Giant Flag Waving for Goal Celebrations

[Hillian1]

The flags at Palace are bought and waved by the fans not the club. The flags at Arsenal , Chelsea etc are arranged by the club and the wavers are paid by the club.

Not saying I like it but there is a vast difference IMHO.

I can't work out whether the awful fake atmosphere and shit organised chanting at MLS games was influenced by the Palace teenage prats or vice versa. Mind you, the lumberjack would have an easy shift if they employed him at Selhurst.

Probably more likely taken from European fans who have had organised chanting, banners, flags, drums, megaphones, pyros, Ultras and 'displays' for many years. Nothing to do with the UK.

What in the name of **** is the one on the left? Looks like a sad sleepy face yawning and shutting its eyes. Although in retrospect, that's probably about right for Palace.

Remember one of the Glasgow clubs having them waived behind one of the goals a good ten years ago, maybe more. Think it was Rangers.

Minds gone hazy, were the Air Puppets at Withdean used for goal celebrations or just prior to kick off

What does 'tinpot' actually mean? Can anybody explain? The amount of 'tinpot' things that happen at the biggest clubs in the world is confusing me.

Flag waving is OK, but not for goal celebrations, it's a bit too staged. Before the game I think it's OK though.

What possible purpose do flags serve? They get in people's way - look sh*te and are sh*te

 

[grubbyhands]

Bring back the withdean rocket

Yeah, but 5 times as explosive 'cos the crowds are 5 times the size. It would be ear-splitting.

No that was Colin Hawkins warming up .

They wave massive flags throughout the whole match on the continent.

That's where the US have got it from, not Selhurst park

Not so much a fortress now though, more a sandcastle. It's nice to see the new hotel coming along in the corner though

Portland Timbers (MLS)have a lumberjack who chops up wood with a chainsaw every time they score a goal
He stands on a podium in front of their ultras

He obviously doesn't like Leeds then.

It does at least bring the benefit of ensuring that at least some of the home fans don't have to see what's happening on the pitch. If I was a Palace fan, I'd appreciate that.

Have Palace not paid their laundry bill? I mean, having to wash your own sheets and hanging them out to dry on a match day. What is the world coming to?

I do know that. It was just an easy excuse for another CPFC2010Ltd pisstake....

Reading.

Just seen the Cardiff flags on the C5 highlights. I am not a big fan of these flags but the Cardiff version is embarrassing. One they are not actually that big, two it's Cardiff and three they are being waved by 12 year old who can barely hold them up let alone give them a decent waft.

I hope we don't go down this route as it just isn't proper football.
