At the end of a tiny, deserted bar is a huge Scouse bloke - 6ft 5 and 350lbs. He's having a few beers when a short, well-dressed and
obviously gay man walks in and sits beside him. After three or four beers the queer fella finally plucks up the courage to say something to the big Liverpudlian. Leaning over towards the scouser he whispers, "Do you want a blow-job?" At this the massive Merseysider leaps up with fire in his eyes and smacks the man in the face, knocking him swiftly off the stool. He proceeds to beat him all the way out of the bar before leaving him bruised and battered in the car park and returning to his seat. Amazed, the barman quickly brings over another beer. "I've never seen you react like that," he says, "just what did he say to you?" "I'm not sure", the big Scouser replies, "something about a job"

this tranmere bloke must be on a downer from a load of smack.
There were perhaps 20/30 Palace on the pitch - hardly an invasion. There again when you have only 5,000 fans perhaps its a full scale riot. Also i seem to remember all the Tranmere players applauding the Palace end as we had given them a good reception on their lap of honour.
Still i hope all their firm got their homework in on time despite being at football the day before a school day.

A scouser went for a job and was asked "what do you want for painting that 80 foot chimney?" he said "an eighty foot fkin brush"

Pitch invasion ? PITCH INVASION ? Call that a pitch invasion ? You ignorant twit. A few excited fans run on to the pitch (after hundreds of Tranmere fans have surged on) to thank OUR players for their commitment this season, and for beating your shoddy team, and you get upset.
"It was our end of season" (oh yeah, of course, ours hasn't finished yet (!)) "and you lot had no right to invade our pitch" - neither did you, if the tannoy was to be believed, you scouse ****.
If it was such a special day for you, perhaps your team should have bloody WON. And some of your fans should have bothered turning up. And the fans that WERE there should've sung a song and not just banged a f***ing drum.
Now shut up, put your toys back in the pram and p*ss off.

Tranmere Kop - if you are still there, which I doubt - how can you talk so much rubbish??
How can you say South London is more racist than Merseyside?? Everywhere has an element, and it is VERY foolish to state that only CERTAIN places are racist. I've experienced racial abuse in my life, which i don't know if you ever had, and to say it is confined to one certain type of person, ie. a skinhead, one certain area, ie. South London is nearly as stupid as the racist to**ers themselves. It only takes a couple of wan@ers in a pub etc. to start trouble.
One of the many great reasons for supporting the Palace is the attitude of the majority of the fans towards racist scum. Though, I'm under no illusions, there is a bit of prejudice in everyone...unfortunatley.
Some of you posted an article about our disgraceful fans shouting racist abuse and acting in an unsocialble manner in the Clipper before the game.
I had grief and aggro from drunken Palace fans all afternoon.
It was our end of season and you lot had no right to invade the pitch. I even witnessed a few of you singing on the pitch amongst the Tranmere fans knowing full well you could have provoked a riot.
A friend of mine was punched outside the station just for shouting 'Tranmere' in response to your moronic scouser baiting songs.
South London is far more racist than Birkenhead, just look at the nail bomber in Brixton, just a few miles away from Selhurst.
We've had Man City, birmingham, portsmouth and wolves all visit this seaon-clubs with a well known hooligan element, but the only club whose supporters invaded the pitch where so called fans of Crystal Palace.
Did the social know you were there?

I'd forgotten Tranmere fans were there 'til they scored. Still, must be hard to jump up & down after glue-sniffing.
Is'nt it just typical of cockneys to start off the old scouse abuse when they are losing the argument, and were the so called 'racists'.
The Clipper is THE Tranmere home pub and away supporters only go in there if they want a bit of aggro, I noticed that quite a few of your 'supporters' went in there before and after the match. I know of at least 3 Palace pubs that are to be avoided for away fans, unless of course they are after trouble.
Tranmere Rovers FC are a small family orientated club (just look at our £3 child rate) and Im not surprised a few people got annoyed in the Clipper at you lot who thought, with your normal cockney arrogance, that you could go where you like, cause as much trouble as you like and generally thinking you could take the place over.
As much as you try to ignore it, Palace have had a large thug element for a number of years. Dont you think its a bit ironic that you moan about a few noisy Tranmere teenage supporters when Ive heard tales of Palace causing trouble up and down the country. Last year, trouble outside a well known Portsmouth pub is one example. Also, whilst surfing the net a few months ago, I visited a site by a hooligan called Paul Dodd. On this site were a number of Palace morons arranging trouble with rivals from Charlton, disgusting!

