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

[maltaseagull]

Fulham look the better team atm the picture is 100x better quality on ITV than BBC too!

Maguire picked for England ahead of Dunk. Looking out of his depth against Fulham.

 

[The Fits]

Ferguson is outrageous. No need to be cautious now. The guy already looks as good as a Murray or Welbeck and he is EIGHTEEN.

Bit of a masterclass really

Brighton striker Evan Ferguson to BBC One: "It's what we were looking for. We obviously wanted to go to Wembley so we had to get to the semi-finals. It wasn’t an easy game because you have to break down teams like that who sit off."

On his first goal: "It was more an instinct, it just came to me and I tried to swivel around and get the best shot off. I was lucky it went in."

On enjoying his football this season: "It's been unbelievable, playing in my first season here. Credit to the lads, they've been good to me and have encouraged me when I've played."

On whether Brighton can continue making this season special: "I think so. We’ve got the hope and the desire to get to Europe so that’s our ambition and if we can keep on going and winning games we could get there."

not only great for Evan and great for us to have such a young goalscoring talent, but its also a great advertisement of the club to other potential young hotshots.... come to Brighton and you'll get your chance.

A real shame and have been on their board and they're all giving it 'just a bit of paper'. There was tons of stuff landing on the pitch and one hit Gross as he was coming into the area. Proper small-time bellendery. Same with the highly predictable 'you're support is fùcking shìt' and 'is this a library' nonsense. I'm going to be charitable and say its incongruous with every Grimsby fan in met who were all totally sound so we'll have to blame it on what was likely 24 hours of drinking for most of them.

Did you have BBC1 on instead of BBC1 HD?

 

[Springal]

Was a bit of bellendary in Lewes before the game apparently, not with Brighton just dickhead behaviour / aggro amongst themselves. Hope they had a good weekend though and nice boost to the local economy

 

[banjo]

Highlights.

 

[Oh_aye]

Only a very small cameo but I like the look of AyarI.

Definitely. Really encouraging. Thought he was a deep playmaker but looked very mobile and box to boxey

No I had it on HD. I think BBC is known for being pretty poor quality, even MOTD is bad. You just don't notice it until you switch from one to the other.

So (and apologies if this has been discussed - cant be bothered to look), if Sanchez handball was given (and it was very close), would he have walked? or just a free kick, as obviously it would have been accidental?

Would have been a straight red. Who knows if it was or wasn't, all immaterial now anyway!

 

[Dick Head]

Au contraire mon ami, we're won

i new wierd win

Do you pay for VPN?
I have a set top box which used to let me watch live UK tv but now I can only get ITV or C4.

 

[Motogull]

Should have been more than 5 but we never got our of fist gear.

Looked like no injuries, so a decent training session.

 

[Invicta]

A nice comfortable win, professionally done. We owe Utd one at Wembley!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Definitely. Really encouraging. Thought he was a deep playmaker but looked very mobile and box to boxey

Yeah agreed. I watched closely when he came on as not seen him before and he made some really clever, well timed runs forward. Also seemed very confident and comfortable on the ball.

Ideal game and time to bring him on.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

RDZ means it when he says he can’t take Mitoma off doesn’t he?!

In no way a criticism but I was a bit suprised March, Caicedo, Gross and Mitoma played all game, especially as Caicedo and March both appeared to get knocks.

Caicedo seemed to take a few knocks I thought. Maybe the physio thought he should run it off instead of sit for an hour and let it settle
