[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[loz]

Sorry I am late to the party.

I have been away and looked at my phone at 5 on Saturday saw the score and haven’t really thought that much more of it.

Brighton at the moment are a better team it is as simple as that so a lose was not unexpected. What has pissed me off is hearing about fans leaving at HT and those that stayed having a go at the players.

Seeing the pictures of them they look around 15 or 16, so don’t really remember losing 3 nill at home to Scunthorpe and Crewe, so they are just typical premier league fans who think palace should by right beat teams like Brighton. It one of the things that really gets me about self entitled premier league fans ( and not just palace fans)

Gone are the days of watching palace 3 down against Crewe on a foggy Tuesday night and singing about the fog, there was a “ all in it together “ spirit which seemed stronger the shiter we were.

About a thousand of yours had hopped off by about the hour mark... it wasn't a couple of JCL teens

I wonder if having that money in the club helps him with the taxman for other interests?

No, it continues the family interest that goes back for more than 50 years. Or 4 times the lifespan of CPFC2010 to put it in context. He just happens to be very wealthy.

Do some 15 and 16 year olds take Cocaine these days? They seemed deranged in their hate of Andersen and another player.

Seriously? We, to them are a 'team like'?

Didn’t mean to sound quite like that, but why would you be so annoyed losing away from home by a ream in the top 10 ?
Rivalry or no rivalry it’s no excuse in my book.

This reads like the Board made those decisions in a vacuum. The fans turned on their young coaches because they lost a few games. The fans wanted them sacked. They welcomed the dinosaurs that came in to replace them, and at least in the case of Roy's return, they got fully behind him when he showed a bit of success (despite it being a level of success Vieira was have had if they stuck with him). I feel it's important to highlight this, because they are part of the problem, too.

Quite. Palace played very well against us at the AMEX last season. They would definitely have got results in the easier games they had after us irrespective of the manager in charge.

As I say I haven’t seen any of it, but that’s disappointing to hear, but not unexpected, Palace are struggling on the pitch and need support not that sort of shit.

Sorry I am late to the party.

No need to apologise, at least your internet is still working.

Supporting Palace can do that to you.

Brighton at the moment are a better team it is as simple as that so a lose was not unexpected.

Indeed. Although I imagine you hoped it wouldn't be the most goals we've put past you since '56.

Are they? We watched Brighton 4 down at Luton on a cold Tuesday night 7 days ago.

Did we not lose 3 nil in the late 70s and a few years ago as well ?

As Dunk's goal went in - the rest of the stand was the same.

As Mateta scored

If you think we only put 3 past you on Saturday, I've got some bad news for you


(yes, I know the GD is the same, but I said the most goals past you since '56, which is correct)

Ha ha, no I mean losing by 3 goals, at least we had 1 successful attack, but I will never know how many attacks as probably like you after Luton I will never watch this game ( mind you I can say that about many games this season )

 

[Motogull]

Lots to enjoy in this...

Jordan getting digs in on Beaky will always be funny.

It's difficult to know what the actual gripe Palace fans have with their board / manager / players.

A combination of seeing (a) us qualify for Europe last season (b) seeing West Ham (not that long ago in the second tier) win a Euro cup last season and (c) seeing us (mostly) and West Ham doing well in Europe and the league this season. Also, haven't they been in the EPL longer than Villa? If we were pretty close to them in the league there would be none of their nonsense; more like them boasting how well they were doing on a shoestring then getting stiff about BHA debt. In short, Beaky's luck has run out at the same time TB's plan came to fruition. Seeing us overtake them and leave them behind hurts as does seeing other clubs doing much better from a later start. It then becomes easy to protest at Roy's antifootball and question Beaky's abilities to appoint the right manager, bring in more supportive investors and release funds to bolster the squad.

Maybe Beaky was right all along about Dibley and keeping them there until he left on a free was better than bollocksing up a transfer fee received?

A lot of their fans have got some front. Who do they think they are?

 

[Triggaaar]

Ha ha, no I mean losing by 3 goals

Yeah I figured that, but I hadn't commented on the goal difference, just the number.

at least we had 1 successful attack, but I will never know how many attacks as probably like you after Luton I will never watch this game ( mind you I can say that about many games this season )

Yep, I can empathise there. I don't even watch other teams on MOTD when we lose.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

These ungrateful ultra cry babies are more detrimental than anything else. Constantly protesting about everything, creating a negative atmosphere and ruining match days for proper football fans. They should try a home match at Reading and see how hard done by really feels.

 

[NorthLainer]

I think the train has left that station and heading into another region altogether, still they can partner up with Crawley for rivalry son.

At least if they did that they could really have an M23 Derby (almost)!

I think many of us here can agree with that. This is THE golden age to be a Brighton supporter and I’m loving every moment but…

There was something special about those away days against Leyton Orient when we were sat at the arse end of the league. I wouldn’t swap those days for the world. All part of the crazy journey.

I wonder if having that money in the club helps him with the taxman for other interests?

It does, in the short term, as I guess he's not earning interest on it, but like all tax, I'd love to be paying £2m a year in tax, as that would also mean I'd be earning it. If you have all your immediate needs and long term needs more than covered I guess your family club can get a "soft" loan?

Can't agree more, there are fewer of those you recognise from away games, got lifts from, borrowed a beer or two on the train etc, it seems it's just about the result now and not the absolute joy you get from leaving home looking forward to a day of laughter, beers and seeing your team getting dicked a couple of hundred miles away.

Afterall, we all remember Withdean!
