Think this might have caused a bit of a tension between the two sets of directors when this was unfurled at the start of the match. Can't believe that it was smuggled in so must have been erected with the approval of the club. I'm so Palace I don't even know it

Perhaps I'm missing something but not sure how they content of the banner could be construed as racist? Seems very frivolous that it would be even investigated by Croydon Police.

Too late by then.

It's a brilliant banner. Well done to those responsible.

Outstanding effort from the HF today. Let's hope it inspires similar in every away ground throughout the season, as well as at home games. The waddling penguin scum are going to have to get used to it.

Sadly freedom of speech no longer exists it would appear, goodness knows how this can be called racist when it was only saying what most us are already aware of as we read in the "free "press. Another storm in a teacup or should I say teatowel.

The waddling penguin scum are going to have to get used to it. Is it not a magpie? Although I did think it was a penguin at first. Not a big fan of that lot but think they did a brilliant job with this banner. Shocked that I saw more than a few of their fans with Saudi flags near the station.

Unlucky on the result lads. The banner was fantastic though. Lets hope the rest of the PL keep it up. From the half of Tyne & Wear who dont cut people up with a bone-saw and melt the body parts in acid Edited by mackemlad (23 Oct 2021 9.23pm)

Politics has no place in football, whether it is unfurling banners about human rights issues abroad or taking the knee. The sentiment will have support from a lot of people, but you can't blame the fans or players of Newcastle. One is left wondering how the rules on ownership have allowed this to happen. It's hard not to be cynical.

The waddling penguin scum are going to have to get used to it. Nothing racist there, I agree with AERO that the truth hurts. If every club they visit does this their 'sportswashing' might backfire and draw the attention of a global audience to the atrocities committed. How long before the Premier Arselicking League threatens sanctions against clubs where such banners are displayed?

Great work from the Ultras! Newcastle fans seem to be the only ones crying racism, which looking at the banner, is a ridiculous claim. Looks like it has support from all across the football community as well, hopefully other clubs do similar

That is absolutely fantastic. Well done to them for doing that, and for anybody who thinks it's wrong they have as much right to unfurl that banner as the Saudis had to buy the club.

It's hard not to be cynical. I think when people are being killed then I think fans and members of the public have the right to express freedom of speech. Players are employed to play football only. There is clearly something wrong if owners of a football club commit atrocities on people. This is quite different to George Floyd or abuse on Twitter. It should’ve happened when Qatar were awarded the World Cup, but buying a football club with deep rooted history deserves the spotlight. COYP
