Get in there Fulham, plenty of energy and desire.
Come on Fulham, plenty to play for! Record points tally, mathematicaly guaranteed top half finish, a small chance of Europe. Hopefully we can get the win today.
COYW!! ::scarf::
fake blood...
Willian is cooking
Willian is feeling frisky.
That was a penalty
That looked like much more of a penalty than several of the ones we have had against us lately...
That defender got away with one there. Definitely caught Mitro there even if it wasn't intentional.
That was a definite penalty
We are clearly the better team, but we now need a goal
They have been sent out to rough us up and retaliate.
Typical Hodgson strategy. Contain us for half an hour then all out attack till halftime. i.e. draw us forward then hit us with a fast attack..
4 players hit in the face now
Should have been a yellow for Ayew just now, but not even a free kick awarded... ref is looking like a true bottle job.
Why is that not a foul? even if he didn't intend it, an arm to the face is a foul!
That was a forearm smash! No foul. ::oh::
Why can't I get commentry on the Official site?
shoot that Tom

Just checked and I got GJ to play for me.
Well defended there but that was the warning
Palace very dangerous on the break. Fullbacks need to be careful with the space behind them
Tony Gale commentating is rubbish
Neither can I
lazy
there you go..... merde!
Welp, saw that coming a mile away. poo corner and great counter attack.
Rubbish defending all around
For God's sake.....

In what way?
As I said. They're dangerous on the counter..
Jamie thinks Palace don't deserve that. Why not? it's their style.
Not concerned. I fully expect us to win this
We're a bit predictable at the moment, and getting sucked in.... Crowded penalty area - very frustrating and difficult to break down.
Its just not clicking at the moment
Come on Fulham, find the equalizer before the break ::scarf::
Poor decisions in attack so far
We have enough quality to score but just not on the same wavelength as eachother yet
not a yellow?
He brings his knee and foot up head high on Reed there and no card. WTF!
Palace organised in classic Roy fashion
Likely gonna be hard to break down from heee
Mitro doesnt seem to be in the middle of the box enough. He seems too shallow when the crosses come in
This ref has been terrible
pk
yesss.... come on Mitro...
still no card?
mitro!!
YEEEES
M I T R O !!!!!!
COYSW ::scarf::
great penalty
Quote from: LittleErn on May 20, 2023, 03:51:59 PMgreat penalty
Can't believe how nervous I was about that one. Great penalty there by Mitro. That's how it's done.
I cant believe Mitchell hasnt been booked this half
Sh*t referees and sh*t set pieces from us. We're much better than them, hopefully we will show it in the next half.
Cairney needs to be braver, he had two excellent opportunities to shoot but he passed instead. Brilliant pass from Mitro before the penalty and very well taken penalty as well. Tosin has been excellent.

Well, mocking the facial injuries, not thinking that a forearm smash was a yellow card offence, scrubbing round the first penalty appeal....apart from that he's been brilliant.
Or Hughes
we miss Pereira's free kicks.
Mitro has been back 90 minutes and scored twice
Palace will just keep sticking the boot and arm in as the ref decides to ignore their reckless challenges but wait until our boys make a few tackles in the 2nd half and we rack up the cards.
Quote from: St Eve on May 20, 2023, 04:00:14 PMMitro has been back 90 minutes and scored twice
He's a Fulham legend, what else can be said
9 fouls, no yellows for Palace. I guarantee the next foul we give away will be a booking.
OH NO...
What a miss
Not used to kicking towards the Putney end in the second half Mitro?
Vini would have made that... ::tongue:: ::tongue:: ::tongue::

guilty ::ahah::
Cairney hasnt had a particularly good game
Solomon time soon. He will rip their defence to pieces
Quote from: Caedal on May 20, 2023, 04:18:59 PMCairney hasnt had a particularly good game
I think he has been quite good, many good passes and he gets stuck in as well. One of our better players in my opinion.
Yess Mitro again!
Time for a couple changes I think
MITRO!!!! ::yay::
mitro 2
YEEEEES
T H E G U V N O R!!!!
MITROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ::scarf::
I'll let him off his miss now Missfit!
I told you not to be concerned
at least a half dozen fouls for Mitchell (sp?) :023:
Quote from: St Eve on May 20, 2023, 04:20:47 PMSolomon time soon. He will rip their defence to pieces
Might be the right man for this type of game. Quick feet in the penalty area, but not at the expense of Willian.
TOP MAN ⚽️⚽️
Lets us hope there are no unforced errors in defence.
That was a heck of shot there by Willian. What a player he has been for Fulham this season.
What a lay off from Mitro
great move from defence to attack
TC's been a bit off with his crossing and corners today.
Hope he proves me wrong.
now he takes out the yellow?
Commentators complaining that Willian moved the ball a couple of yards for the free kick that lead to Mitro scoring. Get over it and stop making something out of nothing ::angry::
Of course we got the first yellow. Unbelievable, really.
now I get it... ref's PL debut.
HAHA Mitchell commits 7 or 8 fouls and doesnt get booked, and Tosin gets booked for time wasting
The ref will be ultra cautious in his first game - he'll only give things that he's certain about.
Sloppy by Palhinha, but it was a clear foul against him though.
palhinha getting caught in possession there. slowing down the game too much if you ask me.
We need fresh legs now
Solomon can be a match winner - he can also give the ball away and put us on the back foot.
Tosin lucky not to get a second yellow there
timely interception from tete
Everton look doomed
Palace will go for it now. Nothing to lose
We must keep our shape and balance and not defend too deep.
Robinson overcommited there. Good work from Diop
giving the ball away everywhere
The referee has helped Palace a tremendous amount today...
bs
let's not lose our heads.
I guess the ball came from a Fulham player, because 4 palace players including the scorer were offside otherwise.
What's happened? We have switched off
Offside?
Totally switched off since our goal
Shouldn't have subbed TC, Palhinha and Reed has been really poor second half.
cant see us scoring and cant see us hanging on either
Theres 4 players offside there surely?
Came off Robinson, so they cant be offside
Just stopped playing and competing for the ball now
This is a typical Hodgson game plan. He did this all the time when he was our manager.
Our midfield has completely disappeared
We need a bit more composure now - must stop diving in and rushing things. We can still win this.
Shouldn't have even been a free kick leading to the goal, of course we get the ref whose wet behind the ears on his first game and falling for every trick in the book
We look really tired. Just offered nothing to the game the last 20 mins
Disaster approaching.....

Agree, simply a pathetic display from the referee.
the fresh legs havent worked
Quote from: Caedal on May 20, 2023, 04:55:15 PMWe look really tired. Just offered nothing to the game the last 20 mins
yep
meh
Well, that was a point we didn't deserve.
Awful finish to the game there.
as they say.. oh well.
No leadership across the back, playing like Rabbits in headlights.
That was a really disappointing second half performance after Mitro scored
Quote from: YankeeJim on May 20, 2023, 04:56:51 PMWell, that was a point we didn't deserve.
Of course we did. We were the far, far superior team for around 70-75 minutes. In balance we deserved at least a point, maybe three. Poor last 15-20 minutes though.

good description. I was thinking, do they even talk to each other...

I doubt it going by the unforced errors.
