In the second round of this Premier League season, Crystal Palace faced Nottingham Forest, and the supporters unveiled a provocative banner that could now lead to punishment from the FA.
Details: According to Sky Sports, the English Football Association has charged Crystal Palace over improper conduct following the actions of their fans. The controversy stems from a banner displayed by the Eagles’ supporters during the match against the Tricky Trees, which was directed at Nottingham owner Evangelos Marinakis.
The banner depicted the club owner holding a gun.
That match between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest ended in a 1–1 draw.
Reminder: Crystal Palace fans are still celebrating their club’s historic triumph after winning the FA Cup — the first major trophy in their long history. A young couple decided to mark the occasion by creating a unique Halloween costume inspired by that success.
