Seconded, that did make me laugh out loud or LOL as I like to shorten it to, you know what that mnemonic might just catch on!

This is hilarious - I love this thread.

The documentary is surely one of the worst things ever committed to film.

Ditto! I actually laughed out loud. Then wheezed a bit and followed through

The makers of this absolute embarrassment want our feed back on twitter! @alleycatstv

I wonder if she has mellow turds!?

She's a cheap one that's for sure-she uses instant coffee ffs.

There is a good/great documentary waiting to be made about the trials and tribulations of the Albion on their journey to the promised land of the Amex. This wasn't it.

The second half covering the "must win" Watford was a complete waste of time.

They filmed around the club for over 6 months, so there must have been some more interesting footage and a different storyline/angle they could have used. I think trying to focus on one game (which clearly wasn't one game) was where it went badly wrong.

I'm think WABAFT has a certain charm to it and may well use it in future! Nice mnemonic making, now check your pants or NCYP as I often say!

What pants? NCYP ?

Well, at least myself, my two boys and my mate and his kid were on it twice! Or perhaps, I shouldn't be bragging about it!

LOL!!!!! xxx

Fancy a ruby murray?

That was HILARIOUSLY awful.

Some unbelievable editing errors/attempted tomfoolery by the documentary makers.

(nb - apologies if pointing out something someone else has already mentioned)

1. The bearded guy watching our "pivotal match against Watford" when in fact it was CLEARLY the Pompey match. Anyone who has recorded it, go back through the footage and all the evidence is there on the big screen behind him - including the last 3 letters of a booked opposition player's name ("AIM")... clearly Ben-Haim. He celebrates our "equaliser" in the 2-2 draw with Watford, while on the screen behind it says "0" next to the opposition's score. The after-match shot with the sun still out.... the Watford game was a 7.45pm. Was it still light at 10pm in April?

2. The bearded guy afterwards musing on a summer with "no football"..... "well I suppose there's the Olympics but there isn't much football in that." Err.........THE EURO'S?

Hilariously bad crock of shit.

It was strange seeing myself sitting in the press box at the end of the alleged Watford match, because I distinctly remember watching it from my seat in the WSU ...

 

[fcportaloo]

At least Gus had the good sense not to speak to camera. What a crock of shit

i missed it, but by reading the comments, i didnt miss much

I think More 4 must have looked at the finished film, deemed it to be a bit aimless, and demanded that it have more of an angle before they'd agree to use it. That would explain the dreadful ham-fisted editing and the blatant fakery of the storyline about the 'pivotal game against Watford'.

Hey don't Mocha....

Awful, truly awful.

Basically the last 30+ years for me as a Brighton fan has been one big rolercoaster. More highs and lows than an episode of Eastenders, and then this docu comes along. Last season was actually very dramatic, so many highs and lows. birds, balls and Brighton was a wonder..... It captured none of this.
If you filmed me on the toilet massively
Hung over and stinking of kebab the morning after a big match, you'd capture more passion and emotion than that pile of turd.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE MAKE A DECENT DOCU ABOUT THE ALBION

That's easily the case. There would be more passion if we filmed you staring at a cucumber for 30 minutes

Said it earlier, why did the club agree to this film being made? All 'behind the scenes' docs on football clubs are either terrible or portray the club in a bad light. The club had nothing to gain by this.
