Not let in a goal since the first half away to Marseille.Domestically we seem to dominate possession and xG but not get our just desserts. But in Europe we play poorly and win and keep a clean sheet.
Mate, I haven't lost my dad yet but I honestly know what you mean with loss of family and football mates.Honestly, what next? I’m not sure I can take it!
I almost had a ‘moment’ at the end there, my son reacted like I would at his age but gave me a big bear hug, whereas my dad was sadly passed on when I was my son’s age tonight, I properly started to well up. Silly old idiot!!
Wanted a thread like this, that was SPECIAL. I had the onion eyes, that was just, well, I cannot put it into words. I needed that.We rode our luck, missed a few chances with tame efforts, outplayed another european great and in the end thoroughly deserved that win. It was a Will Buckley Doncaster moment or failing that Mac Allister in the 98th minute with the sound of 30000 seagulls roaring as he struck the penalty.
Hats off to all Brighton players and fans tonight and I doff a cap remembering people we lost along the way who fought alongside all of us of a certain age throught the decrepit tragically ending Goldstone, exile in Gillingham, return to Brighton in an Athletics stadium and then in our wonderful new Amex Stadium. Thanks Dick Knight, thanks Fatboy Slim, thanks so much Tony Bloom, I love you all and will forever be grateful.
Never in my wildest dreams would we experience moments like this.
What a team, what beautiful football, what a winner!
They did hit the post TWICE though….but we also squandered some great chances and shot straight at the keeper more often than not, which at the time, was incredibly frustrating. Alls well that ends well though!Wouldn’t say we rode our luck as they offered nothing. We just weren’t clinical enough at times. But the rest of the post was spot on - glad I was there and can’t wait to see where we go from here! UTA
SPOT ON.Whoever thought, when hearing talk of 'magical European nights', that us Brighton fans would one day get past the bouncers and into that club?
The atmosphere at the end in the Amex was fantastic. With all the crap going on in the world at the moment we need to cherish the moments of pure joy that this game we love can bring.
Enjoy every minute and much love to you all. (No, I'm sober. - That's how much of a lift its given me.)
I would. A ball hit underside of bar with Steele beaten and another hit post then Steele before JPVH cleared.Wouldn’t say we rode our luck as they offered nothing. We just weren’t clinical enough at times. But the rest of the post was spot on - glad I was there and can’t wait to see where we go from here! UTA
Took us 110 minutes to really find our feet after AEK at home and first 20 in Marseille, since when we've just grown into it superbly.Let’s not forget we lost our first group game and havnt lost again…..that’s some feat in our first European campaign
An elegant sufficiency of outcome, also.Only one word can truly sum up how that game went:-
Adequately.
My 19 yr old grandson is at uni, but was sending me joyous texts. He loves Pedro.Honestly, what next? I’m not sure I can take it!
