[Albion] Leeds united vs Brighton and Hove Albion ****Official match thread****

[RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased)]

That game sounded like that scene in the damned united, were Leeds booted Derby all over the pitch just before there euro cup final. What's his face for Leeds sneers "good luck in the final" knowing their players were crocked

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I'm almost crying, I am so proud.

 

[jimhigham]

Give all the physio staff a pay rise. Want them well motivated and happy the next couple of weeks.

 

[Blackadder]

Quick edit required

Done. Ta. I haven't even been drinking.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Denying a goal scoring opportunity I think. One game ban.

Thanks.

Just a 1 game ban hopefully!

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I am crying.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Some mad games today. Emmerson Boyce scored an equalising own goal to, potentially, consign Wigan to be relegated.

 

[fleet]

Can't get over what happened today - game was all over after 15 mins, and then all that happened!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Done. Ta. I haven't even been drinking.

Happy Days!

[BBassic]

Time for a rum!

 

[Marxo]

Diouf sent off for rubbing his balls at the Albion fans

The FA will have to consider Barnes' ban again to see how many games to give the spitter.

 

[jimhigham]

There with a game to go. Who would have thought it. Next week should be fun.

Then the heartache starts all over again.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

I dont think this is true

 

[TexasGull]

If you watched Brighton defeat Leeds and your erection lasts longer than four hours, call a doctor.

 

[Triggaaar]

every chance Palace could lose to Millwall and Peterborough - interesting days ahead and all we need to worry about is whether we play the first leg home or away.

I'm more worried about whether our players are fit. We're already missing CMS and Hoskins, let's not have more on that list.

 

[Titus]

I just read through the Palace game thread on the BBS. There are more comments on our game than theirs. And they say we mean nothing to them.

 

[fleet]

I'm more worried about whether our players are fit. We're already missing CMS and Hoskins, let's not have more on that list.

True - we can rest players for Wolves but the play offs are not that far away, need people fit for them

Straight red = 3 game ban, doesn't it??

That will only be a one game ban won't it?

Spitty sent off.

This has been covered several times this season

http://www.thefa.com/~/media/Files/TheFAPortal/governance-docs/rules-of-the-association/section-a---field-offences-in-first-team-matches.ashx

Hand ball or denying goal scoring opportunity - 1 game ban
Foul or abusive language (including gestures) - 2 game ban
Violent conduct, serious foul play, spitting - 3 game ban

Only for violent conduct, it should only be 1 for a professional foul.

If the foul is bad enough to get sent off for, it is "seriously foul play" (which is a three game ban). "Violent conduct" is for incident that take place away from the ball. But that's just pedantry (I know you were just saying this incident was for denying a goal scoring opportunity, so is a one game ban, I'm just clarifying the difference between 'violent conduct' and 'serious foul play' because I had already multi-quoted, and if I didn't include this, it would pop up any time I reply to this thread later).



"Not often we get 5 minutes injury time"? We've had 5 or more minutes second half injury time 13 times this season (12x 5mins, 1x 6mins).

Was I the only one confused with the injuries, I couldn't tell who was hurt. Variously I thought it was Vicente, Ulloa, Diouf, Orlandi, Barnes, Dicker, Greer, Bruno

Confusing with the red card, I thought Upson had been sent off.
