Brighton & Hove Albion (A) | Post Match Thread

[BringBackSwales]

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.

Don’t forget my comments were about how good the experience was as an away fan. There were 2 things I saw that would have pissed off some Brighton fans about us (1) on the far left of where our fans were (as you looked on to the pitch) about 6 to 10 rows from the front there were 2 utter knobhead City fans who spent the whole of the first half goading and abusing Brighton fans in what was a family type area, made absolute cunts of themselves; that will have pissed some Brighton fans off, the 2 pillocks pissed me off too; (2) queuing for the train there was a knob with his little son shouting a lot of abuse at Brighton fans, he also was embarrassing. Other than that I saw nothing untoward. And I saw exemplary behaviour from Brighton fans, and indeed City fans apart from 3 knobheads

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*)

If EB wants to flirt with JBS then EB should. She is a proper Blue and definitely John Boys biggest fan

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?

I remember it too.

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.

Dan Ashworth, my old team mate when we played in Sarasota in the old A league, used to be my room mate. Good lad he was and went on to be FA tech director after West brom. My other old team mate Darren Eales now CEO of NUFC poached me. We were all mates funnily enough playing for Newmarket Town back in the day ..small world eh!

Poached HIM nor me sadly lol

Too many risk tonight for me. Yes play some key players but not for 90 mins.

If Phillips still can’t get 90 mins what’s the point!

Phillips...we don't often make mistakes in the market but this one seemed 'off' way before we signed him. Always looked a ''second touch is a tackle'' type player at Leeds. Rarely looked comfortable or controlled which in a City midfield is pre-requisite. Seems to lacks a bit of physical flexibility to me..seems to turn like Rodri but obviously Rodri makes up for that mllion times over of course.

I’m guessing he will be putting together similar at Newcastle
They have definitely learned from our blue print
Made me laugh how easy it was for Newcastle
Yet Utd and Liverpool haven’t got a clue

Brighton stated they were sad to say goodbye but they were happy the network was completed.
It’s paying dividends for them.


On a side note…. The midges at Brighton were brutal. They had more bite than Suarez.
Definitely kept fans off the pitch

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!

I don’t mind a bit of flirting too, I joined the FOC club myself last year (I liked to use the term codger as I don’t like the c word especially for a woman). I’m broad minded enough too to say each to their own and with that, what goes on behind closed doors between adults is no one else’s business.
As for our City boys, I think Jack is a good looking boy and Rodri too:)
Let’s carry on flirting:)

Probably tactically cultvated...that Bloom thinks of everything!

It was during their henry, vierra, petit etc era , think we were 4-0 down after 20 mins and we (certainly us in the main stand) gave them a standing ovation at HT.
