[Albion] Premier League 2-4/2

[Gwylan]

But it wasn't an attempt to make a foul either.

That's irrelevant. If you make contact and you're not trying to play the ball then it's a foul and a red card. If he'd tried to play the ball and fouled the player then it's a yellow card. The law is quite clear on this

I grew up in Worthing and only came over to Southampton when I finished school at the age of 18. I still remember, though, feeling resentment over Southern TV football coverage in the news in the 60s - Southampton this and Southampton that, and Brighton were tagged on at the end. Even the year we won div. 4 with Bobby Smith et al - oh and by the way Brighton have just won Div 4 with a record number of points and a record number of goals (or similar). And I detested Terry Paine, who I thought was a nasty dirty player........ I was biased, though.

I do also agree that, even among the friendly ones, there is still a certain arrogance as you say. I felt for them last night - Mrs DiS is a Saints fan and STH, but she also “gets” the Brighton thing and loves the City, and we sometimes make a weekend of a match by taking our Motorhome over for a couple of days.

I did get really annoyed when they beat us earlier in the season at the AMEX, but got a couple of messages from friends locally that they were lucky and didn’t deserve it - particularly the penalty.

I would LOVE to see us finish above them, though.

I only saw him live once, in a 'friendly' at the Goldstone - must have been 55 years ago. He was the dirtiest player I've ever seen.

It is clear but I think the issue is the law is written wrong. It was supposed to take away the double jeapordy of someone making an honest attempt and giving away a penalty and being red carded as opposed to hacking someone down or shirt pulling. I think everyone would agree accidental contact should be in first camp not the second and only a booking. But that's not what the rules say

Let’s hope Burnley are so depleted for our game on Saturday

Burnley handily concede an early goal.

The commentator Rob Dempsey has just said that Burnley's starting XI today have only scored 4 Premier League goals in total this season.
And we thought we had problems.

Cue Stephens to come on dominate the midfield

Leicester are pants without Vardy. Worried about this one

Lovely cross and finish for the Foxes

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

All good so far

 

[Hendrax]

What a cross for Leicester's opener. 0-1

Games going our way so far, lets hope it continues

City just trying to patiently pick their way through Burnley’s 9 defenders at the moment.....feels like only a matter of time before they get another.

The night has started well. If these results remain, the ‘free hit’ tag only becomes more meaningful!

 

[Weststander]

I’ve always liked Iheanacho.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Burnley resting players?

You haven't got time to piss about on this thread. In 32 minutes time you have to feed the results of Predict Potter's Picks [TM] into the super-computer and generate the latest scores.

Fulham are at least having a go. Burnley aren't even trying to compete against City.
