[Albion] City fans reaction

[Greg Bobkin]

What utter tosh.
Genuinely, the game didn’t matter to us - everyone loses games. Not being injured was the primary goal.
It says more that some here are spending soooo much time on the City forums, suggesting doubt. X10 men for x80 mins away from home and against dubious officiating ................awaiting the investigation into the betting irregularities now being investigated into Bloom and Atwell in Brighton’s last five games. Let’s see how cocky you are then

You realise the irony of this comment, right?

Talk of irregularities and investigation is absolutely, to put it bluntly, bat-shit crazy. The club has been in the bottom half of the league all season – flirting dangerously close to the relegation zone at times – and NO-ONE has had any evidence to even think that there might be foul play at work to get positive Brighton results. But now – at the point that we're safe in the PL for another season – we decide to play some dirty tricks? For what reason? To get one over on the Champions? Do me a favour!

Those decisions – like many over the course of a season – could've gone either way. Cancelo KNEW he was at risk of getting sent off when he made contact with Wellbeck. Just as Dunk did when he wiped out a Wolves player a couple of weeks ago. The penalty shouts (for both teams) fall very much into the 'I've seen them given' category, likewise the AJ tackle.

Bearing all that in mind, I'm not quite sure why *some* City fans have gone off on one so much. Is it because they are used to those decisions going for them? Is it because it is a #TeamLikeBrighton? Or is it because you think you have a right to not lose any game? What was the reaction of those same fans in your other defeats against 'lesser' sides this season, like Spurs and Leeds? We've beaten both of those this season too, if that makes any difference?

I read your response with interest and hoped I could have a sensible adult conversation, but the more I read here the more I realise the moron count here is unusually high. Lashing out with inane keyboard warrior soundbites.
I’m not responsible for what morons write on City forums - most of whom I’ll never have met.
I take your point on the potential of Jesus and fernandhino possibly getting reds - but genuinely, if you get to watch the game back, see the niggling petulant kicks they endured and other players were on the receiving end of, with no protection whatsoever from the ref. They’d just had enough and, like us fans, couldn’t understand why it was extreme - it was like playing a pullis/allardyce/Warnock team. Hoped we’d seen the back of that tbh, and potter seemed to encourage his team to play a more attractive style based on the Pep way. Sadly not.
Not asking for special treatment- and we’ll certainly be ready next season (on and off the field). Hopefully, when we return the compliment on BHA next season- it will be the match that relegates you - especially when Potter runs out on you to Spurs, and Bloom is behind bars..........
It’s not long ago that I, like most, was following City (home and away) in the third division - isn’t it strange how fans of other teams look has hard as they can to find fault with another club when they’re successful - it’s called jealousy and is corrosive. You have a ‘dodgy’ sugar daddy- he’s just not as rich as ours. Ask Sunderland fans about their new owners as they sail past your club in the near future. Liverpool were a 2nd Div club no one had heard of until littlewoods pools empire bought them success in the 60’s.
So, stop whining, City are not your competition at the moment so enjoy being able to watch how they play and dream it might happen to your club. Sort your own affairs out and keep trying to play the game properly - don’t become cloggers.......

ok mate

I’m actually one of the few who found KillerWhale and his Latin-infused ramblings entertaining [emoji106]

I found him entertaining for the most part. I seem to recall that most of his more obnoxiously "Leeds/Bielsa are great, Brighton are shit, I'm really looking forward to us playing you [he he he]" type posts were on Friday evenings, and I assume he was plastered.

Strong views on watches as well, it's nice to see the visitors contribute to the wider conversation.

 

[A mex eyecan]

There is only one genuine moron posting on this thread

We’ll “get you” next season
Hope we relegate you
Bloom behind bars
Potter is going to Spurs
We are jealous of City
Sunderland will “sail past Albion” in the near future
Albion playing like a Pulis/Allardyce/Warnock team


What an absolute cock and village idiot

you are being out of order here, why insult village idiots everywhere comparing them to this very angry deluded person

He was - at first. But the pompous idiot (rather like the one we've fished out at the moment) didn't know when to stop, and ultimately did what the oozlum bird is reputed to do so well.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I am beginning to think that Any1aBlue is just a troll doing some excellent fishing. No way he/she/it can be a genuine City fan and come up with such garbage.

