The applause today was great and the message leading up to it was perfect too.
Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshipping.

Thanks to Mike Rankine who did a fantastic job in giving a moving tribute. Lovely round of applause from the majority of Palace fans. I was quite moved. I have a video I will try and post later. Shame the PA was so quiet for the song. Despite this if staffie was watching he would have been very moved. I also saw a board in block B or C of the lower Holmesdale which simply read "RIP staffie" in red and blue.
Thanks also to Jonny match day programme editor for the tribut on page 34. He took a long tribute and managed to distill it nicely to around 120 words at very short notice.
