Joe Lodge's Weather Woes in Madrid
00:00:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome back to the Daily Palace podcast brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network. I'm Joe Lodge. I booked flights to get some sun in Madrid um this weekend, for this weekend, a fortnight ago.
00:00:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
It turns out it's going to be eight degrees and windy there while it's 14 degrees and sunny in Manchester. I'm now in the process of planning a religious conversion because it clearly is
Dan Tanner's Existential Joke
00:00:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
an interventionist God. And as things stand, love it and they like me,
00:00:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
With me today is me immortal, as far as aware, Dan Tanner. How are you doing, Dan?
00:00:43
Dan Tanner
I'm doing, I think I'm a mere mortal. I'm not sure. I'll have to double check that one. i I might have divinity somewhere along the line somewhere, but like I can't change the weather for you, mate.
00:00:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's all yeah
00:00:55
Dan Tanner
i Sorry about that. But yeah, you've got to stay in Blighty every now and again.
00:00:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
right. It's all right. Did you feel the spirit? yeah Do you feel the spirit moving on pancake day? That could be an early sign.
00:01:06
Dan Tanner
Maybe, but so yeah, I forgot it was Pancake Day. That's always a... ah
00:01:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Terrible to miss pancake day.
00:01:14
Dan Tanner
I know right gonna have to go down Sainsbury's and go and quickly go and grab some ready-made pancakes grab a bit yeah for Brinna we'll have some Brinna tonight we'll go to get some bacon get some sausage and do some pancakes is for dinner laughing
00:01:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
had a double session.
00:01:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
i've I wanted to, we had pancakes for breakfast and like dessert after dinner. I wanted to have Yorkshire puddings as well or tone the whole wrap for dinner as a kind of third pancake.
00:01:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
But it starts in my mind to allow me to
00:01:43
Dan Tanner
Maybe a little bit too much.
Liam Roberts' Ban Extension
00:01:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Anyhow, today, once we're done chatting about all egg, milk and flour-based snacks, we are going to speak about the latest on Liam Roberts' punishment for his high kick on Jean-Philippe Mateta, the impressive loan form of Geoffrey Schlupp, and our favourite Palace hat-trick scorers.
00:02:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
So starting with Roberts, we mentioned on Monday that the FA might extend his ban. They have now deemed that the standard free match punishment is clearly insufficient for the offence.
00:02:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
There are still a few hurdles to clear before ban extension is confirmed and we know how significant it will be. But do you think this is the right decision, Dan?
00:02:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Does this warrant longer than the standard three-match dangerous play, Ben?
00:02:47
Dan Tanner
uh yeah in a simple it's probably one of the worst tackles i've seen in a long time besides from uh actual sort of breaking of bones or anything this is one where if it was a slightly different place he could have taken it out his or even ah worst case scenario could have actually killed him so maybe slightly on that ah slightly exaggerating but that was just a horror tackle it was not even a tackle just a complete and utter Well, stupidity in no way, shape or form about it, really.
00:03:22
Dan Tanner
You look at the behind the goal camera. There is no reason for him to do that. Absolutely no reason. But keepers, the sweeper-keeper kind of mentality, you either have to go for it or not.
00:03:34
Dan Tanner
You can't be caught in two minds. But I've never, ever seen a keeper lead with their foot. um So I don't know. I have no idea what was going through his head. or anything.
00:03:46
Dan Tanner
So him getting more than just a one match ban, I think is warranted. um i don't know if you, I think he's but getting three or is it four?
00:03:57
Dan Tanner
I'm not sure.
00:03:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
3 would be and punishment the for dangerous play straight red i guess the idea is there will now be at least four but i don't think there's been any communication about quite how extensive the ban is gonna be yeah but but yeah i mean i i agree ah have some amount of sympathy to the extent that i i kind of buy that it's probably stupidity rather than malice that led to it and it was just complete head loss in fact had to do whatever he could to get the ball clear and and that was how it ended up once he got himself into that position but it is so unbelievably almost unprecedentedly reckless and the speed at which he's traveling the position of his boot
00:04:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
as you say, it really could have been a lot worse than it was, and it was pretty bad. is i had had to put stitches in ear. reportedly kind of half tall in two almost.
