We are time-wasting flappers

"the ugliest venue in the Football League" They got one thing right.

I can't help feeling they miss the point...yes, Peterborough dominated the final quarter of the game, and this is taken as some kind of indicator that they were unlucky...but frankly if it had been only one or two nil, we wouldn't have been playing the way we did, and I doubt they'd have had the space to knock it around like they tried to.

It's all very well saying you stuck some good performances in, but if you can only do that when the game is already gone, then it's not much use is it?

As usual, I'm with Edna. Whilst they did outperform us for the final 20 minutes, it was reminiscent of the way England used to always win the final test in an Ashes series, once Australia had already sealed the series win.

Hey, I disagree with that. Withdean is crap, but it's not ugly...hence the Theatre of Trees.

Brisbane Road is ugly, Colchester's ground is ugly, Scunthorpe's place is very ugly, but I think Withdean has its artistic merits!

Ankergren, , will gather the ball then drop to his knees before going down and burying his face in the ground... before dropping the ball, does some pointing and maybe picks it up again.
.

This would result in an indirect free kick to the opposition...

To be fair, Ankergren did take a bloody long time with some of the goal kicks yesterday.

and for some really bizarre reason so did Joe Lewis. They were 2-0 down and he time wasted - wtf!??!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

We are time wasting, flapping, winnning Seagulls.

To be fair, at 0-0 their goal keeper took minutes to take one of theirs!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

It does seem a strange report for a local newspaper.

I agree at first I thought it was a blogger's report not a professional reporter's. Very badly written.

 

[rool]

Are we not in fact smooth-passing, well-organised, time-wasting, big-spending, gay-loving, palace-hating, gus-busing League One leaders?

Could make a mid 70's pepsi style t-shirt out of that lot

But, so was their keeper at 0-0, it amazes me how quickly that changed when they were 2-0 down. All clubs do it and if they were 3-1 up they would have done exactly the same. All very frustrating when you're losing mind

There's no doubt that at 3-0 up we took our collective feet off the gas. Their defence with concede plenty more goals this season and that is why they won't go up.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Fact is, we've gubbed them 6-1 on aggregate over the two games, and had a penalty saved. So how 'flappy' we were and how much 'time-wasting' we did is now broadly irrelevant. Their local rag is doing their best to put a positive spin on it, because they're clearly plenty good enough to do well in this division and obviously want to talk them up. Let the baby have his bottle - we'll have the points, ta.

Why is our away support THAT much better than most other sides in this division. I would feel embarrassed supporting our club with only a couple of hundred. How many did we take to Peterborough? That was a awesome game and an awesome atmosphere.

people like having a pop when YOUR TOP OF THE LEAGUE let them keep moaning

Something to do with Withdean being such a crap place to watch football?

It was a strange match in that had they not scored, I could easily have seen us going on to win 4 or 5-0. But that goal seemed to give them a lot of impetus and we started to panic a bit. To be fair, they had us on the back foot - could easily have finished 3-3.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It... could easily have finished 3-3.

As their clownish Goals For/Against totals show, that was BY FAR the likeliest result.
