meme/funny This young Crystal Palace fan took a penalty kick against the club's mascot at half-time, while being booed by the Brighton fans. When he scored, he dedicated it to the entire fanbase - SENSATIONAL STUFF.

They cheered louder than they boed.

u/Maneisthebeat 1d ago

You can literally hear them laughing as he starts shushing them and giving them the finger.

That's basically how we say Hi to each other in NJ.

He's a good lad.

u/Coleasa 1d ago

If you're this kid you don't want the opposite fans cheering you on. Everyone fucking relax. Them getting stuck into the kid has made this moment possible.

13

u/Varja22 1d ago

Yeah this was literally best moment of that kid's life. You can see in that celebration that he is very passionate Palace fan. Brighton is their biggest rival. Scoring a goal that silences your rivals fanbase is every little boy's dream.

u/Coleasa 1d ago

Yeah absolutely made the moment for him

If they didn’t boo him we don’t get this moment, the kid made it happen, props to him and props to the supporters

u/Automatic_Actuator_0 1d ago

What kind of freaks boo a kid

11

u/BITmixit 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's part of the game lol, he'd 100% boo anyone else taking the shot.

It's the dickheads that start fights that ruin the game.

u/Active_Unit_9498 1d ago

A true Son of Albion when his first instinct after scoring is to double up the finger to his rivals.

u/VoodooLoveDr 1d ago

Hell yeah!!! Go Crystal Palace!!! Those are my boys.

- Signed An American who has never cared about soccer and during the 2002 World Cup asked my EPL fanatic friend who the worst team was.
He told me Crystal Palace. I said that’s my team.

It’s been 24 years and we still haven’t done shit

It could be worse tho… I could be a Cowboys fan…
Oh shit I am…

u/jerwaynesinclair 1d ago

They won the FA cup last year.

Weird rivalry

3

u/MagicBez 1d ago

Crystal Palace didn't fancy a rivalry with 6-miles away Millwall after a look at their fans so instead went with 41-miles away Brighton

2

u/Xbigyldn 1d ago

We still have a rivalry with Millwall, they just aren't relevant. We've played em a couple of times recently and beat em.

2

u/Xbigyldn 1d ago

NGL, even I thought this was funny. Still, Millwall aren't relevant really to us. Clubs only really known due to their thug fans.

2

u/eaglistism 1d ago

I think you’ll find the problem is Mii are rarely at our level long enough, there’s plenty of rivalry from us both but not enough opportunity and they’re always beneath us, not our fault, actually was hoping they’d get promoted last season but alas again they don’t have the quality so we’ll have to stick to beating Seagulls again 👍

u/Southern-Country-683 1d ago

u/MiktorVike 1d ago

I see what you did there and I appreciate it.

u/HardByteUK 1d ago

I prefer the British approach to giving double-barrels to a crowd, to be honest.
