Those at the game, what was it like........

[Deleted User X18H]

I jumped up and down like a big girl.

 

[Questions]

I hugged two total strangers and kissed the guy in the row behind me.
I had never met any of them before 2.58pm today.
At 5 today I remembered everything as to why I do it year in and year out.
(43 years and counting and I f***ing LOVE IT)

 

[Art Vs Science]

I very nearly hugged a complete stranger, our eyes met and i could there was a desire never before met by two strangers, But we kept our dignity and just clenched fists

Clarkey! This wasn't a 'nothing game'!? It's victories like this that mark the difference between the Albion of twelve months ago and the Albion of today.

I think our only issue this season will be other teams getting the measure of our game and trying to do a 'job' on us like those dirty northern monkeys tried today. :albion1:

Agreed about their celebration though - it was like England Belgium Italia 90 - prats

but how do teams stop us we have to much quality. if they want to put two men on lua lua fine just means Bennett sees more of the ball and vice versa, im still buzzing now Bennett was my MOM but Lua Lua just looked so good they couldnt even get close enough to him to foul him never mind stop him!!

 

[fire&skill]

Oh well now Im confused
I started a thread saying how excited I was for today, was told not to be because its a nothing game and now this.

It's these b*stards on here - playing with our minds!

FeedSandaza/Gav1901/BrightonLoyal went flying through the advertisement boreds, he then tried to run onto the pitch. 5 guards grabbed him.

Oh yeah, and that was another thing. Their whole team were back in their half, so where does it say in the rules that we aren't allowed to kick off just because they're dicking about. f*** 'em. The ref should have let us carry on.

Still would like to know the actual rules as to whether its allowable or not.

You are right though.... The good guys did win in the end!

The law:

Procedure
• all players must be in their own half of the field of play
• the opponents of the team taking the kick-off are at least 9.15 m (10 yds)
from the ball until it is in play
• the ball must be stationary on the centre mark
• the referee gives a signal
• the ball is in play when it is kicked and moves forward
• the kicker must not touch the ball again until it has touched another player
After a team scores a goal, the kick-off is taken by the other team.


I presume the ref hadn't given the signal for it to be taken. I can't really remember, I'd imagine most referees would wait for the team to get in some semblance of position and not just all in their own half.

Would've been absolute comedy gold if the ref had allowed us to KO and we'd scored while they were in a bum love pile! hahahaaha!

Well as the ref stopped play I can only assume he had not given the signal.

Thanks for the rules and the good guys won!

If Carlsberg Done Matchdays!

[ofco8]

Was great to look around whole stadium and see everyone going mental. Even the directors box was up and jumping.
Just waiting to see goals again on Football League prog. Still on high.!!!!!!!!!

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

some goon 2 seats away from me didn't get up, smile, clap, celebrate in any form when we scored the winner! When the final whistle went he just left in a huff and stormed off. What a miserable prick!

I went mental though!

I wonder if that was TCB or WW perhaps!















Only kidding.

 

[getofftheropes]

Been on a stag weekend in Bournemouth,was in the brasshouse pub saturday watching sky when the news came in,10 of us going mental!!!!!!!Quality moment

 

[defrocked priest]

Much like the bloke who lost his mobile phone, I dropped my hip flask.

 

[cheeseroll]

This whole thread had my hairs standing. Things are looking so good!

 

[bhaexpress]

As has been said by others I too came home rather hoarse, thanks in no small part to another comedy ref. Oldham are a team I find it easy to dislike, they have miserable fans by and large and their team are a bunch of cloggers so to see the points snatched from under their noses was quite lovely. Hearing shortly after that Palarse had lost 5-0 was the icing on the proverbial cake.

It all seemed to happen in 3 ever-increasing emotional stages. First was Kaz's run across and shot, saved for a corner. Then was the corner, the goal and the mass celebrations. Just when we thought it was over we heard that Hudds had lost - cue for even greater celebrations as we went top of the league. The most intense 2 minutes since the Swindon penalty shoot-out.
