[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City *** Official Match Thread ***

[Steve in Japan]

Nice. Gotta keep going now

 

[WhingForPresident]

O'Riley having a good game.

Why are the refs so useless when it comes to clear and obvious, and the time they take to make decisions even after it’s bleedin clear and obvious?

 

[fruitnveg]

I think Matt has played well, dunno why people are shitting on him. He's been out of the team, not fully up to speed and has done admirably well today. Even against P***** he did his job; we were noticeably worse when he came off.

Unrelated aside, we cannot rely on penalties to win games. Have to start taking our chances.

 

[Steviewonder]

Bit lucky with that pen imo.

 

[papachris]

Blatant pen … ref should’ve seen it.

Both of them. So blatant. How the ref didn't give it in real time. He is literally using VAR as a backup, because he us afraid to make a controversial decision

 

[el_ciddy]

Going for another embarrassing hattrick of pens like Kluivert

 

[GT49er]

Yep. But will it be given?

Oh come on, VAR have got to have their five minutes in the spotlight - if they couldn't do that someone might just decide VAR wasn't worth bothering with and ditch it.

 

[Marty McFly]

O'Riley having a good game.

Finding some good chances. Keep the faith - he'll get the third!

Bit lucky with that pen imo.

Living up to your name there Stevie.

 

[Han Solo]

Glad we got another penalty converted. But I'd love to see us score in open play.

I know. I'm asking a lot.

Couldn't care less about how we score right now but I definitely want a better reaction than after we scored the last goal and just fell into some sleepy "nice, we've won"-stuff.

 

[GT49er]

Two more pens and I'll feel confident.

The only way we score these days, isn't it?

 

[Hendrax]

astonishing we've needed the 2 pens to be ahead here but i'll take it.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Minteh, what the f***?!

 

[oldboyroy]

Blatant pen … ref should’ve seen it.

Yet bbc saying it wasn't enough of a shirt pull?

 

[Bodian]

Ref has had an absolute shocker not giving that. VAR bailing us out thankfully.

Yes. I'm not a VAR fan at all - but I wonder whether the presence of VAR makes the refs less likely to give penalties? Both of those were so blatantly obvious that the ref should have seen them. He was well placed and looking the right way both time - how did he miss them? And then why did he take so long looking at them on the VAR screen as well?

 

[Si Gull]

Oh God, Minteh misses again!

Going for another embarrassing hattrick of pens like Kluivert

I'd be more than happy to be embarrassed like that every week.

 

[maltaseagull]

Blatant pen … ref should’ve seen it.

Commentator saying about timing of release of the shirt. WTF. It's a foul whenever.

13-1 what a game
