Legend seems an inadequate description.

I'll expect the queue of German clubs chasing Pascal is steadily growing

Just seen this as been en France since thu am. What a man. . . I reaLly hope he has a good tournament.

A no drama, technically gifted player who just gets on with it.
He has massively delivered beyond expectations. A model pro.

When this guy leaves he deserves a statue imo, an absolute legend.

And a couple of seasons ago the newly entitled on NSC were bleating 'get rid'.

Honestly.... <sigh>

 

[Wozza]

A German-speaking manager is the best chance of keeping him imo.

New player-assistant?

To be fair I'd hold my hands up as no doubt referred to him as walking though treacle, but since admitted I was talking shit.
He is legendary, and tbh I'd go as far as saying he trumps all since the Amex era (even dunky), goes about his business so quietly, I think that is perhaps why he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
I'm not an entitled though (just misguided ), been here since the days of Perry between the sticks and Small up top.

Edit I thought North stand chat was like the football vets, so I was a late joiner as soon as I hit what I thought was qualification age.

Now you’re talking my kinda

This is a slightly long and self indulgent post.

Seeing that Pascal Gross scored a last minute winner for Germany tonight has brought on a wave of grief.

My dad died on 27th May, so just under 2 weeks ago. My first thought on seeing that Pascal Gross scored a last minute winner is that I should text my dad and let him know, and then it hit me that never again can I text or chat to him about Brighton.

For context my dad first started taking me to the Goldstone in the late 80s when I was about 8. My dad and I had season tickets from 1990 until just under a year ago when his health meant we gave them up (ok we didn’t have one the first season at Gillingham but we went to almost every home game and got one for the second season).

We also did a huge number of away games regardless of the division. We went to Hereford together, the march through Mellor, Hartlepool for the only away win of that season, loads during the promotion seasons and up to the pandemic in the Premier League.

Anyway I miss him and I miss talking about Brighton to him.

Nothing self indulgent about that at all. It‘s human. Sorry for your loss but it’s that very sense of loss that shows how special he was.

Top post. That's what NSC needs. Humility and humour. The other 'H' (hubris) can far cough

yes yes yes but they were sent to bed with no dinner to contemplate their inate blitherings and we all laughed at them , then and even mores now.

Unfortunately some people prefer the fast flashy sports car and others appreciate the classics.
We should all be grateful Pascal isn’t the fastest out of the blocks because he would have left the Albion years ago for a Chelsea or a Liverpool.

 

[schmunk]

Just like Man City's Irish playmaker Bernard o'Silva, he doesn't need to be fast to be fabulous.

 

[Zeberdi]

Playing for Germany, a German coach at home, fans that appreciate you … take a bow Gross and just stay. We need your humble talent.

 

[Baldseagull]

Barber is going to be thinking we can get a few quid for him if we sell this window, especially if he does that sort of thing in the tournament. We really need him next season though, Hinshelwood needs to study him, and Hurzeler needs his intelligence and leadership on the pitch. Play well and come back Pascal.
