Maybe, but a sneaky one nil win with 11 players would be even better.


I know. Just trying to be glass half full.

Quoted from Hagrid
Just read an interview with Mckeown in the Independent. Says Fox is the nicest man he’s met in football and his wife had flown over from the US to see the game, poor bloke. I have no ill feeling towards him at all


Sorry but that's both tragic and hilarious at the same time! Poor guy must be absolutely distraught! Chance to show his better half his prowess and she's travelled for hours to see him and a fair expense, and he probably didn't even break sweat..... Lolz.

You say it was a red, but the most experienced referee in the Premier League was standing 5 yards away, and taking all the circumstances into account decided it was a yellow card. He had to take into account several factors and his experience told him a yellow would have settled everybody down, and we would have had a great game at 11 v 11 which is what everyone had come to see.

I am sure Fox bitterly regrets diving in like that, but the occasion clearly got him too pumped up and a yellow card and a stern warning should have been the end of it.


VAR gave it a red , TV replays say red. Ref said yellow untill VAR stepped in.  He may be an experienced ref but by the letter of the law got it wrong. I believe he didnt want to send Fox off  but had no choice.  My argument is none VAR games allowed players to get away with bad  tackles.

It could be a while before he sees the funny side.........if it exists. Truly poignant moment.

More importantly, is Fox definitely going? Seems to be roundly assumed that he’s on his way, though without any concrete evidence. Would be great if we were able to keep hold of him.

He did have the choice,the final decision is with the ref.
However seeing he never even reviewed it the decision was effectively made by VAR (Which was correct)

i tend to agree with most, it was a red card, but the ref gave yellow. without VAR we would of had 11 men on the pitch and Palace would have had a serious game on their hands. If all the games had VAR i wouldnt have minded but they didnt. Watching other games without VAR some players got away with not been sent off . Just appears unfair IMHO. Team were excellent , Support fantastic.  UTM.


Now I've calmed down I can see why the red was given. On explaining what happened to a colleague today, he asked me 'do all FA Cup games have VAR then?', 'no, just the ones at Premiership grounds.' 'How is that fair?' was his reaction.

It'll be our last chance then on Saturday so let's have a rousing rendition of: he was one of our own, he was one of our own Andrew Fox he was one of our own...










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.
