I only watched the second half and it certainly looked like the ref was well disposed towards Liverpool. On a different tack, Brighton's winning goal was very well taken by Mitoma who looks a lively, energetic and skillful player. Perhaps our scouts should take a trip to Japan. Brighton signed Mitoma from a Japanese club (I believe for £2.5 Mill) and loaned him to Union Saint-Gilloise for a season. Edited by Willo (29 Jan 2023 8.13pm)

Liverpool could have had 3 reds. In my mind they played like thugs. When the Mitoma goal went in justice was done. Good game!
I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

The VAR might have concluded that the Yellow was sufficient or that the decision was not a "Clear and obvious error". Edited by Willo (29 Jan 2023 6.44pm) I'm sure that was the VAR conclusion, which is a damning indictment of those involved. Call me crazy but a studs up tackle, from behind, nowhere near the ball which rakes down the opponents achilles is a red all day long. I'd class the Robertson one as robust and a yellow but never in a million years Fabinho's.

To my mind Fabinho went to play the ball, he never lunged in from a distance, he was not out of control, contact made was not high.Of course he missed the ball and caught Ferguson's achilles this is not disputed but all-in-all I think a yellow was the correct decision. I accept that my view is not met with uniform agreement however HOL would be exceedingly dull if we all agreed with one another all the time ! Edited by Willo (29 Jan 2023 8.43pm)

The clear Ref error was not to call a foul when the Brighton player was pushed over just outside the box in the denial of a clear scoring opportunity. The Liverpool player should have been sent off.

Presumably Liverpool will get a new manager just before they play us.

Sorry to prolong this thread, but I was fascinated to read an article in the paper today about Mitoma's background. When he was at university in Japan a few years ago, he studied the art of dribbling for his thesis. Can't imagine many of our lads doing that.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

This negates another date we can play our game at the Amex. I will let you know. My son is a Brighton based PC. Palace are his second team - for some reason he follows Blackburn Rovers.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |
