[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester United *** Official Match Thread ***

[Saunders]

Stonewall penalty...no issue with that. But 5 minutes added, sure add an extra minute for our celebration but that seemed harsh to let them take the corner.

so just kick a ball against a players hand two feet away and it is a pen ...flash backs to the womens world cup this is going to be a fun season

Robbed ****ing robbed

What should be being discussed is the ridiculous added time issue.

We scored with about 15 seconds left of the match. They are then permitted to carry out their attack on us which would have been galling enough had they scored from it. It goes off for a corner, no way should they have been allowed to take it.

Absolutely sickening.

Looks like Fergie time is alive and still working.

I just don't know what to say about that game. Gutted with the result, brilliant performance we now have a team to take on the premier league.

 

[Curious Orange]

Brilliant performance from the Albion. Dramatic finish, wrong result for the good guys.

 

[Stato]

Just watched back injury time. There definitely wasn't enough additional time left to take the corner. The ref has mugged us by doing the usual thing of never blowing the whistle when a team's on the attack. He should have blown before the corner was given. Cheated and not a word spoken in the coverage.

 

[Durlston]

thanks, i thought i had gone mad, sure i'd seen FT and yellow. what a effing fiasco.

FlashScore said it had finished too. F*ck football. Hopefully the coronavirus kills the season because I can't accept corruption in the people's sport.

Disgrace.

Yes you can go back. I’ve just had this conversation with my outraged teenaged son who I swear wanted to stove in the telly

But couldn't, because you'd already launched it out the window?

No one would blame you.

Referee is a disgrace. Big 6 ref all the way. Why did he play on for 2 more minutes after the equaliser. Shouldn’t have let the corner be taken. He knew it and that’s why he blew after March’s clearance.

 

[Mackenzie]

Gutted.

 

[Saunders]

The game is bent and corrupt. Anyway, safe flight home, United.

I hope that doesnt mean what i think it means

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Yopu just know that Palace are going to win again with 30% possession don't you?

 

[Billy the Fish]

You can't put your arms out like that in the box. It's a handball, simple as that.

It's f**king sickening but we have to be realistic. It was a great performance let down by defensive mistakes. I wouldn't even say it was poor finishing that let us down, when you that hit the woodwork it's an inch away from a great finish - at this level you usually need it in the postage stamp to beat the keeper.

 

[Icy Gull]

Gutted, the ref needs investigating

How did the game get to 97 mins when there was 5 mins of added time?

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

Kavanagh epitomises why I am falling out of love with football.

I actually wish Man Utd would fvck off and create their super league.

 

[sydney]

chris kavanagh ....from MANCHESTER ...........so for a game of us v them they couldn't find a ref that wasn't from manchester ......this needs some serious looking at chaps , this is just WRONG.

This this this.

And why is BT not even mentioning this? Utter cheats.

 

[willalbion]

and this from the Guardian - I’ve just watched the build-up to United’s winner again. It’s hard to be sure without a slow-motion replay, but it looks like the ball was out of play before van de Beek won the corner.

 

[hitony]

Well that was pretty intense.

My wife said exactly that!!
