    How many Albion fans today?

    800ish I reckon.

    Highlights up - That "challange" on Painter....

    And I've just watched the BBC highlights (No Sedgwick tackle unfortunately), but we seem to be ignoring the fact that El Abd dragged Mellor down for what should have been a penalty and a booking before he got pushed. Oh, and due to me being sat at the other end of the ground I didn't realise...

    Highlights up - That "challange" on Painter....

    And I can understand your frustration mate but pushing someone in the chest isn't a red card. It's being a petulant little girl who can't control their temper, which is deserving of a talking to or a yellow card depending on the ref. No it's not violent conduct, when has a push in the chest...

    Highlights up - That "challange" on Painter....

    I still haven't seen the replay of Sedg's tackle so I'll stick to saying it was hard but fair. The Mellor incident - a push to the chest is ALWAYS a yellow card. If you think otherwise you're wrong. People don't get sent off for handbags (and most people don't go down like the handbag hit them...

    Today's ref...

    If I see it on TV and it turns out that it was a shockingly bad tackle I'll come back here and hold my hands up. And yeah we're never going to agree on the last point because no matter how much we try to be impartial there's always going to be at least some impact from the Wednesday/Brighton...

    Adam El Abd - Pathetic

    Personally I'd be embarrassed. Last season we had a dutch winger called Etienne Esajas, he only dived once for us, because he did it right infront of the Kop and it was so blatant half of the ground started shouting at him "GET UP YOU f***ing GIRL" and the like. It's all relative really, I'd...

    Today's ref...

    Our manager was right infront of it and said it was a good but hard tackle. Irvine doesn't bullshit, he tells it as it is. If it had've been a nailed on red card the absolute best thing he would've said would've been something along the lines of "Chris being a bit lucky there" and "He's not that...

    Adam El Abd - Pathetic

    Pretty sure pushing in the chest is a yellow card offence at best mate, when you go throat upwards it becomes a red. Which is why what El Abd was doing was trying to con the ref into sending Mellor off, thankfully the lino saw it and made sure it was just a yellow. Stupid on Mellor's part...

    Today's ref...

    Yes, a meaty one. He went in hard but won the ball. I didn't think it was two footed either (although I was equally as far away from it as you because I sit on the kop so don't quote me on that). Unfortunately the Football League Show highlights were utter shite as usual so we didn't get to see...

    Might as well give up on this season now

    To be fair you were missing a couple of key players against arguably the strongest squad in the division. We had 3 nailed on starters out (Morrison, Jermaine Johnson, Miller) but it's probably still fair to say we looked comfortable. You had some good spells though and had me worried, we're...

    Does Flappergren inspire confidence ?

    I thought he looked seriously dodgy, I was screaming for us to put more pressure on him whenever he had the ball because he looked like he would've messed up at some point.

    Wednesday fans are bitter.

    Like all your mates have said, you were lucky. If you'd been nearer to one of our less emotionally balanced fans you'd have likely got your face rearranged. I hate losing with a passion, but I'm bright enough that I know not to slag off the locals outside their ground. Another day and you...

    Today's ref...

    If you think Mellor should've been sent off you either don't know the rules or you're blinded by bias. He pushed him in the chest and your guy went down like he'd taken a shotgun blast to the face. If anyone should've been sent off in that incident it should've been El Abd for embarrassing your...
