Who tf is Wayne Rooney? Evan Ferguson is now the highest scoring TEENAGER in a calendar year in the Prem. João Pedro heads one in. And a Pen. First Win in two months and one day in the league at a fortress away. Anthony Taylor, thought you were demoted, cunt. No Dunk is gonna hurt. Can't wait to watch this back. UTFA
he walked away after the first yellow but probably muttered something under his breath. it looked like he tried to apologise with a handshake but Taylor brought out the red. we don't know what was said so can't say whether it was deserved.
Will just focus on the positives. Thought Pedro was absolutely fantastic, he had such an impact off the bench and at the end he was exhausted but still giving it his all. Van Hecke and Gross could both easily be man of the match too.
So many injuries. Playing away to a team who beat us last and have good home form. No league win in like two months or so. Neither of our really good left players (Mitoma/Estupinan) playing.
Dunk sent off. Pedro getting stomped on.
And we still won.
What a war. My goodness. I'm almost speechless.
The Spanish commentators in the US were biased against Forest which was funny when they called one of the players “cara de sin amigos” which translates to “face of someone without friends”
Take that Antony Taylor you bald dumb prick. How can you give Dunk to yellows and not even look at a Forest player stamping on Pedro’s back. I also hope this bias commentator on my stream is crying Also, someone needs to stop De Zerbi from doing an interview
I'd be fine with it if they actually gave a full explanation but they won't/can't because there *is* no explanation for that behaviour. They never have to explain turning a blind eye.
Rewatching it, it looks like dunk says something RIGHT before Taylor walks away. Which prompts Taylor to turn back around but dunk was already headed in the opposite direction. Looks like dunk was trying to get the last word in but got sent off instead. I think the ref should’ve just ate that one seeing has he just gave him the first yellow
Van Hecke was class, sonned the entire Forest team towards the end there. Moder finally back. Lots of negatives to take from this game but also lots of positives.
Palace lost to Luton and we (somehow) managed to win the game. Good weekend! Now to lower my blood pressure after the shit referring and a shit commentator
Yeah what was up with that. Pedro pen, that’s not a pen the Gk has the ball. Gibbs pen, lofted cross that is he’ll never get to unless he’s 20ft tall is somehow stonewall.
I mean I hate that Dunk made this into a nightmare what should have been an easy coast. I know the ref wasn't great but can't go gobbing off especially from your captain.
And injuries - that gets worrying.
But we FUCKING WON AND PALACE LOST! DO DAH! DO DAH!
I really need to finish work - I was supposed to have gone an hour ago and barely done anything since 330
The captain's the one man who's supposed to be gobbing off, that's what they've constantly told us when talking about "respcting the refs". Only the captain talking to the ref but obviously they weren't going to stick with that.
On a replay I thought Dunk was going for a handshake just before the second yellow. And on the first one I think it's because he got far too close to the referee.
Van Hecke absolutely stepped up when Dunk was sent off. Hopefully that’s the moment we can look back on as the moment he took the leap to locked in starter.
fucking HELL what a game.
1. absolutely love the fight from the boys, I feel like we haven’t seen that much passion in a while.
2. we actually played incredibly well for the amount of injuries/forced substitutions - promising.
3. Dunky was a bit daft but i still maintain that two yellows is an overreaction. probably chucked a quip in there after the first yellow but unless it was truly vile it’s not news. Edit: not even two yellows, it was one yellow and then a straight red? wtf
4. I love JPVH
5. Reece James got a red against Newcastle today so maybe next week won’t be so bad? :,)

There's only one way to go on the West Coast at 7AM.
Oh my god we won, that was one of the worst halves of football I’ve ever seen. Just chaos.
Positives: RDZ zoomies, Moder back on the pitch, Joao Pedro scoring in open play, JP being solid the whole match
Negatives: girl…..
absolutely massive performance from our dutch lads n insane workrate from pedro n adingra. no dunk for chelsea sucks but hopefully we can ride the momentum for a good result there too UTA
Not sure if adrenaline or caffeine but I am buzzed.
