It did go for a throw which was what I was mad about.

Fair enough playing on initially because Schlupp wasn't a head injury and rolled back onto the pitch. I wouldn't say this is unsportsmanlike though because just because he rolled back on, it didn't mean he could run back to his position and defend where he should be. He could barely walk for Christ sake!

The referee knew we had a man down not due to a red card and therefore in the interest of fairness should have done his upmost to get it back to 11 vs 11 as quickly as possible. That opportunity was the throw-in. Instead, he conciously made the decision he wanted to punish Shlupp for rolling back onto the pitch.

I do agree with what someone else posted though. If the ref is being a pretentious little git and Everton are refusing to put the ball out of play, one of our non-booked players should have 'mis-timed' a tackle and got a yellow, allowing every Palace player to run over to Schlupp and refuse to play on.

That's the problem with us, we're too nice. If a Man Utd player was down and the ref played on (he wouldn't but let's pretend), Rooney would probably grab the ref, spin him around and point him to the injured player and probably not even get a yellow for it.