00:05:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
So it's, so I think you just have to even if the intent of the challenge isn't horrendous, you have to put a significant, yeah, don't know, I have to make a statement of this is not acceptable and it probably does keep it fresher in other players' minds.
00:05:02
Dan Tanner
Yeah.
Millwall's Controversial Reactions
00:05:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
in that split second where their head's starting to go, don't know, it maybe even helps to to make an example of the case and set precedent that you just can't go into challenge like that.
00:05:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
So even though i feel like it's a bit unusual for extensions to happen like this when the intent isn't his particularly malicious, it probably makes sense just as a precedent of, no, you can't do that. You absolutely can't.
00:05:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Millwall as an institution have reacted the whole thing a bit strangely, I would say. um
00:06:06
Dan Tanner
Yeah, I saw this too, if that's what you're to go with. I think I've seen this too.
00:06:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:06:10
Dan Tanner
Hang on, what?
00:06:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
So firstly, a two points want to touch on. The fans gave a round of applause in minute eight of their game with Bristol City last night, which was the same minute that Roberts got sent off again against Palace.
00:06:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that's sort of in solidarity with him and the, I guess, the persecution they feel he's facing.
00:06:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Millwall as a club have now also, so the paper reports, banned Daily Mail journalists from the den in reaction to their kind of pretty critical reporting of the incident and guess the Millwall fans present in the stadium on the day's reaction to it.
00:07:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
It all revolves around a sense that in the club that Liam Roberts is receiving a lot of grief kind of online and it's been fueled by the guess, reaction of people in in the football media and whatnot.
00:07:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Do you have any sympathy with that, Dan? Or do they kind of have don't know, just firm it, accept it was wrong and and move on?
00:07:37
Dan Tanner
It's kind of very dependent on the kind of what they're calling abuse online because some of it he did do something incredibly stupid like we're not gonna sort of weigh shape or form but And you are going to get that for a while.
00:07:55
Dan Tanner
He's going to be remembered for that the same way Zidane was remembered for the headbutt in his basically final international.
00:08:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:08:02
Dan Tanner
You are going to be remembered for that for your entire career.
00:08:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
he was
00:08:04
Dan Tanner
So he's going to have to kind of have to live with that.
00:08:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
i
00:08:08
Dan Tanner
um But yeah, it's very, i don't know if I'd say sympathy, um but it's only on the kind of soft stuff he will be getting online because this is the age of the internet and what twitter is like now which is just the wild wild west uh anything will be flung around so some of it you kind of have to either take on the chin or um kind of ignore whatever but bill war was an entity kind of banning reporters and stuff wouldn't say i'm not surprised this is kind of what
00:08:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
this.
00:08:47
Dan Tanner
ah institutions or like companies do now when they are being like questioned or anything. It's like, we need to shut this down as quickly as possible and hopefully they'll forget about it. But yeah, we're not, it's not going to be forgotten about for a while, uh, at least until the next round and probably even then it'll be brought up time and time again for the next couple of years.
00:09:09
Dan Tanner
So yeah, sympathy is not exactly what I have, but it's kind of like, it The point is, can we move on from this a little bit? just Just remember that it happened.
00:09:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:09:21
Dan Tanner
Make the precedent of this is not acceptable in any way, shape or form. And other challenges like this, because there are many that go on throughout the Premier League that are ignored or given yellow cards when they are clearly being very reckless.
00:09:37
Dan Tanner
And they're just being sort of passed over and just like, oh, we got the ball first. Not if you go through the player to do it. If you have to commit assault to get the ball, that is a red card offense that isn't that simple.
00:09:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah yeah now i i think i have a little bit of
00:09:52
Dan Tanner
Simple as. um So, yeah, it's...
00:10:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
I sort of think I have some sympathy for Roberts personally. and He doesn't need a witch hand against him. He's going get a long run.
00:10:10
Dan Tanner
Yeah, it doesn't need that much.
00:10:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I have some... I'm sort of confused by ah specific way. So I think it's good that the club and the fans...
