If that was an opposition player we'd be crying for a straight red...Perch a very lucky boy not even to get a yellow.
I'm the only Ranger in this Brighton pub. Laughing at them cheering the offside goals has been my entertainment so far.
I'm rather enjoying this! After last week when I fell asleep (aided by doing a 7.5 mile run) and we looked sluggish and like we'd had no preparation after the international break, this is much better - we look sharp and are giving it a go. Hanging in there at times but they are a strong team but we are competing well. Only did a 5 mile run at lunch so might stay awake for this.
I always think that lining up against Perch must be like facing a beserker armed with nothing but football boots.
I think the difference is Brighton's passing is a lot slicker, they seem to pick out players with ease whereas we seem to hit and hope...
Interesting bit of trivia - Matt Smith used to be a stockbroker and took up football late. He's great in air with his head.
Total Ned **** up again. One too get rid of (and I have defended him for years). Otherwise I am quite happy.
Ned cocked up with a bad touch, but it was on the half way line...the fact that led to a man clear on goal is a whole defensive cock up...can't blame that entirely on Ned.
Brighton's movement off the ball excellent, we're often chasing shadows. We'll do well to hang on to 0-1 here...
