[Palace] Phantom Sh*tter

[Dougie]

I honestly don't think people care like that. In the same way that, if Palace get in the news about it now, people won't form opinions on them either.

They are just too precious .

So there wasn't actually a police probe. Ok since you're going to be all human and reasonable about it, cards on the table. Yes, if the board were aware and I mean properly aware then it's not ideal and Brighton have been a bit shafted. I would then say that's unfortunate.

What has surprised me though is the moral high ground that some have taken and the flap that some have got into. Also the misplaced sense of importance of all this. I can only feel it's fuelled by frustration at never getting the better of Palace (and that isn't a sly dig).

I dunno it just seems funny. I don't think anyone thought worse of Brighton as a club in the first place. Most neutrals probably thought it was Poyet cos "he looks the type",

So you're basically saying that Palace are a top flight club in name only, a club playing in a crumbling stadium that got shat into the top flight by default, a club that, when in the FA Cup draw all the lower league clubs hope they don't get because it's not really drawing a top flight club in the real sense and there would be as much glamour in drawing MK Dons or Preston North End.

Precious or not, there is right and there is wrong.

No idea what you are talking about mate. Don't think I said any of that. The stadium is a bit shit though I'll give you that.

I think most football fans had a good laugh about it then forgot all about it . What comments were made about it by our manager and chairman ?

Someone else can help me out with the Parish remarks on twitter as I'm not on it. But holloway : The Palace boss said: ‘I’d like to thank that person because you did me the biggest favour ever. I didn’t have to gee up anyone. I just had to calm them down. So how stupid are you? We were already in the zone, but I’ll never forget the look on Wilfried Zaha’s face.

‘I don’t hold that against people because I believe things like that come back on you. It never ceases to amaze me how low some people will go.’

And all along it was you lot. It never ceases to amaze me how low Palace can go.
Nuff said.

There is. But there is also important and unimportant.

Holloway didn't know at that stage

But it hasn't got actual shit in it?

 

[Captain Sensible]

Holloway didn't know at that stage

It doesn't matter, he said it, further reports and apologies etc came out and Holloway may or may not have known. Either way Palace stoked it up and then sat back and let Brighton take the blame. Someone at your club knew straight away.

If you cannot grasp how important this matter is to Brighton fans then please stop posting on this thread. You have made your point.

Yes it states in the rules ( quiet clearly ) that if a team gets accused of sh*tin in the toilet, and then it turns out it was someone from the team making acusations. Then the game must be replayed.

just hope

We don't know that. It could've been something that came out over time.

I bet the bus driver wishes that.

Horton hears a few 50 n.o.

Would you seriously want to go through all that again.

 

[fat old seagull]

I'd like to be considered to drive the team bus next time we visit Smellhurst (next season). I guarantee it will live up to its name.

How do you know what Holloway knew and when? MCarthy has admitted the players knew who it was, so why didn't Holloway?

I've no idea what that means but thanks.

Yes, but not with the current team.

 

[melias shoes]

Just so you're all aware, because I'm sure you really, really want to know

I'm sure it'll please you to know that Paddy McCarthy revealed at a testimonial evening for our Jules that our Coach Driver was ill the night before and in his words "it was coming out of both ends" when he and the kit man delivered our kit on the Sunday evening.

He tried to clear it but made it worse.

No-one else went it to clear it, and it's still there when the team arrived the next day.

Paddy: "We wouldn't be in the Premier League if it wasn't for that driver. 'Olly wasn't happy"
Cheers to that driver

Tell us something we didn't know. Some of us anyway.

Last night Paddy said that Holloway went off on one over it before the game. He didn't know at that time, he thought it was a Brighton job.
