Match Thread Brighton 0-1 Everton. Sat January 25th. 3pm

[OneTrueLegend]

Still trying to get my head round why it took so long to award the penalty. Unbelievable.

I never expect anything from VAR, the human element mess it up all the time.
I was expecting them to come back and say that Beto had fouled their defender and pushed his arm onto the ball, free kick to Brighton.

not doucoure?

not yet, first sub though.

 

[lieneverton]

Lads hear me out. If it stays like this, do we want Leicester to beat Spurs?

Thanks for confirming our defeat.

Missed his celebration what did he do / what is a seagull celebration?

Surely not the like the Albanian eagle one is it? If so when was that so touchy for Brighton fans?

I don't think it is touchy. Quite funny. Maybe for cupping his hand to his ears.
No idea what the rules for anything these days.
The Brighton fans need something to get excited about because they've played as badly as us.

A lucky pen who would have ever guessed? (Back of defender's arm hit Beto, pushing it Ffrward and causing contact....ohhhh, controversial).

Was 100% a pen, he was trying to get a free kick making out he was pushed.

Night and day to what Dyche delivered - a game plan with desire and workrate.

Made Brighton look ordinary, hope we carry on second half. Another goal would be luvly.

Horrible feeling we'll be seeing Harrison quite early today with Jespers yellow.

Think Harrison still has it in him to be a decent sub. Just not enough quality to be starting games against fresh opposition.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Some worrying attacking options on the bench for Brighton. Hopefully we can fluke another one and then hope Moyes makes better subs than last week.

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Audio needs releasing of that VAR room to explain why it took so long for them to realise their fella punched the ball out for a corner. Should have taken all of 10 seconds, ending up taking 3 minutes.

Crazy stuff. Dutch commentator over here on Viaplay also trying to defend Veltman. Probaly because he's Dutch. Maybe he should've gotten a free kick instead because he was pushed. Yeah, or maybe Veltman should opt for a non contact sport instead. Clear penalty, all day long!

Long way to go but decent gap between us and the bottom 3 if we hang on

Already wondering if we can catch united

 

[BigBeto1]

Didn’t expect much here so can’t complain. Hopefully we can nick a second early on

 

[f.t.r.s]

Karma for the michael Keane pen that

 

[Curtis]

Thought we've been decent except for Doucoure, if you made a drinking game where you had to take a shot everytime he lost possession of the ball you'd need your stomach pumped from alcohol poisoning

Already wondering if we can catch united

Newcastle?

 

[Macker07]

At the game, the Albion fans are going nuts at Pickford's time wasting

And don't tell Dave, but Moyes is wearing his off brand coat again...bad man

Daves head will explode
