As someone through his work passes this venue on many a late Saturday night, along with the taxis, people drunk in the road, you will so often see Police outside this venue because one would assume problems inside or out. Its a nightmare to pass this venue because of the "Situations", so you have to do a detour via the Morrison junction. It appears people just want to slag off footballers on their nights off and go over the top, many a reported story, when a footballer was pushed too far, but we dont know yet about this one. I didnt pass here on saturday as I had the day off and was in Leicester (what class palace was!)
If he still in custody,hes down in Salfords?

Many many years ago I was on a night out with Steve Galliers and friends(he came from Wimbledon to Palace " target="_blank">[Link] and people just picked on him who werent palace fans, so I learned back there, how impossible it was for them to have time out. When someone walked up to him and spilt drink over his suit, rather than react, he did the best thing, He said lets leave and go for a meal.....

I know its not the same, but last season when Pape was dropped from the Middlesbrough match through injury but before we knew it, he was in a terrible accident with 24 hours. Now Punch was not on the bench, he goes out and get into trouble....

ALLEGED video of the event and that it was with a Brighton fan is now doing rounds

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

Maybe we should paint a mural of punch on the side of some seedy little corner shop somewhere??
Then again maybe we should leave that sort of sad s***e to our scummy rivals!! ahhhahahah

If what has been reported turns out to be true I can see a hefty fine and an end to his Palace career either now,in January or at the end of the season if he is lucky to last that long.

No doubt he is Palace through and through and I'm sure he is in deep regret, but being club captain and having been a professional for so long, he should have known better than to get involved.

Things were not going great for Punch as it was, but no one really wanted it to end this way for him I'm sure.

Some people are like Slinkies … not really good for anything, but you can’t help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

This. Also Dangermouse. We don't know what happened and the club is not commenting. This is a matter for the courts, not idle gossip/rumour mongering. Or, as John Mortimer wrote in the Rumpole series, "The Golden Thread of British justice is a person is innocent until proven guilty in a Court of Law by a Jury of one's Peers."

Sadly, the idealistic standards of dear old Rumpole (and indeed Gilbert & Sullivan) are cast to windward in this day and age: Trial by Jury has now been very successfully replaced by Trial by Social Media whose instant verdict is taken as cast iron, no matter what the jury later decides according to the actual facts of the matter....
