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

Tread on another player’s foot, deliberate or not = a foul, whether it be in the centre circle or box.

Spot on, if it had been in the centre circle it would have deffo been given

Tread on another player’s foot, deliberate or not = a foul, whether it be in the centre circle or box.

I would check the rule book if I was you - but if it is an accidental coming together as both players chase the ball (and are looking at the ball) - then it is not a foul - in fact how could it be a foul?

That was never a penalty - it changed the game - and those three points might be crucial at the end of the season (for both teams).

Refs make mistakes - they should be let referee the game - the decisions always balance out over a season.

VAR is a disaster and is all about money - not football.

Spot on, if it had been in the centre circle it would have deffo been given

No it wouldn't - and none of the players expected it to be given - they all kept going without any complaints.

Everton boss Marco Silva, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "If VAR saw something in our box, why didn't it see 15 minutes earlier the penalty for Richarlison."

Because Marco, Richarlison was going down more often than a whores knickers and there was no penalty to give in that case you clown.

We're going down. Get used to it. We can't defend but oh so pretty!

Brighton’s play must look different overseas?

1. Loved Maupay’s pen straight down the middle. Then he had words with the **** who’d tried to put him off, whilst the Everton players were bullying the ref.

2. Trossard’s cross was perfection. If Digne hadn’t got a touch, Muzza was waiting unmarked to tuck it away.

"Sometimes you have to get wrong decisions given your way" doesn't necessarily have to apply only to today - however, getting that penalty (which was certainly not clear and obvious) through VAR fits the bill.

After seeing var, it seems it was clear and obvious. I don't necessarily agree with it my self though. I'm happy to accept var on this occasion especially as that is the rules.

I've seen some rubbish on NSC over the years... but this takes the cake [emoji23]

Thought Alzate was close to MOTM for me. He must have been watching another player and got them mixed up

 

[Dick Head]

Different game once Schellotto came on. Trossard did OK too.

Schellotto's one of my favourites.

Superb, win against Norwich and we are sitting pretty.

Dangerous talk !

 

[ferring seagull]

First touch was to lose possession right on the corner line.
This player is truly awful and how he’s managed to get game time is beyond belief

It's a not uncommon thing for managers to do - easier to punt if he can be shown to have played for the first team in the current season

First game I've managed to see live this season. Don't think I witnessed the best of Potter's new era. Everton were on top for most of the game and must go home feeling very unlucky. Alarmed to see the risky passing deep in our own box by Ryan and defenders. Ryan is a great keeper, mind. What was different was our intensity in the last 15 mins. We weren't hanging on, we were going for it, and ultimately the luck went our way for a change. Alzate looks class. Murray and Trossard both added something when they came on. I'd like to see us be more incisive and quick in attack. But hey we won and ought to be comfortably mid table this season I reckon.

Classic English footy match in the rain really. All got a bit nuts near the end when they were all drenched and sliding about.

Nah this is a classic English match in the rain, can you imagine them playing on a pitch like that now, let alone needing an orange ball?

FFS shut up. We are 10 games and putting in some excellent performances, even if we had lost today, we are far from being relegation material.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Thought a few screen caps might be in order. Not sure what possesses someone to celebrate an injury time winner by getting their phone out but hey.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

And one that sums up football in one scene.

So what do you folks think about us playing 442, with Gross on the right, as we did in the first half at home to Newcastle last season?

Although we won this one, we didn't play as well as we have in most of our other games.

Fratton Park 1950s at the START of the game!!
I played on that pitch(against Pompey U18s) in the 50s when it was just like that.
