So many players and pundits keep saying he was harsh to be given a red. IT WAS A SECOND YELLOW! Also by the letter of the law it was a booking. Murphy got it spot on

Maybe not the best game but surely the talking point of the day. Bizarre

I get that. I meant are they written in the laws of the game? There is something general about delaying the restart, which my understanding is what kicking the ball away could be interpreted to be. However, there is an explicit rule about delaying a quick free kick.

Just wanted to check something for clarity as I haven't seen it discussed. Is kicking the ball away an automatic yellow in the laws of the game? A lot of people saying that Pedro does this in the first half and escaped punishment. I know refs have been told to be strict but I am not sure if it...

Yeah definite lack of trains. Only coming from Hove but got to Brighton station at 1830 and got to my seat bang on KO. Left after the Webster goal and was lucky to get a train just before 10. Problem is there only seems to be 2 trains an hour and they are all only 4 carriage. In future...

Any ideas when this is and if you can actually buy tickets for it?

Hopefully should improve if Barco comes on.

Baleba has looked good in a back four. Strong in the air and calm on the ball. Surprising considering playing out of position.

This Sussex team looks very promising. Playing exciting cricket

Not sure it's a massive howler. The back pass was slightly short but wouldn't even say that was a howler. Bart got there but was just unlucky with the rebound

Very tepid performance. We really are struggling to create anything of note at the moment and really miss Gilmour. I can't see us getting many more points if I am honest. I thought Baleba was good again but overall very uninspiring.

Good luck to all runners today. Enjoy the event

Yes, losing the ball with only two players back. Brighton build up, inviting pressure then cut through with several passes. If there is no clear pass or pressure from the opposition they will go back to build with more players, as like you say losing the ball with everyone forward is risky...

Thought it was always gonna be a tough game. Only one winger and about 4 number 10s making up our midfield and front line. Brentford happy to sit deep and narrow so we are gonna struggle with not much pace or width. Still solid defensively and a good point. I think Welbeck made a big difference...

Putting no emphasis on defence, or even trying not to concede again at 2 nil down, away in the first leg of a knockout competition surely has to be questioned tactically. I support the process and the style of football we play but the tactics in this setting seem mad.

Oh missed that. I presumed (perhaps wrongly) that VAR has other angles to work from and used that to draw to line from JPvH. The TV picture they chose was just showing the Roma player was level with that line.

Regarding the VAR call for the third goal, why is it dodgy? I saw it was close but so far have only seen the one angle with the lines drawn. It's hard to tell from the only angle they have given on the TV but presumably they drew lines from a better angle?

Surely in the first leg of knockout European football you focus a bit on defense?? Terrible tactical plan and given us zero chance in the return leg

What a time to put in our worst performance. Feels like this season is unravelling very quickly.

I got my Tag battery changed for £15 at Jays Jewellers in Hove.
