What was the WORST refereeing decision that went against Brighton?

[The Large One]

I'll regale a tale from the 1930s when Luton played Brighton at the Goldstone.

The ref had blown for a free-kick to Brighton. So a Brighton player put the ball down in order to take the kick, and a Luton player came up and took the free-kick for himself, passed to one of his team-mates, and scored. And the ref gave it.

What a wanker.

Is that for real?!!

The late Ron Challis's two decisions against us v Palace at Stamford Bridge in 1976. Nothing else before or since comes to mind so easily.

I'm suprised you remember that Mr Large One. You don't look a day over 70.

Thanks. I was known as The Little One back then.

Oh yes.

What about the FA cup against Man U sometime in the 90's when the scores were level and one of our players was hacked down in front of the Stretford end? Can't remember the details but that was pretty annoying at the time. The Match of the Day coverage clearly showed it was a sure-fire penalty as all 55000 fans watching at the time knew as well.

To be fair, it was only FOUR.

Still f***ing outrageous, though.

 

[Frutos]

Prosser.

To those of a certain age...Challis

Not giving us a penalty when Cox was brought down in the box in the last minute at Crewe last season was pretty shit

Losing 1-0 at Rotherham the season we got relegated from the Championship under Hinshelwood/Coppell when their goal was about 6 trillion miles off side and the referee ignored the Linesman's flag. I swore at him for the rest of the 1st half at the top of my voice, eyes bulging like a maniac. Even now I don't feel guilty about it - he was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG I tell you.

That was Andy Kennedy and he did go down like a dying swan.

The late Ron Challis? Is he dead? Will this make a good day better?

Ronald Challis (born c1932, died January 2001†) was an English football referee in the Football League. During his time on the List he was based in Tonbridge, Kent.

 

[Questions]

I think both of the decisions by Phrosser on the pens were right.; He was a prick though because of his protestations about the racist remarks against their players which were denied by ?... (cannot remember )

Challis was wrong though on every account and to this day I think he was trying to make a name for himself , similar to the attitude that refs like Clive Thomas tried to take.

Still f***ing outrageous, though.

Now I have never disagreed with you in the past but all of those decisions were spot on.
Keeley once told me that he saved all of them.

 

[vulture]

Wcycombe when adams was still in charge at 1-1 jonesy got chopped well inside the area and the **** of a ref gave a freekick just outside the box...

 

[Tooting Gull]

I think Danson packed most of them into one night match at Orient.

 

[smudge]

Crystal Challis.

Plus, nearly every ref I've seen at Withdean; especially the bald ones.

 

[Al Bion]

I think Challis was by far the worst but Prosser did run him very close, I think Prosser wound me up more with all his comments after the game as well.
