Don't laugh, but I'm a bit sensitive, and some of the things that people say on these threads upset me.

So much so that I can't get the thoughts out of my head.

For example, in a game where palace were denied two clear penalties, a lot of posters told me: "Well we were playing like sh*t and we didn't deserve anything"

I hadn't realised that football was run along altruistic lines.

Does that mean that, if Palace get awarded a spot kick against Man City against the run of play, then Benteke should deliberately miss the penalty?

Maybe he could tamely sidefoot the ball at their keeper.

Conversely, I wrote to Liverpool, to ask for our three points back, after they absolutely stole a game against us last year.

They haven't replied yet. Either they are really putting a lot of thought into their response, or the letter has gone missing.

Can any football experts help me?

Are Palace not allowed to win games, or even get penalties, unless certain economic conditions are met?

(whereas Moan United and Chelsea can do whatever they like to win)

Is that how it works?

Please help

In short.

People on this board often explain the fact that Palace get denied multiple penalties during games because "the way we were playing we didn't deserve a penalty."

I'm saying.... it doesn't work like that.

If fairness comes into football, maybe we should all write to Gary Lineker and say "you don't deserve all that money, would you like to give it back?"

I only read it once but that was because I hadn't spotted who started the thread as I normally avoid his rubbish

Thanks Midlands Eagle

I take it as a great compliment that you read to the end, despite the pre-conception that I write rubbish.

That has made my day!

All my Christmases have come at once!

How come everyone is paying me compliments all of a sudden?

Thanks Tez

Good point Bubble Wrap

You squeezed that issue to a logical conclusion with a satisfying pop.

I too am slightly embarrassed by players that go down too easily.

The worst are the ones who feign injury.

The crowd should start chanting (to the tune of One Team in London)
