Brighton Match Reports

Well 1-0 to the Bees at half-time. A great goal by Rowlands from 18 yards. I have been listening to the Brighton commentary and they seem to be saying that we have completely outplayed them in the 1st half and we should and could have been 3-0 up by now.

Lets hope the second half will be as good!!!
 

Brighton Match Reports

They have changed to a 4-4-2 formation in the second half and seem to be running us ragged. Oli fumbled a shot on the greasy surface and Steele slid it in for them.

1-1

I'm too nervous to listen to commentary so I'm watching the sporting life vidiprinter. I see the BBC's invision page and rolling scores aren't working.
Football aside, my roads are all blocked off outside with gun fire incident

SBB, I think it's time we think about scheduling this year's visit to Dan Tana's for dinner to celebrate. What do you think?

well done Stevie C -Keep going Ron - EXCELLENT result the QPha crowd is going to be a sellout - YOU REDSSSSSSSS!!!!!
 

Brighton Match Reports

I have to say that the view from row E in the away stand was piss-poor. Hard to judge what was going on at the far end as everything was foreshortened into what looked like 3 feet, but was in fact 20 yards.

We should have had another goal in the first half when O'Connor beat Cullip to a through ball, but Cullip dived and conned the ref.

Lloyd was full of running and energy tonight and gave Brighton loads to deal with. Zamora was a handful - certainly the most difficult opponent that Powell has had this season (including Alan Shearer).

Rowlands goal looked to be a good one, as he took the ball past several Brighton players before shooting past the keeper from the corner of the 18 yard box. But I'd need to see it on TV to be sure how good it was.

Ivar took his goal well, capitalising on Watto's mistake. Last season he had several opportunities like this and kept fluffing the chance in the area. Tonight he made no mistake and buried it with his left peg. Whereupon he ran towards the Bees fans, leaping the advertising hoardings, running across the running-track and lapped up the adulation from the fans. Nice one Ivar!

Overall I thought we deserved it, as we defended very well and created openings and lots of good, attacking football, even though I suspect that we had only 40% possession.
 

Brighton Match Reports

I think we deserved to win, the team looked organised and composed for most of the game (bar the first 10 minutes after the break when Brighton changed formation)

The stadium was awful...our temporary stand was wobing and creaking throughout

the view wasn't too bad for the close goal, but the far end was tooooooooo far!

The best bit was that my brighton-supporting history teacher was sitting right in front of me in the Brentford end

And now she will never hear the end of it

Sounds great. However, we now have a 9 week old Golden Retriever puppy, so scheduling is a wee bit more complicated than it used to be. How about linking up in Santa Barbara on a Saturday instead? That way, we can leave the pup at home instead of having to take him with us? Let me know what works for you.
 

Brighton Match Reports

I manage to blag a ticket off my Seagull supporting mate so had an equally piss poor view from the North stand, leading to a few heated moments as a drunk, bald man jumped out of his seat as super Martin Rowlands bladdered it in from the edge of the box to put us 1-0 up in a 1st half bossed by us. Brighton changed thier formation at half time and came at us. I thought Brighton looked very dangerous when they got the ball wide, but didnt do it enough. The Bees were clinging on at times whilst still causing problems of our own on the break. I think we shaded it and fully deserved the 3pts.
Off to work now got to get done before the game, ENG-GER-LAND
 

Brighton Match Reports

Sounds like we got a better view from Beesotted chat!!!
 

Brighton Match Reports

Sounds like a great game. Unfortunately, I couldn't even make the commentary. Somebody mentioned earlier the formation. Can someone confirm how we lined up please? Would look interesting how Coppell will accommodate Rowlands & Price. Thanks

Yeah, I got stuck as well Anthony - got there just before kick off, but the M25 was a car park.

Enjoyed the game, although the withdean was far worse than I'd imagined. I was in row B and the Brighton half of the pitch in the first half looked like it was about 6 foot deep. I thought Gibbo, Powell, Ingimarsson, Mahon and Rowlands were the best of a solid Brentford side. Owusu was disappointing and lacked commitment. Have I missed something about Burgess - was he injured?

got a call up for Eire U21's, dunno if he played for them or not, they beat Cyprus 3-0...
 

