Oliver Glasner: 'Crystal Palace victims of Old Trafford bonus' Oliver Glasner reckons Crystal Palace fell victim to Manchester United’s home advantage after conceding a dubious penalty in their 2-1 defeat on…

Oliver Glasner: "A penalty and a red card is a very harsh decision - maybe it’s a bit of the Old Trafford bonus." #CPFC

Once again, I have already written a piece about that this season.

However, Glasner & the supporters only have themselves to blame for making this fracas the story.

Glasner is the story at the moment. I've said my piece on Parish. I quite like Oliver FWIW, but it's our responsibility to report his missteps - especially when that's what supporters are talking about.

I have separated the fan and journalist, yes.

As for Parish, I have been extremely vocal in criticising him this season and have come under fire for doing so - to the extent that he publicly called me out and had to do an interview with another journalist days later to control the damage.

What makes it client journalism? Upon first reference, I called Parish the chairman; then I just pointed out that he is also a fan of the club and that he usually follows the mood when sacking a manager.

No. Get over it. There was nothing sensationalist about it.

That is quite literally what happened, as many people on here have confirmed.

Always happy to take feedback on board, but not when it's inaccurate - so this will have no bearing on my reporting.

This is an admirable, but deluded, attempt to gaslight.

Will happily write positively if Glasner is upbeat on Wednesday and they win well on Thursday.

The majority of supporters voiced their discontent at the end in Mostar. Did you stay until the final whistle?

It's not a pile on, Glasner says stupid things and it's our job to report it. Perhaps if Glasner and the fans had a look in the mirror we wouldn't have to ask these questions.

He doesn't understand what he did wrong - he said that in the press conference. No empathy. My reporting reflects there was a slight concession, but not a complete apology, and that is clear from the quotes.

This is factually incorrect. I have spoken to several people in the away end, who have corroborated what I reported. Further, I was one of the few who clapped at the end - while most others jeered. I watched and listened carefully, as I was aware that I may be asked to report on it. Stop your lies.

It's very - ‘I'm sorry you feel that way’.

He was reflective, but still stuck to his guns.

Glasner refuses to back down in Palace supporter war after Guessand’s late winner Derided manager says his ‘words were taken the wrong way’ after fans show discontent as Ivorian settles cagey affair at Selhurst Park

Oliver Glasner: “I want to say sorry if someone felt disrespected because I never want to disrespect anyone.

“If they feel disrespected, that’s how they feel. Maybe the words were taken the wrong way. But I will always say what I think is right and I think this is right.” #CPFC

Glasner tells Palace fans they've 'forgotten where they've come from' Palace have been dragged into a relegation battle after a run of just one win in 11 Premier League games, and suffered one of the biggest ever FA Cup shocks as they lost to Macclesfield.

This was Oliver Glasner’s Roy Hodgson moment — a clap back at the fans.

‘The few who are so critical in this situation are not humble anymore and have forgotten where they have come from — usually in life you get punished for this,’ Glasner said. #CPFC

Oliver Glasner’s once peerless relationship with Crystal Palace supporters is beyond repair.

It seems inevitable that his departure, originally scheduled for the summer, will be accelerated, and that Palace will sever ties with the manager imminently. #CPFC
