Brighton & Hove Albion (A) | Post Match Thread

Sounds a bit entitled that, talking about taking another club’s staff.

I can’t find the original post @simon23
Newcastle have already taken the bloke responsible for setting up their European wide scouting network

Brighton said goodbye to him when we beat them 4-1…. Last season or season before.

Difference between both teams is irrelevant considering the resources, what matters is committement to playing beautiful football which Brighton have shown throughout and its something which will help English game in the long run.

Understandable yes, but irrelevant? I can't agree to that extent...

I see Pep was pleased considering the fact that the players “drank all the alcohol in Manchester.” He said it was right to celebrate fully. There goes a guy who knows how to manage.

 

[big gaz]

I agree 100% and mentioned this yesterday.
The celebrations should have been muted on Sunday and left to the end of the season.
Naivety could kill us.

Won the league on Sunday FFS after the Brentford game its the whip and raw steak for 5 days that should make you happy ;-)

Hooper was terrible with the whistle. I will agree the pull by Haaland can be seen as gaining an advantage but a similar pull on Bernado in the box not given. How strong does the pull have to be for it to count.
Also when we were attacking, one of the Brighton players goes down in a challenge with Alvarez, Hooper blows for a drop ball after we had gone 2-3 passes and gives it us in a defensive set up, no advantage at all to us at all. Brighton built up a couple of attacks in that moment.
Incompetent at best.

How strong does the pull have to be - should be in off topic ;-)

It was like a night out of the beach for us versus the Lidl Barcelona, any other day we would have gone for it but injuries are our top priority right now and we came out unscathed.... luckily.

We played okay considering that, as well as not being at fully full strength and that the team apparently drunk all the alcohol in Manchester 48 hours prior to kick off!.

Thank you @normskih for that reassurance about John Boy.

I am also so pleased that our fans showed how sporting they can be. For me I well remember the season I went to the Brighton & Hove match, last game of the season when we were not 100% sure we’d win the league but we did.
Their fans were superb that day, many stayed behind to see the presentation etc and as I walked back to the train many congratulating us and quite a few offering a drink as well.
So I have a soft spot for them.
I’m glad that they got through to the Europa games as well.
Thank you again Normskih.

Whats going on Eccles, who is this bounder trying to smoooooz into our flirtatious games ;-)

We should have been 3 up before half time if Erling had taken his chances. That with a much changed team as well. That would have stopped the media wankfest.

Brilliant. No answer to that.

I'm getting hammered by my mates. I'm in the white shirt.

 

[cookster]

I don't wum. What are you talking about, my opinion is that it was a foul and the the pull on Bernie could have been a foul but he made a lot of it. I don't know where you got that was a wind up from.

With the 2 wrongs don't make a right BS.
How about get both decisions right.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Brighton had twenty shots ,but all our players were on the shots for the last three days :)

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Not going to be popular this but, the amount of times Alvarez loses the ball in between the half way line and penalty box. Pep won't like that one jot.
Good from Rico Lewis again and some good saves from Ortega.
Entertaining match, good to get a point from it. I'd like to finish minimum 7 points ahead of the Arse.

I don’t know why. Appreciating a good goal is sportsmanship. You’ll go a long way to find supporters who‘ll acknowledge an opposing goal these days. Bloody good on you, I say.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Good post, good poster. It cuts both ways, just on my way back now and I have to say the Amex was the friendliest most polite away ground I have visited - the pleasantness of the stewards and your fans made it feel more like a trip to the theatre than a football match. Nice touch in the toilets (no not like that), the little placards saying “than you Man City fans for travelling 520 miles round trip to the Amex today”. The best 2 footballing sides in the division

just an illuminating thing. You said this, firmly, more than once. You were there, and it must be true.
I like to look in on other clubs' main forums. On North Stand Chat there's an odd thread laying into us — deluded fans, entitled, arrogant, bla-bla-bla. Quite aggressive really. It doesn't have a mass of posts, but it's quite jarring.
Now what this makes me think is that forums don't really reflect the overall matchgoing fan base. That they actually attract people who want to vent an extreme opinion that is designed to attract maximum attention, one way or the other. That, by the way, would be true for all forums — this one not excepted.
Being a broadly moderate poster by temperament, I've always strongly resisted this claim, which has been put forward several times on Bluemoon, but I'm now coming to think there's truth to it.

I wasn't there but wasn't there a match in the late 90s when the Arse absolutely smashed us at Maine Rd, and people were applauding them at the end? Even during the match?

In this broadminded day and age, you could still be playing a flirtatious game!
What strikes me more is that EB, on her own say-so (so I'm not being ungallant), is now well into her eighties. As someone who's just about to hit seventy, it's good to know that flirtatiousness can carry on far into life, whether between man and woman, man and man, woman and woman.
Let a hundred flowers bloom, I say…

Anyway, @Eccles Blue has eyes only for John boy. I'm quite charmed by Jack's Alice band, myself. Oh, and the calves, the calves!

As I always say: I’m old not dead. Flirting is good for everyone as long as we don’t hurt others and of course I would never upset JB. (even though he doesn’t know I exist *rofl*)
