[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crawley Town *** Official Match Thread ***

[Steve in Japan]

Honestly, have disliked this competition for a while, but since the Villa game in 2019 I have been tipped over the edge.

Nothing I have seen in the last 45 minutes has changed my mind.

 

[Mike Small]

Igor looks diabolical. Sarmiento looks way off it after his great sub appearance V Everton. Harsh but Mahoney doesn't really look like a footballer. See what he can do on loan.

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

He just pushed Enciso off the ball. Webster or Julio need to do him or one of the older players (Milner, Dunk) need to have a word with him. Prick.

Webster was in the officials ears all the way off the pitch at half time, we can only assume he was using the W word to get the point across.

Anyone else using sky sports+ and the stream being awful? Stop start every minute or so

Yup, score/clock disappeared approaching the end of the half as well.

 

[willalbion]

the **** even has the audacity to put his hands up afterwards to say “what? me, ref?”

absolute embarrassment to the profession

That’s a shocker. He could be out for a while. What a tnuc

View from west stand lower at half time.

Bad tackle on O'Riley... but, really poor showing from some of these players. A real deficit in leadership. Very quiet. Heads down, hoping for talent to take over. Reminded me that the likes of Sarmiento, Ayari, and I'm afraid, my perspective, lamptey are just not Prem level.

Baleba on the other hand is f***ing brilliant. I love him.

Julio looks about 15 stone overweight

Mahoney could do with some crosses. He 'scored' with the only one he has had, but the crosses was offside.

I paid for a day pass and just got money back as they said its not being shown even though its listed. Cant find a stream anywhere and really frustrating so know your pain

 

[jabba]

No ads refreshing but where's the half-time show? Has Gully been cancelled?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Is this ref an FL ref? Surely not. A piss-soaked tramp found outside Molly Malone’s 45 mins before kick off I might believe, but I cannot believe he officiates professional football.

 

[Mancgull]

Who can we put someone on to take that Williams out?
Unfortunately the way O’Riley reacted I think he’s broken a bone. A disgraceful challenge and for the ref to not give a yellow is one of the most bizarre decisions I’ve seen.
We need to step up a couple of gears. Fab needs to do some shouting and get the team going. No one really showing that they should be playing in the first team apart from maybe Baleba and Enciso.

All correct.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Is Richie back on the PA? Good if so.

 

[Hometownglory]

The O'Riley injury did not look good and has overshadowed this game completely. Crawley are a dirty bunch and the ref is an absolute disgrace.
I just hope that injury isn't as bad as I fear!
Poor showing overall.

Wiliams has been begging for a slap

Scottish league 1 you mean?

I couldn't access Brighton game on Nowtv on TV. Abandon TV and login on desktop and selected with mouse.

 

[Swegulls]

… Crawley 56% possession…

 

[Invicta]

Look very poor, none of this lot challenging for a start on Saturday. Terrble tackle on O'Riley, Need Duffy to take that funt out !

 

[Alex BH]

Ref is shocking let some clear fouls go for both sides.