In our case Away supporters only go in there
if they want a drink and a good laugh on the final day of the season.
Generally it was a good day for the vast majority. Some arguments don't stick:
One Palace fan punching a bloke vs groups of people spitting at team coaches, hurling racist abuse and throwing beer at people.
For Tranmere's Home pub there was an awful lot of Palace (they dont serve alcohol to minors do they?).
There are many pubs in Sth Norwood where well behaved away fans are welcome to drink.
One or two won't let people in for sheer weight of numbers.
Twenty Palace fans and several hundred Tranmere when all were asked to stay off the pitch.
As I said elsewhere I enjoyed my trip at the weekend, many Liverpudlians were friendly and talkative. I was in the Clipper pre match
at least and everything seemed convivial and quite pleasant. I think we should just condemn the idiots and not try and blow this up into some hoolie thing.
Anyone in the away end at Tranmere would agree that 90 % of Tranmere fans in the Kop end were under the age of 15 and other than occasionaly mustering something like a song they spent most of the match watching us breath some life into there pathetic ground.
and they didn't have an inflatable jet ski.

"Pubs :
For travelling fans wishing to sample the local brew, there are a
number of pubs extremely close to the ground. The Mersey Clipper,
is the closest to the ground behind the Main Stand in Prenton Road
West - also does decent food and is popular with away supporters.
Open all day - with family room and big screen TVs The Prenton
Park, next door to the club shop, also overlooking the ground, in
Borough Road, popular with the visiting support. Two pool tables,
darts and big-screen TV. Families welcome / disabled facilities.
Open all day"
Racism is a problem everywhere, and London is not exempt from this at all. However Tranmere play in a city where one club there wouldn't sign black players until a few years back. And we saw the supporters of the other large team in that city throw bananas at one of their own players because he was black. Sure this isn't Tranmere, but it hardly gives them the right to start pointing the finger at cockneys(?).
As for Palace fans looking for agro, this is ridiculous. And name me a pub in SE25 where away fans would get physically attacked? I can't think of one.
What is that scouse plank on? If the mersey clipper is THE Tranmere pub, then perhaps he would care to explain how when I arrived there
I was greeted with the sight of around 150 Palace fans there & f**k all Tranmere?
Also I was one of the Palace fans on the pitch at the final whistle & I was singing too being the naughty boy I am, but in case it escaped your notice we were surrounded by a ring of stewards so it was hardly the major incident that you are implying is it? Also if you want to talk about pitch invasions how about man city or wolves on the same day then?????
And please,please tell us the names of these three pubs you're so scared to enter tooo!!!!

Hear hear Dillenger,
Tranny was one of the most enjoyable away matches I've been to for a long while. The Stewards I encountered were the friendliest I've met in ages. I was sitting/standing right at the front of the Kop and indulged in friendly and lively (!) banter with the Tranmere fans a few yards away throughout the match.
The Stewards actually encouraged it! - I've seen away fans getting chucked out of Selhurst Park for doing 10% of what was going on on Sunday.
At the end of the game I virtually walked onto the pitch (OK I ran then) but I was never in danger of being rugby tackled to the ground.
Top marks to the sensible stewarding and top marks to all the Tranmere fans who wished us well at the end of the game.
I'm a father of 2 kids under 5 and I'd happily take them to this fixture next season.
Anyone who says anything different can go away and "calm down".

if TK wanted to see aggro and potential trouble, he should have gone to Chester the day before. We did and, boy, was there some unhappy souls. Some Chester fans were picking out Peterborough fans and telling them they wouldn't get back to the train station.

