Dirty Derby

[hola gus]

Thank f*** we were so in control tonight cos this ref would offer us nothing! They could easily of had 2 blokes booked within the 1st 15 minutes. He then goes and books Navarro (I think) for what is his 1st foul and appears to win the ball anyway. Tosser that ref!!!

Are you DRUNK?

They gave away EIGHTEEN fouls, you maniac.

Brighton and Hove Albion | Match | Report | 20 March 2012, Brighton 2 - 0 Derby

The most fouls against us in a game since Coventry kicked Noone out of the game at the Ricoh. Dirty or outclassed it makes no difference more yellows should have been shown, especially in the first half.

Funnily enough I did find myself saying "dirty bastard" when Barnes was hacked down from behind at one point. They certainly picked up at least 3 bookings, it may well have been 4 ? I agree with what others have said about us outclassing them and that caused them to resort to fouling.

Diritest team I've seen us play this season so far was Portsmouth down at their place.

Agree on Portsmouth, and about that challenge which was poor and deeply cynical. There was another in a similar posiiton in the second half which was genuinely bad, could, maybe should hav been a straight red.

Apart from that it was mostly just a lot of trips and things, mainly on Kazenga who was just unstoppable in any fair way tonight.

didn't think they were 'thugs', just totally cack and could only foul to stop Albion from tearing them apart, particularly down the wings. Good to see that Albion didn't rise to it and carried on playing the proper way.

I'd agree with this....tonight we were just too good for them...simples

Good grief.

Really why is it a strange comment, enlighten me

considering the numbers of weeds who have been sent off this year its a strange comment

 

[magoo]

So called big teams are coming here and the only way they can compete with us is to put 11 men behind the ball, hoof it and kick the shit out of our players. I love it!

What a bunch of mindless thugs they are - no skill just kicking lumps all night.

Shame their captain did not cop a 2nd yellow for sarcastically clapping the referee.

Even if most don't agree with you, I do I was shocked how there weren't more bookings, and how there weren't any in the first 5-10 minutes!
