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

[Icy Gull]

In amongst the angst and the anger, I forgot to say just how proud I am to be an Albion fan. That was an immense performance when you consider that luck and the ref were against us. Well done lads, what a performance

Cheer up Palace are losing

Would like to 2nd that. That's probably one of the best games we have had in the PL. Just keep that up

I feel my mood lifting a little already

Why is nobody talking about the aftertime penalty on radio 5? Is it because it didn't happen?

Not sure if mentioned by Lamptey didn't have a sniff today. Dare I say it, the former fat left wing back at United appeared to have him in his pocket.

Time to move on, I suspect. Onwards and upwards.

do you mean the diving , cheating , fat , former left wing back ...?? you kn ow , the **** ...?? that one ?? that is a hard result to take mate , i have lost all respect for utd and kavanagh ...prrft well if his lexus meets an immovable object at high speed on the way home , so be it....bent ****.

Has anybody seen the alleged Van Der beek pass being over line before cross? Would be intetested to know anyones perspective on that too?

There's a few people talking about it on Twitter e.g.https://twitter.com/JoeBrazier8/status/1309853632683220994?s=09

 

[R. Slicker]

Fair decision.

No different to the freekick Utd got for their 1st equaliser.

This should take the edge off a very, very disappointing afternoon. Now if mr tumble was to be sent off, it's beer and chinese tonight!

That's out.

Ref from Manchester cheated adding loads of unwarranted time, line officials missed ball being out before cross. Ref restarts a game he's officially ended (potential rule breach). And we should all happy clap a wonderfully close affair and not challenge it?

It finishes when the ref blows his whistle doesn’t it. You need to defend the last corner and we get a draw but we leave Maupay on Maguire.?? Make all the excuses you like!

The ref blew his whistle and then restarted the game, so that’s not right.

I have news and its not good....

 

[Wellesley]

Very painful, but I love our team even more after that. I have never seen, and never thought I would see, an Albion team that could perform like this one. So proud.

 

[Guinness Boy]

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

No one would blame you.

I wasn't far off. That's ****ed me off more than a 5-0 defeat.

What would have happened if Brighton players ran straight off the pitch and into the locker room the moment they heard the "first" final whistle

Depends if the ref was still on the pitch - that seems to be the key factor.

 

[peterward]

If the ref thinks he can give a pen after a corner based on VAR after final whistle. Surely the FA can rule out the corner that was over the line based on VAR. Both VARS are after match was ended? I bloody hope we appeal this, and don't back down.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

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.

Goals Alert sent me a notification to say the game was finished too.

Whilst I’m having a good old moan, their second goal shouldn’t have stood, as McGuire kicked Dunk’s ankle onto the ball, decking him and nudging the ball over the line. If that had been the other way round, it would have been disallowed.

You missed the 83 cup final then? We played Utd then too

VAR isnt used for incorrectly given corners

Maybe we will. Maybe we won't. I'm guessing we won't. There's no way the PL will ever take any action because they won't change a result after it has been lodged. No way.
