Danny Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Brighton as a club are very beige but I still love Maupay, expert shithouse
Danny Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 How did Grealish not get a card for that dive?
Danny Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 He got the ball first, clearly? How is that a penalty?
Dr. Gonzo Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 That’s not a fucking penalty, hope VAR gets this right
Danny Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Commentator is thick as shit, ball was clearly won first
Rick Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Solly March is a lucky lad. The way things have been this season I’m surprised he has overturned his own decision there. Good to see.
Danny Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Fair play to Oliver, very easy to refuse to be wrong and give that as a pen moments after he sent Lamptey off for a Grealish dive
Dr. Gonzo Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Deserved win for Brighton. Villa come out of this looking like a bunch of cheats tbh
Danny Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Grealish is 100% one of those players who makes you wish they’d set up a panel to discipline divers Infuriating at times to watch but we’ve all got players who do that
Dave Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 Fair play to Michael Oliver. He's going to get a lot of shit for that but its a relief to seeing common sense prevailing. Thought Aston Villa lacked a lot of the mental discipline that's served them well up until this point in the system. Jack Grealish didn't seem to want to track back in fear of that Lamptey smoke for example. Thought Brighton winning by the odd goal was deserved.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted November 21, 2020 Subscriber Posted November 21, 2020 If that had been given we might as well have all just called it a day.

Eh... not really, we’ve seen VAR incorrectly go with penalty decisions in worse incidents than that this season. It’s just reassuring to see common sense prevailed in this match. Although it’s shit for Brighton that Lamptey was sent off for a pretty bad dive from Grealish there. I don’t care that Grealish is English and very good. I can’t stand him at all.

This season is such a shambles again, arguably somehow even worse than last season, that it just shouldn't be the barometer. I don't see how you can give it. Brighton player got the ball, Trezeguet threw himself to the ground. That Peter Walton needs blasting into outer space. An ex Premier League referee saying "he had every right to go down". Is it just me who finds this seriously concerning? We are in a culture where even the officials are encouraging themselves to be conned. How the hell did it get this out of hand?

Just outright refused to call it a dive. He's shite anyway. BT would do well to get rid of him - he offers nothing.

We are in a culture where even the officials are encouraging themselves to be conned. How the hell did it get this out of hand? I was watching the Newcastle/Chelsea game. Mount received the ball with a player behind him and literally fell to the ground. I replayed it a few times. The referee literally blew within a millisecond of the ‘incident’. It’s almost programmed into the game now and the problem is it’s become totally accepted. Even by the player who hasn’t committed the foul. Genuine question, are they now teaching simulation on the training pitches? Because that’s how it feels. Every player does it.
DeadLinesman Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 And to add to this, I had to laugh when Bilic said “There is no reason for Conor Gallagher to go down without being fouled”. Players do it all over the pitch mate.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted November 22, 2020 Subscriber Posted November 22, 2020 It has definitely become accepted. I just don't get how nobody calls it out. Everybody knows it's wrong, the players do, the fans do, the officials do, and yet now everyone seems to just unanimously accept it - nobody in the media ever calls it out either.
