It great to read everyones comments and I havent been on here for a while.BUT I want us to win!!!
I started supporting back in the 1968/69 and will never change!! Yes I have my moans but the refs and linesman are a joke and their decisions have delated the players. I always thought the lino that runs for Claterbad was terrible, how did he not see the hand ball allowing Arsenal goal, we should play in all red because he favours that colour!! Why do we get them officials!!!

Any way back to Middlesborugh match, we need to all remain positive and get behind our team, true supporters will and only those who come because we are in the premier league will voice so much negativity vibes (I hear them walking to & from the ground and on the trains, I wont be back next season).. show loyality!!, can you please let true supporters be "loud & proud" and get them to try too!!!

My idea for the match is "end to end Holmesdale wall of Palace scarfs, you see it at Anfield so why cant we!
Please come up with great ideas how we can improve the atmosphere, we true supporters have to help the players relax and win!!! We need them to change, we need to change in our approach too!!

What would you suggest we do for a positive effect.
Its valentines day. "Love the Palace!"

Scarfs are for Children and Women dont think i will involve myself. I will clap the players on the pitch, get behind them vocally and hope they show the same passion that some of the fans do.

Any risk that the players might start singing: "You're not fit to wear the scarf!"

Personally, I back the team whatever . . . Even if they're losing 50-0 in the first ten minutes.

I thought everyone went way over the top in slagging off the players after the S'land defeat.

Four errors were all punished. How flukey is that?

Meanwhile, their goal was charmed, so we scored none.

As someone said, results often hinge on a) luck b) fine margins and c) refereeing decisions.

If the match were to be played again, the scoreline would probably be the other way round.

I completely agree with this. While 90% of the time us supporters have a big role to play during the match with singing, encouragement, applause for a smart bit of skill, basically showing the love. But....that other 10% is when we have watched week after week after week of inept dross, sloppy decision making, awful performances. This is when WE need THE PLAYERS to give us something to cheer/get excited about for a change.
I am all for roaring on the boys against Boro from start to finish. It could be our last chance to try and climb out of trouble but we seriously are owed a performance. We'll forgive most things on the pitch if the commitment is there. We want to see some fight, ambition, passion, desire, strength (mentally as well as physically) and real pride.
Give us that on the pitch and the atmosphere will take care of itself.

Me thinks the OP sells scarves in Holmesdale Road.

I'd start leaving it at home if I was you!
