[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace *** Official Match Thread ***

[OzMike]

Just woke up, great result, will watch replay after work.
Broke the 40 point barrier, so safe now too !

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Au contraire, mon Amis were won

 

[Oh_aye]

Fair play to their GK by the way.

Ha. Just got back and logged on to say the same. Young kid. Got hammered all the way through, couldn't do much about the goal but was really excellent and super assured with his feet. Even a touch of arrogance in him given his positions at time.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

We didn't make that easy.

If it wasn't for horrendous officiating again, Palace would have been down to 10.

Yeah but a decent keeper would have saved the goal no problem. We should have tested him far more we did, if we had could have it could have bean a rout. Ali Mac is currently a bit shit when shooting as is Welbeck.

 

[B-right-on]

Thought it was a great game. Both teams were up for it. We had that bit more quality but fair do's to Palarse, they gave it a go and took the game to us. Thought some of their closing down was better than ours.

Nervy as hell in the first 10 and last 15 mins and our spells of total control DeZerbiball were not upto our usual standards which sent RDZ into hissy fits which was hilarious to watch. He really does live the game.

In the end, deserved 3 points and giving SEGW a proper memory of us.

 

[Si Gull]

They came within a hairsbreadth of scoring about three times in the first three minutes due to some nightmarish defending

Yes, on another day we could have found ourselves two down early on. I should have said never looked like equalising....apart from the sub's poor miss, that is

 

[Oh_aye]

Yeah but a decent keeper would have saved the goal no problem.

I'd have to watch it again on the telly. Looked like a tidy finish from the Gods

 

[Bodian]

Really? Perfectly placed shot I thought.

 

[Triggaaar]

I feel like a 119 year old Chinese woman.

That's pretty niche, but you never know what you can find on dating sites.

 

[brighton_tom]

Really? Perfectly placed shot I thought.

Yeah I was right behind the shot, it was perfectly placed into the bottom corner, almost in off the post, and he hit it early not giving the keeper time to set himself. Some might save it, but certainly not all or most.

 

[Icy Gull]

Really? Perfectly placed shot I thought.

Watch the replay, you’d be gutted if we conceded it.

 

[Triggaaar]

Just a shame that Brentford won't piss off!

Tony has pleaded guilty to a crime which is punished by a few months out, but he is still playing - wtf is that all about. Oh, he may also be guilty of further crimes, and deserving of a longer ban, so he can still play. Yep, that makes total sense.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

You can't attach blame to the keeper. Solly smashed it low in the bottom corner.

Slow motion replays can make it look like anything can be saved

Brighton edge past Crystal Palace thanks to Solly March’s early strike

Brighton earned a comfortable 1-0 win over Crystal Palace after an early strike from Solly March

I hadn't realised this. Maybe have to disown him....?

"March spent two years in Palace’s youth academy between the ages of 11 and 13 "

 

[Rookie]

Played shite and yet won, football is a strange old game.
Fair play to their keeper, solid display and would never have guessed it was his debut

 

[Oh_aye]

Veltman was excellent at containing Zaha

He was brilliant. And went into snide mode early doors. Zaha looks finished to me. If they treble his wages or something they've gone mad. Looks like someone waiting for the Saudi retirement.

We wait and hope he gets a ban before our fixture.

It’s well known! Not many football academies for talented youngsters from Sussex to go to.

 

[portslade seagull]

Thought Mac was way below his best tonight and probably should've been pulled earlier.
