When was Crystal Palace FC born ?

[Mr Nicely]

Can any of you help me ?
I would like to know the date on which Crystal Palace FC came into existence. The time of day too if possible.

Any ideas ?

[Men At Work]

Getting an early start on writing the obituary are we?

[Mr Nicely]

Actually it's to calculate the Horoscope for us.
OK I know it sounds a bit daft but I did one when Goldberg took over and it was ****ing nasty. One of the worst ones I'd ever seen with lots of bad stuff aroung the issue of home.

I've just done a tarot for the club and the cards came up with a poor man, a blind man, a lame man, a drowning man, a hanged man, a burning man and a decaying corpse.

Christ it's been a cr*p week and I have to go to Frankfurt, the pustulous boil on the backside of Germany, for 5 days. http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/frown.gif

Why not use the same date as that one?

Mr Nackerly,there's a good book called "To the Palace for the cup" thats out at the moment.It's all about the old pre Wembley cup final stadium in the grounds of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham.It features a comprehensive history of the early days of our club.Well worth a read.

Horoscopes/Star signs/Russell Grant my arse.

Mr Nicely you're in luck today as I decided to wear my anorak today. Anyway here goes.

CPFC was formed in 1905 by workers at the original CP, in the shadow of which the team played. The original club colours, claret and blue, were adopted after the team borrowed a kit from Aston Villa. Palace moved to SP in 1924.

Our first competitive game was in the United League,away (Wait for it)to New Brompton,later to become Gillingham on Friday 1st September 1905 and we won 3-0,a good omen perhaps in the current circumstances.

[Scraba]

Taking 1st September 1905 as a DOB for the club as suggested by Glazier, I idly fed this into a Biorhythm program and 13th/14th July is a treble critical, which is apparently as bad as it gets…

[Glazier]

Just out of interest our second competitive game was played 24 hours later at home to Southampton Reserves in the Southern League 2nd Division but despite leading 3-0 at half time the game was lost 3-4. Sound familiar!

As the Two Als advice thingee has gone Kev here is some advice....

Questions About Women, Answered

Let’s say, hypothetically, she’s giving me a blow job, but without enough fervor. Is it proper etiquette to push her head down?

Unfortunately, no. The distance between your penis and her gag reflex is shorter than you think, and only she knows for sure. The consequences of finding this out for yourself could be disastrous. Plus it just ruins the moment.

If you’re serious about wanting to get your partner to give you better fellatio, you can always try one of the following techniques that many guys swear by: Flip on a porno and give subtle hints, such as "Damn, she’s good. I wish I could get head like that." Or try developing an intricate system of grunts, much like Morse code, designed to guide her in the right direction.

[Kevin T]

There was an old joke that went around.

Q. How would you describe the worst blow-job you've ever had?

A. Amazing!

I like to know who came up with that joke and stick some of those pretend chattering false teeth around his bell-end! Well, I might get somebody else to actually attach it. Rory?

What I want to know is, do you reckon the missus will give me a blow job tonight?

ER NO KEVIN T.

[Mr Nicely]

Fascinating as all this talk is, don't you think it's a bit off the point. This was a genuine request for information

Maybe you should start a will I get a blow-job tonight thread

[little badge]

sorry this isn't about blow jobs, but...

(from the Rough Guide to English Football)

'Students of the history of the game will testify that, among the clubs represented at the first meeting of the Football Association at the Freemasons Tavern in Great Queen Street, London on 26 October 1863, was one going by the name of Crystal Palace. While most of the teams in attendance were from public schools, gentlemen's clubs or military regiments, Palace were a working man's team, founded by staff employed at the Crystal Palace itself... The team were formed in 1861 and played in the first ever FA Cup of 1871/72, drawing 0-0 with Hitchin in their opening fixture and going on to reach the semi finals.
Not long after that, however, the club disbanded, and there would be no team playing under the name Crystal Palace until the present version was founded some 30 years later.'

I also reckon that ugly girls give better blow jobs than pretty ones, and i'd be interested to hear any opinions on why this is the case. http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/supergrin.gif

[Matty]

Or a Daniella nose job (see other thread)

[Mr Nicely]

Thanks Chocky, that's very helpful.

Cheers Glazier. I'll use that date, with a 3.00pm kick-off I presume http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Kevin T]

While you're at it, I was born at 7.40pm on 2nd June 1976.

What I want to know is, do you reckon the missus will give me a blow job tonight?

[ruediger]

Kev, it's written in the stars that you'll get drunk after consuming loads of unicum.
So you wont remember anything.

Ask the missus the next day. I hope she's honest with you.

[swissroll]

your a lucky lad Kevin, never to have known a woman with a small gob and big teeth - ouch, painful memories (whats this got to do with the history of Palace?)

[SteveB]

Back on the subject, there seems to be no record of the first Crystal Palace after 1876, about 20 years before the cup finals moved to the Palace.

It seems unlikely that the original club were working class: all the clubs at the time were amateur, and had to pay their own travel costs - I can't believe that any working class club could have afforded this. Not only did Palace play in the first FA Cup, but they also provided a player (C Chenery) for the England team in the first ever international.

People might have gathered from other postings that I am one of the older fans, but I'm not old enough to remember the first Crystal Palace club. Also not too old to appreciate blow jobs..........

[Pistike]

Well Kev? Did Paula get her lips round your old chap then or what?

Actually I always thought that the original club folded due to pressure from the FA who didn't want a club whose ground staged the final to be represented in the competition!

Oh and Kev whilst we're on the subject has she shaved yet?

[little al]

Kevs bird has just informed me that
1) yes she will
2) yes she has!

Mr Nicely,
Have you done a horoscope for the day Jordan took over? If so what did it say?

Men at Work,
Is it true that Tarot only forecasts for up to six months in the future? Can we look forward to Digby starting to make a few saves in Feb 2001?

From 'The Crystal Palace Story', by Roy Peskett, published 1969 by A Roy Peskett Ltd. Publications:

The present club was formed by a handful of enthusiastic visionaries, led by the aptly named Edmund Goodman, in 1905. Previously there had been a Crystal Palace club, formed among the staff of the giant glass exhibition concern on the heights of Sydenham Hill, which had been fashioned for the pleaseure of the masses by the love of a British Queen for her Consort.

The first Crystal palace club was formed in 1861, and ten years later scored a niche in the history of Association football by becoming one of the first fifteen clubs to found the F.A. Challenge Cup.'

It goes on to describe the Hitchin game 0-0, (described earlier in this thread) beating Maidenhead 3-0 and then losing to Royal Engineers 3-0 in the semi final at Kennington Oval.

The story goes on...' but in 1904 the Football Association resisted the efforts of the Crystal Palace company to form a team to play in the Southern League. The authorities did not like the idea of the company which owned the Cup Final ground entering a team of its own.'

Its a fantastic book with great photos including Selhurst Park in 1924, 'The pitch had been levelled, but new ground was in a very raw state at the time'.
Nothing changes then!