00:10:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're the people who are in a sign that should be and that they give him the sort of benefit of the doubt and are broadly supportive of him, not making for anything worse about the whole scenario. i mean, that's a bad thing, but a specific way of doing it.
00:10:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
So um on the round of applause, to do that um the on the minute he was sent off, and know this isn't how it's intended, almost feels like... glorifying the act or saying that wasn't so bad.
00:10:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't think it's
00:10:55
Dan Tanner
Yeah, there are two different ways of seeing it.
00:10:57
Dan Tanner
Yeah, is's either they're supporting the goalie for doing it or they're supporting Mateta. And we'd ah you'd have to ask a Millwall fan which one they were doing.
00:11:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
in support John for this.
00:11:06
Dan Tanner
Either way, it doesn't sound brilliant.
00:11:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
But, you know, it felt to me a bit like... turning at knowing someone who's been rightly convicted of reckless drunk driving and turning up the next day at the pub where they were drinking and downing a pint and so there it is. like like you can You can maybe support them in some way but this really doesn't feel like it's the right message or the right way to do it.
00:11:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then with the banning of the journalists, it's I think it's just a bit strange.
Media Criticism and Millwall's Ban on Journalists
00:11:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
I kind of get that They might feel some of the coverage has been a little over the top and maybe I wasn't there in the stadium. I don't know what the volume was, but maybe too much of a minority Millwall fans chanting silly things in the moment.
00:12:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
But for one, think... some of the media reaction, particularly reaction of ex-pros, which is one of the things that Mel took issue with because Chris Sutton was on a Daily Mail podcast, making so being very critical.
00:12:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then there was also like Deeney being pretty critical at half time in the game. With X-Pros, I think their reaction being really critical, gut reaction, immediate reaction being really critical is understandable because they are really a step less you're removed from the danger of someone flying out like that.
00:12:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
And so even if they might have been a little bit over-angry about Liam Roberts' his challenge, it's it comes from understandable place because it really is dangerous and that's why it's been made such big deal of.
00:12:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
So secondly, I think you kind of have to take the rough for the smooth with the media as a football club. Them making a drama out of everything and narrativising the sport is a big part of why it's so popular and successful um why so sorry able so function of five and and think you can't when that narrative goes against you you can't be too can't be too choosy you just have to keep um letting the in the media in and immediately be the media to a certain extent
00:13:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, within reason, but don't think this crosses that threshold of ridiculous out-of-line criticism crisis ah a club that would warrant anything like this.
00:13:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thirdly, I think it's just sort of irrational because ah if
00:13:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
you're... Don't you know anything about the Daily Mail if you think that banning them is going to intense ah take take the intensity out of their attacks on you.
00:14:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Rather, clearly it's going to lead to a more intensified media campaign against the club. And they've already been receiving the end of an article by an op-ed by Oliver Holt titled, Millwall must own their horror tackles and vile chanting rather than banning the press.
00:14:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
I suspect that pattern will continue until they're unbanned.
00:14:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I don't even make ah any kind of rational...
00:14:27
Dan Tanner
Exactly.
00:14:29
Dan Tanner
Yeah. The press is going to do it regardless if you ban them or not. So, um yeah, you're going to get a lot.
00:14:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
that's
00:14:34
Dan Tanner
They're going to get a lot of stick for a long time now until they unban them, essentially. And even then, probably the day Mayhem was going to still keep digging it in. So, yeah.
00:14:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah there are worse things for your image than being an enemy of the daily mail though so maybe it's sort of a ah reverse psychology kind of pr game from them um but yeah i don't know i think it's the reaction has been quite strange and
00:15:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah, I don't know, this sort of siege mentality that's forming around Millwall is semi-understandable, but it seems to me like it's almost promoting Liam Roberts to the role of the real victim of the incident.
00:15:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's like, no, you're not. You're the man who's had to rush straight to hospital, um given oxygen in front of his family at the ah stadium and all that is the victim, that
00:15:30
Dan Tanner
Yeah, the the guy like the guy that got kicked in the head for no reason is the real victim.
