Police to hunt down gay-slur Palace Fans'

[Titus]

"Police have vowed to hunt down Palace fans who chanted homophobic slogans before and after yesterday's derby match. More than 100 fans hurled anti-gay taunts and set off smoke bombs as they were marched up Western Road before the game.
The chants continued during and after the match as as rival fans squared up outside of the stadium. A police spokesman said officers were deployed with videos and if offences were committed then those responsible will be identified."

 

[Trigger]

Really?... I didn't hear any Palace fans ALL DAY?...

 

[Puppet Master]

Good

 

[Common as Mook]

Excellent.

Gubbed 3-0 and their fans embarassed themselves all day long with silence, homophobia and coin luzzing.

Probably made it up.

So if they were in the Police escort being trooped through town, why didn't they arrest them all then?

Do you think that all the north stand will be arrested for singing "we've just done you up the ****" ?

Page 5, argus. Read it myself as well this morning.

To be honest, singing homophobic songs at Brighton station has to be looked into, if they take anti homophobic legislation seriously.

the police cameras were quality waterproof jobs and the policewomen filming with them were rather nice too

Some gems posted on the Holmesdale online. This little cracker caught my eye.

Night nurse aids restful sleep, Brighton n Priests can give u aids. Going to Brighton u may get done up the arse, Losing to Brighton gives u the arse, so in conclusion Brighton is all about the arse, can't argue with Logic!

It's not so bad in the confines of the stadium, but if they chant this sort of stuff in the streets around kids then they deserve to be prosecuted. If any of us did this we'd be arrested in no time.

Arresting them at the time would have caused it to kick off and would have caused uneccessary bother. People aren't so brave or stupid when they get arrested at home by a couple of officers the following week without an army of beered up mates to back them up.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

We all know absolutely sod all will be done. It is just lip service. Anyway we set a bad example as the Police and Stewards just stand there and do nothing when this abuse is chanted in and around The Amex.

You say that, Mick, but I quite liked this line in their live blog yesterday: The final indignity for Palace fans was having to practically wade through a lake to reach the platform.

Honk.

Oh I don't know. It might've given the legion of Robocops something to do.

Are you serious.

How about general swearing, offensive chanting about 'Pikey Scum' and 'Burn your own town down', which coincidently must of impacted quite severely on many many families and their businesses.

If you want to be the morality police, do so at your peril.

But remember you need to be consistent.
