"You're just a shit Crystal Palace"

[Bozza]

Didn't hear it during the game, but it was booming out of the South Stand concourse after the game.

 

[BFC]

It was an embarrassing chant which I and around 50% of our other fans didn't join in with, largely due to the fact it doesn't even make any sense. If a club sang "you're just a shit Fulham" or a variation of that which scanned at us, I'd be nonplussed.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Brentford fans thought they were being clever, but failed to realise that their chant was guilty of semantic pleonasm.

Its grammatically incorrect to say black darkness, big giant or shit Crystal Palace as the descriptor is made redundant by the very nature of the thing being described.

That is so very true. Why oh why can't football supporters learn proper grammar?

Shame they couldn't fill their away allocation. 70 mile journey must have been too much for them.

A lot of them were moaning about the transport. Poor things.

 

[Return of the Rev]

I'd say it was....it started just after Murrsy fired a shot wide...maybe we need a Brentford fan to confirm

Or just get on with our lives? Its not that important really unless we are competing for tinpot club of the year

Was that the first time ever an opposition team has managed to acknowledge who our most hated rivals are and goad us with it? Certainly is in my time of going to matches. Had to applaud the Brentford fans in a way for their footballing wisdom.

Normally when I'm recognised as an Albion fan on the road I get stuff sung at me about Portsmouth and Southampton.

Well as someone who was in the Brentford entourage yesterday, I suspect this was their way of reminding you of the events of 13th May 2013. That irony would not have been lost on at least one Albion player, who seemed to me to be frankly the whole match going through the motions (titter).

Somewhat iroincally the one Palace player most stirred up that day returned to his best form at the Riverside yesterday afternoon. If Brighton had matched that result earlier this year, they would have been facing Palace yesterday in the drizzle, not Brentford. Aaaah..

A bit like "Albion in the Premiership" is Dreamology.

So basically what you're saying is, rather than support your team in the Premier League you'd rather spend your time at the Amex.

For a game featuring a club I support and can stand up and watch for relatively little (as I used to do before all seater stadia were made mandatory for the top two tiers of football) I am happy to visit the wonder of the AMEX for £22. I waited four years until I felt the time was right even though for historical reasons I have been involved with the fight for the stadium being built in the first place.

Incidentally I hear a lot of Albion supporters are going to be disappointed as Burton Albion have space for only 500 away supporters. Will they have seats?

Burton Albion have away seats, and an away terrace for fans. I've been there, have you?

I thank you for your efforts, and I mean that. But you are still a tw@t.

Love it, a Palace fan glory hunting as a Brentford fan, you couldn't make it up! Presumably Palace are your 'third club' behind Brentford and Chelsea.

I don't believe Palace have ever actually played Burton Albion. We don't spend much time in the lower leagues.

Well you would have if you stopped cheating and going into administration. ...

No Bees are my "family" club as opposed to "The club I supported from when I was a kid". My maternal grandfather watched 'em and my uncle claimed he had trials for them. But that would have been about 1930, they don't keep records of reserves games I gather. And he's long dead.
You don't get much glory as a Bees fan, but we certainly got some yesterday afternoon. Tour fans wert leaving the West Stand with about 20 minutes to go!
