[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United *** Official Match Thread ***

[Ethelwulf]

Ayari has improved but he is a bit of a weak pussy

 

[macbeth]

Good result given they had a man advantage

 

[HeaviestTed]

Just got to beat on-fire Wolves, champions Liverpool and Europa League-finalists (maybe) Spurs to maybe even have the chance of European football that will be crushed by Palace beating City in the FA Cup anyway

Simple

 

[Gabbafella]

Great result for Pawson. f***ing helmet.

 

[-gully-]

Awful Ref, should never have been a free kick that led to the penalty. He gave them everything

 

[Ethelwulf]

Crap defending and how did Ayari miss such a fantastic chance ?

Some really poor moments in this match - if it wasn’t for Bart we’d be 2 goals down.

At this stage of the season and a match where we are fighting for eight to get into Europe, this is second half was simply not good enough.

Too much shithousery going on on both sides and not enough clinical football.

2 points dropped for unenforced errors:

Gomez missed

 

[Marxo]

Missed opportunity.

 

[allystrat]

Not enough of a contribution from Adringa and Welbeck going forward today.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Game over, season over.

Just a daft statement.

 

[Bodian]

Not disheartened by that really. A draw was a fair result - and apart from one moment of sheer madness from Ayari I felt that our defending was a notch above recent months. Definitely fought well, and stuck to it.

 

[Peteinblack]

Roll on summer

 

[BevBHA]

It’s official. That is the worst refereeing performance I’ve ever seen. Forget the penalties I’m still Lost for words that Dan Burns assault on Minteh in the first half in front of the dug outs wasnt even deemed a foul!

 

[Driver 8]

So in fact cheats DO prosper.

 

[Mike Small]

Ayari’s action has cost us. He can’t be there and do that.

 

[JBizzle]

No surprises that they got a pen. Pawson had been gagging to give them one all afternoon. Awful performance as per

 

[Alex BH]

Terrible second half lucky to get a point. Probably never get a better a chance to get into Europe in 8th place and we’re not up to it

 

[Mustafa II]

Good point, decent enough performance.

Gomez really should have won it at the end. Silly from Ayari. But we got a fair bit of luck today at times.

Think we can be satisfied with a point - as our chances of Europe are still very much still on.

Alternatively it's 13th placed Wolves, on the beach Liverpool and 4 days after their potential final 16th place Spurs

 

[Dick Head]

Coach is just arriving, have I missed much?

He's late, Hürzeler out!

 

[maltaseagull]

No surprise Bart dives the wrong way. No complaints about the pen, apart from the fact that the free kick was a dive.

Radio commentary said no foul..Why doesn't VAR overrule that?
