[Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

Not true. Dion Conroy is club captain but has been out injured since pre season. When Dion is out, Jay is skipper. It was the same at the end of last season.

Exactly! How would fans on a train know what instructions the players were given?

Utter poppycock!

Some folk are getting a little hysterical about this. It’s football ffs, bad challenges and injuries are part and parcel of the game. He’ll probably (rightly) get a retrospective red for it. Time to move on, we’ve bigger fish to fry!

 

[SeagullinExile]

So you don’t recognise the Brighton boss in having much sense?

Hurzeler said the left ankle injury "does not look good".

"You can’t tackle like this," said the German.

"It is a tackle where you take a risk of an injury of another player."

What interview did he say that? I’ve yet to see it

Really? And is a retrospective Red card even a thing?

 

[Blue3]

Ultimately, for Matt O'Riley, that's irrelevant too.

He's got the same injury whether the player walks away unpunished, the ref sends him off or VAR gets involved to sort it out.

However not long after the O’Riley tackle for which Williams received no card he clatters Ensico which could easily have set Ensico‘s recovery back, had Williams received a card for the first tackle be that yellow it might have made him calm down a bit

 

[SeagullinExile]

Really? And is a retrospective Red card even a thing?

Yes. As long as the referee didn’t show a yellow.

Edit: By retrospective red, I mean the ban that goes with it! He obviously won’t be shown a red card!

Yep.

And, at the time, I posted this in a mate's chat thingummy....

"Indeed. No that it makes any difference to O’Riley’s injury.

Might have saved Enciso from the next lunge though."

Least upbeat I’ve ever been following a thrashing, hoping there will be good news on Matt tomorrow morning.

3 of the new players injured already !

Unbelievable

Unbelievable

Whos the third?

 

[Deadly Danson]

Whos the third?

I assume he means Gruda but he (like Wieffer) came with a slight injury.

I normally wake up in my make-up, so I guess we’re both screwed.

 

[Flounce]

Not sounding good, is it? Left the ground on crutches as he couldn’t put any weight on the foot.

'slight'

Zero sign of him in 2 weeks!!

Way he reacted looked like a bone break . One of those pains that just doesn’t ease .

His reaction said a lot

I’d take back at Xmas but fear will be worse

When I wake up in the morning, I leave her asleep

Let's not panic just yet. He's young and will need integration in any case and I'm sure they want to make sure he's 100% first.

Often happens as a precaution anyway

Looking forward to some special pleading from Crawley about how he isn’t that sort of player. It was a disgusting tackle. A lower league side clearly under orders to kick a premier league side. The commentators were discussing the Crawley physicality which was a plan to see if Brighton players fancied it. You can be physical without being reckless and dirty. That was disgraceful.

I will be amazed if we see him again before Christmas.
