[Albion] Marseille fans

[TomandJerry]

Apparently an elderly lady was pushed over before the game

Glad to see people standing on the wall of the pitch for 90 mins with a megaphone is allowed. Not to mention Marseille fans rocking up in shirts and scarfs in the west stand.

Hope they are still in the ground.

Not sure we have much to moan about when loads of Brighton fans were dotted around the Ajax stadium

Yeah, I was one, but I didn’t commit the heinous crime of standing on a four foot high wall (won’t someone think of the children)

I once saw a guy carrying one of those at Crawley Athletics Stadium.

I said "are you a pole vaulter"?

He replied 'Nein, I am German and how do you know my name is Vaulter"?

The joke would work better if you had him saying, "Nein, I am German — but how do you know my name is Walter?"

Thanks, dad.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Thanks, dad.

Just the Thanks would be fine…

Particularly good of them to fire up the pyros in support of our goal. Put our little smoke bomb to shame certainly.

Yeah. That was one limp smoke bomb .

I was in a restaurant and asked the waiter “Do you have asparagus?” He said they didn’t have sparrow on the menu and his name wasn’t Gus.

Seriously? We all thought it said CUBA

Just looked it up.
Commando Ultra 84.
i spent half the match thinking it was CUBA, and the other half wondering what CU84 meant.

 

[Skaville]

I thought the other banner said "DOGGERS" which seemed very strange until someone pointed out it was DODGERS. In my defence, it was a little creased where by the second D. The fact I have an opticians appointment after work today is unrelated.

We were near the Dodgers at the Velodrome

They left out the NT.

That's a bit 'Jammy'!

Dodgers video I took on phone

Dodgy apostrophe on the banner?

Is Jammy the owner?

Three men were arrested last night as Albion hosted Marseille in the Europa League.

A 60-year-old from Lewes was arrested on suspicion of throwing a flare onto the pitch during Brighton's 1-0 victory.

Two men were arrested by British Transport Police, one on suspicion of a public order offence and one for criminal damage.

Havnt the club got answers to provide in 1. how 20ft flag poles made it past security 2. Pyros made it past presumably dogs to detect? In the meantime 109 bottle tops were confiscated.

Exactly, in turning a blind eye to points 1 & 2 which helped create one of the best atmospheres and nights in our history, the club have shown it’s badly out of touch with the fans.

In addition, glorifying Pedro’s celebration (which was a yellow card offence) is out of order. Our young fans will now think that pyros, 20ft flags are the norm and that players should jump into the crowd after each goal.

Maybe it’s time PBOBE considered his position? The vast majority of fans would have taken a loss rather than seen the horrific behaviour of Thursday night.

I DEMAND ANSWERS NOW!

If they're going to do absolutely nothing about multiple Marseille fans holding lit flame flares, but go after 1 in the home end for a non lit smoke bomb.

I think that is totally hypocritical and out of touch.

Punish an over exuberant Albion fan on our biggest european night, after we scored winner in last minute......... an unlit matchstick offence, whilst ignoring the bloody great big burning logs at the other end.

I don't condone it, but there's zero lack of proportionality, or fairness. If Barber could read the room, they'd put out a statement reiterating that it isn't acceptable, but understand the circumstances and the occasion/timing and not go all Stasi over it.

Barbie really can't do much about the Marseille fans beyond asking just what is the purpose of Rex and Rover.

Him waving away the Albion fan, which he should because I love the pyros, would ignore the element of premeditation.

Ooh you've done it now. PROBES little helpers will be gunning for you. Simply not allowed.

But yes, totally agree with your post. Shame that he can't, but it's been like that for many years unfortunately.

And there's me thinking the age of satire was dead.
