Amazingly, doesn't sound bitter at all!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Wow. That is an excellent report. "Ball-hogging hosts".

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

A good honest read. Still cant quite believe what happened. And still cant understand the hundreds of fans who left at 3-2!

 

[clarkey]

Its a great report. Really honest, knowledgable and fantastically well written.

 

[The Large One]

'Quite a good review'?

That's probably one of the best reports I've read on a Brighton match. Home, neutral or away.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Probably one of the best so far!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Agreed an extremely well written report. No name on the report but I can see that type of writing getting the chap/lady a good job in one of nationals

"At the moment ball reached net, a firework went off above the unloved athletics arena that Brighton will vacate next season. Their spanking new stadium at Falmer will host some of the Championship’s most watchable fare, provided Poyet’s soaring reputation doesn’t take him to a higher calling before then.

At times on Saturday you wished that football could clone Brighton’s leader and send a small army of Poyets to all those lower-league clubs who think that muscular slogging is the only way to prosper. It speaks highly of Abbott’s Carlisle, on this bittersweet afternoon, that they did not look like a team in such desperate need of a South American makeover."

Great journalism.

I liked the bit "There were times in the first half when it seemed like United’s players must have felt like staying out there for the interval, in order to be reacquainted with the round thing."

 

[Icy Gull]

Minute 92 then saw Bournemouth loanee Arter dispatch a peach of a right-footed shot into the top corner on his Blues debut

He'll have been doubly gutted to watch Bridcutt's winner then

 

[Mackenzie]

Very good piece of writing, it looked like the journalist actually made an effort to write that.

 

[severnside gull]

So well written. Argus please take note

 

[Wozza]

Lovely stuff.

(Bet he didn't file that 10 mins after the whistle!)

 

[The Large One]

Agreed an extremely well written report. No name on the report but I can see that type of writing getting the chap/lady a good job in one of nationals

Looking at the style, it could be Jon Colman.

Excellent report. Thanks for posting it.

 

[chucky1973]

rickety stadium....cheek of it!

 

[Easy 10]

Carlisle drew out all Brighton’s dizzying pass-and-move football, and were obliged to score twice more themselves just to stay alive.

Such is the relentless quality of Gus Poyet’s team that you can become the first visiting side to find the way to their net three times in 2010/11 and still leave with nothing.

The Seagulls’ continental style is an intellectual rebuke to the more clumping tactics employed by others in League One, and it is to Carlisle’s credit that they stayed with their hosts until the final, cruel seconds.

Lovely stuff.

I also like how he refers to their upcoming game with Hartlepool as a 'derby'

 

[alan partridge]

Bloody hell. Very good. And to think Alan Shearer gets paid lots of money to be a pundit.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Great report - on a great game.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Fantastic read.
