Dale’s tirade on the matter has been bizarre.

A ruling so ‘damning’ that the panel did not even unanimously vote that it was a red card.

It was a red card, but the appeal was completely warranted because of the circumstances of the tackle and other VAR decisions.

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

Damning comments by the FA's regulatory commission on Jean-Philippe Mateta's failed red card appeal.

States that Spurs defender Micky van de Ven was "fortunate not to have suffered a debilitating injury".

Appeal unanimously rejected on all grounds.

@lucask741 I am worried

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

Using Igor Tudor to make a point 🤣

#CPFC

[Spurs Army @SpursArmyTweets]

Palace fans, just to give you an idea of what you’re getting with the appointment of Thomas Frank…

When Igor Tudor joined as Interim Head Coach in FEBRUARY, he conducted pre-season FITNESS TRAINING in his first sessions. 🏃‍♂️

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

@SJGTHFC I think you'll find that the issue at Spurs was bigger than fitness issues lol

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

Is there anything more on brand for this Manchester United board than appointing Pochettino for A LOT of money in big ol’ 2026?

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United finalising deal to appoint Mauricio Pochettino if ultimate decision made to replace Michael Carrick. 54yo lined up & terms being done with camp. #MUFC yet to contact US but straight-forward should plan proceed @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/YTEGRxbVpF

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

There's no point in reviewing stats from Brentford. The club is run on data to support the outcomes discussed in this thread.

I'm not discrediting Frank but to credit him with Brentford's successes doesn't make any sense!

🦅 Thomas Frank to Palace?

Well, it looks increasingly likely. So naturally, I’ve spent far too much of my Sunday + evening going through
Brentford stats and Tottenham tactical footage.

Turns out there’s a lot more to Frank than sitting deep and launching long throws.

Here’s what I found, what worries me and why I think he could actually suit Palace. 🧵👇

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

@henryswainjourn Holiday given by who? The manager about to be sacked? 🤣

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

I’m sure Thomas Frank(?) will be thrilled at having to wait even longer to get on the training ground whilst this gets resolved!

#CPFC

[Ed Aarons @ed_aarons]

Understand Palace could avoid having to pay Pierre Sage significant compensation if he is re-appointed by former club Lens. Their president has remained in close contact with Sage and is thought to favour bringing him back. Could help explain the delay in announcing his sacking

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

Wilfried Zaha, making players and fans look stupid since 2010.

#CPFC #WHUFC

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

@HLTCO Double cheeky and double the time 🤣

Paddy in charge for Coventry at that rate

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

@Sam__CPFC Slightly different circumstances - we were flirting with the drop but not completely doomed. Plus, Hodgson’s health etc.

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

We are far from adrift and it doesn’t take a miracle worker to keep us up but there is just no chance Steve Parish goes for a manager with no PL experience mid-season.

#CPFC

[James Savundra @JamesSavundra]

Exclusive: #CrystalPalace have identified Jens Berthel Askou and Ole Werner as potential options to replace Pierre Sage. Frenchman still currently remains in position but set to be sacked in next 24 hours. Reporting with @chrisreidy1 #CPFC https://t.co/SzJqhbyslO

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

The article is interesting but “One well-placed source told Daily Mail Sport that the disruption to the club’s business operations has the hallmarks of a club heading for relegation” is literally not quantifiable.

(Though clearly we are a mess at a business level).

#CPFC

[Bobby Manzi @BobbyManzi]

🚨 Pierre Sage will be informed today that he's been sacked as Crystal Palace manager

🕓 Players frustrated by 4pm training sessions + training ground dinners
🫣 #CPFC first considered managerial change in September
❌ Not enough defensive training

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

Wingbacks and centre mids pushing too far forward and leaving the centre backs exposed. It's why we've conceded more to centre mids than any other team (9 goals). That Wirtz goal was the most typical example of it. Don't get me started on defensive set pieces.

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

Whilst I agree we've not recruited well enough, the core group of players is similar enough.

Sage has been unlucky with suspensions and injuries, but this needs to be taken into account regarding tactics.

We've seen the goals Liverpool scored happen all season.

#CPFC

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

It's tough to find the board/DoF issue but easier to fix the coaching team, who clearly can't fix the glaring issues we're seeing every single game.

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

It’s a bit harsh that they’ve asked Thomas Frank to report on this story

#CPFC

[The Sun Football ⚽ @TheSunFootball]

EXCL: Pierre Sage has been sacked by Crystal Palace 🚨

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

@TomDutty Not sure what the fumigation setup would be here

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

#CPFC

[Liam© @LiamBCPFC]

Sage hung out to dry massively

[CPFC HQ @CPFCHQ]

I'll support Frank if it happens but this is my issue with signing a (ex) manager of Brentford or Brighton.

Our setup is not the same.

#CPFC

[Hive @BrentfordHive]

@R_P_MD I think it was largely down to the setup we have in place but he still played an important role
