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

He has but he sure looks young

He does but looking young does not a poor player make. We haven’t tried him enough. We got better as the half goes on but it was objectively a poor half for our standards

 

[um bongo molongo]

The sort of decision where you think the only explanation is bribery, because surely no one can be THAT incompetent

 

[Gabbiano]

I another goal please for the Seagulls. Don’t want a repeat of Selhurst…

 

[jcdenton08]

Poor keeping for our goal IMO.

Disagree. I thought it was an excellent strike.

 

[Eric the meek]

Not the best half, but not bad, I’m at the Amex, and that 1st half went flying by for me. We normally do better in the 2nd half so here’s to more goals for the good guys!

Very astute observation.
For me, it's due to RDZ analysing the first half play and making the necessary adjustments.

 

[birthofanorange]

At least we now know who's going to score the winner.

Solly, of course.

I think it’s that he doesn’t want to give a red card. It was a bad decision.

 

[Weststander]

Funnily enough, I think we can only improve second half, Gross & Dunk giving the ball away, 2 silly freekicks outside our box.

I’m hoping RDZ is demanding more precision right now.

They’re there for a 3-0 loss.

Disagree. I thought it was an excellent strike.

It was, doesn't mean that the keeper shouldn't have done better with it.

 

[Seagull58]

It has to be bias from the ref. Incompetence doesn't explain ignoring 2 yellow card offences.

 

[Munchkin]

For the supposedly ‘best league in the world’ the level of officiating is an embarrassment.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Whatever else you do, don't let it bounce.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Energumene toyed with the opposition this afternoon with a steady start before storming home to a massive win. Something similar this evening will suffice.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

It's March 15th and our March scored in the 15th minute..lol

Can't wait for half past Mitoma!

 

[birthofanorange]

I think it’s that he doesn’t want to give a red card. It was a bad decision.

Twice? Really? After the initial yellow? Well dodgy....

 

[jcdenton08]

I have seen it quite a few times and I don’t agree but respect your opinion.

 

[Stephen Seagull]

They’ll sub him now and the sub will play a blinder against us. They wont risk him getting another yellow.

By not making the necessary decision the ref has now influenced the course of the game

 

[Bodian]

I think it’s that he doesn’t want to give a red card. It was a bad decision.

Yes - but he had a chance to put it right straight after!

 

[brightn'ove]

decisions going against us? Well I never. Corrupt.

 

[jcdenton08]

I personally think it’s spineless rather than “dodgy” implying dishonesty. It was a second yellow clear as day, but he bottled it on his own without interference.
