oh come on mate that is SHIT arrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh
Ignoring his history against us, he is the type of player we need as a back up striker to bring on when chasing a game - he knows exactly where the goal is and can put the ball in there.
why dont brighton fans like him
Nope it WAS Carl Griffiths. Why do people still have a pop at Scott McGleish is beyond me!!!
Or he is a 4th division player and is ok in the 3rd?

Conditions: overcast, cool.
Kick-off delayed for 5 minutes because of crowd congestion. An insufficient number of turnstiles were opened.

Brighton are bottom, two points adrift of Doncaster and have played two games more. They are 3 points adrift of Hereford United who have played the same number of games.
The fear amongst the supporters is that the club will be deducted more league points, which will make relegation to the Vauxhall Conference almost certain. However, it is very difficult to prevent the action of an occasional nutter. Barry Hearn's (Orient) protest about the organisation at the ground is allegedly an opening punch to cloud over issues about the behaviour of the Orient players that may have contributed to the incident. More information held.
Carlisle are 5 points clear of Fulham at the top of Division 3, with Wigan in third place 10 points clear of Swansea and these teams are certain to gain the 3 automatic promotion places.
Brighton last featured in a 4-4 draw at the Goldstone in Division 4 in the 1964-65 season against Chester City before a crowd of 16,414.
McGleish was the one doing the wanker sign to the north stand
