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

[Triggaaar]

Maybe the only positive about Baleba getting 2 yellows is that he will get a weeks rest - he has played a fair bit recently and we do have other midfield options for next Friday's game.

We'll know at full time on Friday.

I saw that What did Adringa do ?

On the wing - could have taken it to the corner. Cut inside, and tried a dinky little chip to Mitoma - but straight to their guy, who launched it upfield.

Luckily we didn't have 54 players up with Mitoma like we did against Wolves.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That reminds me of those cardboard tables they used to give away with shoot magazine, where you slotted the teams in as they changed position throughout the season. I used to religiously keep them up to date until around mid September when it became boring and a faff.

Me too. Albeit, late August, probably.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

But Baleba didn't commit a foul! Their player slid in and was late.

I think their player deserved a yellow for simulation

 

[Triggaaar]

Key moment that. We need to learn better game management. Could have easily ended up another Wolves which wouldn’t have been deserved and gutting. Knew Baleba was getting send off after the first booking. He is still a bit naive.

Naive for not taking Atwell's incompetence into account?

Needs to reign it in a little

He did nothing wrong.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Superb result despite the shaky performance at times judging comments and reports. Buzzing. Onto the next!0

 

[Seagullinhove]

I think adingra has got away with one there. What a silly thing to do. Even hurtzeler had a word with him at the end ! Still, excellent result.

I think he may have twisted his ankle a little in the ground, but it wasn't Baleba's fault. Awful decision from an awful ref.

 

[Flounce]

In a couple of years time expect to see a video shot in Stuart Atwell's front room with a coked up off-duty referee confessing to thinking Brighton and Hove Albion are a bunch of Koontz.
Nob-end.

I really hope we challenge that second yellow, was Atwell born in Croydon?

 

[oldboyroy]

Looking again at that sending off and it was a shocking decision which fortunately, didn't cost us in the end. I wish VAR could get involved as it surely wouldn't have been given!

 

[Jeremiah]

Massive result and a very valuable 3 points - we‘re 5th guys Onwards and upwards, and Palace still in the bottom 3

Can you challenge a yellow card ? I thought not.

 

[smillie's garden]

That was brilliant. We have more grit than a pebble-dashed house: loved it!

 

[pasty]

Just seen our second. The Pedro assist is filthy

Surely it’s not too difficult to make a small amendment to the rules to allow VAR to look at second yellows. It is, after all, just as important as a straight red or is it too much to expect common sense? Yes I know the answer.

 

[Flounce]

Can you challenge a yellow card ? I thought not.

Can you challenge a yellow card ? I thought not.

No idea but that was a very dodgy decision from a ref that seems to have an agenda against us.

 

[Sussexscots]

Absolutely dancing and delighted to follow up the win over City115 by beating this bunch on their own patch.

Pished off about the Baleba dismissal. It didn't cost us today, however, for me, Atwell is, perhaps, the poorest referee in the history of the Premier League. He really hasn't improved much over time. Admittedly, the bar is pretty low.

Marvelous to see the quality Joâo Pedro brings to our attack.

Hoping for an evisceration of Stains on Friday night.

 

[Grizz]

Just seen our second. The Pedro assist is filthy

That assist by Pedro is pure filth! Love it!

Yes you can. Independent Review Panel

That's only for mistaken identity isn't it ?
