Are we genuinely blaming drums now? It was far more visible on the PSG comms and that didn't seem to impact our play, indeed it probably enhanced the atmosphere.
Having seen the real thing, European Ultras are bell ends. The Palace ones are even worse because they should know better.
As an aside, how can a whole bunch of pyrotechnics be allowed into the ground through security? And who decides that it is in order for an FA Cup Semi Final to be played against the background noise of organised and continuous drumming?

As I said (this is in response to Chris Smith above), we were in line with the 18 yard line, not behind the goal. I know people stand in the Holte End.
For me I'd have gone with pace and power to trap their wing backs. Seeing Morgan and McGinn fold to create a six first half was pathetic stuff. Marlen wide, Ramsey wide, Rogers close to Ollie to bludgeon through the middle, Cash and Maatsen given licence to overload and trap one of the wing backs, with an energetic press that we witnessed 7 days ago. Run the inferior ****** off the park. But no.
