Seriously?
Can anyone confirm what happened at the end of the game? The Pool fans on their forum aren't happy with Elphick: http://boards.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=958&p=16&style=2&forumId=5550&action=1&replytoid=527814696

But did Elphick kiss the armband!

According to some 'Pools fans he did, not having been there I couldn't say. However, I think a lot of their ire is down to the fact we ruined the script. I think we were supposed to sacrafice three points for the death of one of their younger players. I'm sure everybody has all the sympathy going for the player and his family but sorry, people die all the time, it's the only 100% certainty in life.

Couldn't really see as too far away. It all got a bit feisty in the second half. Quite funny really.

It's to be remembered just which side had a player dismissed.

That is probably true but these things do happen. Bolland should know better.

Just had a look at the Hartlepool board, and they feel Elphick definitely kissed his arm band in front of Barker when we scored our late winner. this was in response to Barker doing the same when he scored from the penalty.
If it is true (and I don,t know...I wasn,t there) it does seem in very poor taste.

All part of the game methinks. He shouldn't have risen to it. Well played by Cox in my opinion.
That site has an unfortunate name given the circumstances.

A storm in a tea cup, but taking a less pessimistic view, is it not possible that Mr Elphick was also trying to show his respects to the player? Why is it automatically assumed that a Brighton player kissing an armband is an act of disrespect?
agreed, maybe Elphick knew the kiddy! typical NSC goons jumping to pointless conclusions about a nothing situation caused by the deprived state of Nevada wanting its own sanctions on beef export, its in the wind ya know!

I'm sorry, but this is just a case of overblown emotion. They're not a bad bunch, our team and I cannot believe they were insensitive enough to deliberately upset Hartlepool players and fans today. They're even saying that our players and the ref failed to fully respect the minutes silence. Poppycock. They call us animals, yet they hang monkeys. Pot/kettle I think

Putting myself in a Hartlepool fans shoes I'd be incredibly pissed off!
If he did that then it's uncalled for and not on,especially considering the circumstances.
