I have this memory of a game back in the mid 60s, away from home, where in the last second of the game we had a shot on goal. As the ball flew through the air the ref. blew for full-time. The ball continued on its way into the net but was disallowed as the whistle had gone a fraction of a second before it crossed the line. Something tells me it was an away game at Birmingham. Does anyone else (of a certain age) recall this incident?

Think it was an Alan Stephenson header from a corner. Also think the referee was Clive Thomas, it was definitely at Birmingham and we lost by the odd goal but I don't know which game it was. He blew while the ball was in the air and a year or so after that they changed the rules to stop that from happening again.

I have been looking back at some old Palace fixtures at Birmingham and I think it might have been the opening game of the season at St Andrews in 1965 when we went down 1-2. Anyway thanks for confirming that I wasn't imagining this.

Referee is sole arbiter of time and can blow whenever he likes. But let's NOT get into a refereeing debate as it will only evolve into yet another wearisome WILLO thread.

No 'Goal Decision System' next season for us if we are relegated.

I was there as well, we were right in that corner wasn't we, which made it even harder to take because we had a perfect view of it flying in!!!

Jimmy Hill was a qualified referee and actually ran the line at Arsenal v Liverpool when the linesman got injured.Remember this well !
