[Albion] Southampton vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Dick Head]

Potter in!



Sucking air in through his teeth like some kind of vacuum pump.

 

[Insel affe]

Let’s hope so, I really like Trossard and I think he’s one of our more creative players.
He’s been incredibly unlucky at times, that Manchester United game for example, we could have been talking about an unbelievable hat trick....

Team Trossard today.

Team Trossard worked out well...

Massive team effort today, three well deserved points, now let’s carry the momentum onto Newcastle and move further away.

So you honestly feel the first appeal was a foot outside the box?

To be honest, neither of the penalty shouts looked remotely like a penalty. I'm still surprised the VAR wanker didn't manage to give one though.

I don't want to be arguing this all night because it was a fantastic win today, it's all about opinions,

I would just like to add as an aside that if we had been 1-2 behind and those two penalty appeals had gone against us, you could have bet a pound to a pinch of shite that this forum would have had a meltdown..

Yeah fair enough, you didn’t deserve that. I just find the doom mongers exasperating. Individuals like Connolly, Burn and Trossard slated week after week. It’s often so unjustified. I absolutely love it when they stick it to the doubters.

Not a problem and thanks.
I’m totally with you when it comes to the ‘so and so is not even a defender’ type threads. My negative comments were more in the spirit of a commentary on the match thread. I can see why it is irritating though

Not one single Southampton player went to the ref to argue that it was inside the box. Tells the story.

But every Southampton player was up for the second appeal. Tells the story.

Last minute, with your team desperately needing a goal and your player falls over in the box. Doesn't really tell the story for me.

... of modern players, who’ll do absolutely anything to get a decision.


Alas for Stains, Attwell actually had a very good game.

Indeed. I never understand the argument that we should take into account the strength of player appeals. PL players are mostly a bunch of cheats and nobody should ever consider their opinions on refereeing decisions.

Fergie was the master, orchestrating a gang of shouting bullies led by the miserable whinny faces of Giggs and G.Neville. Intimidating refs.

It simply should have no bearing on decisions.

Just enjoy the win FFS

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Must be an Amex early leaver?

No, but I do hide in the ladies if it gets tense.
I usually stay for a drink with mates after a game.

 

[FamilyGuy]

Jesus Biss is poor today but Burn is really not having a good game today

It seems to me that - good though he is - Biss changed down a gear a few matches ago, perhaps he'd rather be playing for Arsenal?

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Massive win today - absolutely massive.

Now - a result is needed against Newcastle in order to avoid undoing all the good work of today.

 

[tigertim68]

Me too, it did look a penalty both times.

Neil I think your eyesight must be going , neither were a penalty , just enjoy the fact the Var on both decisions was correct , still can’t see how the ref can play advantage, then give them another chance at goal ,

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Obviously, a much-needed win and good to get the bragging rights for the 'A27 derby' once more.

 

[nicko31]

Huge win, good tactical change at HT changed the game for us. Many 8 pts will do it
