[Albion] Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Mike Small]

AJ's contribution so far: gives away a penalty, loses the ball, tells the ref he touches the ball, gets offside. It can only get better!

Will look forward to that penalty being analysed thoroughly on MOTD2 and covered extensively in the press.

Don’t hold your breath

Dive. Plain and simple

Alan Smith is SOOO biased. Just as bad as Neville and Carragher.

I have corrected your post for you

 

[Ernest]

Taylor was so close to that decision but still got it wrong , what hope do we have

Stupid challenge though. He is a bloody liability. Just left his leg dangling for the Arsenal player to fall over.

The ball was there and he won it!

Alan Smith currently trying to take Steve McManaman's crown for most biased commentator

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Why is Bissouma the only player who you’d want to turn up and bother watching these days

And then he is incredibly dropped for the next game...

 

[Bladders]

The tv angles aren't the best, but he got the ball. Not sure if he tripped the player first, but looked very soft.

Having seen it again it’s beyond soft, a clear dive

The graphic just showed we've conceded most pens this season in the Prem, and it's no surprise players dive when when they know the prospect of us scoring two is slim. When is Alan Smith going to admit that was a blatant dive by Monreal?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Joke decision, complete dive by Monreal, Alan Smith showing how biased he is on commentary.

Commentators now talking about a Monreal ban for diving. The only Albion fans who think it’s a penalty are the Ali J haters because bias is clouding their judgement.

 

[Bold Seagull]

No they don't, they should be able to spot a dive from 3 yards though.

Exactly, shit decision, thought about it and realised he was reffing a top game.

Jesus after several replays Alan Smith actually brings himself to say it might be a dive!!! No friggin maybe about it. Scandalous decision.

 

[Sorrel]

Nice bit of play there. If only we could score and worry Arsenal a bit.

 

[WhingForPresident]

This lot are just woeful defensively.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

**** me, most excitement I’ve had for weeks

 

[SeagullDubai]

What a spell. Bissouma is superb

It wasn’t that clear, telly has replayed it 10 times and no one can say yes or no there wasn’t a marginal touch. It was a 50-50 call by the ref and in those circumstances they will be influenced by the appalling clumsiness of the tackle

 

[Guinness Boy]

I agree we need to sell him but hat's not the point. He won the challenge, he couldn't do any more. Shocking refereeing decision.

There’s a camera angle where he touches Monreal and one where he doesn’t. He’s behind the attacking player though so any contact is a pen. It was a needless and thoughtless challenge
