I find myself wondering if Murray wasn't fully fit, as there could be no other reason for removing Reading's only effective striker in that game.

The only reason I can think off was he on a yellow card.

Absolutely. For half an hour we were just about as bad as we could be. Lucky it wasn't a decent team like Derby against us. Reading are very poor.

He was on a yellow and rolling about on the east sideline like a kid trying to hold on to his ball. He had lost the plot IMO. I reckon he still more Palace than Brighton.

I couldn't see him as much of a red card risk, unlike Simon Cox, who I thought was walking a tightrope.

Exactly my thoughts.

He was holding his left buttock after that incident...injured? Or just being a dick

Fair enough, maybe it was wishful thinking!

That's what I thought too. Can't think of any other reason why he was substituted.
We came up with the theory he'd got injured in the previous challenges. Only explanation other than madness.

A dick I reckon. I can not remember a player who so obviously has a problem with the Albion after playing for us.

Silly old bat
He still has a petulant streak with the deliberate handball.

Really? Dean Hammond when he played for Southampton!

Been on the sauce again, Mouldy?
He's shown nothing but class each time he has scored against us.
It's not his fault that we make it so easy for him.

He probably has some justification to feel a little disappointed at the way he was treated at the end of his time with us. Had we given him a couple of quid more, we'd probably have reached the premier league, not palace. He hasn't ever celebrated a goal he's scored against us either. I like Murray, great player for us.

You could say I was baiting a tad for the anti Jones brigade!
Dean IMO still earned more respect for his rise through the Albion ranks.

Exactly this. Had plenty of opportunity to do a Hammond and turned it down each and every time in favour of no celebration.
Having said that, I'm not too inclined to do much defending of any player that leaves a team to go straight to their direct rivals.

Was flabbergasted when Murray went off.... I had visions of him scoring a hattrick, and we seemed keen to let him ..... all good news for Brighton though. We were the better team second half by miles, what a shame we were so utterly inept in the first half. Murray will never score two easier goals at this level.
Also, I dont get the booing when he came off. He was good for us, and doesnt "Over celebrate" when he scores against us....