[lawros left foot]

That's right. Start classy.



And yet you are echoing the same opinions as them.



I have watched it back. I suggest that you do too, because you are imagining things. There wasn't petulance or niggling. Things were competitive, but I wouldn't even use the old term 'robust'. The myth that you were kicked off the park is based on nothing more than a perception of unfairness because AJ wasn't sent off for his striker's tackle on Gundogan. By the way, Gundogan having been hurt in a coming together with Lallana was substituted, and upon leaving the pitch, acknowledged, in a friendly manner, Lallana's obvious disappointment for a fellow pro.

Once you have watched it back, perhaps you'd also find the time to find the stats from any game you have played against a Pulis/Allardyce/Warnock team where they (1) Scored three times against you, (2) Had over twice the number of shots and more shots on target than you, and (3) Had two thirds of the game's possession. Then you can return and make that comparison seriously, rather than as a knowingly false childish insult.



There is that conspiracy theory nonsense and the besmirching of the name of a man we all know to be decent and fair. You let yourself down.



We have no jealousy here. To paraphrase Ronnie Corbett in 'The Frost Report' We know our place. We have been in the bottom two tiers for most of our existence and we know that the great run we are having is likely to end at any time, just like Bournemouth's did last year. Our owner is a lifelong fan whose family have been directors of the club before him. He has made his billions through gambling and property, using his genius for mathematics. We may all have qualms about the gambling industry, but Starlizard are not bookmakers, they are punters. The business is all about stats and looking for advantages. No more 'dodgy' than what any of us might do before a day at the races.



No, of course we are not seriously competing for league titles and Europe, but if you think that fans further down the pyramid love football because they like watching the big boys' fabulous skills on television, you have learned nothing in your multiple decades of visiting away grounds. It has very little to do with elite players or style. It's about community, its about shared aims and bringing people from a locality together. When we were in this division playing the pragmatic football of CH, we were Brighton. When we were eleven points adrift at the foot of the football league, we were Brighton. When real 'dodgy' owners left us homeless, we were Brighton. When we fought all comers for a decade to ensure that we could have a permanent home in the city, we were Brighton. When we lost repeated heartbreaking play off semis, we were Brighton. Whether our team are a bunch of cloggers, or the progressive and adventurous mob that you, if you are being honest, know us to be, we are Brighton. That's all we will ever be and all we ever want to be. If any of us felt differently, we could have chosen to follow you, or one of your peers on the telly. Our affairs are very much sorted thanks. To quote a poem close to a lot of our hearts, Attila the Stockbroker's 'Goldstone Ghosts':

"And one day, when our new home’s built, and we are storming back
A bunch of happy fans without a care
We¹ll look back on our darkest hour and raise our glasses high
and say with satisfaction: we were there."

We are exactly that bunch of happy fans and by god how we've earned these little victories. If you have no respect for us enjoying what we've earned, and just want to come on here and devalue them, I suggest that you just leave and don't come back.

Excellent post.

Ask Sunderland fans about their new owners as they sail past your club in the near future.

Were Sunderland your team before City got loads of money and started winning things?

Whats it like being the small club in your City that can't even sell out the ground?

It has made you bitter!

 

[drew]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but your first comment that I have put in bold, sounds like some bizarre threat of violence that the Always Ultras would write? Are you in your 60's or early teens?

The second part I have put in bold is alluding to the astonishing claim of the game being fixed. I don't think Potter would have been quite so excited when we scored our first goal against you, if that were the case. We understand that Pep was unhappy about Potters over exuberance, so he apologised for upsetting him.

