I will happily argue that I'm the worst. Played goal for brighton college seconds, a school where anyone half good at sport played rugby, and made one appearance for the firsts where we duly lost 7-1, despite the best efforts of @Mackenzie at centre half to save my blushes. Frustrating that i...

I think you're just going to have to accept that there isn't consistency in this one. Cards for dissent and foul and abusive language are completely subjective and context-dependent, and maybe that's just fine. Dunks timing, words, manner of delivery and the match context all conspired against...

It is, of course, possible that a player telling a referee that he's a complete bellend straight to his face is actually a fairly rare occurence

Is it not OK to at least question what we are seeing? Its not as if its a direct accusation of corruption, but suggesting it as one of several possibilities in the abstract shouldn't be libellous? Its not as if referee corruption is some hypothetical, there have been numerous cases around the...

I'm pretty sure he meant to give a yellow then a red, but forgot the yellow bit in the heat of the moment and now they're just saying that was always what he meant to do, to save some embarrassment.

You could argue that Gilmour was a replacement brought in before selling. Our CM is certainly not bad, it's not just at good as it was. But it was never going to be, those were two of the best in the world at that position. We were lucky to have had them.

Yeah, maybe, i don't know. I do know that Caicedos team in Belgium were also bottom of the league when he came to us in January 2022, all depends on whether they think the player is ready to be around the brighton first team as the next step in his development.

The kind of player we sign in the January window is pretty clear, this is the list of players we've spent money on in January. 23/24 - Mazilu 22/23 - Buonanotte, Ayari 21/22 - Kozlowski, Undav 20/21 - Caicedo 19/20 - Lamptey 18/19 - MacAllister, Mlakar, Baluta The last...

Not a single Villa player in his team of the week despite them getting the result of the weekend. One of their defenders even scored which is usually a shoe-in for getting in the TOTW. And Martinez' performance in goal was absolutely outstanding, you won't see many better this season, but he...

We had the delights of Birtles in Indonesia too :)

Really watchable game. Villa are a very good side, but they largely won that game thanks to Martinez, fantastic keeper.

All the BBC stories on the game are now saying two yellows, I'm still not sure it really IS a straight red after all, despite Taylor only showing one yellow and then the red, the official line may still be two yellows

Dunk got sent off meaning we had to fight for a backs to the wall win which got everyone very excited and jumping around beating their chests. Better than your bog standard win and will stand us in good stead, so well done Lewis :)

Quite good isn't he :)

I'd have been exactly the same as him (in reverse) Daft getting fans of a club to be co commentators. However it did make the final whistle all the sweeter 😀

Or called their striker a cheating c**t for diving

I guess i can't. But also can't remember the last time a player got a straight red for something he said to the ref. I reckon it will stay a straight red now to protect the refs integrity, but i still reckon he meant to give a second yellow but just didn't in the heat of the moment

And if, as seems more likely, he called Forest's striker a cheating c**t, is that also worthy of a straight red?

Yes, he was shown a straight red - but I'm sure it was really two yellows and Taylor was just too flustered to pull out his yellow a second time. I'm not sure what offence he could have committed to earn a straight red? If he was shown a straight red rather than a second yellow it could be...

I thought he was good, and then he just lost it. A captain should be able to speak to the ref without getting two yellow cards in 10 seconds. Insane really.