00:15:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:15:37
Dan Tanner
That's how assaults usually
Geoffrey Schlupp's Celtic Performance
00:15:39
Dan Tanner
work.
00:15:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:15:40
Dan Tanner
The guy that gets hit is...
00:15:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
or it struggle struggle argument um but yeah as ah as a final note on the topic john flima teta has been nominated for pfa fans player of the month it's not to be confused with illustrious illustrious eafc fans player of the month in the premier league but i'm sure we'll be nominated for that too so get voting for john philip mateta to give him a nice memento uh of his final glorious month with two properly complete ears with that thought we will go into a ah quick ad break and then return to talk about a very much two-eared man jeffrey schlupp
00:17:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, we will fly through this section really quickly because we've whittled on about John Philippe Mateta a lot.
00:17:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
There's a lot to say.
00:17:16
Dan Tanner
Yeah, we kind of went on a little bit, didn't we?
00:17:18
Dan Tanner
We might want pick up the pace a little bit.
00:17:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thankfully, there's not...
00:17:21
Dan Tanner
There's a lot to say.
00:17:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
This this one, there's probably not as much to say on. um but Checking with one of our boys abroad, Geoffrey Schlupp is tearing things up on loan at Celtic.
00:17:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah He barely played this season before being shipped off in January. We all assume was the last we'd see of him. But could he be playing himself into ah a new contract and a role in the Palace team potentially then?
00:17:54
Dan Tanner
Um, my heart says, yes, why not? Let's give him a new contract. Because he's always been, he's been a great sort of cult hero for Palace for many years. He's the ah Swiss army knife of ah substitutes.
00:18:11
Dan Tanner
Basically, put him in anywhere, he'll put in 100% and you you know what you're going to get from him. But realistically, I don't see it.
00:18:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:18:22
Dan Tanner
He's... getting onto the sort of the tail end of his career. He's in his thirties now. I know that doesn't sound old, but in football it is. That's when they start giving out the one year extensions or you have these very short term sort of stays at a club.
00:18:40
Dan Tanner
So I don't see him sort of getting an extension mainly because we are starting to get some actually sort of, sort of better sort of younger players in the squad especially in his position like uh so decore will probably come back next season after being out for a better part of the year uh we've got sort will horton uh who's now becoming a sort of a real sort of playmaker especially when you've got the the reports of real madrid might be looking at him so which we went through yesterday if you didn't
00:19:17
Dan Tanner
I didn't listen to our podcast. We went through that yesterday and likelihood of that. um But we've just got ah some good players in that kind of central midfield position now.
00:19:29
Dan Tanner
If anybody's probably going to get a extension on their short sort of deal would probably be Will Hughes, especially as he's started to really show sort of leadership role in that in that midfield and be that kind of mentor-ish thing for players.
00:19:46
Dan Tanner
or Hewton and to a point, uh, Devaney probably just sort of, he's probably taken them under his wing, and just keep an eye on them. So to answer your question, I don't see it happening.
00:19:57
Dan Tanner
I'd be very shocked, but um'd I'd love him to stay, but I just, yeah, just don't really see it happening.
00:20:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think in reality, I don't. um But I made it through in the running order for a bit of Jeff Schlapp appreciation. He's been playing really well. He put in some really good performances against Bayern, even in the Champions League.
00:20:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
And really hit a new level ah last weekend, scoring and getting an c assist from left-back against Samirin. And I'd love it. I would love it if he did play himself back into contention. But realistically,
00:20:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
For one, there'll be ah good clamour if he keeps us up for him to stay at Celtic, particularly as their other left-back, Greg Taylor, is expected to leave in the summer as he is not showing any signs of signing a new contract himself.
00:20:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Also, if he's there, like if he's a starting left-back at Celtic,
00:21:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
the he's a standing left back, a massive team and he cannot, they're in that kind of sweet spot where you can play for a team that feels massive, has loads of fans, has lots of buzz around it, gets involved in European football and not be really a top, top player.
