Distin was wrong to have a go at Everton fans - or was he?

Distin was wrong to have a go at Everton fans despite Palace frustrations

Everton season-ticket holder Kathy Keig was at Crystal Palace as Sylvain Distin became involved in a row with his own fans, when he complained at being booed.


'I go to every home and away game and Palace is the worst ground to get to. It was an horrendous journey, kick-off was delayed because the traffic was terrible.


'So you could say there was frustration from the start. It was a disappointing game. We had 71 per cent possession and it felt like we were playing a passing game without an end product. There was no sense of urgency.

Bemused: Distin gestures towards to the travelling Everton supporters

Everton have now not conceded a Premier League goal for 330 minutes.

'We have had a change of manager and style. We were known as a pressing team. Roberto Martinez wants to have a patient, passing game and it’s very different.

'We are used to seeing players get into faces. It seems we have lost that aggression.

'I could never bring myself to boo an Everton player but I was frustrated too. The fans have a right to express their opinion. Distin has a great rapport with the supporters.


Open and honest: Distin likes to interact with football fans on Twitter

'I think both sides made the comments out of frustration.

'His game fell below the high standards he sets himself and the same could be said about his team-mates. It was a bad day all round.'
