Brighton (A) | Post-Match Thread

We win with 11 players. Simple as that. Hope you're okay Gundo xo

Well done Brighton, but without stating the obvious (sending off, Gundogan injury), I thought Rodri was very lazy, few poor refereeing decisions. Had it been more to play for, then the team would of put a bit more effort in. And why is Garcia still playing?, he’s decided to leave, if we wasn’t gonna take Walker, give an academy player a spot on the bench.

Glad he did play. Saved us having to risk a regular

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Never a red card, watched it several times on slo mo he was always going down, he never had the ball. Brighton can kick us all they want, it's up to the officials to ref the game fairly. Clearly we appear to have been fucked over by the officials tonight.

Proof that fans influence the referees.

Is a strong point. First the ref has operated here in front of a partisan crowd, and he failed badly under the pressure.

 

[brummie blue]

Cancelo wasn’t even looking at the player, so how come that is a red? Pathetic refereeing

Rule states the attacker has to be in control of the ball, or likely to gain control of the ball, and neither was going to happen.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

The climbing from their keeper on stones you reffing disgrace.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

That was a pantomine - end off.

Ref, VAR centre stage

Disgrace and rightfully recognised even on talkshite

What did they say on talkshite?

 

[Aba452]

Jaw dropping game management from the officials. Joao arm wrestled to the ground straight red. Knee high reckless tackle on Gundo a yellow?

Pen for Gabby! Quickest ever VAR checks by sweaty Moss. Atwell has less backbone than a bucket of ameobae. Correcting clear and obvious errors? Bo condoning and supporting incompetent decisions? Or something else? To happen this often to ain't coincidence.

Not our finest hour but I thought Gundo, Phil and Bernie put a shift in. Because of the blatant corruption on display Ferran got pulled when he could have played himself into the CL final. Worrying the way we got stretched all over the place. Think Eddie's distribution is great but he does need to work on his shot stopping.

The gulls fans were distinctly small time too. Wonder if Pep will call them out? Hope we remember this thuggery for next season and twat them big style!

At least we'll never have to see Garcia again

Might start v Everton if Walker's not fit.

All in all good practice to stress our defense, let's be honest it would have been a much easier game for us without the red card.

That's how I see it too, and to be honest with the CL final due I don't want to see them breaking their necks for a relatively meaningless game. We're champions, we've got the consec. away wins record which I can't see anyone else beating for a long time, what's the point? Apart from keeping them up to spped I'd have played the U18s.