00:21:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Certainly not anymore and I think fish it up, that's maybe quite appealing at the end of your career. I guess the question marks, the only scenarios which it could maybe happen are like the chill while alone ends, he goes back to Chelsea,
00:21:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Palace are back in need of a ah left wing back option. It's kind of quick and easy. And Celtic also, I think, sniffing around Tierney seems be widely what's considered to be deemed semi-likely to come back in.
00:22:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
And... Yeah, that would maybe jeopardise or at least ask a question for Schlapp because perhaps he wouldn't be the first choice left back in the same way if Tierney were there, but ah don't think it's going to happen.
00:22:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
But, you know, nice to nice to give Geoffrey Schlupp a bit of credit while he's been playing well out there in Scotland, I thought. And with that, we will give a bit of credit to our sponsors before going into our final discussion on Eagle Hattrick Heroes.
Favorite Crystal Palace Hat-Tricks
00:23:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Bee Gees, blind mice, half packs of beer. All the best things come in threes and goals are famously no exception. Palace's website alerted me earlier that it's 12 years since the day Kevin Phillips scored three for the Eagles against Hull.
00:23:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
But what I know, Dan, is if not that, what's your favourite Crystal Palace hat trick?
00:23:29
Dan Tanner
Oh, I think there's no real competition. And I think even Alex would probably agree with me on this one. It's probably got to be Danny Butterfield's. It has to be. You can't.
00:23:40
Dan Tanner
Besides from, right, this is this is the list of the stuff that this is. Not only is it a perfect hat trick. So if you don't know that, left foot, right foot, header in no particular order.
00:23:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:23:52
Dan Tanner
ah It was the fastest... ah hat trick, I think, in Palace history of about 6 minutes 40-something. It was in the FA Cup against Wolves.
00:24:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. yeah
00:24:07
Dan Tanner
And the piece de resistance, the absolute icing on the cake, is Danny Butterfield is a right back.
00:24:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's just
00:24:15
Dan Tanner
He's a fullback. When a fullback scores a hat trick, everybody takes notice. risk So it has to be that.
00:24:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:24:23
Dan Tanner
There's There are a couple of sort of other ones. Um, Yannick Bellassi, I think had one, I think it was Sunderland. I'm not sure if Sunderland or not. might've been Southampton, one of the two, that his was the first hat-trick in the premiership by a palace player.
00:24:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:24:38
Dan Tanner
So, cause I was looking up the same sort of thing as you probably did assault the records and going through them all. And it was championship league one, league two, and some of these old ones from the thirties and stuff that I think no longer exist or being amalgamated into something else.
00:24:52
Dan Tanner
And yeah, he's the only one in the Premiership up until sort of like Mateta and probably even one or two from AJ. But yeah, well, AJ was all he got gone. But yeah, Mateta has got, I think, two or three as well. so it's like, and Shalop.
00:25:06
Dan Tanner
And then, and Balassie was the first one in the Prem. So that's always a nod at the cap as well. But it has to be Danny Butterfield. It just has to be.
00:25:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah i uh yeah well i i actually didn't pull through the records i just went straight to butterfield as well because i think it is so indisputable so to add some extra context to what you'd said there dan he was
00:25:15
Dan Tanner
It's just so out there. It's such a palace thing. Yeah.
00:25:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
just he was a right back he scored nine league goals for the whole career every cup goal is not counting in there but he was not he wasn't a goal scoring right back um It was ah about like it was that a few days after Palace had gone into administration, wasn't it, that this happened?
00:25:49
Dan Tanner
I think it was the beginning of, yeah, that foot but that whole ah situation is like, oh, OK.
00:25:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:25:56
Dan Tanner
And then it's just like, oh, right, we're going go to Cora Hadrick. It's cool.
00:25:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Spirits were incredibly low um and Palace had created a vacancy up top because they'd just sold Victor Moses. who'd been playing, a model winger, but was playing ah in a front two with Alan Lee at the time.
00:26:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Warnock claims that the reason he played him up front is that his wife had a dream that Danny Butterfield scored a hat-trick. So, well,
00:26:23
Dan Tanner
I think i've I've heard that rumor as well and it's like, oh, okay, yes, very palace thing as well. We just go, yeah, we get the ah but get a wife with one of the backroom staff. That's how we do our tactics.
