I was thinking the same thing. Odd that the OP has chosen to just include those three specific players in this discussion.

Funnily enough, I remember some FCUM fans chanting “One song! You’ve only got one song!” to us. Our response? “Two teams! You’ve only got two teams!” They shut up after that.

I like Right Here Right Now as a ramp up song. Cutting the sound to have Richie Reynolds introduce the teams onto the pitch was like a power cut at the Ministry of Sound just before the drop is about to happen. Don’t do it! Speak over the music if need be. I still think Sussex by the Sea is a...

They scored 3? I’d better get back and watch the penalties.

I wish I’d read this thread before heading up to the Amex for the match. :facepalm: Earliest I’ve ever been for kickoff.

I like some Smiths songs but have always found Morrisey to an insufferable bellend. This is a positive outcome.

I think the issue is deciding whether Sussex by the Sea is a ‘walk out song’ or a pre-kick off song. Everton have Z cars as they walk out. Chelsea have the Liquidator as they walk out. Man Utd have This is the One as they walk out. They all play different songs pre-kick off. In my opinion...

Maybe we could play an Ed Sheeran song instead?

Best Mexican in the UK? It’s not even the best in Brighton. I take it they’ve never heard of Las Iguanas?

If a home match has to move, Friday night is my preference. Bugger that for away matches though. I seem to remember Southend used to play most of their home games on Friday night to avoid clashing with West Ham home matches on a Saturday. They worked out a lot of their fans were really Irons...

Loved him in Coming to America.

We would have adopted ‘Mull of Kintyre’ as our walk out song in place of ‘Sussex by the Sea’.

Shin pads are a relic of the days when players used to dribble the ball up the field in a pack. Lots of hacking went on from the opposition trying to retrieve the ball. They don’t really serve much purpose in the modern game and certainly don’t prevent serious injuries.

Really? Pretty sure one of the referees is specifically tasked with calling 3 second violations. I’ve definitely seen it called in NBA games before.

There are plenty of alternatives used on other invasion games that could be tried instead of the current offside law (which I still think is fine). Amend it so it only states attacking players must be behind the ball at all times in a similar way to rugby. Use a ‘3 (seconds) in the key’ rule...

But crucially, with a ‘daylight’ change, you are giving the advantage to the attacking team leading to more goal scoring opportunities and hopefully more exciting matches.

Was that at the Withdean?

I once met Ronnie Pickering whilst riding my motorcycle in Hull.

Can we have a Declan Rice reaction emoji?

‘Robust methods’ by Brighton? I take it we were a team of cloggers?
