Mildly amusing coincidence: a few weeks ago, some on-loan Palace winger (nippy lad, dives a lot, runs in circles, never passes the ball) gave Leeds fans the finger after a game at Selhurst. Many Leeds fans demanded action and a ban for him. Palace, meanwhile, claimed their winger had been subject to racial abuse, which Leeds of course flatly denied.
Today, Diouf aims an obscene gesture at Albion fans: Leeds fans are tending to suggest he shouldn't be banned because "it's only a gesture" and that "he must have been racially abused" before he lost his rag.
Curious, I think.

I didn't know Holloway was nippy.
I was walking along Brighton seafront listening to the commentry, and did a genuine laugh out loud when I heard the "shit Ballotelli" chants, it came over loud and clear.
That chant quite clearly IRKED him and got right under his skin. Well done all. Good work.
if ever the fans have got a player sent off this was it. It was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time
All seems pretty good natured. Oh well.
