cycle of violence

[Green Cross Code Man]

I blame Alan Mullery.

That may well have a ring of truth about it. However, Challis should share some of the blame.

 

[Simster]

I blame Alan Mullery.

Only a Palace fan would blame their greatest ever manager for anything.

 

[Napper]

all this segregation stuff and making them walk this way or that way or keeping them/us in after the match on different trains and buses and so on, what would happen in the (unlikely) event of us playing them in an FA cup semi or summink at Wembley?

chaos

I still dont understand why it wasnt a midday kick off on a sat or sunday. At least until we have played each other a few times, this was the first big encounter for a few years afterall.

I get the point about treating people like humans but trouble with evening games is everyone is in a mad dash to get home as well. A middayish k/o still gives people enough time to get home if they are kept in for a bit.

This. It was a baffling decision to play this game as an evening fixture.

Probably not, according to Das you're not ITK or the real deal...

After the disgusting scenes on tuesday the police said more arrest would follow,so have they? when can we expect a statement from the club on what measures will be put in place for any future problem games? Gone very quiet out there!

Was it really that bad? Really? Anyone hospitalised? Or is perception and "chat" on web forums such as this making it worse than it actually was? In the context of 22k people? Everyone thinks a dark alley at night is unsafe to walk down. But the truth more often than not is it's just a dark alley. Nothing lurking, maybe a dog pop or two. But that's about it!

It really wasn't that bad. More arrests at pride apparently!

Most of it was a load of chest thumping and bravado. Both sides, depending on your mind-set, either claiming "we are tougher than you" or "you are the bigger scum bags". Load of bollocks if you ask me, not like the old days, both sets of fans happy to stand behind police lines looking mean and shouting at each other.
This rivalry suits both us and palace, evenly matched in the sense of how hardcore our fans are and always delivers a few handbags at dawn.

Exactly that. The apparent nutters at the railway bell could easily have piled into Palace before the game if they chose and the 'hardcore' Palace after the game were held back by a handful of WPCs outside the southstand. From what I saw no-one REALLY wanted it. For someone like me who wants to see Palace think twice about coming here in colours and baking a noise it was hugely disappointing.

And perhaps the brain cells deep down knew these days it's a lengthy easily-enforced ban, from their beloved clubs; and criminal charges.

Well I'd be happier if their fans were in colours & not givin' it the 'Big 'Un' like the self-styled Casual element. I actually enjoyed seing the coppers swinging their batons at 'em, as the first mob of lairy cretins went up past the North Stand: offering themselves up & shouting abuse at shirters & folk queuing to get into Dick's Bar. They were a f***ing disgrace (although I've no doubt that we have similar 'heroes' who'd do the same given half the chance). I wish these arseholes would just move into the current Millenium rather than being stuck in the bleedin' 1980's. Unlike the 60's, if you can remember it you WERE there. And most of it was shit.
