The ref

[Brighton Breezy]

A tackle from behind like Elphick's is a booking regardless of whether they get the ball.

Hawkins I felt for slightly because it was something of a reaction to pull the player back. That said, still a red.

The ref was in NO WAY to blame for our defeat.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Oh and Dickinson CLEARLY dived when he got booked.

Plus how did the ref not give another pen to us for blatent handball?

You mean the one where the stockport player had his hands down, was a couple of yards away from our player when the ball was whacked at him at pace and he had no chance to get his arm out the way in a textbook example of 'ball to hand'?

from where i was sat, the stockport player had both arms out, not down.......

no disputing that one!

I said down, not stuck to his sides, I mean he wasn't making a "T" with his body or anything, it wasn't like his arms were out in an unnatural way like he was deliberately trying to handball it, and when the ball was kicked, like I said before, it was kicked at such a pace from such a close proximity he didn't have a chance to react. Textbook ball to hand.

But it wasn't from behind. Do keep up.

How old are you?

Hawkins was bought on after a Brighton red card, what should Slade have done?
Throw his hands in the air and say "that's it, I give up!"

He took a very poor Dean Cox off and who else could he bring on from the bench?

If you know more about the team than Slade, I give up and will never watch the Albion again!

I would rather El-Abd play then Hawkins even though El-Abd is hardly great.
