Banned for being an away fan spamming the BB with BS - has always been the standard we've applied, afaik.
Albion fans have always had a lot more slack - they're one of us.
On the bear pit - you're in a substantial minority (3:1 for it, last time I looked). Doesn't make you wrong, of course - just in a substantial minority.
So if someone was a racist, homophobe on Facebook, or Twitter or another social media outlet, but came on here and was all sweetness and light then that would be acceptable?
Plus, evidence or not, I'd have a bet with anyone on here that he's correct and not taking BS, that Ben White does want to be transferred to Leeds.
TBF, that Russell Dog feller seems to be one of the few Leeds fans with an understanding of reality.They are not letting it go, still very bitter on wacko

I’d want us to do the same.
No they do not.
They have a contract with him. What you are really seeing is blatant exploitation, as it is not trendy and too much of an arse to think it through-it is ignored.......................

In this warped age of wannabes minority persecution there are many forms of downright exploitation-- this is one case. Brighton is not a ****ing plantation. Bielsa did improve Ben White beyond all recognition- not Brighton. And far more important who should enjoy that improvement are White and Leeds United. The fact that White is behaving like an upper class Uncle Tom is his business. The fact we improved a product without protecting ourselves is ours fault.
But, nothing changes the fact that this apprenticeship is modified slavery. That was no slip of the tongue you made, RD. And Brighton are a bunch of classless jumped up wankers who got lucky.
No hint of irony that her name is Karen...
Banned for being repetitive? I think you could kick off half of the board then. People aren't banned for constantly saying Stephens only passes sideways and backwards, despite the evidence that this isn't true.
This and the bear pit, NSC has got to 'effin precious.

This is a young man, like so many others, who want to earn and learn a trade. If he were sent out as trainee at the expense of his firm then he signs a reasonable contract. If he is offered another contract, he is free to go -with agreed compensation as part of the contract. To set absurd conditions is usury and slavery at one. That twats like Chelsea and Brighton go in for full time exploitation does not make them owners.

( And, no, this is not personal. Even if I have an extreme view, it does not negate my right to have it or express it. Nor does it negates anyone's obligation not to be personal and insulting)

Do I have to repost my epic text on the matter for a third time? Took me ages to write
Here's the highlights I think my full post is worth a read though, which argues what we all know, why we are sure he will ultimately find Brighton an even better place to be. https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showthread.php?381368-Deluded-Leeds-fans/page84
I think White would be delighted to go. Not saying he wouldn't be excited to stay either, he will be in the premier league regardless, but if he really had a choice....?
Look at the evidence. He's loved by their fans, the players, the manager. He's been an integral part of their most successful season in almost two decades, playing every minute and named man of the match on numerous occasions. He knows he would be 100% on the pitch first game next season, and like all footballers he will want to play. He knows Leeds style of play, he knows that he perfectly fits their style of play, he knows his teammates and how they play. Bielsa IS a top coach, and he knows he'll be in good hands there. He is more suited to succeed instantly at Leeds. If his ambition is to go all the way to the top, the quickest route is through Leeds.
At Brighton he doesn't (yet) know these things. They're are far more uncertainties at Brighton than Leeds. He probably won't be in the starting eleven for the first game of the season and will have to fight for a chance, and he has to learn our style and where he fits.
But most of all, I don't think the reason why he would want to go has anything to do with whether the fans are better or the clubs history better or the setup better or the manager better. He would want to go simply because he's just had the best year of his life and why would anyone in that position want to change that? Just human nature. If you're enjoying yourself, stay on that ride as long as you can.

Please explain why Ben bought a house worth over £900K within a week of the Championship finishing, in Worthing.
It takes a few weeks to complete a house purchase even if you’re a cash buyer so it wasn’t a spur of the moment decision, thinking Oh dear, Brighton aren’t going to let me go, after all.
He also went on holiday with Aaron Connolly exactly the same as he did last year,so obviously has friendship ties here as well.
Of course he enjoyed the success at Leeds, in the same way he enjoyed his success at Newport County. It’s easy to find photos of both where he looks equally as delighted.
Why did he buy a house here? Because he's a Brighton player and staying at Brighton this season, and he's known that for a long time. Doesn't change the point that I think he would have welcomed being sold to Leeds (and doesn't change the point that I am sure he will be 100% committed to Brighton. Seems he has the right character and temperament to be in huge demand and tipped for England)
Property is a good investment for a soon to be multi millionaire though. How many 22 year olds buy houses for 900k? Different world has he sold his place oop North?
