I don't know how much more simple we have to make this. Before the game, the lad knocked up a poster asking a Chelsea player for his shirt. He could have got one asking Dunk, Duffy or Murray for a shirt but he chose Hazard. This was very pre-meditated, it wasn't a spur of the moment thing during the match. It shows exactly where that kid's allegiance is.
That's entirely that kid's prerogative but if you're a Chelsea fan rather than a Brighton fan then go in the away end and cheer them on. I don't blame the kid, I blame the parent. The parent is taking the piss out of all the other Brighton fans around him by doing this in the Brighton end. It really is that simple.

Oh but we were - lots of times. But he had the nous to turn and get on his toes. Sometimes you just have to admit an opposition player was a cut above. Today was such an occasion. There are some myopic views on here

I get all that. It shouldn't have happened. I've never been involved in anything to give my lad something like that. If I could, I would and if it resulted in some bleating then diddums.

have to say, i did think that it was class of hazard to give the kid his shirt, so i clapped him for that nice gesture, that, and the fact that he was the most classy player on the pitch. saw on twitter from someone who claimed to know them that those people who got the shirt are actually Chelsea fans, so no surprises there. reckoned there'd be a fair few away fans in the stand, who probably went to one game last season when we were on our way up and could bring some merchandise they had got at those games to try and blend in.

'sake. What's happened to our fans?
My two lads went through huge amounts of piss-taking and bullying at school by kids who supported the big teams and ripped the piss out of my 2 for supporting Brighton in League 1. They held their heads high throughout, unlike all their friends they watched their team play week in and week out and the only football shirts they've ever wanted were BHA ones. I'm immensely proud of them for that, I can't tell you how much that means to me.
If either of them pulled a stunt like this it would genuinely break my heart because it means that they haven't grown to love our club like I have and all my mates have.

Same thing that's happened to fans of many clubs I guess.
Being distant from Brighton my lad took a bit of teasing for supporting a lower league club but he was ready to counter that with pointing out that he actually went to matches. Most of them other kids may not have had dad's with a team to guide them so took the safe way of supporting the successful top flight club.
Today's events were tacky, no question but the kid went home beaming. He should have been encouraged to put an Albion player's name on his sheet really. Its Hazard's fault, anyway. He should have just gone off. Now loads of kids are going to copy.

It was very cringey. The Dad really should be ashamed of himself.
I just don’t understand how a genuine Brighton fan can look that happy straight after being stuffed at home?
No real Albion fan would give the Amex a swerve because of the demographics of other home fans. That would be pathetic. Sorry.
Congrats, however, on your longest ever post. Although....odd to see what execises you. <shrug>
They couldn’t. Simple.
We learnt from the Palace cup game what our new found ‘support’ is really about.

This is what really irritated me, the oldish man and woman clapping and smiling and shouting “well done Eden” with their blue and white Brighton scarves around their necks. Where were they away at Chesterfield and Carlisle amongst others less than 10 years ago.

Don't over egg the pudding. You're starting to sound like I'm a better fan than anyone else"
Football is a partisan sport. If you want to applaud the opposition then off you fvck to the rugger or cricket. This is frankly embarrassing.
I mean, I get it. I've had the lecture. We need these people because they pay the wages of our amazing players and finance our success. Only that's bollocks. What they do is poison the atmosphere to the point where we're practically making the opposition a nice cup of tea and drawing them a route map to the goal.
STOP swapping shirts. STOP taking selfies. Kick the opposition on the pitch . Boo and whistle them off it. And get behind our lot. Our support was utterly pathetic today and this is just one of many embarrassing examples.

Doncaster away 96/97 season at Belle Vue, our fans ran on the pitch to protest with the Doncaster fans about their owners. We lost 3-0
So quite a new fan then, I get your sentiments now.
