[JoelH5]

1-0 down

[grandad]

Standard of refs to come.

[Fernhurst]

Marcus handled outside box. Dale Stevens took it and Marcus thought it was indirect and was not ready.
Goal stood but players still having a go at officials

[Lyle from Hangeland]

Brighton up 1-0. Bettinelli handled the ball outside the box. Pascal Gross slipped a free kick through our defenders and past Bettinelli.

[Fernhurst]

Brighton well on top at the mo pushing it around. Murray just scored but ruled offside.
Still 1-0

[Mince n Tatties]

Its a wonder Christie isn't being blamed,and
he ain't playing😝

Handball is a direct free kick though isn't it?

I'd have thought a professional footballer would know the basic rules, ie, direct free kick for handball.

[SP]

Although he's still a decent player, I thought they'd buy a replacement for Murray this season?

Half time 1-0

That's what i was thinking

[Fernhurst]

Going by Jim's Commentary.
Jim thinks Marcus thought it was indirect.
Think Jim is confused but maybe ref didn't whistle??

Betts made two saves to keep us in it. Sess looks a lot better than Christie

[Mince n Tatties]

Another useless goalie...Bring back Big Jim😝

[Woolly Mammoth]

Surely we can still blame him though, after all he IS sitting in the Dugout.

Probably thought of the back pass handball which gives an indirect and not a pen.

Thank god he's not playing - we'd have been 3 down by now. 🤭

Joking apart, can't get my head round how some think the worst PL defence last season will suddenly be the best in the fizzy pop.

Don't think I've seen anyone ever say that they think that.

As from this season the side taking the free kick doesn't have to wait for the referee to whistle, Betts should have been aware of the rule. Hopefully he will remember this in any league game.
