the referee definently had a word with sullivan after we scored - not sure what it was all about though as we were too busy going mad. and it did seem to take a ridiculously long time to restart the match
Taking this quote from DP's post ...
The celebration by the goalscorer was also out of order, once more I can accept him going to his own supporter's but to go to our dug out is once more TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER, even under normal circumstances today it was nothing more than INSULTING.
And then looking at this pic on our official website......
would suggest that the Hartlepool supporter is completely wrong in his judgement of the situation.
Looks like he's pretty much on the halfway line, which would make him fairly close to both benches.
Regardless, the main beef seems to be with Elphick, not Big Bas.

must of their fans fans on the rivals board seem to except that that is what bas does when he scores - however, if elphick did show a complete lack of respect with this whole armband incident then that is another matter
He got booked for running on the pitch.

I'd love to know Elphick's take on the incident.
He just said handbags really! He doesnt recall any Elphick incident.

What Tommy Elphick did or did not do is almost beside the point now. The Hartlepool fans have taken massive offence at a time when feelings are running high. The Albion are an honest club, and Tommy Elphick strikes me as an honest knid of player, so both should be big enough to apologise to Hartlepool. irrespective of whether there was any intent on Tommy's part or not. Personally I don't believe there was. Never saw the incident yesterday but Tommy Elphick is always one of the most pumped-up Albion players at the final whistle at Withdean and I'm pretty sure yesterday was no exception. But like somebody said higher up the thread I'm sure he'll be pretty mortified to be accused of disresping the memory of the lad that died. Can you imagine the reaction of the Albion faithful last week if Kandol had kissed the black armband after scoring Leeds winner last week? There would have been a riot.
So... the club and the player should apologise to Hartlepool.

Considering no one really knows what happened i think their fans are going abit OTT.

Sorry, no laughing matter, but this is QUALITY:
"i nipped into asda after that to get some bread and a tub of ice cream and seen the brighton lads getting some refreshments for the journey home.
the bus was outside waiting for them like.
i chucked a ciabatta roll at it.
it was a symbolic yet fulile gesture.
particularly as it missed the bus and hit a dark blue honda civic."

I read that on their board. It,s good to see that most message boards have writers who can "pen" an amusing tale. Makes me realise that we,re ALL just football supporters, sharing a similar passion for our football clubs.

Why is it okay for their player to kiss the armband, but not our player?
Did we not share a tribute for the same deceased person? But ours are supposed to apologise for scoring I suppose.

Was it Elphick's handball that gave Hartlepool the penalty? If so it could be argued that Barker was actually taking the piss out of Elphick by kissing the armband??
Never had the monkey hanging hard Northerners down as such a bunch of oversensitive losers. If they'd won there would have been none of this pathetic mud slinging.

From the video evidence, it does seem that someone realised that Elphick in particular needed to be bundled out of the way pronto.
