Re: Do you agree with todays pitch invasion and match abandonment?

I have had a banner made I hoping to get displayed at our Wolves game next Monday which is on TV. I don't know how to upload an image but it says Brighton Fans want Dia Yongge out Save Reading FC Fans United It's a small gesture but I hope that if they see fans of other clubs care, it may help. tha...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Dont know why, but i am just sensing a thawing, that statement in the sale was ever so slightly more definite and positive. I am feeling a chink of light. I don't trust a word the Club or Pang says. Dai is a mute but I wouldn’t trust him either. I'll only be positive when there is evidence of real ...

Re: Do you agree with todays pitch invasion and match abandonment?

I was on the fence, but having seen the reaction over the past couple of days you have to say it worked. So much coverage and more to come on various national podcasts I believe. Will it influence Dai, the EFL or government? I'm not optimistic, but we had to raise the agenda which has been achieved...

Re: Do you agree with todays pitch invasion and match abandonment?

For me its now really a case of do or die. By that i mean, Dai has to come out and make a statement, real commitment that he is selling the club, to confirm it is happening and the process is well underway. If there is silence this week, no statement along them lines, then i do really fear the worse...

Re: “ Sell before we Dai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group v2.3b sponsored by Sports Direct Tennis Ba

Organised protests have been a relative success with the main one being profile and raising awareness. With this latest announcement and looking at comments on Twitter etc I sense it will now get out of control and go very rogue. At that point it could get very embarrassing for the club and its fan ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Brighton & Hove Albion U21 (a)

What a dire game, particularly summed up in the second half and topped off with utter dire penalties. Everything just looked half arsed. Problem was, as the game went on and subs made we got progressively weaker versus there outfield players and academy vs academy you be backing Brighton. Just awful...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

The Cowley Brothers appointed by Colchester - looks like a very decent appointment for a club in their position - wouldn't have been against them coming to us in the summer. I commented awhile back that i spoke at length to Cowley around February 2023 time. He is managing his daughters football tea...

Re: Weekend Football

As a ref, paul, how would you feel about your performance being scrutinised to that extent, and indeed, changed? I'd be all for a procedure like in rugby - and football desperately needs a review system that applies to yellow cards resulting in reds. Diogo Jota's for example, where his first bookin...

Re: Weekend Football

with all the technology available now - yellow cards should be issued after the game once reviewed for clear diving incidents. Not sure on that one but some form of citing system similar to rugby could work i.e. a player is sanctioned for something missed at the time after the event. Could include ...

Re: Weekend Football

Just read that Darwin Nunez has taken 12 penalties in his career and scored them all. Mac Allister 10 of 11. Szoboszlai 16 of 17. Which makes it even weirder that Klopp has persisted with Salah, who has now missed 4 of his last 9, as Liverpool's penalty taker. If they do get a penalty whilst Salah ...

Franchise FC Apart from the win against Villa, how does Ten Hag still have a job ?


Massive severance be my guess. Incredibly lucky to be still in a job, but hope he stays.

Re: The Non - League thread

Crowd of over a thousand today at Basingstoke to see them play out a battling 0-0 draw. Salisbury missed a penalty (it was dreadful) but were far the better team with wave of attack after attack yet Basingstoke could have won it at the end. Basingstoke have not won in ages, decimated with injuries a...

In and out of the team towards end of season, scored a few goals, Shanghai won the league so championship medal under their belt. Assume he is staying for another season.
