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

[Alex BH]

Was Jack’s shot going wide before it was deflected in? Maybe he should’ve had that goal?

Maybe he'll be happy with an assist?

 

[WATFORD zero]

Has there been a 'tunnel/changing room video' of the players coming off yet ?

 

[m20gull]

Yeah maybe.
Don't agree with straight red for Rutter, that would have been a travesty imv. Booking for Pedro though, absolutely. I HATE that in his game, and a reason, despite his quality, I won't be all that upset if he gets sold this summer.

I'm not going to blame Pedro entirely. The coaching team need to have very strong words with him. It's a thoroughly irritating feature of the game generally but Pedro in particular and I would have no problem with the FA enforcing retrospectively.

Just watched MOTD again on i-Player - Mitoma's 'goal'............. looks like a perfect example of a 50/50 ball to me. Of course Mitoma had a right to follow it in, IMHO. Oh well, some bright sparks keep changing and re-defining the rules, just have to live with it.
''It is what it shouldn't be,'' perhaps.

In my opinion it takes a lot of originality and smarts to use the defender to score a goal for you.

If the keeper has weak hands in that moment I can’t see why it’s disallowed. He pushes it onto Mitoma’s arm. I still think the result would have been a draw just wondering why keepers get so much protection.

It was - did you not see the thread?

Nope, been very busy

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

First time I've listened to the club site commentary for ages.

Who is Estupian?

Four of our Irish seagulls met Johnny and Warren outside the ground pre-match - I do wish I’d asked him for you H

 

[Bob!]

Totally agree. The best atmosphere at an away game this season for me. The left/right Brighton boys chants had me chuckling for a good while.

I was top tier ( right side, of course).
Was the chant across all three tiers?

Because it can be exquisitely dangerous.

On 5 September 1931, Celtic were playing their Old Firm rivals Rangers at Ibrox Park in Glasgow in front of 80,000. Early in the second half Thomson and a Rangers player, Sam English, went for the ball at the same time. Thomson's head collided with English's knee, fracturing his skull and rupturing an artery in his right temple. Thomson was taken off the field in a stretcher; most people assumed that he was just badly concussed, but a few people who had seen his injuries suspected worse. One source said, "There were gasps in the main stand, a single piercing scream being heard from a horrified young woman"; this was believed to be the scream of 19-year-old Margaret Finlay, who was watching with Jim Thomson (brother of John). One Rangers player, also a medical student, said later that as soon as he saw him he gave little chance for his survival, this was also the view of the Celtic team doctor.

After having treatment from the St Andrew's Ambulance Association, he was taken to a stretcher. According to The Scotsman, he was "seen to rise on the stretcher and look towards the goal and the spot where the accident happened". The game ended 0–0. Thomson was taken to the Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow. He had a lacerated wound over the right parietal bones of the skull, causing a depression in his skull 2 in (5 cm) in diameter. At 5:00 pm he suffered a major convulsion. Dr Norman Davidson carried out an emergency operation to try to lower the amount of pressure caused by the swelling brain, but the operation was unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead by 9.25 pm.

It was definitely in ours(middle tier) and we(left side) were clear winners
