Quote Mapletree at 23 Apr 2014 10.01am I was at Ayresome Park when Palace got promoted. The Middlesborough fans stayed behind after the (boring draw) game to specifically clap the Palace players who did a lap of honour. Such damned plastics those Borough fans, what were they thinking? Surely they should have been exercising causal disregard. Different context. For one thing, we will be celebrating our own very important achievement that day, which as I recall Middlesborough were not particularly doing back then. If this was "any other game" for Palace (i.e. just a meaningless end-of-season encounter in a meaningless season in which we'd finished mid-table for the fifth year running) then possibly we might be indifferent to a bit of Liverpool partying. But the fact is, the pent-up emotion of the relegation battle and the positive momentum of recent weeks make the Liverpool game the summit of a massive Palace achievement and an opportunity for our supporters to take centre stage and release their emotions. I suspect those are likely to be considerable, given how proud we are all are. As others have said, Liverpool can do that at Anfield the following week. That'll be their moment to let their hair down. One of the standards Palace, and Palace supporters in particular, have set this year is to turn the clocks back to the sort of passionate and noisy support you could expect at games when I grew up, when simply being at a football match was an experience (for the noise and singing alone). The perfect way to end a season in which our team and fans have achieved so much would be -- on national TV -- to show Palace fans supporting Palace, completely indifferent to the bigger picture. Because that's the sort of attitude that once made football great and we are trying to engender again. It's why commentators, players, and other supporters are all talking about us. If you want other teams partying in your front room then all that'll be left of the game is a prawn sandwich. How we behave on Monday week will make a statement about what we are, what we believe, and for that matter what's really good about football. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

Would any of the w@nkers advocating that we sing the scousers anthem at our ground, would you expect Fulham to sing Glad all over at their place on the last day? The very idea is embarrassing.

Surely they should have been exercising causal disregard. There is a difference between a clap and singing their own song FFcv***gSakes. ^^^^ Exactly this. If we finished mid table in the Championship after a pretty tepid season with little to write home about and we played a team that was fairly neutral to us, but had achieved something amazing like promotion, then I'm not beyond giving them a polite clap. World of difference to singing another teams song, especially one of the "big six" who demand success every season and swagger with the arrogance of expecting to turn us over every game. We've managed to get a reputation for reportedly the best supporters in the premier league thanks to the vocal support of the fans. Would you not think that somehow it would send out a message that we now "know our place" as we've bowed down to the mighty scousers (as no doubt they would need to win the game to win the league thus triggering this proposed singing debacle) and are now so humble that we've started singing their songs? We'd look like a bunch of fcking w@nkers frankly. As for your comment MT, not sure what plastic fans have to do with any of this but personally whatever team plays Palace I don't give two hoots about and have no interest (a casual disregard if you will) in their achievements unless they achieve something of particular worth or it's one of our traditional rivals. Personally I don't think Liverpool winning the league fits in with that as it'll always be one of the "big six" who win it, unless another team goes through a complete restructure with an incredible amount of investment from a foreign sugar daddy. Frankly the finishing locations in the league for those six clubs doesn't interest me at all, nor does who wins the league. All I'm interested in is Palace beating Liverpool so I can have bragging rights over a work mate of mine come Tuesday morning. I really couldn't give a flying f*ck if Liverpool, Chelsea or Man City win the league and I certainly won't be singing YNWA if Liverpool win it. The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots

I would happily clap Liverpool if they won it mathematically at Selhurst and they paraded a trophy around. But singing their songs, with them? Not for me. I respect them as champions and they have done well. They deserve a clap of respect, not flattering them by singing their songs. Lets just make sure that the Liverpool fans know our songs by the end of the match.
