[Football] Letting ourselves down

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You take the internet too seriously. What you've quoted represents about a dozen people views only. Remove your head from the bubble.

Fair point. My view, also, has no value. I felt like making it, though.

Injustices on the pitch whether from officials or from the visiting team always enhances the atmosphere. Down the years certain grounds up and down the country have always been feared by visiting players, the likes of Upton Park and the Old Den. Many atmospheres derived from a feeling of injustice to all things and a distaste of the opposition. Used to be called the twelfth man. It wasn't and has never been a vocal support of their own team but a certain venom to any others in the ground.

The new grounds, all seating stadiums has sanitized many an atmosphere. I would like to think no one would want to go back to the violence but a hostile crowd does set the scene borne out by some of the best games at the Amex.

Alternatively we can sit there clap every now and again and hold up placards asking for the oppositions star player's shirt.

Twitter has been a tad embarrassing for us over the past day or so. We’ve almost reached peak Elite Club Fans level of moaning like a bunch of whining prats. Oh well.

Drove home last night and heard one fan say on the radio......." its not a bad day, Palace lost "
Dear oh dear oh dear.....every sinew in my body was screaming with frustration....why can't some people forget about Crystal Palace for one tiny millisecond of their lives and concentrate on what really matters ( although, it appears that the only thing that matters to them is Crystal Palace ) and that is talking about our game, our performance, how we were set up, changes we made, mistakes we made, plus points, negative points, improvement, are we moving forward?, could we have done better etc etc.
There is only one thing that I concentrate on and that is BHA. When I leave games, I am consumed by what I have just seen and that is all I want to talk about and think about. Yesterday, all the talk in the car was about Liverpool and BHA. Comparison, discussion and to some extent a degree of disappointment that, in a fairly tight game, we had a glimmer of hope of getting something against a very good side but had come up a little short in ambition and creativity. Cue....that comment.....cue....car full of groans....cue....realisation that fans are leaving our ground whooping and hollering in delight that Palace had lost.
I hate losing any game and yesterday, despite fairly low, pre-match expectations, I was still hurting at the end. Rivalry is fine, obsession to the exclusion of everything else, isn't. I suppose I should realise that I am fighting a losing battle but wouldn't it be agreeable to have one minute/hour/day/week on NSC when a mention of ' Palace ' doesn't crop up.

This seems an anti-NSC comment which is about so much more than just the football. Especially when it comes to Palarse.

Sorry, but then that is ridiculous.

The penalty was spot on, but that is it. Haven’t seen that level of big team bias in a long time.

Friend though, was a distant third compared to the linesman who both were staggeringly incompetent.

Liverpool, great team, deserved winners, brilliant movement, but they didn’t need the additional help they received throughout the game....

If ever there was a moment when I have though 'and exhale - this is going well' since we moved into the Amex, that moment was yesterday.

Not against your post in general, but I missed that feeling on Saturday. We certainly offered far more than in our first PL game against City, where we were just hanging on for as long as possible (we have progressed), and we weren't over-run, but I felt it was a matter of time before Liverpool would score.

This year, after a season of just wanting to stay up has been brilliant. We have really tightened our grip on staying in the best league in the world and no one so far has given a a pasting. We have let no more than three goals in any one match and not been beaten by more than two goals. We compete with every team in the league and always have a good chance of points in each and every game. We have had some great results against top sides.
What more would a boy want in a pair of shoes?

I'm with you to an extent HWT, but I think condemning half and half scarves on here is fair enough, as is complaining about the ref. I haven't yet seen any hate about scousers or Salah but if do I find any I will advise the poster that they might need to grow-up...

I don't mean the team. Yesterday we gave an excellent account of ourselves against one of the better teams currently playing in the world. We were never embarrassed, overrun or made to look second rate. If ever there was a moment when I have though 'and exhale - this is going well' since we moved into the Amex, that moment was yesterday.

However, when I pop on NSC today what do I see?

People talking about half and half scarves as if this is the start of the slippery slope and the end of civilisation as we know it.

People consumed with hatred for hub-cab stealing self-pitying scousers who (nudge nudge) deserve blame rather than sympathy for Hillsborough

People who swear they once saw yesterday's ref frolicking with Klopp in a 1970s german gay porn film

People who think that Salah is simply an Islamic version of haha, and should be shot

People......exhale, relax, get over it. You're letting yourselves down, your club down and your families down with such tin-pottery, division three-style anger and status-envy.

Until you learn to really hate to your core (through your keyboard), a section of the population you’ve never met, your views on opponents will have no value. Until then, not a true supporter.

Although in the meantime you’ll be a happy human being and less likely to keel over from a football result not going your way.

You choose.

So, you think I was a little too relaxed yesterday?

It may be some time before I meet a BHA 'fan' like the ManUre 'fan' who did some work in my house recently. Top lad, don't get me wrong. Till it came to football. I summarize:

"Brighton? "

"Yeah, I saw the highlights on MOTD"

"No, I don't really have time to watch live football"

"You've lost me there" (I mentioned something about Teddy Sheringham)

Tranquil, man.
