At the risk of sounding controversial...So bleedin what? It’s part and parcel of being anyone remotely famous or infamous these days. Hasn’t anyone cottoned on yet such online ‘threats’ aren’t in anyway remotely to be taken seriously? Just angry idiots who’ve done well to log on given their IQs. Ignore, safe in the knowledge that such idiots would detonate themselves long before mastering the art of bomb making etc.

No way should threats through social media be taken lightly and 'ignored'. I cant believe anyone would think like that.

Some people definitely let their palace hatred get the better of them in this thread.

Yeah say what you will about Zaha but that's unacceptable. He is, at the end of the day, just another human being who doesn't deserve to be subjected to that shit.

A1X · Oct 31, 2018

To all the people who are having a pop at Zaha because of this, if you supported Bong when one of our own was being attacked and having his character assassinated by Burnley fans and the press but are now piling in on Zaha, then you're a hypocrite. Plain and simple.

I can't stand the guy as a player but nobody deserves what he's got.

Dear oh dear, read on and you will hopefully understand. And do NOT imply that’s me re: your second sentence. Unless you’re deliberately trying to provoke me in which case I shall ignore.

Bobby Zamora received death threats when talk was of him going to Palace. Was it from Brighton or Palace? Who knows?

More importantly, who cares? - It's a case where tribalism should be set aside and football fans stick together and Kick It Out.

Who is having ‘a pop’ at Zaha in so far as they believe he deserves racist abuse and death threats? I don’t know a single Brighton fan who does. Evidence please - or are you just making things up?

This.

Weird one innit. Bong thinks he may or may not have heard a comment from JRod and we all back him. Get super defensive of the player, have a go at West Brom, Burnley fans on social media even though we don't really know.

Zaha receives racist abuse and we all find a way to have a go. We're better than that aren't we ?

Some of the usual suspects letting their rabid hatred of all things Palace to cloud their rational thinking.
Disappointing, but not surprised.

I hate "all things palace" postcode boy. But I would never condone racist abuse of any player from any club.

But maybe...just maybe...if he wasn't such an attention seeking, whinging, cheat he wouldn't have become a target for the internet's lunatic fringe.

Zaha is an excellent footballer who has managed to make himself into a bit of a laughing stock with his pathetic diving. Sunday's incident was both a penalty AND a dive, for which he should receive the usual sneers. And that's all.

This thread adequately demonstrates why many posters have left NSC.

Pathetic beyond belief.

People often post something and then delete it when called out on it. Who says he hasn't got a screenshot?

So everybody who posted racist abuse or death threats all happened to delete thier messages after being called out on it but nobody who called them out got screenshots that they then posted to BBS/Twitter etc and all of this happened before Zaha saw said comments in the middle in the roughly 25,000 notifications he would have received for that photo in question?

Really? You’re normally a decent poster but I I feel you’re being fairly naive here.

When a QPR fan mocked Knockaert losing his father the Tweets were plastered on here within the hour and that was a comment posted on a nobodies personal page. Yet numerous people send Zaha death threats and not one of his nearly 500k followers has posted a screenshot of the message anywhere else online?

Has anyone asked to see the proof of the threats and abuse? to confirm them would add weight to the story, instead of people just thinking shut up you baby here he goes again.

How does anyone know he is telling the truth

?

If I was sent a death threat by opposing fans, I would show the world, the reason is, if I want someone to believe my story I want to prove it in the first place.

Bit like Bong but instead of being a comment made in person with no witnesses it was a comment made where hundreds of thousands of people could see it on social media and yet there’s still absolutely no proof as far as I can tell.

Bong should never had said anything then, as he can't prove it.

Isnt the difference HAHA is saying he was sent them? If they have been sent there is the proof no?

Why does he have to 'prove' anything?

How do we know Knockaert was depressed after his dad died?