Brighton Match Reports

Ben played the last 25 minutes for the Irish.

I couldn't make the game last night or be near a computer but Capital Gold had live commentary on the whole match and were full of praise.

Tony Gale said Darren & Ivar were superb in keeping Zamora quiet, that Martin's goal was brilliant and that there was no diving or cheating in the game which was really entertaining.

I am really excited about this result. The home results have been impressive but going somewhere like that and pulling off a result like that really shows we mean business.

I'm not getting carried away and know it's early in the season but if we can keep this side together then we have a great chance of promotion.

Wish I'd bet on us at 50/1 back in August!!

Just heard what Ivar said after he got the winner after their ex-Bee cocked it up for them."It's elementary my dear Watson."

I saw you standing up near the end Tommy, and you probably had one of the best views in the house where you were! I was in row J and the view was really really poor. I don't mind being near pitch level, as long as you're actually naked-eye distance from the pitch!

Did anyone stay on in Brighton after the game? Me and the missus pitched up in the reasonably priced and well located Premier Lodge. Then made our way down to the Honeyclub on the seafront where I endeavoured to sing Brentford songs of celebration whilst dancing to the sounds of the Carwash! A top top night!

Just got back now !!! We stayed down 4 a house party last night which was 'busted' by the environmental health at 1am

Party carried on but without music was a bit restrained.

All in all with the bees and england a top weekend away !!!!

Another case for NOT having all-seater grounds.Our support was pathetic,generally speaking.For a team 2nd in the league 75% of our 700+ turn-out looked like they couldn't give a toss if we were winning or losing.The traditional 30 or 40 somethings did their best and I was pleased to see some young ladies giving it large as well.Quite frankly,I don't know why some people bother going
confused.gif

How that ground got sanctioning from the FL is beyond me.Another death trap for away fans,piss poor facilities and an awful view for £16.50.
A clip joint

We played pretty well apart from a 20 minute spell in the 2nd half where we couldn't get the ball.Brighton looked ordinary to me!
But our encouragement from the stands/terraces must improve!!

oh poor you!
i was in row s and couldn't see all of rowly's run or what happened for their goal.
good grief their ground is crap. atmosphere disappered into the heavens, what you get with open grounds. i hope wembly will do away with unnecessary running tracks. being almost pitch side at the brook road end is much better than some crows nest position, without complimentary binoculars.
oh, and did some brighton bloke steal the studs from our boots. we were worse than bambi on ice skates.

great game, BTW, first half, they only had one decent chance with training ground move that zamora hit straight at oli, otherwise bees defence was sound. we looked really useful on the counter, and dare i say it, gibbo wasn't crap. infact he did a few things constructive like pass to his team mates, almost score with a belter, and worked well down the left in a prefered advanced position. and on the right, rowly played like a b@st@rd, and scored an apparently decent goal (which i couldn't see)
second half, they changed things about as someone has noted and looked good. they showed that pricey isn't really a right back, frequently attacking down our left. theri goal was lucky, but came after a fair bit of pressure. but we fought back, gav assured in midfield, and ivar godlike at the back. he scored a decent goal capitalising on a schoolboy error and travelling bees went bananas. the ref, i think played 14 mins of injury time or so it seemed but we were solid. owusu was rudely adjudged to have fouled in a 50/50 with their CB when we could have sealed it.

oli 7 nervous after the parry but dealt with things well.
price 6 not a right back, but did ok
ijah 7 looked good, will be missed with suspension
ivar 9 fab. they didn't have a chance, and scored a beaut
powell 8 had zamora in his pocket
rowly 8 more like this bud, and you'll be with BBB in eire.
gibbo 7 looks better when not defending, inlucky not to score.
evo 7 a bit quiet i thought
mahon 7 looked better in 2nd half (again), harried well
owusu 7.5 excellent running, must be on diet of weetabix
o'connor 6 seemed to be auditioning for swan lake, but should have scored in 1st with one on one.

willo 6. usual running bit, came on fro injured rowly

People bother going because they like to watch a football match! Some people around me were equally fed up with a bunch of people further back screaming at them for not singing. Live and let live, I say.

PS I sang
