No new injuries, just those we were already aware of.
Had apology from officials from first two goals last week. |  | | |  |

Thanks Phil.
Who did it, what with Kieran obviously being at Palace reading through his new contract?  |  |

Asked about Palace betting, full focus on Town. Doesn't pay attention to the speculation. | | | |

WTF does an apology do, though?
Tens, if not hundreds, of millions on the line, and we're supposed to just suck it up and say, 'I appreciate your honesty' and move on 3 points worse off?
The Championship should have VAR for offsides at the very least - I know there's an automated offside tech being trialled currently elsewhere. |  | | |

Gees, you know the officials have had a bad day when they apologise twice! |  | | |

Also, there should be more than apologies. They need to be held to account, just as managers, players and clubs are. They'd be very quick to fine the clubs £10s of thousands if there were player disturbances or crowd trouble, so let's have them sending some compensation the other way when they mess up. It might focus their minds on trying to get decisions correct.
I've seen these retrospective apologies a fair few times this season and don't think it goes any where near far enough. Even if compo isn't involved, they should at least be transparent about what went wrong and outline how they plan to address the issue to reduce the chance of it happening again. | |

Even at Championship level, we've got a league where there's tens of millions in money sloshing around, yet we're supposed to just accept clear and obvious errors.
It's not good enough by a long way. The technology is there and the EFL have the money in their own kitty to ensure all Championship grounds at least had offside technology. I can slightly accept referee decisions on the first goal, as the foul on Morsy is subjective - even though it was very clear - but offside decisions are simply black and white. There's no need for teams to have to suffer for them. | | | |

Isn't he in the PL Select Group of referees too? 🥴
That's twice this season we've had him isn't it? And he's fked up both times. Rotherham away where he missed an obvious pen appeal and Saturday's debacle. | |

Absolutely. When you're at the top end, there's something like £170M at risk if you miss out on promotion by only 1 or 2 points, isn't there.
Of course, the other way to make bad decisions far less consequential is to tackle the obscene financial inequality in the game. But that's not going to happen - far too much greed involved. | |

There are close offside calls like the 1st Rowe goal where you can have sympathy with the lino trying to make a call as its marginal. The offside last Sat wasn't close, very clear gap with the attacker having daylight between him and the Ipswich defender. Those can't be mistakes that you just shrug off. | | | |

Select group refs forget to ref the game and just allow on VAR to get them out of any major errors |  |

This is the problem with them dropping down into games in the EFL.
The Select Group Refs have essentially been de-skilled and are arguably worse at their job than those reffing consistently at Champ level. | | | |

We've got another one tomorrow too. David Coote. Presumably he made a big mistake last weekend. | | | |

No. It's just nonsense Frimmers. How would a manager motivate players when they all know he's off? Why would Gamechanger allow someone to manage all the millions involved with this club when they know his heart and head are elsewhere? | |

He could. Although:
(a) I'm not sure why he'd make that decision now given the position we're in, as we have a higher ceiling than palace IF we get into the PL,
(b) he seems fully invested into the 'project' here and things are going well, and
(c) his ceiling is potentially a lot higher than Palace (no disrespect to them, but if he can have a successful season in the PL I'd expect the top 6-8 to be sniffing around).
Palace would be guaranteed PL experience now of course, but will it still be come the end of the season? Probably, but they're not too far above the drop zone. | |

Its an interesting point. The technology and money are there, but I am not sure the public would want the interruption to the game. If you look at the NFL, there are 7 umpires/ referees on the pitch and a team of officials in the stadium and @ HQ in New York to mitigate such issues. They rarely get it wrong, and the times they do are often down to personal interpretation rather than flat-out getting it wrong. The game is very stop start in its nature. Would football fans be happy to wait a couple of minutes each time one of these decisions is referred for further analysis? All scoring incidents should be reviewed by default but again this comes at the cost of slowly down a free-flowing game. |  |

His last game was Spurs v Brentford on Jan 31st. Lost control of the game in the first half if I remember rightly. | |

What interruption would be required for offsides? It's as black and white as the goal line technology that Championship refs already have at their disposal. | | | |

Thanks for the info Phil.
I guess the officials think that an apology puts it all right !! |  | | |
