Crystal Palace's Disallowed Goal

For those who haven't already seen this, here's a link: BBC SPORT | Football | Championship | Bristol City 1-0 Crystal Palace

The question: how would you have responded to this, if you were a Bristol City player, and saw that it was a goal? There's a poll above.

Haha, I saw that too, did you see the Crystal Palace Chairman's interview - He was NOT a happy bunny!
I reckon I would've done something about it, probably told an official; on the replays it does look like some of the Bristol players tried to do that but they were ignored too!

Play to the whistle. It's not your job to see if it was a goal. If the ref can make a mistake then so can you, how would you know it was definately a goal? Without the benefit of a replay maybe you got it wrong and the ref was right.

Leave it to the ref.

Id just carry on with play. No team is going to score an own goal to even things back up. Its the way things go in football sadly.

Carry on, take the ref's descision and continue. The referee's descision should be final no matter what has happened.