The third part I have put in bold must be you trying to be ironic? This thread is about your fellow supporters reaction about losing to #TeamsLikeBrighton. There is no whining, winning yes, whining no, your point makes no sense?

I appreciate that it's POETS day and that you are unsettled by your loss but it's a bit early to be drowning your sorrows isn't it? For you to write that load of drivel you must have had a few, or as someone said above, be on drugs. Please keep your sensible adult comments coming so we can learn from you.

Niggling fouls! You mean the sort of tactical foul that City are renowed for, presumably a tactic they are instructed to do by their coach!

 

[portslade seagull]

In the last 10-15 mins of the game some of the tackles and antics of the City players had me thinking that they could've had another red. They were all losing it due to the fact the little ole Brighton had the temerity and front to actually be winning. Even the lino tried his best to rectify this by stopping the ball and quickly kicking it back to Shitty to allow a quick throw in. After which Sanchez was booked for time wasting although Edinsons time wasting probably accrued to about 5mins overall

[Baldseagull]

If there was anything in this game for them, I might understand it, but it's nuts how upset they are at this. I saw one who was most pissed off that it had ruined their "stats". Before 2008, they were much like we are now, and getting a win over a "Big Four" club was a rare joy. I suspect most know it and are not bothered, but a few 20 somethings with no memory of being outside the Prem, or being one of the strugglers are making a lot of fuss on the interweb.

(albion) city fans reaction

As an Brighton fan with family in Sunderland I think they would find your comment about Sunderland passing us very soon totally hilarious they have been stuck in the lower leagues for some while now,a place I seem to remember that city were at the turn of the millennium

As for your comments about Tony Bloom he is a very big benefactor to both the club and the community who was the first to suggest 1000 plus tickets be given to nhs workers at the beginning of covid at the time only Bournemouth followed

Now take your shock defeat and stop being a Billy big b----cks as one famous Norwegian comment once said your team took a hell of a beating

 

[Wardy's twin]

Any guesses if this guy’s even from Manchester?

greater Manchester - probably Devon

 

[vagabond]

This is getting to Leeds levels delusion.

He seems like a really great guy.

Up until kick-off, I wasn't too arsed about last nights game, the tittle was won, Brighton play decent football normally and they were safe, just an end of season game with nothing to play for, get a few minutes in the legs and most importantly no injuries, and for Brighton fans to get a chance to see their team in the flesh.
Come full time, I was friggin fewming, I don't mind getting beat, being of a certain age you could say I'm used to it. That bellend of a referee should be investigated, and I'm being deadly serious when I say investigated, that was one of the most blatant cases of cheating I have witnessed from an official and believe me I've seen plenty. He was helped and assisted by the slug John moss who has form and history with his decisions against us.
Never a red card, no foul on bernie when running through, clear red on gundo but according to Walton it wasn't coz his leg was bent, not as bent as him but bent all the same, they were given carte blanche to do whatever they wanted knowing they were immune from any form of punishment.
I quite liked Potter before yesterday but it turns out he's just a slimmed down fat Sam, as for there small time fans, I hope they get a massive dose of cat aids and there shitty nothing club sinks back into the lower leagues where they deserve to be.

What you mean the sort of "coming together" that absolutely stops a player from getting away from you, but you can argue isn't a yellow/red card offence?
That type of tactical foul?

Yeah they do make a few of those don't they?

 

[RandyWanger]

Noel's already forgiven us.

If Brighton play half as well as they did against us on Tuesday, and score first, they will win - because those Arsenal fans will be gagging to boo that team off the pitch. I'm going for Brighton to win easily, if only to make AFTV a must-watch the next day. 0-3 (to BHA)

 

[Bodian]

Having read some of that forum now, I think I've worked out what they mean by 'kicking us off the park'. What they mean is 'tackled us and won the ball, so stopped us having our normal levels of possession'.

Back to the 70s/80s with you......

Oh we beat you then as well......... thanks for Michael Robinson
