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

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

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?
