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

[Littlemo]

in the replays, he clearly hits the ball, changing the flight of the ball. disgraceful decision,

the ball doesn’t change its flight though. He barely clips it at most but mainly he kicks Gabriel. I don’t like it but it’s a fairly clear pen tbh

 

[Lethargic]

I can understand some discussion but that was not a penalty, Lamptey makes initial contact with the ball in a genuine tackle his leg follows through but you can clearly see him pulling his leg back to try and avoid contact, Jesus then scores a 9.7 dive and the ref is conned.

The ref has demonstrated so far in the game he is a gooner at heart of just plain incompetent.

 

[Zeberdi]

Good attempt by Enciso- we are still in this …

Or maybe you should go for basketball as you’re clearly not sure on the rules of football and you’re in the best country for it. It doesn’t matter that he got a ‘slight’ touch on the ball, it’s still a foul. Stupid challenge.

He’s changed the direction of the ball, meaning Jesus loses control of it, which is why Jesus manufactures the contact.

It’s not a foul. Anyone that’s ever played football to a good level and that knows the rules knows it isn’t.

We absolutely don’t get that, put it that way.

Wonderful effort from Enciso

It doesn't look like that from the rear view. From the side view you can see it significantly moves the ball.

Very clumsy from Lamptey

If he'd missed the ball it would. But he didn't. He played ball and Jesus threw himself over his legs as any striker would.

Short of Lamptey stepping aside and letting him run through, there is nothing more he can do, it's a contact sport, he played BALL first. No studs up, nothing.

That isn't a penalty.

 

[fruitnveg]

shouldn't that have been a foul on Dunk, two handed shove?

This. I hate this ref, but I can see why the ref gave it from his angle. VAR a shambles as usual. Should have been overturned. Clear and obvious

This is getting up there with Spurs away last season in terms of obvious corruption- or at least bias- from the officials.

Still a chance, we need RDZ getting them well up to smash these twats second half.

 

[Hendrax]

2 hands in the back of Enciso. no foul, obviously.

 

[WhingForPresident]

How long for the lino to see Rice 10 yards off? After the f***ing obvious foul on Enciso not given.

 

[Ethelwulf]

This ref

When they start disallowing perfectly good goals, i'll agree. Otherwise it still has quite a way to go to reach those levels.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Enciso shoved in the back and the ref waves play on. Getting silly now.

 

[boik]

He literally won the f***ing ball and Jesus manufactured contact. Cheating ****s prosper as always.

He didn't WIN the ball - he barely touched it and it never changed direction. I'm sorry but that's an obvious penalty, much as I wish it wasn't.

 

[zefarelly]

Shocking refereeing

No, check the badge.

Without even knowing you, I’m 99% sure I played and coached to a higher level than you. It’s a foul.

 

[Bridcutt]

The reffing has been terrible but we can't get through their press well enough and when we do we're not creating chances
