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

[marlowe]

If only Van Hecke had a bigger head.

Would you have said that about Murray if he'd missed that goal he scored with his penis against West Brom?

Actually it's Brug but Verbruggen is a kind of bridge.

overbruggen is to Bridge, so if he's partially irish it works (verbruggen is old fashioned
dutch, you might find it in old texts)

 

[AstroSloth]

Quite an absurd stat earlier, we haven't conceded a header or a goal from a cross this season. Only other team to do so is Palace.

 

[oldboyroy]

Mitoma having a quiet game so far....

Yes, hasn't got into the game at all

 

[Albion my Albion]

Veltman trying to get it to Mitoma might have gotten a bit more foot into it than he wanted.

JP in the wars today

No wonder Hurzeler didn't celebrate the early goal, he must've known our levels would drop after. Hopefully we'll get back to it after the half time team talk.

Pedro struggling

Did you know that Verbruggen in Dutch means "Bridge"?

Not quite

Bruggen suggests a plural > that suggests it's bridges. Ver- means it's a verb.

However, it's a really old word meaning to sell!

Horrible little tackles going in from Bournemouth

JP in the wars today

A Harry Kane 'make a back for your opponent' approach from the Bournemouth guy there.

 

[New Englander]

Bournemouth a bit thuggish. And Veltman being Veltman. Entertaining.

 

[Si Gull]

Very poor challenge from Semenyo. Georginio lucky to avoid a bad injury. Velts wound up, scary!

 

[Si Gull]

Offside, hopefully.

Murray in Swahili means penis I heard.

 

[Marty McFly]

Pretty poor camera angles here

 

[huzzah]

how are they even checking this it's miles off side (on telly at least).
- edit - was looking at wrong person!

Poor positioning of the camera.

VAR reviewing goal

First ball looked offside with Van Hecke holding his line.

Well done Van Hecke.

 

[Bodian]

The second ball looks potentially offside as well.
