Well played Albion, you wanted it more than us.

And there was a certain symmetry to Murray getting the winner against us.

My pint of Harvey's was excellent. The bit in the centre of my pie was tasty, but most of it consisted of hard dry pastry.

Think you will find that was sour grapes, not hard pastry!

Apparently according to Radio Sussex the VAR was asked about the winner and he said it was ok as it went in off of his hip; . that is what wife said when she picked me up.

As a palace fan I would like to say, yes it was a goal no argument, saves me a trip up north !!

Plus you’ll be playing Middlesbrough in the Championship next season anyway.

So clearly you know better than our esteemed manager (and me )

Know more than our manager? You right about that - I certainly don't know more than him.

History will record that Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club won the first competitive club match in England with VAR in use.

And they beat their rivals Crystal Palace Football Club.

With a former Palace player scoring the winner.

Love it.

Amen.

Better than expected. Baldock and Kayal knocking on the door of the first team. If only they could shoot!

Definitely reads like a game of two halves, can't wait to get home to watch replay.

It was a goal, Dave. I saw it on TV, Dave. And they had VAR, Dave. And the referee said it was a goal Dave. It was a goal, Dave. Dave, it was a goal. It was a goal Dave.

(with acknowledgement to Red Dwarf).

You're spectacularly missing the main point. It WAS a goal.

Any links to some of the tv highlights? (I was at the game btw)

No problem........no 2.5 hour drive home for me tonight.......

I get that, and understand, but don't tell me 14k other fans live the same distance as you away, not having that.

You know aswell as me there is a fair amount of flakes supporting the club now we have good times.

I suppose the train strike didnt have anything to do with attendence? mines a four hour drive BTW cant do mid week, one has to work for a living still unfortunately.

Like I said there are plenty that due to work, and travel could not make it, but 12-14k of them, nah I am not buying it, it is a fact our support has swelled in recent years and last nights attendance is a reflection of that, and like a thread yesterday, last nights attendance minus 2k Palace fans is probably our core support, and when times are tuff that is where we level out if tuff times come again.

That's because we gave you the ones left over from the league game

We are blessed with good CB's and it was a good test for them last night. Apart from the slip Hunemeier had a good game with a nice calm headed assist at the end following a great free kick from March. No one looked out of place, they can all rotate, and that's a good sign for the last 16 games and maybe a Cup run.

I think he's (Solly) looked out of sorts for some time now, which is a shame given how he started the season. I think Izquierdo was well marshalled by a good, fast full-back..
