Yellow cards for the Capoue tackle and the tackle by the Huddersfield thug on Saturday just give the thugs the green light to put a career threatening tackle in on Wilf every game and not get sent off. Get booked ? no problem pass the fouling onto a team mate that has not been booked. I disagree, I think that it was given a yellow as the ref was Attempting to Be lenient as it was early in the game; which Is wrong, such things should not determine punishment. Also, a Couple of seasons back i remember there was a game where Hazard was obviously Targeted - which i think was the last time this issue came up. So the Fact that it was Zaha not Hazard had no affect on the decision. "It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

By coming onto MOD and complaining so vehemently Wilf has only shown his concern. This will be noted by other defenders and will be used to intimidate Wilf more. Palace need to be clever. If Wilf is so marked, by at least two players all the time and more when he has the ball, this must release space for others to use. I do not see much of that. I wonder how defenders would feel,if Wilf went so deep these defenders were well out of position? It is an open field for someone.

We can't have double morals about this. Thats all well and good; but we're not in that era now are we. Tackling is an art, a combination of timing and decision making. Its eradication has left us with players that do not know how to win a ball cleanly anymore, and as such with players that a far more finely tuned than those of yesteryear (even the 90's) it more dangerous. In the good old days you could slide in, win the ball as the opponent flies over your head on a muddy wet pitch. It was deemed a good tackle then...not now. So lets not fall into the trap of comparing it the anything we used to do or see 20 years ago....like Lineker and Shearer did The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

Different types of tackling though...in Spain you get more 'cynical' nudges, blocking and pulling...we're talking about potentially career threatening tackles in the Watford and Huddersfield scenarios. Messi get crowded out most of the time, not assaulted in a one on one situation. The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

My point is some Palace fans like our defenders to let some opposition players know they are 'in England' but don't like it when it happens to our players. How many Palace fans just 4 years ago liked it when Suarez, Terry, etc got tough tackled and blatantly fouled? When Jedi was giving out no-nonsense tackles in midfield? How about Man City at home last season? As I said, I am not saying it is okay for Zaha to get kicked but some Palace fans don't mind us dishing it out but don't like it when some clubs come up and give it to us. Football is a contact sport. Zaha complaining that he feels he can't do some skills because he might get fouled isn't getting sympathy from me because if Ronaldo was playing against us I'd hope he'd not be allowed to pis about like he used to.

Bearing in mind the referee booked the players and as far as I can recall VAR for reds card offences was to sort out mistaken Id ?
