I do find it funny when the person who has spent 90 screaming w*****, useless c***, etc etc turns out to be Usain Bolt, the moment the targetted player wants a word, face to face :lolol:

Glad I was in West Upper on Saturday so March couldn't hear what I said when he missed that sitter

I'm blaming playing on Leap Year Day for that.

It was clearly a distraction for March.

Oh blimey!

Just to think the risk to the fans in the north west corner when abusing SEGW last Saturday!! How close where they to a personal contre-temps!

Actually....

SEGW would probably have tripped on the barrier land on his arse, eyes glaring with arms raised toward the ref....mind you i suspect the front tow rows would have been covered in spittle.

Hither (sometimes Thither)
I can imagine Zaha leaping into the crowd, and probably feigning injury whilst doing so, when he sees the Greyhound at all of Palace's away games, doing crybaby faces and throwing balls timidly at his fragile shins.

Oh, what a lovely club.

First thing I hear when seeing some highlights at half-time last night during Sheffield Wednesday v Manchester City was "*** army!"

Just as nasty and unpleasant as West Ham and Millwall.

I'm sorry but I'm with Eric here.

The abuse and personal crap that footballers and footballers families have to put up with is unacceptable, this type of reaction is inevitable.

Even at local County football you here personal insults levelled at people they don't actually know, have no understanding what they've dealt with in their lives and is normally done out of drunken stupidity, I think to challenge them, if the authorities don't, is the right action.

We are trying to tackle ''Knife Crime'' and ''Gang Warfare'' in the streets of London and other cities around the UK. And what you are really saying is '' Actually - No its actually OK to carry out Vigilante Revenge attacks if someone verbally abuses you'' - These Footballers are ''Role Models'' to our kids.

How is that likely to help ?

It isn't a vigilante attack is it - it's defending yourself / friends / family. No issue with this at all.

You can tell by the face on the bloke that was doing it he knew he was wrong, the look of panic on his face is amazing.

I think what I'm saying is this type of reaction is inevitable and the authorities need to do more to stamp out the abuse in the first place.

His family were not in Danger as there were Stewards around whose job it is to protect people in the crowd. And even if they were he could never have known the whole circumstances.

It isn't right to verbally abuse players in the way they are sometimes abused but neither is it right in any circumstances to take the Law into your own hands. Otherwise we go back to the Lawless ways of the ''Wild West'' Look at Mexico and the US with all the shootings and deaths. These type of actions start of with fists and the escalate to knives and guns. It is absolutely Barbaric and for a Football Player who's photo is probably on the walls of thousands of kids in the UK. It sets the wrong example.

Minimum wage stewards... when have you ever seen them put themselves in harms way? Like I said pretty much everyone would react the same if they saw their family involved in some kind of altercation. You simply would not stand at a distance and hope it blows over.

Our man (legend) in The Family Stand got right in the face of a couple of fans (who absolutely shouldn't have been there) because of their gesticulating, early doors.
