Overview

• The banner appeared in the Lower Holmesdale during Sunday’s 1-1 draw and depicted Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis holding a gun to captain Morgan Gibbs-White’s head.
• The FA is examining the display under rules that prohibit provocative, derisory or inflammatory messages and is considering disciplinary action.
• Nottingham Forest sources complained that Crystal Palace did not prevent the display and described the imagery as xenophobic.
• The flashpoint follows UEFA’s move to drop Palace from the Europa League over multi‑club ownership, a decision that stood after a CAS appeal and saw Forest elevated to the competition.
• Palace fan demonstrations led by the Holmesdale Fanatics included a large display and chants targeting UEFA and Marinakis throughout the match.