A lot of you might know myself or my brother Dougie, through a number of books relating to the disease that plagues our game that is hooliganism. After reading this disturbing posting and hearing from Tranmere fans present at the game i would like to make the following points:
1. It seems that the 70s fashion of taking the oppositions 'home end' has been replaced by the so called taking 'of the home fans pub', which was evident as some of your mindless minority visited the Mersey Clipper public house.
2. From the responses to 'Tranmere Kops' relevant and serious message, I get the impression that CPFC supporters do not wish to take the problem seriously and rather than debating ways in which to combat the hooligans, a number of the replies resorted to childish insults and denial (ie. the lets turn a blind eye mentality).
3. Alongwith with, of course, Millwall, Crystal Palace have always had a serious problem with a large element intent on trouble. Tranmere Kop talked about the incidnet with Portsmouth fans outside the Shepherds Crook last year.
ITS YOUR DUTY AS TRUE SUPPORTERS OF CPFC TO WEED OUT THESE THUGS
This posting is not 'having a go' at Palace fans, just pointing out a few home truths. Please do not blame the poster 'Tranmere Kop' for my intervention, as I had several other Tranmere fans contact me directly. I have also have taken action after hearing information from sources such as local radio stations and media after the game.
ITS UP TO YOU PALACE FANS TO NOT IGNORE THE TROUBLEMAKERS AND TAKE SOME ACTION.
If anyone has any information regarding the trouble at Prenton Park, please do not hesitate on contacting myself or Dougie through the address in the back of any one of our books. For obvious reasons I do not wish to post the address on the internet.
Thankyou,

This is a wind-up or a very ironic reply. "Pot calling the Kettle black" You are a filth/scum yourself but have retired on the basis that you can make a mint on selling books on it.
Palace fans are one of the most friendly set of fans in the country.
By the way I have read most of your books "Capital Punishment" included. I take your views as I do with "In The Know" as that you are only interested in glorifying footy violence. This is the best laugh I've had since Wimbledon got relegated.

I like the several hundred very good spirited people who visited the Mersey Clipper do not thankyou for referring to us as the Mindless Minority. I would suspect that when Man C, Birmingham, Forest, Bolton etc etc visited Tranmere there were large numbers in the Mersey Clipper. If it was the last day of the season and the sun was shining they would have filled it like us.
The most hooliganised statement I have heard
on this thread is this notion of 'taking the
home pub'. What rubbish, its the year 2000
not 1980.
I am sure the hardcore elements of Millwall, Chelsea, Cardiff, Birmingham, Burnley and Stoke will be frightened to come out of their houses when the massed thousands of Palace fans wreck havoc in the neighbourhoods. BE SERIOUS.

15-05-2000, 06:55 PM
E Brimson,
I find your post hard to believe. I for one was in the Mersey Clipper before and after the game and can tell you there was absolutely no trouble whatsoever. Apparently a few Tranny fans were mouthing off, but it was a tiny minority and couldn't even be heard from the other end. All the Palace in the pub were in a party mood, chilled out and enjoying the sunshine. We weren't even hardly singing. If this is a home pub, and we took it, then I can assure you it wasn't intentional. It was quite simply the nearest pub to the ground.
The notion that Palace have got a hooligan problem is quite frankly ridiculous. I'm sure there must be a few - all clubs have them - but I never see it, and I've been a season ticket holder for many years, and have drunk in dozens of pubs before and after the game.
I am currently reading a football violence book, Tooled Up For The Match, and it's funny how much your opinions differ. Speaking of Palace, he jokes that you couldn't get a row down there if you tried.

As Kevin has pointed out I recommended the Mersey Clipper - I have copied the paragraph below from the tranmere rovers official web site... any tranmere supporters reading this - if you advertise a pub as suitable for away supporters - the likelihood is they will go and drink there.. I can't believe how out of hand this whole thread has got. Turned up at the clipper to see loads of palace and hardly any - if at all - tranmere fans - not much use for an hour and a half prior to kick off for home support then.
"For pubs, due to their close proximity to the ground, The Prenton Park (Borough Road/Prenton Road West) and The Mersey Clipper (behind Main Stand) both fill up quickly - moreso with away fans and are closely watched by the local police. "

Strange how E Brimson is so quick to condemn Palace fans, including those on this board, yet fails to condemn the Tranmere fans that were mentioned in the Mersey Clipper who were being racist in the first place.
Mr Brimson can f**k right off, saying we've got a mindless minority who were in the Clipper before the game. All they were doing was having a drink in a pub which was recomended by the Tranmere web-site & the away supporters guide, and I agree as well about how friendly the Tranmere fans were before & after the game!! I was in the Clipper & Prenton Park before the game & all their fans were spot on & we drunk in the Sportsman afterwards & again they were spot on, so this **** can sod off back to his books (which he has made a mint from) & stop trying to stir things up.
Also I agree with the comment about the book Armed For The Match which was written by the old leader of the Chelsea head-hunters who said Palace were no trouble at all, & I think his views would be more reliable than some **** from Watford who makes his money by re-telling stories of other people's tear-ups!!

