    [Football] The ticking Profit and Sustainability (FFP) timebomb...

    Is meeting limits this time enough? If, for instance, Chelsea sell Colwill and Gallagher and make the money needed to avoid a failing PSR what would that do for next season? They are on a rolling three year assessment period. How much of the spend carries over? If Chelsea do get away with it...

    [Albion] Time to bin Hey Jude?

    I don't feel strongly about it, so have voted 'not bothered', but it feels like hey jude is too generic a football song. I don't think I've ever not seen the away fans sing along with their own team name in it.

    [Albion] Positives from Forest game.

    I thought we were good for the half time lead, but wouldn't have any complaints if they'd managed to get something in the second half. First half we dominated possession, largely played the game in their half, but struggled to get past their parked bus of a defence. A deserved bit of fortune...

    [Albion] That was a red wasn’t it?

    Official highlights so shouldn't be removed for copyright. Challenge is from 1.59 on Red for me. He lunges in, and the number of times we see dermot and other refs talk about any time you leave the ground etc.

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest *** Official Match Thread ***

    I really want to say I can't see us losing a fourth in a row, but I don't feel all that optimistic.

    [Albion] Premier League 9-11/3/24

    They do. We just never get penalties for it.

    [Albion] Valentín Barco **Season Loan To Sevilla 23/08/24**

    Is it too late to back out of the deal?

    [Albion] The third goal was offside?

    I don't know about written, https://talksport.com/football/1388768/brighton-receive-pgmol-apology-penalty-tottenham-kaoru-mitoma/ One apology for one of the 5 decisions widely believed to be wrong in the Spurs match. One apology for the Estupinian goal being ruled offside v Palace One for the...

    [Albion] The third goal was offside?

    Looking at every other brighton player's leg in that photo, and the angle they are all standing, I would suggest his ankle is slightly to the right of his calf (though his leg is at less of an angle than the others, there is still lean to it)

    [Albion] The third goal was offside?

    I said the same in the match thread.

    [Albion] We now have a BETTER chance of playing in Europe next year

    We beat liverpool twice last season. You have to got back two years for the last time Liverpool beat us. Why is us beating them again so unlikely? Same for global giants Man Utd (in normal time). We tore Tottenham apart in late December. Since getting to the premier league we have 6 wins v...

    [Albion] Will people bother going to the home tie next week?

    I'd be happy with a tight 4-0 and a win on penalties.

    [Albion] Brighton fans -Have we lost some Perspective? Good things to say about Brighton please!

    We have a very good chance of getting to that magical 40 point safety mark before the end of the season.

    [Albion] Entitlement, Scapegoats and Blame Culture........

    'Entitlement' is the latest buzz phrase to shut down anyone being disappointed, and it's ill used. Entitlement is believing you are owed the points (or win). That opponents should lay down and give them to you just because of who you are, or what you acheived in the past. Entitlement is not...

    [Albion] Entitlement, Scapegoats and Blame Culture........

    Someone was on here posting about how good we are in the game following a 3+ goal defeat. It's their fault.

    [Albion] Will people bother going to the home tie next week?

    Likely our last European game for a long time.

    [Albion] Go on Jason Steele !!!!

    Left a pretty big gap at his near post for the second goal, dived over the ball for the third.

    [Albion] AS Roma vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Being generous, the camera is not level with the last men there's a slght angle to it, and I think Dunk and Van Hecke's right feet could be keeping him onside by millimetres (and how many times have fans called for that sort of allowance and more for offsides - "thicker lines!" "Daylight!")...
