He does go down easily - but he does that all over the pitch. His upper body strength seems poor. When I played my biggest asset was speed and I can assure you that when you are running at top speed it doesn't need much contact to send you flying, a gentle sideways nudge, a slight tap on the ankle is all it takes.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Potential Wilf ban?' by Midlands Eagle How long does it normally take “the panel” to make their decision? With games coming thick and fast and Ashley Young banned within less than 24 hours I presume we’ll know tomorrow. My main concern that any ban will rule him out of The Weed game! The panel can look at Puncheon ... he's too slow these days. I can't see any issue at all with the Wilf penalty (although I wish someone would tell him not to openly celebrate getting a penalty) and I can't see Wilf playing in our U23s facing Brighton next week.

Statistics show Wilf to be one of the most fouled players in the Prem and that doesn’t include the countless fouls we all see but are not penalised by refs. Is it any surprise that he anticipates these fouls and goes down to ensure they are penalised ? The opposition know that they can’t leave him alone because then he would destroy them so they lean on him and he goes down - and that is a foul and a pen in the area.

I agree with Henry of Peckham. Wilf always looks far too exultant when he “wins” a penalty. It would be better if his expression was more neutral - or even disgruntled at having been fouled. Incidentally, isn’t it time for him to step up to the plate - and take a penalty himself? Who’s turn is it next ?

He won't. Great picture. This should be used as evidence. Clearly shows Sterling holding him back by the hand, which whether you like it or not is not allowed. Penalty no doubt. Just because Wilf falls over through loss of balance is irrelevant. Definate offence by Sterling who should of been booked for the foul.

Are you serious? seeing what you see is not allowed when not "supportive"? There is some place for objectivity wouldn't you think? Yes at 3 hours after midnight here in Spain on New Years with much drink and a Passion for Palace I was deadly serious. Reasons or objectivity ? 1. How many decisions have I seen go against Palace that have been blatantly wrong ? Far more than I have seen go for us . So when we get anything go for us I am not going to question it or our players attitude in gaining that advantage. 2. Wilf's attitude towards our club and our team is 100% Palace, he puts it out there week in week out , getting getting kicked and fouled and nothing given many times so when he seems to help sway decisions in his favour sometimes I am not going to criticise him for it. If he stops doing this , which many other players in other teams do , the refs will not suddenly decide to give us the other decisions they are not giving us now and the others players in other team will still carry on doing what they do. 3. Was it definitely not penalty ? I don't think anyone can be conclusive on that , Sterling all over him and panicking .I think there is more of an argument for a penalty hence I will take what we are given thank you and give the benefit of the doubt to our player . That's about as objective as I can get and obviously my Palace pride and passion may just get in the way a little bit.

Appreciate your reasoning MK and to a certain extent I am with you. I don't see thinking we get a decision in our favor unfairly, as not supportive. And I am no stranger to a certain amount of hypocrisy either,as I would have celebrated a winner from the spot with a dance around the lounge table. For obvious reasons I can only make a limited amount of games a season but in the ground I don't think anyone could accuse me of not being supportive. However, I strongly feel about the whole game and the deliberate going for penalties and fouls in the box, overdoing contact, trailing your own leg or blatant diving. This was an example in my book of: not a dive, nor a penalty. Sterling was stupid to put his hand on Wilf, Wilf "made the most of it". I am not slagging him for that but as a whole, I do not like it in the game and feel it should not matter whether that is our own player or not. Enjoy the red and blue glasses , don't think we have different wants in how things pan out. Originally posted by MKCPFC

I have warned you before about supporting our players when they are being criticised by others MK. By the way you write much more eloquently when you are pissed !
