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

[Icy Gull]

My biased observations

Moder must be cursed (edit, saw there was already a thread on this after I posted )
McTominay is a thug and was lucky to still be on the pitch at the end
Trossard is not over Covid
The ref was a homer
Cracking goal from Ronaldo, so obvious that we’d be the team he broke his barren spell against

Unreasonably pissed off with that result

 

[portslade seagull]

Cantor seems to think that Webster picked up a possible injury. Did he look troubled or in discomfort

 

[Dorset Seagull]

The reason we had a sloppy first 10 in the 2nd half was because we assumed united were not going to press us as they hadnt up till then. As soon as we were put under pressure we panicked and were unable to move the ball quickly enough. Thats what cost us the game

1 always has been for stopping a goal scoring chance unless dangerous

Yes, but this is Brighton against a 'big' club. Three games it is then ...............................

Lee Hendrie has been following the match on SSN - did very well I thought. Very positive about us, better team and all that, sending off changed the game, United were ruthless when they had half a chance (which, TBF they were). Lawro was far from being anti-Brighton on 5Live Extra too (BTW, did he actually predict a 2-0 win for United? Clueless, obvs.....)

 

[One Love]

No he wasn’t.

But anyway, even if you do genuinely believe that Webster has super human powers to get back to him, it’s hardly a disgraceful decision is it when the majority of people and all neutrals think it’s a red?!

You must hang around a lot of Man U supporters, all the neutrals I know didn't think it was a red.

1st half was OK.
10 min of 2nd half = tragedy.
After that: match 10 against 12 = I was so proud
Red card? 'come on guys... Just coz ****ing Utd

 

[zefarelly]

Dunk won't ever learn, he makes decisions based on calculations which have questionable results.

3 points from 2 games is better than 2.

Moder improving by the week.

 

[Amexarmadillo]

I think we need a poll

“For example, a sending off due to a second yellow card will result in a one-match ban, as will a red card received for a professional foul”.

Not sure any Manure supporters can come away from that thinking 4th is secured tho

He looked in a bit of pain when he stretched his leg out to win the ball in the box late on, maybe it was that? Fingers crossed nothing major, last thing we need is Webbo out injured again.

 

[WATFORD zero]

So how many games is Dunk out for

Definitely 5 or 7

Remember when Lee Hendrie played for us? Ex England international,
We were in dreamland!

Looked like he overstretched a sliding tackle and was holding his groin before the corner was taken

With Dunk out on Saturday it would leave us a little thin if Webster is also missing

The fact that it's up for debate is enough to show its not a clear and obvious error. End of story

No it’s not. VAR didn’t overrule the ref - they suggested he might want to have a look at it again which he did and obviously he felt had made an error so changed his decision.

I hate VAR and wish it had never come in but the implementation there was absoutely fine and we can have no complaints. The correct decision was ultimately made in the end.

 

[macbeth]

Its the Manure thing isn't it.??......me tooo!!

yep. realised as I've gotten older that they're not just a standard ****erish top six team, but actually a completely different level of insufferable. only other club who come even vaguely close to palace for me

 

[Pavilionaire]

In this instance VAR only gives the ref an opportunity to take another look, its got nothing to do with the VAR or the official, totally a ref decision.

I think the last 10 times VAR has told the ref to check the screen he's reversed his decision. Make no mistake, VAR is still calling the shots.

TBH, no I don't. Had to Google to check you weren't on a wind up!

No, it wasn't. We were ****ed over by the officials again.

I wouldn't form too many opinions on the basis of what Andy Townsend thinks to be honest mate

Who said anything about Andy Townsend? I’m talking about everyone. Only some one eyed Brighton fans don’t think that’s a red.
