Looked like a dive to me, but the referee was in a perfect position

No foul for me, the forward looks off balance, making it worse than it looks

Quite agree about disallowing the second Costa, he actually makes contact with the defender's head. Dangerous play.

Charging or shoulder to shoulder. Charging and a FK for me.

No offside

I would have thought the greater punishment was not to ban him from watching Villa

How did anyone argue against that???

Nice one. Good to get some positive feedback.

I should hope so!!

It was good, brave officiating by the two officials. As a Millwall fan, I was gutted to see Palace loose in the last minute against 10 men.

Ridiculous. What was he thinking???

Can't believe there is a debate, two yellows. As for Van Gaal's rubbish about he not being that type of player, almost as stupid as Pardew's comment that penalties should not be given in the last minute.

I find it odd that county FA's do not require registration and team sheets. I would be reluctant to do a league without team sheets.

Not so much now. I got to grade 5 classical guitar. You think refereeing hard, you want to try that!! I shall pick it up again in my dotage...

Telegraph cryptic crosswords (you would be amazed how many times 'ref' appears in a clue), bird watching, play golf off 6, that's it.

I have had situations where a player has come up to me and said "Red number 5 just made a racist remark to me". Do you send red number 5 off??

No, you are right. The AR should have alerted the referee, stopped the game, consulted the AR as to what had happened and sent the Chelsea player off if that was what he thought was correct.

If someone offered my £300 to put my referee's kit on and lean against a post, I would be off like a shot...
