[Albion] Stoke City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Garyoldfan]

There was a thread a few weeks back which was about, or the conversation evolved to, diving. I mentioned that he is one of our players that goes down dramatically and feigns injury a lot. Most people ignored the post, there was only one response and that was a steadfast denial that he does it (if it was sarcastic, the sarcasm was well hidden).

In his every appearance since then he's gone down holding his face when tapped on the leg etc. I was begining to feel like I was imagining it. It's reasurring to see other people picking up on it (Warren has been picking up on it in this game, too).

Agreed. It’s very annoying, slows our plays down and takes a person out of the attack.

With Hinchy and Cam coming on I make that 6 subs, have they increased the maximum allowed in it?

One was a concussion apparently.

No, we got an extra one because one of Stoke's was a concussion sub.

 

[Washie]

Stoke made a concussion sub in the first half, giving us an extra sub.

 

[The Fits]

Hang on. Haven't we both made 6?! Two concussions?

 

[fruitnveg]

Cheltenham. Wasn't really contributing.

Yep

I haven't been keeping in the loop, evidently.

Ah right of course I missed that it was a concussion sub when it happened.

 

[Hendrax]

job done.

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Peupion staying for the rest of the season then.

 

[The Fits]

Very good second, terrible first. Business as usual. JP absolutely electric. Could be our best yet.

I missed that they made a concussion sub. But when one team makes a concussion sub the other team is given an extra sub as well.

 

[Motogull]

Excellent, and no replay to bother with.

 

[hart's shirt]

Plenty of entertainment for the travelling fans.

Another 4 goals for the Albion.

Through to Round 4.

Job done.

 

[Si Gull]

Well done. Conceded two unfortunate goals but dug in to win it. Class from Groß, Pedro, JPvH the difference. No injuries that we know of, good day.

It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Dunk limping at the end. That’ll please some on here.

I knew about the concussion sub but I didn’t know before today that the other team got an extra too. Makes a lot of sense to make it fair, one of the better rules they’ve come up with

 

[jimhigham]

How many is that for Joao Pedro in all competitions now?

 

[Marxo]

That was a fine afternoon's work, happy days!

 

[The Fits]

Apart from the comical own goal I thought JPVH was excellent, again.
