Wait till you see what senor lahoz has in store for us!

I know exactly what that prick has in store for us :(

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Bissouma is good in the tackle and is fast but he isn’t good enough on the ball for us .

Didn't look like that last night. I thought he was composed, energetic, excellent technique.

He was also the only one who showed our team any type of respect.

I think he would have a couple more levels under Pep.

He did play 80 mins with an extra man Though!
No one from Brighton struggled last night
Probably ruined his audition

 

[ShedDweller]

Potter might have pissed on his chips a bit too, he might become a candidate for a big job somewhere in the future.

Firstly congrats on another superb season and a well deserved title - been by far the best team this season and I genuinely hope you beat Chelsea next week.

Thoughts on the game - I agree that the red was soft - I can see why Attwell gave it, but VAR should have downgraded it; however we have been on the wrong end of some shocking VAR decisions this season, so forgive me if I take that one and move quietly on..... I also agree that Jahanbaksh should have seen red - that happened right in front of me, and whilst there was no malice in the challenge it had to be a red. Again, see my previous comment re being on the wrong end of shocking VAR decisions.

Whilst little old Brighton may not be on your radar, this result had been coming - the 1-0 at the Etihad this season, on another day, could have been at least a draw as we were well worthy of a point that day. I thought that we were outstanding last night, and definitely were the hungrier team -

All the best for next week

You played ten men for eighty mins with bent officials and you kicked the shit out of us , dont be proud of that

We have talked a lot about liking potter and how you play but last night you went full shithouses

Did you see his celebratory dance for th fans at the end? Not for me thanks

 

[vicblueman]

Bissouma impressed me last night looks a good player .
Good engine , powerful & strong .
Under pg's guidance , training with better players day in day out, he would improve immensely.

Thought I had been redirected to Rawk reading some of this thread, some pretty embarrassing stuff written about Brighton.

Anyhow the ref and Var were crap or obviously bent depending on how shiny your hat is and if you wear underpants around your waist or on your head.

Meaningless game and hopefully everyone is fit for the final.

Does Garcia have any positive attributes at all?

I was not very impressed with the way your players thought it OK to go in so hard on our players, this game had no real meaning for either team so why the fck your players were repeatedly fouling our players - and not just trips or pulling people back etc, but high tackles from the back and the side - was a really bad show to be honest. Playing against 10 men with the very poor level of officiating (the worst I've seen this season, and like you we have had some shockers) isn't really a reflection of how good your team played. Glad you are safe because you do try and play a decent style of football that is entertaining, but I think you will get a hard time next season when you come to the Etihad after what your players did last night.

Brighton are a good side, you should be optimistic for next season

 

[SidJames]

Still in shock with the reffereing,and VAR officiating from last night.

That was not down to incompetence.

That was in your face overt blatant corruption.

That was a Horse Race there would have bee a stewards equiry,and call to the Police.

No idea how these corrupt officials keep getting away with it.

Yes he's a twat

 

[BLUEMATT23]

That 1st challenge on gundogan was disgusting by jahanbakhsh & warranted a straight red .
The ref was useless throughout the game & isn't up to refereeing professional games ,more like sunday league football .
Moss on var & walton in the studio were also incompetent with their take on some of the challenges ,esp having tv cameras to restudy the incidents. Walton deserves a good smacking the smarmy bastard , beyond belief what comes out of his mouth at times !
Also these players of brighton White,Webster,Burn, lallana also went out with the intentions to kick a city player with every opportunity they got , no protection by the ref , we were lucky to only get one injury .
Shame on the officials & some of the Brighton players in a dead rubber game. I can accept city losing , but not some of the antics that went on lastnight .

Lalllana as previous for shit challenges against us. The man's a thug.

 

[blueju]

I agree he's had a fine season but Rodri's fuck up was the reason they won. At two up we just needed another 10 minutes of control and they'd have given up and the crowd would have been a non-factor. THat gift got them believing and the crowd right behind them. Rodri gives it straight to Trossard and then stands in shock making no attempt to get back and atone for his error. Dreadful error.

He’s had a few of them that have nearly cost us recently .

 

[SidJames]

Yes he's a twat

When he Ballooned that Ball over from just a few yards out,and was laughing.

Oxygen thief.

We have Kids busting a Gut to wear our Shirt,and this snidey,whiney little twat is depriving them.

Hopefully seen the last of him.

Nice of you to offer congratulations and good wishes, but if you seriously think there was no malice in that assault by Jakanbaksh then you are as deluded as the Tories we have on here in the politics forum. That challenge left a really sour taste in my mouth because it was cynical. The fucking clown could have quite conceivably ended Gundogan's career it was that bad, what made it worse was the ineptness of the Ref who only gave a yellow when it was the straightest of straight red cards you will see this season. Just because you have had some shocking VAR decisions does not excuse a disgusting tackle like that.

I really do not mind Brighton or Potter as you try to play football as it should be played, I do not mind losing to a team who deserved to win on the night and played so well, but i do mind when people come on here offering platitudes and excuses for outright thuggery. The commentators on SportTV Portugal were utterly aghast at it being only a yellow and if the PL allow thuggery like that to go unpunished then there will many footballers who simply will not come to play in the PL because they will fear for their careers.

I think everyone is going to have to get used to the fact that football fans are angsty and tribal and know they can influence a game, and it's been a weird year where we have all got used to watching games alone in our small bubbles and that fans of opposition teams might have their own equally warped perspectives. The ref was shite, but as you say every team in the division suffers from the dog shit standard of refereeing in this country, and the less said about VAR the better.

I think when the dust settles more City fans will remember what the club and Brighton fans did for City on the last day of the season a few years ago rather than a niggly dead rubber a few weeks before one of the biggest games in our history.

I went to uni at Sussex, always had a lot of time for Brighton, glad you're in the division again next year.

I lived and worked in Sussex 1997 to 2000 (still went to every home game with my season ticket). All my sons played Sunday football. Brighton FC are heavily involved in youth football - always a few of their players at tournaments presenting medals - proper community club. If you play youth football in Sussex and you have pro-potential, you'll have every opportunity for a trial.

My sons played Sunday football in Manchester and Salford before and after we lived in Sussex. In Sussex there were far more Summer tournaments than in Manchester and Salford. The kids loved it.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Moss was stuffing a pork pie into his grid at the back of the caravan so didn't see it. What's the phrase I'm looking for.... not fit for purpose....useless fat bastard, the list is endless.

Moss doesn't know the rules. This is the guy who, pre-VAR, was caught on a video recording (Spurs V Liverpool) asking the lino 'have the telly guys said anything ?' (or words to that effect) re a possible pen. He guessed and gave the pen for Spurs. That's all you need to know - tells you everything.

 

[Doctor Jimmy and Mr Jim]

Well, as I usually do, I slept on that before commenting on here. And, not as I usually do, I still feel the same way.

That was a shitshow. Complete with the most incompetent ref/VAR combo I've seen in a long time. The officiating in this league is at rock-bottom.....and I've never really subscribed to the 'bent' viewpoint, it's more just 'fucking useless/clueless' for me......but after that showing you seriously start to wonder. I'm dreading to think what surprises Senor Lahoz has up his sleeve for us.

Hope Gundogan is OK. Foden was excellent. Rodri worries me at the minute. Garcia was Garcia.

Game consigned to the dustbin....move on.

 

[Irish Alana]

After reading all the comments. I have to say A good few of you came across as self entitled and extremely patronising. You can’t win them all, that’s football. Congratulations on being champions and good luck in your champions league final against Chelsea.
