[Albion] AEK Athens FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[brighton_tom]

AEK manager saying his team was beaten by a “200 million (£172m) euro team”.

By my rough count last nights 11 cost around £75m….

It’s ok to play the tear gassing down saying we weren’t the target, it drifted in from outside etc, me and my son briefly suffered discomfort and I was choking my guts up. As soon as it was over we laughed about it.

However, I saw a few of our older and, for want of a better phrase, overweight fans were seriously in a bad way which then has the potential to turn into something serious. Hopefully they are ok this morning.

On the other hand, they'd probably cost other teams €500m!

Hopefully the time on the queue isn't as long as the one getting into Amsterdam last time out, as that was longer than the flight over.

The only rioting i was going to get involved in would have been me starting it if the lovely restaurant had run out of that exquisite saganaki fried cheese. Otherwise of course not.

Restaurant owner whispers to head waiter: "Ο Μάρτιν Φράι άφησε τον εαυτό του να φύγει"

Well worth the climb for a pint of Alfa up here

Boy we were poor last night and rode our luck, but who cares we ground out the 3 pts.

 

[Durlston]

Sounds like an amazing experience out in Athens and glorious weather to go with it. So glad for the fans who went there and saw a vital win.

Here's to Young Boys or Sporting Braga in the next round.

It does sound like it was a lot worse in the lower tier than upper. Hopefully no lasting effects for anybody.

Not really playing it down here - as you say it was still pretty unpleasant and several people were quite visibly distressed/affected even in the upper tier.......feel for anyone with respiratory problems in particular as it would have been horrible - my throat was burning.

How many will Barber ban do we reckon.

I reckon 5 is the magic number. Though he does like to punish, so maybe double figures?

Waiting game I guess.

Watched the game on the TV last night on my own. I hate it, don't know why I feel more stressed watching us on the TV. So happy for the result and for the people who made the trip. Hope you all get back safe and had a great time. I now hope to have another trip to look forward to, as holiday work days renew for next year and a chance to build up funds again. Up the Albion.

I'm the same, can't watch us on TV without twitching like an adict.

Being there is so much better, regardless of location. This place though...

I will credit the Greek police with some intelligence (perhaps theyve used TG before too) that proximity wind etc it would end up in a confined space. Unacceptable and I hope the club put an official complaint into UEFA.

It wasn't so bad. Still day, it happens I guess. Can't comment whether it was an over reaction or not but we got away safely so thankful for that

None, or maybe one fella off to the right, who clearly got out of his bed on the wrong side, yesterday morning.

Barber-Out will point to the extreme provocation and the fact that 99.9% of us were model customers.
The .1% will be quietly forgotten about.

Never going to be none, he will see an opportunity and go for it. Can't resist it.
