[Albion] Match Thread: Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wannabe Brighton & Hove Albion

[brightn'ove]

Really confused why the ref would give a second yellow like that in a friendly? Give a warning. Nobody is looking to have to run more than necessary, it wasn’t that bad.

 

[Washie]

We need to sign defenders, no back up for Veltman, no cover for Estupinian. And even at cb we need more cover

 

[ElectricNaz]

That was a bloody lovely goal tbf. Annoying but really good

 

[Pavilionaire]

I had no idea JPVH was even on a yellow. Any other friendly the ref has a word about that second yellow.without producing a card.

 

[OzMike]

Final score please.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Also being questioned on Twitter. I saw Solly get a yellow.

According to the match centre on the club site
Yellow 57’
Red 60’

Mate, that tackle was extremely poor. That needed a second yellow, or else the game becomes extremely dirty.

It was a bad challenge

 

[WhingForPresident]

Ref would def had made the same decision for a Chelsea player.

Pathetic.

Of course, they bring on Colwill against us.

Because it was a kill mode foul. Can't really argue against it. Don't need to warn a professional player on a yellow to not make a dickhead challenge, that's the managers job

It was fun though for a pre season game

Very young/inexperienced team out now, let's get Adingra and Joao running at them.

 

[Washie]

The first yellow was given after he was pulling back Stirling and the ref gave advantage

 

[Gabbafella]

Should've put it to bed a long time ago, can't see us turning this around now unfortunately.

 

[SweatyMexican]

As much as it’s a friendly, this is a big event for the Americans so it’s taken a bit more seriously by them.

 

[Albion my Albion]

EDIT: I think the with freshness of the players that playing with 10 men won't hurt our side as bad as normal.

Talk about being wrong.

 

[Whitechapel]

As this is apparently some weird tournament, is Van Hecke suspended now?

 

[chickens]

I did not see Van Hecke’s first booking.

Feel we’ve played well, had more chances, but snatched at them a bit.

Wish Enciso would look up and cut back rather than try and finish from a really tough angle. Undav was there and waiting to tap in.

 

[WhingForPresident]

This is f***ing nonsense. Not watching any more

He pulled a player back, play continued but he got booked afterwards.

Its a useful exercise still in tactics and discipline for the rest of the team now that JVPH has walked. I'm not too fussed about winning a tinpot friendly trophy.
