Nice bunch our mates up the road.

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

Didn't say it upset me you doughnut - just pointing out that it is a little embarrassing - do you not see? No?

You are brilliant. Can we keep you?

 

[leigull]

Some BBS members didn't like that understandably but, Jesus wept, how pathetic was the response?

Wah wah wah......he called me horrible.....ban him. Unbelievable scenes.

...but has been shot down in flames by the brown-noses on there. Whichever way you paint it that is pathetic, childish, puerile....Palace owners - the gift that keeps on giving.

He is actually, not even as a joke or anything, complaining about being 'neg-repped' on a message board - Brilliant.

 

[Buzzer]

But does he? In what way? He only bit when he was subject to extremely vicious trolling.

I hope it wasn't something really bad. Did he call him 'really horrible'?

Why can teenage footballers understand that responding to Twitter trolls is not the done thing but not your bouffant buffoon of a chairman?

3-0 Caravan Dweller

That directed at me?

 

[SeagullinExile]

Yes that would be funny - however that isn't what he said so kinda ruins your joke huh.

No..no it doesn't. The way he acts gives me joy each day. I feel sorry for you guys as fans i really do. Your owners make a mockery of you all. Can you honestly say you're not embarrassed with the Twitter rants?

 

[Dowling93]

If you are a Palace fan then yes, if not i've been mistaken haha

Yeah you are right, lets let the trolls do what they want. I apologise.

Not at all. He took exception to a couple of trolls aiming disgusting comments at him. As is his right. He runs the clubs extremely well and saved it from extinction. I don't like his hair, but I don't base what i think of people on whether i fancy them or not.

 

[Buzzer]

Block them, report them but never stoop to their level on Twitter. Anyone can see that. He's the head of a football club not some spotty teenage oik. Have some dignity, eh?

 

[mcgoldrick]

If you are a Palace fan then yes, if not i've been mistaken haha

OK.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

COmmenting on one of the many threads about Palace that I did not start. You Brighton fans are keen on the Priceless tagline huih - you realise that's Mastercard not Amex don't you?

I just do get flummoxed by the vitiol you have against us. So much more than the football as rivalries should be. Down to the chairman's haircut and the stance he takes against the scum that threaten people online.

I'm all for the banter taking the piss after our capitulation against you and I don't really mind the constant references to the fact that you now get higher attendances than us - for nearly two full seasons too! But does it not feel a bit embarrassing to jump on every sound bite even when it is a non event?

Palace chariman vows to ban twitter trolls who visciously insult and threaten players, staff and players families. Oooh how dare he - what a joke of a man, Croydon is shit, Selhurst is falling down, he has silly hair... I mean really?

Well fair enough, and I'm sure you have the same view on the anti albion vitriol which is so extreme and prevalent in the away section of the BBS.

The thing is very few have any actual sympathy with these internet abusers and your chairman has some support in his stance.

However, these little arguments he has on twitter, particularly when he drops his professionalism and reacts with threats of bans and legal action, are to some of us very funny indeed

 

[leigull]

The owners on the whole have done a great job at Palace, can't argue there. It's just their PR skills are horrendous and provide such amusement to the likes us. The tweet on Sunday about Murray being 'nailed on' to win the award seconds before it going to Vydra was cracking.

 

[mcgoldrick]

Anyway, this is a Brighton forum. What do you think your average attendance will be come the end of the season?

 

[James Bond's body double]

Crystal palace the club that keeps on giving what more could we ask for.

Yes that is true. I give you that. However shouldn't have been Vydra should it - you must agree with that?

I think a Watford fan has done a "Downfall" bunker room subtitle jobbie on the very subject which is on YouTube

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Of course it should have been Vydra. He's a very talented footballer.

 

[Hillian1]

Well, if I'm not mistaken, the awards were voted for by the Managers of each league, so he must have got more votes than the others, so yes he deserved it.

 

[SeagullinExile]

I didn't mention his hair...but now you come to mention it, he does look like an 80's coke fiend! But seriously, how many other football league chairman/owners do you see get into a slanging match with fans on social networking sites? I kind of understand why your backing him here, but surely deep down you can see his actions are wrong, and that he should just ignore the trolls who abuse him? He truly does make your club look bad. I'm not sure which fella was threatening to turn over tables at the F.L. awards last night, but surely you can't condone that??

Edit: These Q's are for mcgoldrick, I forgot to add your quote!

 

[oldboy]

The players didnt even try at the amex and the chairman has no idea of what the match means to us chaiman players come and go and its us the fans who are the club. To ban fans is madness.
