[Albion] Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[One Teddy Maybank]

Stains ALWAYS beat Bournemouth at home.

Some sneered at the Stains squad, but tons of creative quality in there, unlike rugby shite WBA and Stoke.

Hudd are in deep trouble. Today was their last good chance to get points.

Good post.

Trouble is, if Stains has gone, I’d have had Gabbiadini and Ward-Prowse (though so would others).

Huddersfield are in massive trouble now.
Chelsea going for 4th
City going for annihilation.
Arsenal winning for Wenger.

Barnes has certainty perfected the art of fouling to win a free kick as he did today on many occasions.

He has indeed. He learned from the best (Murray).

 

[Eeyore]

Talk about bearing grudges!
Constant booing of Bong and Murray for a start.
Barnes is a cheating git too.Conned the ref constantly.

That's better than before. At least he didn't attack him.

Watching Alan Shearer and Klinsmann taught them the method.

Imagine having to watch Burnley every week.

Bruno on Barnes in the Argus earlier this week. An interesting way of describing the incident at Bolton.
In his first game back, with Albion failing to turn possession into shots at Bolton, he was deemed to have tripped referee Nigel Miller and was sent off in the 90th minute

The ref was conned, over and over again. Pretty poor from a supposedly top refereee.

I thought the ref today was astonishingly bad - one of the worst performances of the season. Fell for Burnley's tactics of trying to win fouls hook line and sinker whilst managing to ignore any fouls against us. The ultimate homer. Just lucky he didn't really have to make any game changing decisions although always worth remembering that this ref somehow missed the most blatant push of the season against Lewis Dunk in the play off semis which cost us promotion.

Incredible a team can get 7th and a place in Europe averaging less than a goal a game and a GD of just +3.

Was nice to see so many relaxing with a beer in the sun on Jimmy Anderson's patch, although matey got unneccesarily irked with a few light hearted comments about being made up of our cast-offs.

Was only a joke mate.

Good point but another dire performance. Things need to change next season if we stay up.

I'm surprised you thought the performance was dire. Is that view formed from the radio or were you at the game ? I really enjoyed the game. Excellent performance from the central midfield in particular. We had more shots than Burnley and more possession and in the last 20 minutes in particular Burnley rarely had the ball and the constant pressing of their defenders created opportunities. On another day we would have won comfortably. All of this makes the editing of the MOTD coverage particularly farcical. They simply showed a handful of Burnley half chances and the scramble in the goalmouth when they should have scored. Having said that, there were decent shouts against Bruno and Dunk (I think) for handballs. I have a lot of admiration for Bong who owned their wingers despite dealing with unpleasant abuse. All in all a good performance which gives me a lot of optimism for next season.

Support yesterday, as ever, was fantastic, what a great wall of noise we make. The booing of Bong, was quite simply racist. Although those northern monkeys tended to boo for 90 minutes. It's grim oop norf.

Sometimes being short has its advantages!

Watched the game via a stream on redditt .com but the picture was slightly obscured by a note DISABLE ADBLOCKER which I couldnt remove. Obviously want to stream the 2 away games so how do I do this and if so does it cause any problems

Have you disabled your AdBlocker for NSC as Bozza asked us all to? If so - just do the same for the stream you're on at the time. If not - then it depends whether you're in internet explorer / firefox / chrome / omsung phine / etc - as they all have slightly different ways. Generally the adblocker thing is in the top right of your screen, click on it and get a drop down - and go from there.

No idea what else it does. If anything. Just what it says on the tin I expect.

You have to admire BG's ability to turn a match thread into one about his IT skills. Just one deft/defence splitting post is all it takes.
