[Albion] We are Brighton

[philgull25]

Does anyone read thier blogs or follow them on twitter? What do people think of them?

I find thier musings quite knowledgable of Albion history but often borderline offensive and over the top.

I think their musings get effected by alcohol intake

 

[Common as Mook]

An embarrassment to the fans.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

They we bang on calling out the Sun over the historic Duffy 'homophobia'.

 

[Munkfish]

I like them.

You must be fun at parties.

I think they get affected by alcohol intake, personally.

I don’t go to parties

 

[Mr Banana]

It's a brilliant site.

Some of their stuff is very good, but some of it is rubbish.

A bit like Nsc, really.

Not sure I agree. The sun is garbage and gutter journalism but I find it hard to defend the club’s response considering they claim to take a zero tolerance approach to homophobia.

 

[Gazwag]

They did strike up a good friendship with Stockdale

Bring back the moan in. I loved Al and Malcolm

 

[Beach Hut]

Bring back the moan in. I loved Al and Malcolm

Gangster Al even phoned in from prison, once.

A true legend

 

[Whitechapel]

I used to really enjoy the moan in, back in the day.

Didn’t they have a disagreement with mods on here who then banned all of them?

He apologised a few months ago in a letter to the FA and the club.
Wondering what you think could/should have sufficed. ?

Sometimes I find some of their stuff good but for the most part they tend to want to be as funny as Paddy Power and come off an embarrassing try hards. Oh and they love a good witch hunt/harassment of fans that disagree with them sometimes. They're just a bargain bin Arsenal Fan TV with even less humour.

Eh?
Explain

 

[chaileyjem]

They are often funny rightfully go into bat for fans, and issues and provide a free , useful service across their multiple blogs/tweets.
I'd really miss them if they weren't there..

except when it all goes wrong and they think its ok - just in the last few weeks
- Tweet a highly offensive slur to describe disability after our defeat v Palace.
- compare our defence to kids at Chailey Heritage School (twice in tweets) for the purposes of a cheap gag.
- Tweet Welcome our new signing earlier this week by er, swiftly comparing him to an "illegal immigrant" despite the fact he has dual nationality and was born in Germany.
despite having thousands of kids following them, and being the largest fan Twitter account.

They do apologise

...sometimes. But these self confessed drunken mistakes are widely out of character with the progressive club they not only support and sometimes confusingly, given the above, are asked to represent.

 

[Bozza]

No idea. They blocked me/NSC many years ago so I never see any of their stuff.*

Met some of them in a pub after Fulham two or three seasons back, bought them and their associates a round (rounds, possibly - I can't recall) of drinks and from what I recall it was all very amiable. I think we even spoke about NSC sponsoring their content in some way. No interactions with them since then, although I think I've been told they've had thinly-veiled, possibly alcohol-fuelled pops at me since. When I've had Palace fans threatening my son, fellow Albion fans being narky at me year after year is neither here nor there.

All feels like a bit of a shame really.


(* - I also spend very, very little time on twitter. I'm not sure I've looked at the NSC twitter account for a good 2 or 3 weeks now, maybe more. Stuff I share to twitter from here doesn't actually involve me going to twitter - I use a social sharing tool for that.)
