[Albion] Middlesbrough vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[B-right-on]

Former Brighton striker scores past former Boro goalie

Poor from Steele but Colwill has let Akpom have a free header there. Awful defending.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Oh well, it's only the FA Cup....

Always said we should concentrate on the league.

 

[London Irish]

What’s all this nonsense slagging off Tross and wishing him transferred. Don’t we ever learn, how many times do we have to repeat this dumb cycle

 

[Stat Brother]

Wasn't it an own goal.

Akpom's header hit the post and came out.

Very sloppy goal Akpon totally unmarked hits the post bounces off Steele into the net

 

[lizard]

Surely that's a Steele OG? Header hits post, ball is travelling back out away from goal hits Steele and bounces in. Very Stockdale-esque.

- As I understand the point would be that if a contract is wearing down (ie 12-18mnths) , the registered club can set a higher minimum amount to protect the transfer value of their player - ie the amount that they would be prepared to let a player start talking to the interested club - It is perfectly legal for player and club to renegotiate the amount at any time and come up with a mutually agreeable figure thats lower but in the first instance it’s a statement of intent as much as anything whilst also counteracting a decreasing market value (which is the point of a 12 month extension of course).

Anyway, I think we have a more appropriate thread for this elsewhere.

I need to find a stream!

It doesn't. It only means that there is a maximum amount that the bidding club needs to put in. If Trossard has a £30m release clause, Brighton can still accept a £15m bid but they can not demand anything above £30m. There is no advantage for the club.

Don't rate colwill at all. Very poor defending for the goal and when he gets the ball he looks bereft of ideas, just stands there.

Who ever had the firestick what channel is it on I've look everywhere for it, f***ing winding me up now.

Let off there

 

[Springal]

When he gets the ball he looks bereft of ideas, just stands there.

That is part of ‘RDZ Ball’ I’m afraid

 

[Swansman]

"Interesting" defending... good save by Steele.

 

[B-right-on]

Gross captain. Excellent choice.

 

[Swansman]

We're actually not bad are we. Playing well already.

Maybe I'm a greedy entitled bastard but I sort of expect the team to play well against Middlesbrough...

 

[The Fits]

Lamptey isn't great with his positioning. Probably comes from a career being the fastest player.

 

[Hendrax]

we're looking a bit lost at the back.

 

[Dibdab]

Don't rate colwill at all. Very poor defending for the goal and when he gets the ball he looks bereft of ideas, just stands there.

I’m pretty sure he’s doing what RDZ is telling him to do re. Standing there. Wait for someone to run at him and pass around them.

 

[Gabbiano]

Van Hecke seems to be getting beaten in the air a lot.
