What Was Your FAVOURITE Controversial Refereeing Decision That went Brightons Way?

[Mendoza]

There have been a fair few in my time watching the Albion.

I reckon most recently was the referees decision at Hartlepool to let Bas Savages CLEAR handball go, he then bundled a last minute winner in and the Albion crowd went MENTAL celebrating

Probably Lee Steele being about eight yards offside when he headed the winner against Bristol City a few years back.

When Eric Cantona that got sent off and decided to kung-fu kick that palace fan.

Cantona = albion legend.

I guess technically Sneaky George's goal when he hid behind the goal post could have been disallowed for leaving the field of play without permission. Probably could have given a free kick against him too for fouling the 'keeper.

A clear winner in my eyes!

Exactly. Thread closed.

I seem to remember Bobby Zamora kicking the ball out of the Cheaterfield goalkeepers hand in a 2-1 victory and rolling the ball in the net and the ref giving it.

Quite enjoyed Palace having their late 'equaliser' disallowed against us for offside.

Ooh actually scratch my last post. This one was hilarious, all their fans accusing us of CHEATING. You quite literally couldn't have made it up.

Wasn't there a 'goal' that John Crumplin punched into the net?

I know it happened at Woking, but I think it happened at Cambridge as well?

It was at Cambride, we still lost 2-1 and it snowed at half time.

4-Nil at Swindon Town,back in the 70's over the christmas period when the referee abandonned the game due to heavy rain and Swindons ploughed field of a pitch !

He wasn't offside. The dozy left-back was keeping him on.

He was in an offside position when he headed it, mind.

The left-back promptly went and told the lino (or is it linette) Wendy Toms that she was 'a f***ing bitch'.

We were losing !!

Have to say the decision to kick off at all was somewhat daft,and we lost the replayed game,though with not such a hit to our goal average.Rugger of a drive home,too.

Is it just an old wives tale that Kit Napier once scored when someone blew a whistle in the crowd and the opposition goalkeeper put the ball down for the "kick" and Kit tapped it in?

If it never happened,it should have!
