My blogmate must still be seething over the gross injustice done to Crystal Palace and Eberechi Eze in Week 1 of the Premier League. Eze took an audacious free kick direct at goal from a long way (38 yds?) which beat the Brentford keeper, who was expecting a cross into the box. But the referee blew the whistle because of a tie-up in the group awaiting the free kick. In my view, it was not a foul in the first place, and it had nothing to do with the free kick. This would have been the opening goal. Palace eventually lost the game 2-1. It was a very entertaining contest, but it was annoying in the extreme to see the game's best play chalked off for a stupid officiating error.
