Personally I can't see any racial implications as regards the banner. I'm sure the banner criticises MBS and the Saudis for what they believe they have done not because of their race, nationality or religion. Some have said the depiction of the Saudi is racist. But isn’t it just like a drawing a westerner in T-shirt and jeans? Well if you drew the Saudi in anything other than what he’s depicted in, you wouldn’t know he was a Saudi!

This is interesting now though, because I can't imagine Palace wont be the last to make a demo like this. Will be interesting to see what other fans do and how the Saudis will respond. Good news though.

My guess is the police have to get involved as a complaint has been made. Nothing will come of it and you can all wring your knickers out you bunch of fannies! H
Exactly this, but the internet doesn't do waiting calmly for things to pan out.

Police are now investigating the banner at Palace on the grounds of racism 1 have the police not got anything better to do 2 when did it become racist to tell the truth The worlds gone mad If the Police do anything more than take a cursory look and then say move along nothing to see here then I would be very surprised and greatly concerned. I think it is more likely the PL take some action against Palace which would put them in an even worse light, the PL that is. Just as I said with regard to the police, now let's wait to hear from the PL.

It’s similar to the sort of comic you’d get in David Squires articles. A bit of satire. What a waste of police time and resource. Because they’re not white? That’s what racism is nowadays. Really? care to eat a large slice of humble pie?

Good news though. I think the banner should be shared with every fans group in the Premier League and then unfurled at every game against Newcastle. That will get the message in a peaceful and no-nonsense manner and damage both the Premier League and even moreso, Newcastle’s brand even further.

Since when has a banner ever damaged anything in football?

Dunno, you'll have to tell us another time where every single ground in the country used the same banner in unison and in protest against a human rights abusing country to know for sure won't we
