thanks as always Miffy
That was not a corner though I can really blame the ref or lino on that one

I watched the same NSBC coverage, I thought the lino got the shout right.

Europe to Brighton is easy and September is in the football season.
Not a long shot at all.
Well I'll be in Greece, and it's for my mother's wedding, so between the distance, the commitments to what I'm there for, and seeing family and friends I won't have seen for half a decade, my time will be pretty tight! Couple that with the fact I have most of my work as a soccer coach during that time, I might have to rush home! I'm hoping I end up maybe transferring through London and taking a couple nights, if possible.

They showed another angle where it looked a lot clearer that March never touched it, not that it looks like he did on the above GIF.

I have watched it about a 100 times and not sure it is at all. No qualms at all about the decision tough call which could have gone either way

Do me a favour.
I lived up here for three years. I know the difference between someone who has moved down South (or North) and someone from Surrey who uses the excuse of "I've always supported them" and bagged a ticket "because it's only Brighton".

Seriously
I know at least 5 people who live in the area and have always supported manu and go and watch them every week....three of them were born in brighton. WTF does it matter where you live to who you support. It's all this bollox about you must support the team where you were born. It's horseshit. You support who the hell you want and good luck to them.

Well, some might say that the clue is in the fact that most football clubs' names include a city, town or area. Which sort of suggests that geography matters, unless you're Arsenal.

You’re obviously a very unique case and are trying a wind up because of it. If someone was born in Brighton and decided to support hudds then there would be no problem from me. However, the amount of people who grew up in Huddersfield who support brighton and conversely the amount of people who grew up in Sussex who support Huddersfield probably wouldn’t exceed double digits.
You’ll find there are thousands and thousands resident in both places who support one of the top six clubs. That is being a plastic fan, even if they spend obscene money actually attending home games, by wanting to be associated with success, more than just simple geography.

Well I understand now your sensitivity to the issue as you expose your "true" colours and desire for acceptance.
But I was obviously talking about glory hunting fans, the same ones who seemingly universally supported Liverpool when I was at school in the 70s in Sussex.

No it's not as that's where you get the passion from and being proud of your roots.Seriously
If you support a northern club you have zero relevance too then it's because you supported them from school because they was big and trendy or it's better for your image etc.
I find southerners who support northern clubs the worst of the bunch and I bet the northerners actually cringe at these idiots

I know someone who got taken to see Utd by their dad in London when Best, Law and Charlton were playing and fell in love with them there and then. Nigh on 50 years on they still feel the same about them and have held a season ticket for as long as I can remember.
I grant you it’s easier to do that when your team is successful.

As regards the actual game I would like to have seen Kayal come on for Gross and Propper pushed forward into the role he plays for Netherlands as we didnt look like we were ever going to score an equaliser.
