[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Fulham *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
Fulham were the better team first half we were much improved second half our bench is one of the best in the country and the spirit within the team combined with a never say die attitude playing until the final whistle means we ground out a result, come the end of the season wherever we end up its wins like these that might just win us something

I have a slight niggle with the 6 in a row thing.
We drew against Newcastle.
I know it's petty, but happier with the 4 Prem games in a row.

Staring at the rude boys
Looked soft in real time but the replay from another angle showed the defender caught Pedro's ankle/foot.
One of those that, had the ref not given it, VAR probably would.

Not sure Fulham were the better team in the first half.
I just saw 2 teams not really on it.
Just got back, one of the greatest Amex endings. I felt about 7 or 8 of our players were outstanding against crafty, talented opponents. Iwobi and Robinson were, no surprise, annoyingly effective.

Point of order my friend. Albion won four in a row to reach safety in 1981.
So let's win at Manchester City to make sure of it.

That double tackle from Wieffer in injury time was a thing of beauty

They looked like they had 12 on the pitch. Such a difficult team.

What was wrong with the third one?

Can I just say before the below, that Iāve been criticised on here before for not being biased enough to my team. I consider myself very fair when it comes to referees and perceived bias, but there can be no complaints from Fulham today.
A few Fulham fans are moaning about this on the Fulham forum. It was even pointed out there that the exact wording is, and always has been in recent times, āa minimum of X minutesā. This is to prevent this exact complaint, because unlike Rugby, it is at the refereeās discretion due to the clock never stopping.
We were on the attack in the final third, and youāll notice that a ball in live play with one team mounting a dangerous attack, the referee will never blow until the ball is either cleared or goes out of play. This is to prevent farces like this:
Had we not scored or recycled back one more time, he wouldāve blown, but the penalty was given 20 seconds give or take after the 5 allotted minimum minutes.
Tough titty on this one Iām afraid, and it was a clear penalty too.

Seemed to be a similar soft one about 10 minutes earlier, which was waved away by the ref.i wondered whether that was one of those that wouldn't have been overturned if the ref had given it.
Or was it an obvious dive?

Well that was just delicious. After years of Fulham either battering us or shithousing their way to undeserved, ugly, spawny, last ditch wins, I could not be happier.
Honestly, if before the match, youād offered me a 4-0 win or a narrow victory at the death thanks to a 98th minute penalty that theyāre absolutely fuming about, Iād take the latter every single time. And I hope theyāre all angrily stomping their way all the way back to Waitrose on Fulham High Street in the sort of frothing rage that can only be soothed by a tub of freshly made organic houmous and a handful of artisan sourdough breadsticks.
