Can we just keep this to football and not stupid “ he said, she said” rubbish….no team in the football world can can control their players before, during and after they play for the teams, and it’s not the clubs fault if players do stupid things.
Not sure installing hate into children is a good thing, if I am honest……I let mine make their own minds up, then tell them to hate Chelsea, Leeds and Brighton, in that order 😁
Sorry I have literally just seen the goal, I was at Hove watching Sussex win, then pub and bed just saw the run , cross and goal….i will have a watch later today
( football is a poor second to me when 1, England win a test match and 2, when Sussex win at Hove)
The rivalry is not a natural one that comes from how close the teams are,both teams had rivals before this one and a lot of palace fans still view Charlton as our rivals.
I always think it was more of an Alison v Mullery rivalry that during the 70s was just a reason for a scrap and caries on...
Oh Tim, it 3 games played, I might agree with your spending power but not the other two points, not until the end of the season as we all saw what happened last season.
Well just the one wicket before close…marvellous Faye at Hove today and with Yorkshire v Middlesex looking like a draw it’s all in Sussex hands this season.
I obviously have no dog in this fight, but only watched it on TV so I don’t know what happened before and after the challenge, but Williams plays two divisions lower and the pace of premier league football and Brighton in particular is so much faster, could it be he was just a fraction late...
Looking forward to a day a Hove today, making my sandwiches and filling my thermos up with tea. Making sure I have got various sharpened pencils of different colours to fill in my scorecard correctly.
Bat until 20 minutes to lunch with 500 up then put Derbyshire into bat….thats what I would do...
As I said, these kids can be super at 16 and then just not progress, that’s why we have professional coaches at different ages to see who is going to make it and who isn’t.
Apparently not, but then I am just a fan and can only guess the club’s internal finances. ( I have more important things in life like do I drive to Hove on Thursday for the 1st day or Friday for the 2nd day ?)
I think every fan of every club hopes that players coming from the youth or academy will be great players, I mean how many wonder kids have teams had when they are 15 only to disappear by the time they are 20.
I also believe his dad was a palace fan who unfortunately died just as he was signed for palace as a kid..it was in the sky documentary and produced a tear or two.
So yes we would like him to succeed.
( I hope I have the correct keeper there )
