That **** in the Palace shirt at the Lewes game

Seriously, why would anyone do that and then feign surprise when people called him a c*nt?

He clearly wore it for a reaction and he got many yet appeared surprised by the comments. Utter attention-seeking knob jockey. Surprised if he didn't end up getting slapped even after he saw sense in the second half and covered up. Would I wear a Brighton top to a Dulwich Hamlet v Palace game? No, I'd have a bit of respect. C*nt.

And yes, I did call him that to his face

Hope he was treated like the sheriff in 'Blazing saddles'?

Did he have V's flicked in his direction?

Maybe he's just arrived early for the REMF match.

This isn't the first time palace fans have decided this fixture is a good idea to give it big 'un! Back in 2008 there was a similar issue. A couple of palace fans were given stick inside the ground. It became too much for them so they claimed to be "brighton fans on a themed stag do." They went for a pint in the landsdowne after the game, which apparently was being occupied by the BYF for some reason? Needless to say the palace got run out. Then some cars were rocked by the BYF and a fair amount of beer was spilt. Then everyone called it a day.

Same as the knobs near me, they have a massive palace flag in their back garden on a pole. You can't miss as you drive past. It's done on purpose too wind brighton supporters up. Lack of respect for the area. They have only been down here a few years, obviously sold up and came down because their own area was crap

I know what you're saying, but wouldn't be great some Brighton fans did the same thing in Croydon or Thornton Heath or . . . wait a minute, aren't they all Chelsea fans that live there now?

Aside from that, I believe Palace's hard core fans use a pub called the Albion - I wonder how they cope with that one?

I like football and rugby.
When i lived in England i was a Season ticket holder for the Albion.
I was also an avid Bath rugby club fan and went to their games too, my friend is a leicester fan.
I dont know if anyone here knows anything about rugby but Bath and leicester are bitter rivals. We went to a bath v leicester game together, at leicester. I sat with him amongst the leicester fans in the 'hardcore supporters' area and yes i wore my bath shirt. I didn't feel intimidated, or that i shouldnt wear my shirt. I enjoyed some friendly banter with the fans in the area and suffered nothing what i would refer to as 'abuse'.

These things are games at the end of the day, and people that take it further than that, and actually start abusing people or threaten violence and intimidation need to take a long hard look at themselves.

As an aside, i now live in Norway, and regularly go and see Rosenborg, the best team (arguably) in Scandinavian football. The atmosphere in the ground is electric. I go in the supporters end, safe standing and flares allowed. But the biggest difference between the two games, is that NONE of the rosenborg chants are aimed at the other teams. They are ALL about rosenborg, their players and supporting their team rather than 'having a pop' at the other teams. There is no abusing of their own players. English football supporters could learn a lot.

The violence is on the pitch with Rugby. :rolleyes:

Probably, but I wouldn't walk around Croydon in Brighton shirt. I don't expect to see a Palace flag in Sussex. If they had any class about them or respect they wouldn't put it up. Just my opinion.

Alternatively what did the highly offended Albion fans do?

It would appear the same as we've ALWAYS done, even back a 'the good old days'.

Oh and that's a fact I am particularly proud of, well done again Albion fans.
