Lowest since '97?

[Tooting Gull]

Coming back from Luton last night was grim. We were crap in the second half, play-offs look 50/50 at best, dodgy pen against, nailed-on pens for rejected by a piss-poor ref, no creativity, players who may be at the end of their Brighton sell-by date, poxy home fans and a bunch of Brighton fuckwits singing 'You're just a small town near Delhi' nearby. Well done lads. Tossers.

And hanging heaviest over it all the Falmer dream crumbling in front of our very eyes. Even a curry couldn't cheer me up, and that is virtually unprecedented.

Anyone know any good jokes?

 

[chips and gravy]

That chant was going on all around me. I was getting really p'd off by it - it wasn't funny, it just breeds resentment towards our fans from other clubs. At the mo we need all the goodwill we can get. This type of chanting goes beyond the normal banter

Yeah but the Bricklayers was a magic little pub. (Nice one MoH) I'll be frequenting that next season if (as is likely) we play them.

 

[Lammy]

I didn't hear that one?

 

[Tooting Gull]

Indeed, Simster. The 'old clique' mounting a mini-revival!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Small town near Delhi? Can someone enlighten a hungover Chappers as to why this was being sung?

 

[Simster]

The ground is in Bury Park, an ethnic area. And also Luton is very ethnic.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Yes, what a delightful, heart-warming experience it was to get texts during the game during the game from Luton fans about "our" fans' little BNP-friendly episode. This after we'd also sung "shit ground, no fans" at them- thereby, looking at their notice board this morning, losing any possibly sympathy and support from at least one of their fans, and probably a few hundred more of them.

And all this shite coming at a time when other people are busting their guts to try to win over support from other clubs' fans. And at a game with a club who have in the past been shafted almost as badly as us, and are in need of a new ground too.

Some "Albion fans" (please note the quotes) deserve Falmer not to happen.

 

[ditchy]

does anyone know who the guy in glases was who jumped up on the wall and was restrained when it all kicked off ..looked quite amusing as he was waving his wad at the ref !!

 

[Lammy]

I thought the most amuzing act of "outrage" was when a fan (who shall remain nameless) picked up a bunch of flowers and chucked them at the ref!! Class! The whole crowd is shouting abuse and one bloke is throwing him flowers! (Fortunately due to the high wind resistance of flowers they didn't make it to the pitch)

Honestly! You can't make this stuff up!

 

[Martlet]

Can't agree more MoH - stupid chanting, let's p*ss the opposition off right from the start, on the very day they've sent a bouquet of flowers for our new stadium, and some idiotic behaviour in the ground.

Incidentally, watched with interest as a prominent member of the Albion's reporting team dropped his fast food rubbish on the pavement, right outside Luton's stadium. And at a time when we're trying to persuade Falmer/Withdean residents that we're considerate and won't ruin their neighbourhood. Good effort, fella....

Sorry for sound like an old man....but how stupid?!

 

[balloonboy]

Yep, last night was bloody depressing, especially when you've got to drive all the way back to Somerset. However, this no way compares with 1997. Let's not get things out of perspective (yet).

 

[CHAPPERS]

What a buch of absolute FUCKS.

 

[empire]

have you never been to a away game before fuckwits you are indeed

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

At least there was a bit of atmosphere at the game, something that has been severely lacking this season. Personally I was proud to be an Albion fan. As for those who chanted "small town in Delhi" how is that racist I call that a sense of humour. I've heard far worse than that in the past.
