[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Grimsby Town *** Official Match Thread ***

[A1X]

How can VAR check whether the keeper picked up the ball outside the area? That wouldn't have been a penalty - so what's VAR doing getting involved? Potential red card for deliberate handball??

Yes for the Red card

 

[Billy in Bristol]

Missing Pervis overlaps

The bold I think. I believe a keeper becomes an outfield player when they leave their area.

 

[OzMike]

How did he miss that !

 

[oldboyroy]

Should of been 2 nil with Mitoma

 

[Si Gull]

That was way too close from Sanchez......and how did Mitoma miss that?

 

[Swansman]

Well you have to say that is very very nice to allow the boys to have 11 players on the pitch because that certainly looks like a dead on red card

 

[Reddleman]

Any fan saying this is done is an entitled twat who doesn’t understand football or the history of our club.

 

[OzMike]

Sanchez feet stayed in the penalty area.

 

[oldboyroy]

Come on lads need to score another and put this to bed

 

[Zeberdi]

It's not complacency though

not yet and they need to avoid it by keeping up the pre-goal momentum- mistake from Sanchez and a bad miss from Mitoma.

Grimsby are also defending very well - not parking the bus because they are 0:1 down ( you only park the bus to play for a draw)

Some of the ball was above the line.

Anyone who says it isn't doesn't understand the difference between Premier League and League Two.

Lacklustre performance so far, passing game is off and not enough urgency.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Mitoma having an absolute stinker.

 

[Swansman]

Liverpool might want to sign that Grimsby right back

Turning into a bit of a damp squid after the early goal.

Ladies winning 2-0 in their Quarter Final Cup match.

That better be a joke
