I went into the Clifton arms beforehand he game as the stadium didn't open in time for the rugby like it said it would ..... I was in there 20minutes and will never go back. There were a few 'fans' who were just vile, sung a song about cantona then the air crash at this point another fan turned around and told them to be quiet it was not something to be singing about and they tried to start on him. It's a small minority but it's not what we want at palace! Songs with a little bit of taking the piss is fine etc but songs about a tragic event and then coin throwing is pathetic.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

I'm intrigued by the concept that a football match has to be some type of primitive baiting pit for working class numpties to vent their rage against the system and represent their 'tribe' by aggressive and abusive behaviour? I would think being the 'best fans' would include correct and decent behaviour along with making lots of noise and supporting the team no matter what.

A little banter is good fun, but pelting people going about their employment because they are a) are high profile, b) you don't like the team the play for, or c) you side isn't winning...isn't the sign of a good fan, but someone who can't take it when things get a bit tough.....making Selhurst Park an intimidating place to come to doesn't include moronic behaviour that could see the owners fined.

Tactless and unnecessary jibes about Moyes daughter because of some alleged issue with the 'darling of the terraces' Zaha really is pathetic and lacking in good grace that would only seem to spur the other side on, and devalue our own good image

Hopefully the perpatrators of these stupid acts will be caught on CCTV and get their just reward.... If you thing I am over-reacting than think about how today some papers are reporting on the moronic acts and not the brilliant display from the Holmesdale end

To add to that, I don't think the abuse was personal to Rooney. Januzaj would have taken equal (probably more as he's a diving cheat) abuse but seemed to bottle it. Whoever took their first corner down there was in for some stick.

I loved the banger and the hostility created down there but throwing objects is dangerous and not at all clever. Probably a fine on the way.

Throwing things at players is extremely cowardly and pretty pathetic. I have (slightly) more respect for the bell-end who ran on the pitch against WBA. He's clearly a tool but at least he treid to go one on one, face to face.

Shouting and boo-ing loudly would achieve the desired affect Im sure. Footballers, and especially Rooney have massive egos. To know that hundreds, if not thousands of people say what they think of him that'll do fine and in my mind is perfectly acceptable.

I like the idea of Selhurst being hostile and uncomfortable for opposing players but you must know where the line is drawn - its only a football match.

You'll be forever in my family's memories and it was an honor and privilege to play and lead in the red and blue

Personally I'm waiting for nick to post on a thread on general talk conceeding that the recession being well and truely over now that our fans can afford to throw their hard earned money on the pitch
