Port Said Red Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Maybe I am just a naturally suspicious person, but does anyone else think the whole thing should be investigated? A few years back the papers were full of stories about betting syndicates influencing games, but that seems to have gone quiet lately. I wonder what they would find if they looked into the bets placed on this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's everything else leading up to it. They have a regular penalty taker who has not missed yet, he had already taken and scored one earlier in the game, and was still one the pitch. Benteke insisted on taking it with all his teammates trying to stop him, and he pretty much rolled it straight at the keeper. Hodgson was fuming and said it was "a unilateral decision" by Benteke.

It wasn't so much that it was a bad penalty ( it was) but how it came about. Palace had scored earlier in the game through their regular penalty taker, Milivojevic. When it came to their last minute penalty, Benteke snatched the ball from Milivojevic to take it himself and then made a right hash of it. Roy Hodgson could barely suppress his anger on MOTD and I bet Benteke is the favourite person in the Palace dressing room! P.S. See Port Said Red posted pretty well the same thing.

Red Skin Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Completely selfish act and for someone playing without any confidence abolutely baffling. Even more so considering the Palace penalty taker had tucked one away so well earlier in the game. I'd drop him and make him train with the stiffs for a week.

I think it was more about an extremely selfish and arrogant player trying to get his first goal of the season than anything else. I don't think he missed on purpose - it you were doing that then you'd probably be good enough to hit the bar or post or just 'hit it too well'. Anyway it's such a funny thing to happen unless you're a Palace fan. He's got over 2.5 years left on his contract so I don't think they'll be able to dump him from first team plans completely but I expect he'll be training with the U23's or on hi sown for a bit.

The whole episode is horrendous, the arrogant and average overpaid **** decides that he is the only one in the Palace side who is good enough to take this penalty, even though a team mate had taken a perfectly good penalty earlier in the game, my question is where was the captain whilst this circus was playing out?, this is when you need a captain who can make sure that the managers tactics/plan are carried out to the letter but nobody had the balls to stand up to this tosser. In an ideal world he should be transfer listed and left to rot. And it is suspicious IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 You just need to look at all the other Palace players to see how wrong he was to be taking it. One even gestured to the bench with a shrug of the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The penalty itself is probably matched by others this year, but the keeper guesses the right way. Obviously the overall situation is ridiculous.
