Whoever it is that is abusing Stockdale on Twitter should be ashamed of themselves. I thought our fans were better than that.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Stockdale
- Thread starter Mutts Nuts
- Start date
Is he/she definitely an Albion fan? A BBC tv prog recently mentioned that spurs groups getting trolled on twitter, by alleged other spurs fans with opposing views, could quite possibly be fans of other clubs. Who knows over the internet.

Well no you cannot tell, but as they retweet just about everything Brighton related, they must be a really sad case if they are not an Albion fan!

Similar to those who blame him for everything. You are pathetic. Nobody claims Stockdale has not made mistakes but idiots like you pretty much blame him every time we concede a goal whether he could have done anything about it or not (even if you weren't at the game and haven't seen it).
Only six teams have conceded less than us in the league. On the other hand, only five teams have scored less. It doesn't take a genius to work out Stockdale is not the reason we're struggling down the bottom (and nor is the defence), yet it is beyond people like you.
Well it was'nt his fault we scored!

I blame Cantor, it seems that almost every time we concede, he subtlety blames the keeper. Our merry band of radio fans on the match thread then jump on the same old bandwagon.
Once again, when fans that were at the game come on, it proves to be wrong again.
Never stops them though.

I don't like it either but also don't think DS should be replying. He replied to the 'We Are Brighton' tweet that was sent in the actual game and he wasn't even tagged in bit wanted a row. He should be more professional and ignore it or spend less time on Twitter imo.
As for the bloke 'abusing' him today - it's not actually that bad at all compared to other trolling ive seen on Twitter.
And DS really should have done much better on that 2nd goal - deflection or no deflection...

I agree he should not get involved.
He has also got a lot of support from other fans as well, but ultimately, I do not get twitter and do not understand why someone in the public eye would want to go on there as, as far as I can tell, the negatives outway the positives. But each to their own.
It was Halford.

Anybody watching the highlights cannot deny that it was definitely a fumble by Stockdale after very poor defending by our defenders. Interesting point is that nobody other than Greer appealed for offside when surely a player standing on the goal line had to be offside yes the pass went backwards but the shot on goal which followed didnt.

If the pass went backwards then logically, he can't be offside, can he?

That was my point 2 moves. 1 to pass back put that player onside irrespective but the 2nd move was his shot and when he took it a Wigan player was standing next to DS so would have been in his vision and perhaps distracted him and his concentration. To my way of thinking it was offside, not that it matters now but takes some of the blame from DS.

I think it was so close that for him to do anything other than parry it would be asking a lot.
It might be hard to find someone who never admits Stockdale has made a mistake, but I think in every thread that has blamed him for a goal, there has been at least one person arguing he did nothing wrong (which, admittedly, is quite easy and fair for some of those threads given how quick some people are to blame him), which gives the impression there are people who refuse to admit he did anything wrong.

Only the top six teams have conceded fewer goals than us. You can go through Stockdale's big errors and his big saves and say this one cost us those points, this one gained us these points. I know, I did it ( if you're interested). But look at that list above. We're as low as we are because of our inability to score.

Is that the case now?
I thought it was right when I was playing all those years ago, but there seems to be nothing in Law 11 now about being onside if the ball is played backwards (irrespective of where the player is).
Maybe you didn't watch the highlights yourself.
He wasn't on the goal line, and he wasn't offside.
(sorry about the poor pic)

i think your picture is fractionally too early when watching on FL Show he was definitely level with DS when DS tried to make the save but it is difficult to see where he was when the shot was taken but Greer, who was our nearest player, did raise his arm. As I say not that it matters but could have had an affect on DS out of the corner of his eye.

I hate having to listen to Johnny Cantor when I cannot get to matches, as you can't tell where the ball is on the pitch half of the time.
