[Albion] Womens FA Cup Semi-Final v Man Utd @Leigh Sports Village - 5.15pm, Sat 15th Apr

[zeetha]

I'm making the trek this Saturday to see the Womens team against Manchester Utd more in hope than any expectation given our form this season and our relative league positions but hey anything can happen in football - or maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment!! We lie bottom of the league with the worst goal difference (having played less games than others), and they are currently the league leaders, so my logical brain thinks losing by 2 goals or less would be a good result. Obviously my heart is hoping for an amazing upset!

Anyone else going? I'm using Seagulls Travel to get there - so glad they decided to put on a coach even if it does cost nearly 8 times the ticket cost

Match is at Leigh Sports Village, and is live on BBC2 for anyone who isn't able to make the trip up there. Will be interesting to see whether our new manager makes any changes to the team given shes only been in the post a few days.

UTA!

No, I'm not, but treat it like the old awaydays when we (men's team) were utter shit - enjoy the day out and the don't let the football spoil it!

It’s Man Us home ground.

Brighton are 1-0 up after 35 mins (BBC2)

1-0 Brighton. shock result maybe. Why are the ladies wearing Man City tops and black shorts?

 

[hart's shirt]

More shocking goalkeeping from Earps.

At fault for the Brazil equaliser in the Finalissima. Another howler today.

But Albion Women will take a goal however it comes at the moment.

Going to need a very strong defensive performance 2nd half to keep out United.

I think the womens game choose dark coloured shorts for menstrual reasons.
Defending well, look a different side compared to recently. This melissa lady has galvanised them

1-0 Brighton. shock result maybe. Why are the ladies wearing Man City tops and black shorts?

Isn't it last season's away kit?
Although quite why we need to wear an away kit at all against Man U is -
Oh it's to sell more shirts.

 

[dangull]

Fantastic goal by the way. Man U goalkeeper pushing a cross away from her goal into her net.
Never would happen in the mens game

Oh well, it lasted 2 minutes.

 

[Durlston]

The ground looks like Bore'muff (apart from the big terrace that is unused).

Enjoying this. Could there be extra time?

Mary Earps seems to be going through a confidence crisis at the moment after her howler at Wembley last week and now today. SHOOT!

I don't know if she's England's number one now. Worrying so close to the World Cup in Australia.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Belted that goal in

 

[maresfield seagull]

Get in Go on the Ladies

 

[Thunder Bolt]

2-2

 

[Icy Gull]

I think we might have just been cheated, I am certain the Albion player was pushed over just before the break that led to a goal

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Foul on a Brighton player just outside our area, foul not given, Man Utd go straight down the other end and score.
The commentator calling Brighton naive, because Katy Robinson was sitting down injured, and they should’ve put the ball out.
