Chelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Chelsea and Crystal are some of your comments:Chelsea fansRichard: Underwhelming would be a kind description. Blunt in attack and vulnerable in defence. The full attack was available but could barely muster an attempt on target. Do the players work on accurate shooting in training sessions? So little creativity on display. A really disappointing start and two home points are gone already. Much more is expected, starting Friday. Fortunate in the VAR intervention that ruled out the Palace 'winner'.Nick: After the great summer, seems like we've put the handbrake back on. Really disappointing performance. We've got great attackers - we need to set them free and then the goals will So much for our refurbished attack - they've got to start firing. Gittens was useless on that wing, Joao Pedro seemed non-existent. Delap had a good physical presence but couldn't get a shot at goal, Estevao was looking quite positive. Looking forward to when we start firing - we will be Palace fansRobert: A great gutsy performance by the whole team amid speculation of possibly losing Guehi and Eze. I really hope they will stay in this great squad. As for the disallowed goal, it was six of one and half a dozen of the other by both players which led to Eze's disallowed goal. I think the goal should have stood. Why on earth can't the transfer window close BEFORE the season starts? It's ridiculous how it is I thought it was an excellent performance against Chelsea's millions. We only spent £2m so far. We've proved once again we can compete against the 'bigger' clubs. Eze was unlucky to have his goal ruled out as otherwise it was a win. An excellent performance, especially Promising start to the season. Well organised in defence and dangerous in attack. Wharton is such an effortlessly classy player! Two years in a row we've had a goal disallowed in the first game. Should have been a penalty when Sanchez punched Guehi just before half-time. Glasner deserves praise for what he has achieved. If Eze and or Guehi go, they go with massive thanks and will always be legends at Palace. Without them, Palace will still be a test for anyone.

Footy great is left in a state of shock as AFL says star has no case to answer over 'inappropriate touching' incident
The AFL has closed the book on the alleged 'inappropriate touching' incident between Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions stars, but one footy great thinks they made the wrong decision. The AFL 's Integrity Unit has closed its investigation into a 'potential inappropriate touching' incident involving Brisbane's Henry Smith and Sydney's Nick Blakey. The clash occurred late in the first quarter after Blakey took a mark, fell to the ground, and Smith lost balance, making brief contact with Blakey's backside. There is also vision that suggests Blakey could have made inappropriate contact with Smith before that. Both the Lions and Swans were aware of the AFL's inquiries, but no complaint was made by Blakey or his club. The league concluded no further action was required, saying the situation appeared worse in a still image than it did live. 'Following inquiries by the AFLIU into an incident during the Brisbane Lions and Sydney Swans match on Saturday it has been determined that no further action is required,' the league said. On Nine News, chief football reporter Tom Morris chose not to name Smith or include him in footage, and Footy Classified also avoided naming him when it aired later on Monday night. While most accepted it as a non-incident, former Port Adelaide player Kane Cornes expressed disbelief at the AFL's decision to drop the matter. 'That has been cleared tonight by the AFL, I assume they have seen this vision,' host Craig Hutchison said on Channel Seven's The Agenda Setters. 'Well, it was certainly unusual,' veteran journalist Caroline Wilson replied. 'AFL Integrity have had a look at this, I know that Brisbane spent a good two hours on the phone with AFL Integrity and it was dismissed.' Cornes then said: 'I cannot believe the AFL would look at that and say there's no case (for Smith) to answer. 'That's one of the more unusual things I've seen.' 'It couldn't have been just an accident?' Wilson asked. 'Well, it didn't look like one to me,' Cornes replied. 'Both players are absolutely fine with it,' Wilson added. The Daily Mail does not suggest either player has engaged in appropriate contact. The footage of the incident generated waves of comments from footy fans on social media, the vast majority of which are too indecent to be published. It's not the first time the AFL has had to deal with allegations of a player making contact with a rival's private parts. In 2023, Gold Coast's Touk Miller was suspended for one game for executing a 'squirrel grip' on the genitalia of Brisbane's Dayne Zorko. In 2020, Richmond's Nick Vlastuin and Jayden Short were forced to apologise for inappropriately touching teammate Mabior Chol during a team song celebration. AFL 360's Gerard Whateley and Garry Lyon also discussed the Smith and Blakey incident and agreed it warranted further investigation. Touk Miller has receiving a one-match ban for making contact with the groin region of Dayne Zorko in a manner that caused pain and discomfort and ultimately constituted conduct unbecoming in breach of AFL Rule 2.3(a). Full details: — AFL (@AFL) August 3, 2023 A bit happening here with Jayden Short and Mabior Chol — Daniel Cherny (@DanielCherny) July 29, 2020 'This is the fleeting interaction on Saturday between Nick Blakey and Henry Smith,' Whateley said. 'But this is the angle as to why the AFL needed to investigate what had happened. 'We went through a couple of different phases with this during the day.' Lyon agreed, saying Smith in particular was lucky to escape further scrutiny. 'The first photo I looked at I went "hang on a minute". And then the other bit of vision which turned up I said "hang on a minute",' he said. 'They needed to look at that and this young man, I think that's unnecessary. The AFL have cleared him of any wrongdoing, there's no complaint from Sydney or Nick Blakey. 'I think it's unnecessary, I just thought he lost his balance and put his hand down for balance initially.
