Despite my years it was my first time at Selhurst.
It reads really badly tbf. Totally unnecessary to describe folks complaining about racism as "sober and lefty". Why do this if not insinuating that these are characteristics somehow associated with challenging racism.
Yep, no idea why his skin colour has anything to with with being such a shit linesman.
This is the sort of crap all decent minded people have to put up with these days. It is stoked by the ongoing culture war; at least he he didnt call it woke I guess.
None of that for me, did you arrive quite close to kick off? I travelled via selhurst Station with all the smelly fans, no escort from there
No I'm not. It might have been well meaning but I have plenty of friends who are neither left wing nor sober, yet somehow get through all our away games without calling a linesman a coon.
It was the 18:08 of Hassocks however we were delayed on route to Norwood Junction
I think it was easier with unallocated standing and seating and the fact that the same 2-300 would do long distance games and the same 1500 or so would do nearer ones. You had to get on to an extent because you'd see the same people in two weeks time.
Following on from my previous post, Amsterdam was quite odd for me because I saw a lot of the old faces but most couldn't get a ticket. The Eurostar over was like a trip back in time on a train to somewhere up North.
Same as been to Man City, Chelsea , Everton and Arsenal away this very few of the old faces about in fact probably about 3/5 people I recognisedI think it was easier with unallocated standing and seating and the fact that the same 2-300 would do long distance games and the same 1500 or so would do nearer ones.

Our group never went looking for trouble but it would occasionally find you and then you had to stick together.
Incidentally, I had a nostalgic 'moment' on Amsterdam Centraal platform when I "saw double" if you know what I mean
Exactly, they are assistants
What does that even mean? Were they signing songs about Corbyn being Teetotal?
Fair enough.
I agree. Of course it is. Very badly worded in my case. I’ve never heard a single racist comment at a Brighton game. I really never have. I’d be as appalled as these guys were if the phrase quoted by someone, after my post, was used. Disgusting.
Unfortunately there's every chance there are separate issues, as the fella calling out racism, which then led to the fight was adamant the accused had used more 'modern' racist abuse on 3 occasions.
It did work though to the extent that it brought the louder, most vociferous fans together for singing. If you didn't want to stand and sing then there was always seats to be had down the front or on the extremities. If everybody sat down in their allocated seats then I'm sure there would be many bemoaning the lack of singing / support / atmosphere.
