Brighton Fans have a real hatred for Crawley

and Crawley fans have a real hatred for Seaweeds. No surprises it kicked off after the game, don't know why police didn't hold the Crawley fans back it was a recipe for conflict. Plenty of "Pikey" calls from the entitled scum on the coast but they throw a hissy fit when they get it given back. Pathetic lot. Had the police not stepped in after the game there would've been a lot more punches etc thrown. They can fvck off and crawl back under their soulless stadium and absolute sh1t hole of Falmer.

That’s exactly my point!

We’re only disappointed because it’s exciting to have a big money signing and we wanted to see them play, and hopefully improve us!

I’d be far less bothered if it weren’t the new big money signing!

Surely, you’d feel the same if the shoe were on the other foot?!

Though the main point of my post was to clarify that this was the reason we were annoyed, not because Crawley put together some decent moves (which they certainly did), so at least I seem to have achieved that.

I have enjoyed how rattled they are. Imagine getting so emotionally triggered at a 4-0 win against a team 60 or so places below you in the pyramid.

I didn’t think the game was rough. The ref made it seem worse than it was. Even the Williams one is only getting traction cos it’s the record signing.

[quote author="chelt" But the boot was on the other foot recently. One of your U21s clogged Ronan Darcy so he had to be helped off the pitch in the game last week. Did our forum immediately erupt into a barrage of bile against Brighton’s team, city and residents? There has always been an element on your forum which looks down on Crawley and trots out the same old tired garbage about us being the club which nearly made you go out of business and about how the county boundary should be redrawn so we aren’t in Sussex. Pathetic, patronising and totally hypocritical nonsense.

Ronan Darcy didn’t sign for you the day before as a big hope for the midfield.

He also played last night (and played well, I would add) so evidently wasn’t badly injured.

Obviously (and this surely must be obvious?!), the criticism I am making of Williams is based on the assumption O’Riley is badly injured.

If O’Riley starts our game on Saturday then I’ll completely row back my criticism of Williams and I’ll certainly agree I’ve over-reacted.

If he’s out til Christmas, having played 6 minutes for us, then I’m sure you see why we’re unhappy and you would be, if the boot were on the other foot…. which it obviously wasn’t last week, despite what you say.

The three posters who have commented here have been very respectful, maybe this annoying/maybe it seems smug…. or maybe we’re just normal minded people making a polite point about football.

[quote author="broadfielddave" All fair, though we wouldn't know what it's like to have a big money signing.[/quote]


Every club makes singings they are excited about.
The money is irrelevant but is short hand for “big deal for us”.

I think the fact he was allowed to hobble off and not need a stretcher should be seen as its not too serious.
