Brighton and Hove Albion versus Burnley - ***Official Match Thread***

[Mackenzie]

Such a shame. Three points dropped......bloody football

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Balls. Good effort.

 

[Seagull kimchi]

0-1 to the ref then

 

[Si Gull]

Shit result but could have been so much worse....

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Unfortunate but a great performance by the Albion... Im goign tow ait to hear about the red cards but if Vince and Barnes deserve it they really let us down today because we were up for this one. Anyway, on we go.

 

[Saltydog]

I have not see any pics - do we appeal against Barney's red?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Burnley being booed off the pitch

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

Would have won with 11 men from the sound. Score one for poor discipline. Getting sent off for retaliation is pointless, no matter what the other team did first.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

After the match officials last week I thought they couldn't get any worse.

 

[Brixton Seagull 2]

Won't get too mad until I hear proper analysis about the 2 reds. Great effort to keep the score down, sounds like CMS could have got us a point

 

[Mackenzie]

Gus's interview should be a CRACKER..........disappointed with the result, but soooo proud of the (remaining) players and our amazing support.

 

[vegster]

fantastic performance but, the two sendings off decided the game. I think its time that ref's and in particular, the FA, are accountable for their actions. if the club gets 5 or more bookings in a game they are charged with failing to control their players. Why can't the FA be charged with supplying sub-standard officials ?

 

[looney170]

shame about the result.. but what a performace!! very proud of the team and all the fans who made our 10th man!!

 

[GT49er]

When the referees are allocated, do the clubs have an option to appeal? - we should never have to play against this ref again!

Well said that man!
Its not just the Premiership Refeering is below par, its the Championship Referees as well. The FA really need to do something before a Manager (prob Gus) lamps a Referee after the final whistle.

Elbow for the first, nothing...barnes could see he was going to & get done fir the 2nd...unbelievable the other guy wasn't shown a card, disgraceful... Momentumgpibg for us 20 mins to ho, Buckley put on with a minute left, Appallingly late v bad call...cms bottled in from 6 yards 2 mins into injury time with 1 player to beat backing onto line....get nothing for not scoring from one down & wevteally COULD have done...

Hear, hear. What the man said. And this is, unlike pace, or a poacher's eye, or vertical leap, within coaching's reach to address.

No one ever got the VC for a self-inflicted wound.

If thats what you want to Beileve.... Anyway why arnt you at the Game?

I couldn't go, had to take my 5 year old to a kids birthday party.
