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

[Skaville]

I agree but, I don't see anything at all in Weiffer, what am I missing? What does he do well?

I thought he was excellent when he came on, exactly what we needed. Read the game and won the ball on several occasions. It was the same against Spurs.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Obviously, it's easy to have a pop at Atwell, but from his angle it's a clear yellow. He sees Baleba go in late, catch the player on the shin and then writhe in agony, which is a yellow from his perspective.

I don't think he can see that he makes no contact and can only call what he sees

So you're saying he has seen something that hasn't happened?.

I'm saying he called what he thought he saw. Turns out it was wrong, but his eyes don't have the benefit of other angles and replays and the yellow removed VAR as a safety net.

It may have been wrong, but it was an honest decision to me

Agree totally. I’m confident he’s going to be a really good player for us.

One of those that we look back on early posts about him and take the piss out of the posters.

He’s a player.

Brilliant result. It wasn't an excellent performance, but collecting another three points shows the amazing fighting spirit of this team. Our defending was great, Pedro and Mitoma were clinical and we also had a little bit of luck! Disappointing with Baleba, but I'm sure this team will achieve something special this season. UTA!

What no are we on MOD

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

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. Needs to reign it in a little after a booking but that’s his game snd only other option is to sub off. Agree with the Weiffer comments. Pleased he did well after coming on after lots of stick including from me!

Baleba got sent off for the offence of being on a football pitch no other reason.

I thought the first guy gets it more or less right

He said the same thing 25 times

Does anybody know whether @OzMike will be awake for today's match?

Nope, I went to bed early, feeling a bit moby.
Woke up to a good result, though still not well.

 

[Eddie Bee]

Agree to disagree then. Sorry it was a foul but not a booking. Look at it another way, he was always going to rack up 5 booking at some point. Southampton H not the worst game to miss!

Seen it now, Baleba got caught by the Bournemouth player's follow through, have a look at it again.

It's one of those that you can see coming in the stadium but on TV I was like, "what fùck are doi...whoah"

Exactly what I went through - couldn't understand why he hadn't passed it to one of the other frontrunners, till Mitoma appeared on the screem!

How can it be an honest decision to book someone for a foul he has not seen?

Hope the result perks you up a tad!

Just seen the 2nd yellow. Wow. Very very soft. If that’s a yellow, then every single foul is a yellow. Barely even touches the Bournemouth player.

MoTD conclusion as well.

25 times right isn’t that bad then

and wearing a Brighton top

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

I disagree with you. 'Harsh yellow' makes it sound like it was a foul by Baleba, but the yellow was questionable, but in my opinion it wasn't a foul by Baleba. He didn't go in for a tackle from a distance, he stayed on his feet and ran across while his opponent went to ground.



Delighted we won, but I feel we're getting too many bad decisions, and Baleba missing against Southampton could cost us more points.

Does it natter though when we win? Couldn’t give a f*** about the ref.

 

[Triggaaar]

MoTD conclusion as well.

MoTD also weren't convinced it was even a foul
