If there was no reason for the coach-driver (not employed by Palace) to do the messy deed don't you think that would not have come out at the time? And like I pointed out on an earlier post, it's not that threats to disrupt the Palace squad had not been made before the game, on NSC at least...

Go back through these pages and you will find Albion fans admitting that the bus was deliberately delayed from supplying the team-kit to the away dressing room. It was also admitted that Poyet had already experienced this dubious practice and frowned on it. That would explain why he was so angry...

Sadly true. I saw my first Palace game in 1966, but supported my "local" club years before that, but was in a "rugby" family. Round-ball stuff was frowned on. It wasn't until some time later I discovered family links to Brentford which is why they are my second team. I remember listening to an...

All adverts are ridiculous but they must be reaching a potential (if not a potent) audience. Maybe the West Pier isn't the only erection in Brighton that's always collapsing.

UM........ that's why we played Vince Hilaire at a time when Brighton didn't have an ethnic player on their books. And Wright, Bright, Salako, Shaw, etc. afterwards. We draw our talent from across the spectrum. Simmons wasn't a Palace fan 100%.

True, you could be travelling First Class soon...but then at the same time we'll be Premier class. When is your club going to publicly apologise for trying to disrupt an opponent from preparing for the game in adequate time? Get on with your own battles, staying up will be hard enough. Funny...

"And Smith Will Score..." zzzzzzz. Four years of glory thirty years ago, you haven't played Arsenal, let alone beaten them, in the League since.

They were, and Poyet made them apologise no doubt at the time. Now is the time for Albion to 'fess up that a deliberate attempt was made to delay the preparation of the Palace team for a key match. It's already been admitted on this thread by Albion supporters that this happened and that Poyet...

I agree when your Club has had the decency to publicly aopologise for trying to influence the preparation of my team for a key match worth over £100m (per the "argus" by wilfulling misdirecting the team coach conveying the kit in order to delay the team's entry into the changing area. For...

You've got a long wait buddy. Better have a sh*t whilst you're hanging around..

So now we know, it was a trick performed by Albion staff to delay the team kit being delivered to the dressing-room. Presumably to force the Palace players to hang around waiting and therefore disturb their concentration. So when the poor driver eventually had to visit for a number two he...

Really? Being deliberately jammed in a vehicle whilst having no way to relieve yourself and under stress is irrelevant? I think not. And I bet the Palace management and players didn't think so either at the time.

No doubt consulting their lawyers... would you take Muzza as a penitence?

Seems to be an admittance here that (a) the coach was deliberately held up and (b) the Albion management, realising that had caused the driver so much stress that he lost control of his bodily functions, apologised to Palace. That's where it should have been left but the media got hold of the...

Que? (As Calderon might say)

Sadly the sh*t might now hit the fans, rather than the fan...

What time did this all take place? Were Palace delayed outside the ground, therefore causing stress to the driver? Did he feel the urgent need to relieve himself rather than perform his duties (bit strange as not a Palace employee, just a driver)? I can envisage a stressed-up bloke behind the...

I must admit I'm embarrassed though, McCarthy should have kept his gob shut. Wonder who in the audience asked the question... the bloke has been sent off enough times in a Palace shirt over the years, I'm surprised they let him represent them at a public function like that.

Was it also not true that the coach was delayed an inordinately long time from getting into the AMEX carpark and discharging its passengers? On NSC in the run-up to the game, delaying the coach as well as more extreme measures like disturbing the players in the hotel the night before were put...