More likely Mr T Kop than E Brimson (whoever he may be anyway. Some of you have heard of him).
If this really is Eddie Brimson who wrote this then he is saying something very differant from what is written in his books, where Palace are correctly described as a fairly tame set of fans, whilst Millwall have chapters dedicated to their antics. Palace like Millwall! This is ridiculous! Palace fans like a drink and at away games will often end up in one particular pub. This isn't a hostile thing, it's just a question of thirsty fans having a decent drink and sing song. Palace fans are more than happy to talk and be friendly with away fans (unless they drive caravans or live in Brighton, or in my case are brummies) It is not that we won't admit to a hooligan problem, we genuinly don't have one to be honest. The one occasion there was some trouble this season was at Fulham (although it seems chelsea supporters were largely responsible), and this was the source of much debate on this web site.
Tranmere Kop you are a 100% ******, and Brimson: how cab yiou be a hooligan writer when your a Watford supporter, Watford have never had a firm and never will have. Palace used to have a very tasty crew in the 80s and where only behind millwall, chelsea, estham and spurs in terms of size and quality.
Nowadays I know of a few boys who are still active but it will never be the same as the Good Old Days.
The Northwood and Whitehorse will come out of retirement when we play the seaweed again, everyone will yturn out for that one.

In all my years as a Palace fan i've only ever seen 'bother' on two occasions. Palace vs Brighton (weekday eve in mid 80's) and Palace away at Bournmouth ('86ish) in which case it was the stewards who caused most of the grief.
E Brimson, your a parasite that stirs up all this 'good ol' days' bullsh*t about an era when getting glassed/kicked unconsious was a distinct possibility when going to watch a game of football.
Nice.
Personally, like most Palace fans, i like to go for a few drinks before a game, have a laugh, go to the game, sing my heart out, then have a few more beers before staggering home.
Notice how having a fight doesn't come into that discription. If i was into that i'd go to Millwall.
Bottom line : Palace are not a hooligan side.
Second bottom line : Your books are shoddilly written nonsense that glamourise violence.

The only time I have ever seen any real violence at a Palace game - was a few seasons back (prob around '93) when we played Millwall at home - roadsigns being thrown at police horses is what remains in my mind.
As far as I can see we are welcomed at most grounds as friendly supporters - I'm completely bemused as to how this has all started from a few idiots at one match - it's got blown out of all proportion.

Monty, Maybe Steve Kember gave him a tie as well. http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/supergrin.gif
What actually happens is that any unregistered user in the Away Fans forum gets "copied" the number of postings and the "location" of the previous registered poster on the thread. If you look at this whole thread you'll see this happening all the time .

Nah Ian – Steve wouldn't do that! He's the faithful type http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/wink.gif http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/wink.gif
Thanks for sorting the mystery of the profile though – I can sleep easy now. I was getting a little paranoid that someone knew my password. Can't have anyone thinking I'm a hooligan now can we http://www.cpfc.org/ubb/supergrin.gif

I've just come back from me holibob's and I'm trying to catch up on all this. If my memory serves me the Clipper was filled with Palace before and after the game. In a very friendly attitude, that seemed to frustrate the small minority of tranmere youths standing outside. The ringleader of them was a tall, ginger haired drunkard 30+ who was striding in and out of the pub trying to goad any Palace fan he could (me included). He spent 5 minutes shouting mindless abuse at my back while his posse of scally's giggled around him. When that didn't work he threw coin's at me (22 pence in change, ta mate!)When that didn't get a result he stomped off out to the back of the pub muttering something about Cockney poof's. This was after making comments abotu my having Maidstoned eagle on the back of my shirt! I didn't realise you could hear the Bow Bells douwn there by the Medway.
The atmosphere was getting rather antagonistic so we decided to leave, especially after a glass was thrown in our general direction. Not once did I see a Palace fan react to all the baiting so to say we were the trouble makers is laughable to say the least.

This posting by Brimson got my goat. So I tracked one of them down. Eddie Brimson doesn't have access to the internet. it's a wind-up. Dougie (his brother) says he "don't like Palarse, anyway".... and the same goes for Clowntown.
Ignore this thread there is clowntown fan laughing somewhere about the stir he's managed to cause.

Ok mate, just look at the team we fielded! We have had a terrific season so lay off!! I think you are just jealous that a team who hasn't signed a player for nearly 2 years beat you. Ha ha what is your problem.
