Visually challenged? I am quite difficult to look at, yes. Also, consider my view. I was right at the other end, so maybe my opinion is doubly flawed, considering my blue and white striped shirt! The goalkeeper is a normal player out on the pitch, if there's a player behind then it's not a "professional foul" and therefore it is a yellow card, not a red one. Didn't Danny Wilson say as much himself? I saw something on our forum suggesting he had.
That's not what I'm saying at all, but the goalkeeper did have players behind him (I think, I might change my mind when I see it on the Football League show), so I think that has to come into consideration. I wouldn't have moaned about the red card, don't get me wrong, I think we've been very lucky. But I can understand the referee's opinion in giving a yellow card and not a red one.

Bold bit, just wrong. You can have as many players beyond the foul as you like, but if it's an obvious goal scoring opportunity then he has to walk - of course, that is in the referees opinion. Think about a foul on the edge of the 18 yard box, keeper in his net - the keeper is covering the defender right?...defender always walks though. Or for x amount covering, there could be several covering the posts, but if they are on the posts they aint gonna cover the centre of the goal are they. People need to look at several factors before saying red or yellow not just 'oh but there were 17 billion beyond the foul covering'.

Anyway, i'm much loved on this forum, and i don't have a west country accent so must only have started to support town when we started to play well, and i'm a bullying cunt. Please, ignore everything i say.

It was hard to get a good perspective of the Ankergren incident from the far end but it looked like Austin was going away from goal. At the end of the day it comes down to the refs opinion and he felt yellow. Amanwankah could have got sent off for lashing out at Bennett anyway.

El abt's challenge was by far the the most redcardworthy event in the game.

I can understand why the ref could bottle it and not send wankergran off, but there was simply no excuse for not sending El Abt off.

El abt has a fucking stupid name by the way.

I disagree, I respect what you're saying and understand your point. But I think the key point about the whole thing, is that the referee was hopeless and bottled sending him off. We can talk about rules as much as we like, and debate the point.. but ultimately, the referee's decision was probably based on not wanting to send someone off. Might I suggest the linesman was on that side and should have helped the ref?

You can be whoever you want to be, welcome to the internet.

I forgot that the camera is in the Don Rogers. Seriously, I sit right below the gantry at the Withdean, I like the highlights being from my view. It seems weird seeing those highlights from the other side!

Ninja Elephant... fair play for reasoned and intelligent posts but I can't agree re: The County Ground game last year - you could easily have got a draw but we missed chance after chance at 1-0 and could have been 3 or 4 up before you created those two late chances which were both fluffed.

2nd goal today = offside.

After watching it again and again and pausing my sky plus I'm not certain.

Cuthbert is late coming out but its alot closer than I originally thought. He's onside before the ball is played and offside after the ball is played but I cant seem to exactly pause it at the exact moment the ball is actually kicked.

Gordon Greer was making a wanker gesture at you (allegedly) Dave.

Thank you.
I've repressed much of the match, and I can't remember too much of the first half. But I do remember all the chances we wasted toward the end, it was all right in front of my in the Arkells. I'll never get over Liam Dickinson hitting the side netting, when scoring was easier. That was thoroughly disappointing. Today we were lucky, so in my mind it has balanced out. I know that's irrational, but that's football!

I can't agree about that, obviously! It seemed onside to me at the time, and having seen it just now on the Football League show, I still think it was onside. But then, I'm a Brighton fan. So it's easier for me to see it!

Cheers Ninja - refreshing to get a sensible, balanced away viewpoint on here. Normally it's nought but dickhead chavs babbling inane text speak and using loads of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your new ground is coming on quite well - it will be nice to not have to visit an American High School Athletics stadium in 2011/12 as a travelling fan.

Top six for both Town and Brighton I expect.

To be honest, I have more reason than most to be balanced. A good friend of mine is a Swindon season ticket holder, and we talk mostly about football! So I've been kept abreast of events at the County Ground for the last 5 years or so. That, and the fact that I'm a bit of a footballing whore anyway. I'm a fan of the game, as well as Brighton. I follow quite a few teams with an interest, yourselves being one of them. I'm a bit unusual.

It'll be nice to have a proper ground for away fans to visit. It is embarrasing that we play where we do, and it's even more embarrasing that we've been without a proper home for 13 years now, it'll be 14 when we kick off at Falmer. And it's even MORE embarrasing that we might not start next season with a home game, because the Gay Pride parade is always this weekend!  :gay: But then, you'd expect us to have that sort of problem!

Hopefully, we'll meet in the play-off final, rather than the semis. The relationship I have with my friend is pretty much recovered now, but I'm not sure it could bear the strain of another play-off duel... so on second thoughts, I'd rather we didn't meet in the play-offs!

[Meth Test]

Please don't mention it... I am still not quite over Withdean 04.

I can cope with Brighton a lot better post-Leon Knight though. Jesus I hated that midget. Is it true he hasn't scored a goal for two years or something?

Why's that embarrassing? You never do because of pride and most teams are out of a hat, so surely it shouldn't be any different?

If we meet in the play-offs I know, for an absolute fact, that if your fans act with the lack of class they showed last time, I will level Brighton with all the explosives I can muster. My occasional friendly dislike of you would descend into unadulterated murder. I think many of our fans will always hate you a bit for that.
