[Albion] Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[tstanbur]

Got him free as he’s a pal of Birtles

f*** me Birtles is an absolute “know it all” dinosaur. Completely ruined that great game with his awful co-commentary.

Thank you for the sensible post. Pedro does annoy me with his theatrical attributes if that’s lessen the pain of losin?

I have a soft spot for BHA and being fair we got a little more last season than the performance deserved, some you win eh?

It’s embarrassing we’ve got a couple of biscuits, it’s a pet hate of mine, I watch a lot of rugby and shudder at the force they clatter into each other, it’s about time play acting was come down on.

They must have had other video. From the one of the TV you can not tell what happened. From the view saw it should stay as the decision on the field.

What did Taylor get shown. That's what we ought to be seeing.

 

[Beanstalk]

What was their pen like?
Haven't seen it back yet.

I heard that Webb had instructed the VAR officials to not give so many soft penalties.
seeing as Taylor didn't give it, I assume it must have been a clear and obvious error.

Much like ours it was soft. Unlike ours it wasn’t given on pitch.

Bizarre decision for VAR to decide they needed to intervene on such a subjective decision.

How did he balls it up ? It's for the players to keep their cool. A ref is not a nanny. Taylor is zero tolerant. Dunk let himself, and the team, down there.

You can only push people so far with poor officiating. Once again that was beyond poor. Dunk may have let himself down, but at this level, we deserve better.

Well if saw what we saw there is no way you can see what is happening. Like I said the video we saw did not give any information one way or the other.

Yes Dunk was stupid doing what he did - but a better ref would have told him "get away from me NOW or you're off".

Do we know he didn’t say that? At the end of the day Dunk is experienced, the team captain, he knows better and will be disappointed in himself for doing that.

It’s really not up to the ref to save players from their own idiocy.

 

[Insel affe]

Immense win, but at what cost, we’re now officially down to the bare bones.

 

[Motogull]

And Palace lost to Luton

Luton's historic first home EPL victory too. Glad it was against them.

, You want to hear Steve “Harry” Hodge …….he’s different gravy, starts half the chants off he’s that bias

Whatever we may say about certain players lacking this and that - that was some performance from all of them.

Once again had to beat the officials and the opposition.

Can't help thinking if that was Fulham players would be laying on the turf holding their heads throughout that extra 10 minutes added on - how did he get 10 minutes !!

About 4 minutes arguing about their pen and the red card. Then lots of subs and we were wasting time as do all teams leading by 1 goal near the end.

Not meaning to be rude, because I understand people are at the game and won’t have seen, but the cameras clearly caught Dunk initially putting his hands on the ref and shouting about the penalty decision. (Yellow card). As he’s running away he shouts “cheating c**t* and gets a straight red.

A straight red for dissent is a two game ban plus fine for bringing the game into disrepute, unless it’s a second offence when the FA could increase it via panel.

This ban applies only to English competitive domestic fixtures, so does not apply to Athens on Thursday.

How was it poor ? Both penalties came from Stockley. Apart from that Taylor seemed to be very even handed. At 75 minutes the only board with a ref rant was going to be the Forest one. @jcdenton08 has identified Dunk's red card offence. There is too much of this about refs not being in control and not enough on player discipline. Taylor made it clear and even, Keep pushing it and the cards come out.

If you have a ref who is a disciplinarian you have to play to that tune.

 

[dazzer6666]

Yet Taylor misses or bottled a player on a yellow stamping on Pedro’s back with his studs

Lino should have helped him out there - literally a yard away

Taylor is an utter ****. Just a disgusting waste of oxygen.

 

[Blue3]

Only seen the one camera angle and really could not see any foul

 

[stewart_weir]

Get In.

seems some confusion whether Dunk had 2 yellows or Straight Red.
Losing Dunk for Chelsea/ Brentford/Burnley is not ideal

2 yellows from where I was sat in front of the Mac

Just seen a re-run (stream is still going) and it does look something like that. Brainless from Dunk if that's what it is. No second yellow shown as far as I could see (again)

He wasn’t even that biased to be honest. Just f***ing useless, talking nonsense for most of it. He’s done it very recently in another game of ours too. May have even been Sheff Utd.

Rugby refs control the game by telling the players not to push it and are respected for that.
Football refs are not earning respect and so do not get any.
