Looking at this a few times ,from Friends angle, which was behind the incident. It was clear that even allowing for Wilfs little bit of contact, Grealish ploughed on, he even put his hip and leg into Cahill, so as to make it a bigger contact than was actually the case. Before not falling in a heap, but leaping forward for max effect. Friend had already bought it more than once, he obviously got a better look at the technic behind it this time.

MOTD were pretty clueless really. Their's was the "howler". It ought to be obvious why once the referee blows his whistle play has stopped - VAR hasn't changed that. Since the ball went in the net after play had stopped whatever else it was, it was NOT A GOAL. This is basic stuff! Lineker & Co were certain the referee was mistaken in thinking Grealish dived - but gave no proper reason why. Jermaine Jenas said he couldn't have dived because he passed the ball - bizarre logic! If anything it shows it was a dive since Grealish was stable enough to pass the ball but apparently not to stay on his feet. There was no contact on Grealish in the box - no one touched him until he dived at Gary Cahill. There was possible contact from Zaha outside the box. But a free kick decision is NOT within the scope of VAR - so VAR could not have overturned the referee's decision not to give a free kick. It's possible that Villa should have got a free kick. But no one in the studio consider this and we didn't see any close ups to check if there was actually contact from Zaha. Most games have several controversial free kick decisions with barely a mention from the MOTD studio - these hysterics were so OTT. Tim Cahill said that the referee should have allowed play to continue. Is that a new rule that Tim C has invented? The infringement was by Villa player and there was clearly no advantage to Palace from allowing play to continue so why wouldn't a referee stop play? Apparently so that VAR can reverse his decision. That's not a rule that I am aware of - have I missed something ? So Villa may have cause to feel aggrieved that they didn't get a free kick in a very dangerous position - but nothing more than that. 1-0

Palace popularity is poor and I thought Match of the Day was shocking! Not a word about the game or how Palace dominated for most just all about the penalty claim. I also feel that the boy Grealish will make a rod for his own back. Although a talented player he is petulant and spends a large majority of the game on his arse! This in itself makes it very difficult for referees to decide if it’s a genuine foul or if he’s throwing himself to the floor. reminds me of wilf :P

Ironically if Grealish had stayed on his feet it would have ended 1-1. Villa fans should feel aggrieved by Grealish diving - he cost them the game.

Perhaps our players having heard a whistle never made strenuous efforts to keep out the shot.Just a thought, I don't know for certain if this was the case. At the end of the day, it would have been an injustice if A.Villa got a draw.I expected more of them.

I believe I was the first to highlight the nonsense spouted by T Cahill The PL statement does make sense. In short, VAR didn't review per se whether Grealish dove; it checked whether there was any cause to award a penalty. Although the two things are effectively rolled into one on this occasion, they are two distinctly different issues.

Supporters are totally confused as to when VAR is used, whether it was used,if it being used to review an incident at a game they are watching etc etc etc.The whole business of VAR is shrouded in confusion which leads to misunderstanding.

Yes I concede that. I believe the modern phrase is that "it requires more education".

Slightly off the VAR thing, but for me another worrying aspect coming out of this is , how Friend , is being slagged off by a succession of not just ex players, but any number of ex refs .some only recently finished.
