There is little integrity in football nowadays be it the players, Manager or owners or the people that run the game.
I am a principled Man but where football is concerned it is a world of its own and there is no point in worrying about Sam.
Despite his England incident he is probably as clean as the majority are.

I agree there is little integrity in football, where there is money, there is greed.
The way some pious fools on here have been moralising, you would have thought we have employed a peadophile or murderer.
Chelsea have paid off a bloke, who was sexually assaulted whilst in their care as a kid, but the FA have exonerated them, therefore sweeping it under the carpet.
There are no morals in sport, there are loads of examples.
If Sam was good enough for England, then he is good enough for us.

So , do you still support Crystal Palace FC ?

I ask because if I felt that strongly about it , I could not support Palace anymore as my principles would not allow me to.
I would have to find another club.

Selective integrity, have read it all now.
Some people are happy to walk around with their head up their arse if it means not hearing things they dont want to hear. On the scale of shady i would give Pardew 1/10
