Dean Henderson

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Apparently Pep's tantrum at the end of the match at Hendo was about him time wasting.
Pep was angry because, even though they got 10 minutes added on, it broke up the rhythm of their play

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Apologies if already shared.

Touching tribute, a favourite song from my teenage years too.

Really happy for Hendo.

 

[Gimli]

Pretty sure Hendo was also won this years coveted ‘lid twat’ award

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Maybe they should adopt the Rugby and American way. After a VAR decision is made the referee should be mic'd up and explain the decision.

That or simplify the rules. If a keeper handles outside the area then that's that.

Just watching the FA cup final again, the reaction of the Palace fans as Henderson saves the penalty is priceless. Reminds me of our home night game against West Ham, celebrated like another goal.
VAR saved us that night.

Another one to well you up...

If the Hendo moment had happened against us what would your thoughts be?

But it wasn’t so who cares?

 

[Kendal]

He wasn't the first, and it was someone behind who put it there. But who cares? Pleased for him.
Now, let's do it next Saturday. I reckon, as an occasion, doing it at Wembley will outdo winning the actual league.

Let's knock off that controversial goal in 1966 to show a score of 3-2. Makes no difference - we still win/won.

The game tactics might change at 2-2 though

 

[The Crab]

And this is why I've got fuck all interest in us getting back in the "Premier" League. Endless fucking debates about fucking VAR. Where the fuck is the fucking football in all this fucking shite.

Only 95%. What do you have to do to get recognised round here?

Fuck knows…

 

[The Crab]

If the Hendo moment had happened against us what would your thoughts be?

Firstly, delighted for Hendo and Palace.

But…

It was handball outside the box. Whatever Haalands direction of travel was, I was always under the impression that any keeper handling outside the box is a red?

But happy Palace won

The ref was wrong in awarding the free kick that led to the Germans equaliser. Jack Charlton won a header fairly and squarely.

I say Var is spoiling the game. Glad Man City lost.
Well done, Hendo, man of the match, and congrats to Crystal Palace for winning the cup.
Alan Shearer commented. Year of the Underdog, Newcastle winning the Caribou Cup, Crystal Palace FA Cup.
I consider The Blades to be underdogs. Can we beat Sunderland? In my humble opinion, yes.

I think there was a handball in the build up, too.

 

[Nick Jansky]

That was Joel Ward.

The one with the banner of the dad hugging his two lads got me

 

[Balham]

Clearly inside the box. Don't see what the fuss is about

Of greater concern should be the fact that there’s no assistant referee in shot. They’re supposed to be in line.

 

[Guesty]

That was Joel Ward.

Henderson did it straight after, I don't know if the award only goes to the first to do it, though.

 

[Blade56]

I think they just didn't want to ruin the game and chose to ignore it. Was obviously the wrong decision, but the game would've been dead if Henderson got sent off there.

If that happens to us on Satdi we’ll take it in the spirit of not wanting to ruin the game.

MIGHT change? All I know for sure is that we scored more than the other lot. What if this, what if that, is interesting but not relevant.

Well we scored a goal that clearly wasn’t so Germany clearly had to push forward to try and score an equaliser to force a replay, they likely wouldn’t be pushing forward that aggressively if the incorrect goal wasn’t given

There is no what if this or that, it would likely have still been 2-2, it would have been extremely unlikely that W Germany would have left Geoff alone like that

If one goal had been disallowed, nobody can say with absolute certainty how the match would have finished. Nearly 59 years ago the match ended 4-2 and this is what the records will continue to show for evermore. I think Kenneth Wolstenholme's comment at the end of the match says it all.

This was of course legendary BBC commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme of -"They think it's all over. It is now!"- fame. Never knew until just reading about him that he'd been a bomber pilot during WWII flying 100 sorties over occupied Europe winning a DFC and bar medal.

It's possible the lino isn't as quick as Haaland!

That or simplify the rules. If a keeper handles outside the area then that's that.

If meant or not I am not sure however if he did he was very clever, as he batted the ball away from the direct run at goal, although clearly a free kick. the denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity part of thing like VAR was discussing is harder to justify. If it is similar to the offside law, if you are either last man or 2nd to last man and do x/y/z etc it might make it more clear but Hendo did find a grey area, only he will know if meant to do it or if he just thought he needed to stop the ball.

 

[WayneAllison]

Chuffed for Deano

Deserves everything he gets most GK'S would happily spend 4 years on the bench at Manure

It was a stonewall red though , small margings VAR does its job hes cost palace the Cup Final but stayed on to be the hero

Well yes the factual accounts will say it ended 4-2 but your original point was it would still have been 3-2 if the controversial goal had been knocked off

It’s highly unlikely it would have played out as it did in match

 

[BerksBlade]

He was promised a run in man utds first team and had just signed a 150k a week contract

Yeah, there was no way we could have signed him permanently.
IIRC he caught COVID just before the start of the season. De Gea got his form back and Hendo was left out in the cold.

Following on from the 1966 World Cup , if VAR had been used in future tournaments,Lampards goal would have stood v Germany bringing us back to 2-2 , (unless they were using the Villa Park goal line technology) ,,, and BOTH Maradona's goals (the hand ball one and the great run ) would have been disallowed ,, Back to the FA Cup Final , if it had been a keeper against us I would have wanted him given a red , if it was our keeper I would also have expected a red ,, ps pleased for Hendo OABAAB
