The rivarly will live on for a long time yet. The issue is that most of the people standing up today singing "we hate palace" have no idea why...
Maybe they don't hate Palace ? I mean, you don't have to hate them do you ? Some of us don't like hating.

I hate losing to them. But I don't hate them. I have no cause to.

I mean, obviously it’s not 🙄 but you have to admit other than the score line, it was quite a damp squid today
Well, we were at Vauxhall Motors v Bootle so I’ll have to take your word for it. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the score updates from the Amex and occasionally listening to the commentary though. The main problem is you would have to change your user name.

What happened to the media bull about noisiest fans? When losing, they’re stony silent …. for 40 minutes.

When Olise went off on 55 there was a steady stream of departees, non stop.
Absolutely laughable to hear 3-1 and you still don't sing when they decided to pipe up after their goal and it momentarily went quiet in our end. Absolute jokers 🤣

Think of the years we were struggling, and how they rubbed our faces in it.
The tables have now turned.
I will not be ditching my hatred of Palace any time soon.

You're aware of the reasons for the rivalry?
Having been through it since the beginnings, yes. I am fully aware.

I was seven years old at the time, and all that has passed. If anyone thinks the Palace match has a bit of an edge to it, all well and good. Anyone who is driven by an inherited hatred needs to grow up.

Palace are nothing more than a pantomime villain.

The rivalry is fun and has done a lot of good too. REMF etc. I actually quite like Palace because they are a proper club with local fans. I've never met a Palace supporter I didn't get on with. Lots of ribbing, no hatred.

A shame to see a palace lad get decked 😔
??

I don't condone violence, but watch the palace lad who gets a slap, greenish jacket, red top, jeans and desert boots, he comes from behind the lad pinned on floor getting nicked, goes right up to Brighton fans and is either right in face or giving it large/trying to have a go, someone gives him a whack.

He shouldn't be punched but looks like he was at best stupid, at worst asking for it?

I'd also say that a person has to the right to self defence. A frothy mouthed, coked up fool who goes raging at someone else has no right to complain if they get decked.

Wonder if they said the same when we were struggling?
Plenty did argue for that online. And I remember an old colleague who was trying to convince me that Millwall was a more realistic rivalry lol. Lovely bloke but that was a bit silly.
