Shamefully, we showed a complete lack of class on Friday, and continue to do so....

Sami is a decent guy, he's not doing very well at a job that is relatively new to him, but he's not deserving of humiliation, ridicule and nastiness...... it's absolutely time for a change but Friday night was a completely classless showing from our fans.

A lot of our fans either have very short memories or have spent the last 15 years watching MOTD and thinking that scribbling on bed sheets and shouting obscenities at someone after some bad results is what football fans do.....not our club!

We've fought far bigger battles and are a far better club all round than Friday showed.

Embarrassing.

I've had a day of disbelief and embarrassment on this site - which yes i know i masochistically got strangely hooked to, maybe half-waiting for someone to come along to really clean up the brigade who if given the option would likely attack a nearby paediatrician with menacing glee. Endless conspiracies and hysterical season-ticket-burning flounces and sometimes abusive cries for justice and sackings and heads on sticks and non-pie-eating campaigns and the apocalypse. It's been cringeworthy and ludicrous, all because we hired the wrong manager who hasn't got the best out of a squad that isn't as good as last years. Jeez. Laughably depressing, if that isn't too oxymoronic to ever say.
I hope we put in a good performance and get a good result at Wolves to quieten down the interminably unsettled, whether that's with Hyypia or his likely replacement at the helm.

Utter nonsense.

Football is about passion, it's about nothing else mattering for a day or two.

It's love, its hatred it's FOOTBALL ffs.

If you don't get it then fine, but don't complain about the fans that do.

It's not a case of it being upsetting, it's a case of some of our fans being anus twitchingly cringe-worthy.

Watching a middle aged man go purple in the face screaming at Hyypia that he's a c*** , and shouting out pathetic hashtag quotes like "bin the finn" is toe -curlingly horrible..... rivaled only, this season, by the pied piper of pre-pubescents (The Judge ) shouting out at Watford away what he was going to shout and what all the rest of the crowd should follow.... We're getting a bit tin pot.

I would suggest that rather me needing to "man up" it's the children and obnoxious simpletons amongst our support that need to stop depositing their tampons all over the Amex terraces and get on with watching the football and supporting the team rather than soil their knickers over a few bad results.

Our fans have been very patient, and we all wanted him to succeed, and for a group of fans who've been through more shit than 90% ever will, I'm actually proud that we have collectively given all parties the maximum benefit of the doubt.

But the club and our league status is more important than anyone's feelings, hyypia included. If you sign a contract in football worth million + you know full well the rewards of success and the price of failure. You can't sign it, take the money, fail the club and fans and expect indefinate good will.

We the fans care about our clubs fortunes far more than those for whom Brighton is a job, win,lose or draw. And it's us that will still be here long after every current employee has moved on.

We have every right to voice our displeasure, we all care and it's because Brighton means a hell of a lot to so many fans, that they will eventually react when they see their club being mismanaged on or off the field.
hyypia signed the contract, nobody forced him to.

And Hyypia will still be a multi millionaire when he leaves and long after the justified fan displeasure subsides.

Not a chance, I live for watching the Albion and have done for years, through thick and thin.

The difference is, the moment I walk into a football stadium I don't turn into a complete tool or automatically gain an inflated sense of entitlement.

If I'm not mistaken, you've posted about a confrontation with a 14 year old at the stadium this week..... if that doesn't hit home in a quiet moment as being a tad embarrassing I would suggest that football supporting is the wrong pass time for you.

My point is, a large percentage of football fans do turn into complete tools when they get into a stadium (hence the 14 year old boy), so it's a difficult sport to enjoy if that side of it bothers you so much.

Out of interest, do you think Hyppia should stay? And if he does, and we get to the point where you think that he has to go, what would you say would be an appropriate way to show the board your thoughts?
