[Albion] The Rivalry Is Finished

[Gazwag]

What happened to the media bull about noisiest fans? When losing, they’re stony silent …. for 40 minutes.

When Olise went off on 55 there was a steady stream of departees, non stop.

They forgot to put the 4 tv microphones in front of the stand so it sounds loud on tv

Only about of a third of them need to be there. They don’t seem to mind the overtime for standing around doing nothing.

That's not on the officers; that's on the powers that be deciding where to deploy them.

Think of the years we were struggling, and how they rubbed our faces in it.
The tables have now turned.
I will not be ditching my hatred of Palace any time soon.

why will you be hating Ditchling? it quite a nice little village

Having been through it since the beginnings, yes. I am fully aware.

I was seven years old at the time, and all that has passed. If anyone thinks the Palace match has a bit of an edge to it, all well and good. Anyone who is driven by an inherited hatred needs to grow up.

Palace are nothing more than a pantomime villain.

The rivalry is fun and has done a lot of good too. REMF etc. I actually quite like Palace because they are a proper club with local fans. I've never met a Palace supporter I didn't get on with. Lots of ribbing, no hatred.

Good for you, however whether you think they need to grow up or not, the hatred is still very much there, and will take a long time to fade if it ever does. Whilst there were many who lept to their feet today to sing "stand up if you hate palace" for a bit of a laugh, there were still those around me vociferous with their c words flung at the Palace fans, with wanker hand gestures and continual baiting of the palace fans, from our very far away safe distance. Amongst them were children, doing the same thing as their parents.

As I said and I think you missed the point, it is being passed down to fans who have no idea what it is about, so it will be around for some while yet.

The volume of police there prevented lots of trouble at a 15.00 kick off on a Saturday.
Rather than slate them (which is too easy) I'd say we'll done to them.
Had a few beers in the North concourse after and they closed the shutters where Palace were trying to get in. much
All very well organised and safe.
Well done to the club and sussex police.
No need to debate this, we have just SMASHED Palace...

Not sure the rivalry is over for some of our players. They know.

 

[Weststander]

I'd also say that a person has to the right to self defence. A frothy mouthed, coked up fool who goes raging at someone else has no right to complain if they get decked.

I don’t condone violence, but on this occasion I can’t get worked up about oaf v oaf. The puncher will possibly get a life ban from Albion games.

Do these people on either side ever think of things such as cameras and consequences.

 

[Diablo]

I love beating anyone, prob palace more than most . However I don`t hate Palace, And their 76 year old manager has my respect.

It's just a bloody word ffs
Don't take it too literally
Imagine singing 'stand up if you dislike palace'

 

[AlexBH]

This rivalry is not over after one good result!

 

[Garyoldfan]

I think that’s Palace on the left !!

It’s not

There were people blaming the police for the trouble at WBA last week as well. Sad really. A bit too desperate to deflect from the utter knobheads the police protect us from.

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

It’s done, it’s over, after today’s showing both on and off the pitch they are now an irrelevance !

A few spotty kids flicking the v’s at us whilst safely behind a barricade of police was the best they could do on the way in, almost silent after they went one nil down and a half empty stand an hour into the game

There’s no real passion in it anymore, and to be honest it’s more annoying to see that many coppers to kettle a gang of teenagers that couldn’t fight their way out of a soggy paper bag…….i mean they didn’t even bring any pyros this time !

Are you on crack? It will never be over.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

This is quite amusing or actually quite sad, this from their self proclaimed “top boy” surprised no one was about at 08:45am

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Pathetic wankers throwing punches at strangers. Whether Palace or Albion doesn’t matter. Ban the lot of 'em.

The bizarre parallel universe where we’re told at potentially violent fixtures with history, there are either too many or too few police, and its their fault.

He was there at 8:45 to avoid Albion fans.

Pics or it didn't happen. What an early bird tit. Probably lives in Brighton and had just finished his paper round.

 

[Oh_aye]

They were very quiet today.

Yep. Seem as their team flat, with ropey body language from the kick off.
