

    "You've got to be 100% sure. In super slow motion the knee touches the foot and he goes over like he's been shot. In the last second of the game, are you going to give a penalty then?"

    Alan Pardew is clearly frustrated and has a bit of a tussle with Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves: "Let's not get into a debate here and you try to antagonise me. I don't want to get into a debate about this penalty, that's my opinion, let's move on."

    I blame the lawmakers rather than the referee (or lino in this case). The idea that "contact is a foul" is now established and there's no discouragement to stop players trying it.

    Two MK players booked for diving yesterday on top of two incredibly soft penalties. Not seen that for some time.

    I don't think I've ever seen a team get as many soft penalties as Liverpool always seem to do. It's as worse now as in the 80s for it - when Jan Molby won the Golden Boot 5 times in a row (all pens).
