They have tweeted and said this was AFTER the game..

I don't understand this mentality that footballers aren't also allowed to be fans.. Once the game is over they can all form a w*nk circle for all I care.

Its as if people are questioning the attitude of the same players who got us promoted to this league.
When the game is finished and you've played against some of the worlds best players, what's the problem with getting whatever momento you can in what ever manner you can?.

I have this nagging concern that our players still don't really, really believe they belong in this division. The performances against Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool haven't helped dissuade me from this*. I wasn't at the game today but a colleague from work was and attended as a neutral. His view was that we were far too respectful of Liverpool; certainly in the first half. With that in mind this doesn't help. I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but it just feels a little bit wrong.

*I still don't know where our Man Utd performance came from. Delightfully incongruous.

It's as if these dicks honestly believe some of our players didn't play to their best because of some sort of superiority complex of Liverpool players.

I just find it odd... I’ve worked in the entertainment industry along side ‘famous’ people and would have been sacked if I had of asked for an autograph. Professionalism and all that. I just don’t see any of Liverpool autograph worthy when we have players in the same league.

Messi, Ronaldo, etc.. are real greats of our time and I’d get that. Not a Europa League team

Where is the line drawn or will we always be little old Brighton ?

It's not difficult to understand is it? We are a grounded and realistic bunch on the whole but this grates at me and I doubt I'm the only one. We've taken plenty of pastings in my 20+ years watching, I struggle to remember any of our players going after any Plymouth autographs after they ****** us by the same scoreline.

We've just been rolled over, I'm hurting, I don't want pictures in my face of our players asking for autographs while it's still raw. I don't give a shit if they want to do it out of the public eye. Before some dickhead with some tired old bollocks about players just being employees wades in, well aware that they don't hold the same pride and attachment to the club as us, but fawning over superstar players after they just demolished you is simply not professional, much less allowing someone to take a photograph of it.

It might be alright for the ones who are secretly ******* themselves off about liverpool's performance, having a soft spot for them and their nice fans (for **** sake). Not for me.

Kayal didn't play

After the game in an area which is mostly private at football clubs, or at least regarded as such by most people with the privilege to have access. Maybe Kayal wanted a shirt signed for his kid for Christmas? Or for a charity? Or for any number of reasons. Even if it’s for him, has no bearing on anything at all once the game is over.

Very difficult to understand the number of half and half scarves today. If you want to support Brighton, wear blue. If not, get a ticket in the away end or stay at home and let someone who wants to support us come.

I saw a couple of half and halvers and made a point of listening to their accent. Most seemed to be German. I guess I can kind of accept that, a tourist with some memorabilia.

But then I saw some ******* walking back through Haywards Heath with one. A guy in his 20s. What a ****.

If I was Hughton I would definitely stop the players getting autographs, especially pre match. It sends out such a bad signal. Brighton are a Premier League club, we’re not here to make up the numbers. We should be doing our best to intimidate the away team, not as for their ****ing autograph FFS.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s all very well having an eye on a big club when we were in the lower divisions, but once you reach the promised land it’s time to pin your colours to the mast.
