    [Albion] 60 years ago today - 22 August 1964

    I was there too. Stood behind south goal. We were unbeaten at home that season as well.

    [Albion] Crawley v Brighton U21 EFL Trophy

    I've made similar comments watching him for U21s. Always seems to kick long to no one in particular. His attempts at shorter passes out seem to go astray as well.

    [Misc] The Official NSC Bird Spotting Thread.

    Driving down the A24 today near Dial Post a skein of geese in a lovely V formation flew over. Never seen this in Sussex before. (Probably always in the wrong place). I assume they were heading for one of the lakes at Knepp.

    [Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

    That brings back memories. First cinema I took my girlfriend to (long since my wife) back in 1962. The film on was 'The Young Ones' with Cliff Richard (although I don't remember how much we saw in the back row!

    [Misc] The Official NSC Bird Spotting Thread.

    On a smaller scale, some long tailed tits have moved into my area (Southwick) and have seen them in my garden for the first time after over 40 years in residence. Had seen them in the past at my daughter's house in Shoreham though.

    [Albion] The greatest Brighton-Japanese interaction of all time?

    I had my first ever sushi in Brighton. Does that count? (Not exactly earth shattering news though).

    [Finance] ******** The Scam Thread *********

    Received a call yesterday purporting to be from Virgin to tell me my broadband had a fault. (A fairly common scam). Played along for a while as I had time on my hands, but when phone went dead briefly, I hung up. They quickly rang back to find out why I had terminated the call. Thing was the...

    [Misc] Happy Sussex Day- 16th June

    There ain't no beer like Sussex beer, From Washington to Friston, And there ain't no gals like Sussex gals, You'd know it if you'd kissed un. (Attributed to a Brighton Intermediate School teacher in the 1930s, as told to me by my father, who was a pupil there)

    [Albion] Roberto De Zerbi To Leave Albion After Tomorrow's Game

    And so to all the succession speculation threads. Lets hope the new man can encourage the players to attack more speedily. Bye Roberto, been nice knowing you.

    [Albion] This is what we want against Eurofuddled Villa on Sunday

    Me too, I was in that crowd behind the goal, may even be in the TV pictures, but too blurred to pick out.

    [Humour] Joke de Jour

    The match would have been awarded to the animals because the insects played an ineligible player. A true insect only has six legs.

    [Food] What is the best half of a hot cross bun?

    I like both halves equally (traditional type). Unfortunately they don't like me, and usually reward me with indigestion. Perhaps its my age.

    [Albion] Two little birds

    Looking up from WSL I thought they looked like wagtails, although difficult to tell in silhouette from a distance. The wagging tail was a clue though.

    [Albion] Characters from The Goldstone North Stand - early eighties

    Anyone remember the fella we called the 'Mad Irishman'? Stood to right of goal near the front. Got very angry at our performances and would rant and wave his fists at the players. Had red hair and a red face which got redder the more angry he got. Always wore a brown check jacket (or suit).

    [Albion] Neal Maupay

    He was certainly in full WUM mode tonight

    [Albion] Will Saturday Be Our Day Of Absolution?

    I don’t know what to make of this one. We could stuff them, a la SheffU, say 4-1, or carry on as against Luton and lose 0-3, or do our usual and draw 0-0 or 1-1. Who knows? We are as unpredictable as ever. (Could say I’m hedging my bets!)

    [Football] FA Cup non league v league teams you have attended where the N/L team won.

    Unfortunately was at the Walton & Horsham debacle in 1973. 0-4. Was doing a special task at work in a upstairs room, so sneaked out back door to go and watch the midweek afternoon match. As an aside the following Saturday I was there to see the 8-2 reverse v Bristol Rovers to complete a...

    [Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

    I think all these images are before my time as when I was a lad the terminus was on the other side of the road with the buses going clockwise round the Green. My cousin lived around the corner from here and we often emptied the used ticket box to to give us tickets to play with.

    [Albion] Albion U21s vs Liverpool U21 today

    4-2 Mullins after good cross from Flower. Liverpool obviously not as strong as I thought Ft
