Nick Ames was at Selhurst Park tonight. His verdict is in, and here it is. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!
Roy Hodgson talks to ITV. “It was a missed opportunity in the last ten or 15 minutes when we were playing against ten men but over the whole of the game both teams defended pretty well … it was a game of few chances … both teams worked very hard to stop the other team … if you look at it philosophically, those sort of games end nil-nil or a win for one team through a moment of magic … we didn’t have that today unfortunately … they deserved their draw … we face a replay that neither I nor Sean would have wanted before the game … I don’t know if I can understand [VAR decisions] these days … I don’t know what to make of it … a lot of people who played in the past would say that’s not a red card … but people playing recently would say it was because of the way the studs were up and he was leading with a straight leg … it’s unfortunate because it wasn’t a vicious foul … if the decision was red, so be it, but I’m not prepared to come out and say definitely it was or wasn’t … it’s a modern-day situation.”
