At 8 o'clock, Sky Sports News announced the one minutes silence, in line with the rest of the media, and the country - and then went straight into adverts! Of all the c**tish behaviour!
Looks like somebody recognosed what a c*** they'd made of themselves - they came back on and announced that...
The 'yoof' playing away to Everton today. Half an hour in, and it's still 0-0.
Once again, this fixture is being played at the same time as a PL match, so not allowed to be screened. Annoying rule, I know - but why don't we just pick kick off times and dates that don't clash? I enjoyed watching...
Ross Barkley has been released by Chelsea and is now a free agent. Two or three years ago I'd have loved to have him at the Albion, but considered he was out of our league, but now ............?
Wages might be an issue, given where he's played. Maybe he and his agent still believe he will walk...
This season's loanees, for reference (latest updates in red): updated as per 1st. Feb. 2023.
(Update - 22 players out on loan - 12 of them (starred) left The Albion at the end of the season).
James Beadle - on loan at Crewe Alexandra (League 2);
*Aaron Connolly - on loan at Venezia (Serie B)...
Just had a security alert - right in the middle of using NSC - warning me not to proceed with NSC - risk to all sorts of details, including credit cards, etc. Came out of NSC, and went to re-enter - same message. Something about its certificate.
Eventually over-ruled the warning, entered NSC...
With so much interest (among some of us) about the future of our returning loanees, and speculation about other youngsters going out on loan, I thought it might be an idea to have an inclusive thread about this, rather than separate threads cropping up for every player and every rumour...
Great! The match galleries, the press review - and apparantly the match commentaries - are now going to be 'Apps exclusive', whatever that means.
I registered for MyAlbionTV so I can (could?) listen to the commentaries - but now apparantly I have to update my App on IOS (if I've got one) or...
The U23s have just kicked off at Spurs. Is there a stream anywhere, does anyone know?
Ben Jackson at LCB in a three - haven't heard of him before - any info? AZGull, where are you when we need you!
Now that Webster is not available again (and his obvious replacement is playing for the opposition) anyone fancy a crack at out-guessing GP for the team selection? Mwepu not available yet either. Here's my first wild guess:
Sanchez
Veltman - Dunk - Duffy - Cucurella
Moder - Lallana - Biss -...
Something has been reported in numerous press sources - not random whatsup, snapchat or Twatter entries. Despite these being firmly in the public domain, somebody on NSC is determined to censor any mention of certain articles in the Daily Fail, The Times, MSN etc.
If there's a good reason for...
Talley in goal - McGill moving to first team squad tomorrow if Steele still injured and Scherpen maybe off on moan.
No Leonard or Ferguson in the team, so on the bench tomorrow - Offiah too, if recovered from injury? Surprised Turns isn't on standby for tomorrow too, with all our CB injuries...
So Arsenal have Xhaka suspended, and have sent two youngsters on the fringes of the first team out on loan when they could have delayed that for a week or two - and now they want a match postponed because they've got a weekened squad. Typical Arsenal entitlement. I understood that emergency...
Right, so we've got eighteen players (by my count) out on loan, mostly for development purposes. So, who will/might be/can be recalled, whose loans will be cancelled by mutual consent? Will any of them sign for their present clubs, either for a fee or a pre-contract agreement? Who is likely to...
Lot of 'RIP' threads around at the moment - here's another.

RIP Ron Flowers, another of the World Cup squad gone.
..... but the Albion website doesn't seem very interested! Just the teams and the scorer (Ferguson - we're winning 1-0).
https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/match/69859#line%20ups
Not even a live text commentary. Disappointing.........
Edit: Ferguson's scored again - 2-0 now.
Anybody watching? - can't see a match thread.
Apologies if I'm missing one - please merge or scrap if there is another one.
Edit: Wow! I can (07/11/2023)
Anybody else having problems with this today? When I try to use it it brings up the post - but without any of the text showing! Difficult to correct a typo (I do rather a lot of them!) on a blank page!
