not to forget the peeing on people from a bridge at our ground
I do suspect some palace fans have a 'point scoring' agenda here.

Where have I said Palace are exempt ?
I said ALL clubs, and if I saw a Palace fan doing this, I would sort it out without the need of police.
Take off the blinkers , it's not about Palace / Brighton, it's about right and wrong, don't even suggest I'm point scoring.

You have tens of thousands of football fans, a large number of which will be testosterone driven alpha males, there will be a number of vile individuals. I have seen Brighton "supporters" behave in a vile manner over the years. As I have people from other clubs. This is an emotive issue because of the guy in question having Downs. It was an act beyond contempt. But over the years, it is a statistical fact that Palace will have had fans that are murderers, rapists, armed robbers etc. Hopefully both clubs will have a less than average number. But considering there has been widespread condemnation from Brighton fans over this isolated act, it shouldn't become a "Our fans are better than yours" dick waving contest.

Sorting it out without the need for Police is where I am at, but it is kinda wrong, if you want to be discussing ethics.

You quite clearly said that all fans have idiots but this is another level. Clearly implying a Palace fan would never do it or anything like it.
There was a thread on this subject on here 8 days ago. It rapidly descended into unpleasantness to the point it had to be removed.
This is heading the same way already. Please stop.

your correct the police should investigate
a; what and were was dad when this happened ?--I would not have stood by and let it happen to my or anyone else's children
b; why young kids get abused in Croydon for wearing Brighton tops
c; why wear such a disgusting top in Sussex .
the fact its come back up again is odd---

The fact that the lad had downs syndrome should not be the issue as no one deserves to be attacked in this way,i think all those that keep up the banter/rivalry on here need to take some responsibility.

The lad's father said
"He praised the reaction of Brighton supporters, who inundated him with support after he posted a furious tweet about the incident."

Reverend, even back in the eighties, it was not on to physically assault a "scarfer", let alone a person with Downs.
The rivalry also produces regular Charity football matches, donations from NSC users to help a young daughter of a Palace fan get an operation in the states, as well as some added spice when we play each other.

I really don't think he meant it like that ie our idiots are bigger idiots than there's. This has nothing to do with whether they are fans or idiots or what club they support, its irrelevant they are just scum bags what ever club they follow, what colour they are, whatever just scum and they are in every town and where any football shirt (or not)

Everyone was a scarfer in the 70's loads of ordinary fans got a good kicking,the terms used on the internet are quite disgusting tbf and a little childish and boring,these are from posters who should know better. So we have to keep calling people pikeys or the remf game can't take place

Yeah, I said 80's though didn't I. In the 70's you could get your head kicked in if you went to a gig in Crawley but lived in Horsham.

Of all the rubbish spoken by you, this is just about the most ridiculous. Firstly, people are responsible for their own actions, there is no mitigation. Secondly, we Brighton fans sing about shooting Palace scum or beating them up on Boxing Day at every single match...I dare say you know a fair few people who sing that regularly, If words on the internet are partly to blame then those chants at football must be far more influential using your own measure. Do you hold them culpable?
Lastly, you have regaled us time and again with your hooligan exploits in the 70s and 80s, make no bones about it, you have glorified it and waxed lyrical about those being better times for football fans. And then you moralise on here about responsibility for things written. Physician heal thyself.
That seems a nice place to leave this thread. It was starting to descend into a binfest again. The subject was covered before and this is covering no new ground. No one in their right mind condones this behaviour and so by locking it, it will save any halfwits who do from themselves.
