I don't quite believe what i'm reading on this forum since the game yesterday. What the hell has happened to the spirit and togetherness of everybody since that day at Wembley last year?

Maybe it's the sudden overload of armchair supporters making an appearance since promotion to the premier league but c'mon people this isn't the palace way.

Throwing bottles and coins and opposing players, singing about the managers daughter in such a derogatory fashion and 'fans' arguing with each other on this forum week in week out? This wasn't what our promotion was about, Some people seem to forget we are a community driven club from South London, Of course we were never expected to beat any of these big teams coming to 'our club', a win would be superb, but get realistic people... what kind of image does it portray on this club if people have to resort to throwing items at one of the biggest players in the world AND on live TV? This season was all about respect... respecting the players and teams who have earnt their place in the premier league, respecting our own team, management and owners and most importantly respecting each other.

Although it was a small minority of people yesterday, As a palace supporter I was sickened to see and hear what was being thrown and sung.

Time to respect what this club has given you as a supporter and give a little back in return by supporting this club how we did at Wembley in May.

I'd like to point out the fight which took place around row 20 of B block yesterday had nothing to do with the HF or any of the B block 'regulars'. There were lots of day trippers in the stand yesterday, including in blocks A,B and C many of whom were the pissed up scummy pikey type who only show up for the 'big' games. From what I could see they started brawling against themselves. f***ing embarassing.

As for the banter against Moyes's daughter, it's a little precious to be offended by it. Sticks and stones...He gets paid well enough to know its a pantomime.

This idea that there is a 'Palace supporter' who lives and acts a certain way and that when an idiot turns up and does something stupid that they are letting the side down is just mistaken.

Fans are an unfiltered collection of people whose only connection...In many cases, is the club they support.

For every hundred of them you are going to get your noisy ones, quiet ones, arseholes, gentlemen/ladies/trouble makers/idiots and so on.

When the idiots choose to join up together for their 'banter' then things can get out of hang.....Same as it ever was, different day, same s***.

That's just the reality of the situation.

Making appeals to some mythical idea you have of what a supporter of Palace should be is going to hold no actual weight with the people who are different to you.

You might as well ask a monkey or Wayne Rooney to explain general relativity.

As for people arguing on Hol.....We have been doing that since....When since I've been on here anyway and it strikes me as nothing out of the ordinary.

Hope it hasn't come across that I'm blaming the HF for the coin throwing or the fighting it was clear that the people throwing were behind the HF. I'm in block D holmesdale and could see this.

Let's agree to disagree about the Moyes daughter chant.
