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

[trueblue]

Great result. There'll be a bit of blah blah blah about Bournemouth not taking their chances but that's just a fact of life in the Premier League. Even the likes of Liverpool and Man City usually have at least a couple of scares per game.

Held the lead really well, we've genuinely got one of the world's top 10 keepers and a set of attackers that even the top clubs would envy.

And Stuart Atwell can go home and add another entry to his 'cracking games I spoiled to make myself the centre of attention' wall chart, so everyone's happy.

What a c unt of a ref! Thought Brighton well deserved win. Some great defending and two well taken goals. Thank you Mitoma

And Pedro - goal and assist for the second match running.

Utterly deserved, despite twat Attwell's best efforts.
That was not a second yellow for Baleba (look at it!) and he added even more time.
The guy is weird or corrupt....make your own choice.
Still...we won...and are fifth...I'd have bitten my own hand off at the beginning of the season for that.

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Given Bournemouths form, that is possibly an even better result than the last game. Two great goals and a shocking decision for 2nd yellow - there was no contact. I wonder if we can appeal the suspension.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Why was there 7 1/2 minutes of stoppage time? Atwell must be furious.

Gotcha.

It was 9 minutes.

 

[Hometownglory]

Never a second yellow in my view. Very good result that! Muff are a good side, especially at home in tricky conditions. Shame we couldn't keep the clean sheet. Tired minds/legs perhaps. I feared another Wolves collapse when they got that goal. UTA

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Great 3 points. Need to fully capitalise on them now by not dropping points v Southampton

Can I also just say I thought Weiffer was solid when he came on.

Just lay low after you say it. Wieffer haters in abundance.

We need mandatory drug testing for referees.

You can. He was. And I really hope he pushes on now. There's a good player in there, I'm sure of it.

Bugger! Lost my score predictor so still haven't got 1 right. Happy with the win against a good side and with only 10 men for virtually 40 mins including added time. Tough win but a great result and the sort of game we'd lose in previous years. Saints at home next and certainly not a gimme but good chance to keep the momentum going for europe.

 

[Seagull58]

Yes we did.

The added on added on time was fair enough - because of the VAR check. But really not sure where the initial six minutes came from. No injuries/treatment - normal number of subs.

He played over 8 minutes added time.

To be pedantic it means "from the bridge', so historically the derivation of the surname was to describe someone who lived in the vicinity of a bridge or under a bridge.

So from that we are led to understand that Bart is a descendant of a family of trolls.

That explains the haircut.

Great win!! 3 big points that

We should be ok against Southampton with Baleba bossing the midfield

I prefer joint 3rd 1 point off second

You can’t appeal a red that’s two yellows.

Ref was consistent, booked one of their players for same type of foul. We managed the game well in the end

 

[WATFORD zero]

Some brilliantly organised and professional defending when down to 10 men together with two beautiful goals. That'll do nicely
