It's nothing new. I've seen it happen for the over 30 years. People shout abuse at players up and down the country at every ground.

You must get easily embarrassed if a bit of shouting makes you cower and hide in shame.

I've just sat here and read every single reply to this thread and would like to add a few things.

I have sat in block B for 5 years now and I've got to know a lot of the HF lads. Most of them are really decent lads. Obviously there is a few who will fight if threatened or provoked but they are a NON VIOLENT GROUP. Most of them are just like any other fan in the ground who love palace. Some of these lads was doing there 8 hour shifts at work and then putting in another 10 hours making this display possible. They never demand it but they certainly deserve huge respect for what they do.

Re coins: Not everyone in block B is associated with the HF and with all the things they have to worry about at the moment ( Dorrans and the port manor, the papers and bad press they get) do you really think they would be that stupid? These lads are not idiots and I can almost assure you that it wasn't a HF member who threw a coin. Also remembering that if the culprit was wearing a black jacket then it doesn't necessarily mean they are HF.

Re aeroplane gestures: this is a short one. The rules were simple, anyone found doing this in the block would have been removed by HF members.

These guys are not what people make out. Anyone with any doubts about them or who continuously slate them maybe come down when they are setting out the next display. Have a look before you judge the book by its cover.

That's may be Tippee, but most contributers here are just keen to identify the silly boys doing this 'stuff'and trying to get it stopped. Its no good for them and does even less for the average football supporter. So any idea who these morons are? My apologies to any good fellows among the HF. Just concerned, like you.