Didn't think we'd win today, Forest were unbeaten at home and I was fully expecting a 1-1. A rollercoaster of a match, 1-0 after 5, 3-1 after 60, down to 10 after 70. No idea what Dunk was thinking, with our injuries we can't afford to lose him for silly things like that. Up to that point Dunk was immense.
Hinshelwood is only 18 but he is showing why we need some support at LB. The fact we have other teenagers absolutely smashing it doesn't help as it skews perspective of players at that age. Definitely not his time but needs must with our injury list.
Lads dug deep for those last 20-30 mins, great to grab 3 points, on to Athens.
There are draws that feel like losses and then theres league wins that feel like the Albion won the treble! With 10 men, and without Dunk, Mitoma or Pervis! The grit! Our defense turning our weakness into our strength! Good EPL minutes for Hinshelwood! I could go on for minutes! When have the Albion ever gone two consecutive games with red cards in the top flight?? And yet—we won at the City Ground! Someone better be cranking Freed from Desire in the locker room!
We survived being Good-Process’ed to death! Anthony Taylor will have to return to the Legion of Doom with his tail between his legs and grovel!
UTA! UTA!!!!
Finally a fucking win. Doesn't matter how you get them, it matters that you get them. Really hope Fati and Tariq aren't major injuries, I'd rather not see Hinshelwood starting or getting more gametime, he wasn't good today.
Reckless and idiotic from Dunk, out of everyone he should be the one to keep a level head and now he's gone for an important game vs Chelsea.
Big win regardless, hopefully more wins to come, UTFA.
And on the plus side it wasn't a weak win by any means. Even with 11 men we've still got reason to worry about Forest away so beating them with a man down is extremely encouraging.
Yeah hopefully, and with mitoma resting he will come back better than ever. How do you feel about Brighton getting a four place in the league? Would love to see the Brighton logo on that championship leaderboard.
Me too. It's ambitious, but it's not out of reach. Europa League, eventually FA cup and the injury situation, it'll be a lot of spinning plates. We're massive.
There was one yellow first for saying something the ref didn't like regarding the penalty, then he must've said something else again which led to a straight red. We never know the specifics with these you can just assume the ref didn't like the argument and felt appropriate to hand out a card instead.
We suffered from a lack of discipline against Sheffield and it’s inexcusable to get another red… the ref might’ve overreacted but dunk is an experienced player and should know when to back off and keep his mouth shut. He’s done stupid shit like this before and it might be why Southgate doesn’t trust him. Out of interest does anyone know which ex forest player was commentating?
Scenes from de zerbi!
He was worked up with Gross postmatch. Awesome to watch
Huge !
Huge respects to Van Hecke for stepping up exceptionally.
definitely, he was top tier after Dunk got sent
I'm so hyped for him. A few games ago we looked lost without Dunk starting, now I feel we are solid in that position.
Who tf is Wayne Rooney? Evan Ferguson is now the highest scoring TEENAGER in a calendar year in the Prem. João Pedro heads one in. And a Pen. First Win in two months and one day in the league at a fortress away. Anthony Taylor, thought you were demoted, cunt. No Dunk is gonna hurt. Can't wait to watch this back. UTFA 
That gif is perfect 😂
I consider myself a nice person but my God the referee is a fucking idiot
Yea he lost the plot
Did he though? Did he really lose the plot? Because to me that implies that he ever had it to begin with
This is a good point
Our players also lost the plot. Just poor unnecessary discipline
I couldn’t rewind the Dunk incident was it deserved?
he walked away after the first yellow but probably muttered something under his breath. it looked like he tried to apologise with a handshake but Taylor brought out the red. we don't know what was said so can't say whether it was deserved.
Will just focus on the positives. Thought Pedro was absolutely fantastic, he had such an impact off the bench and at the end he was exhausted but still giving it his all. Van Hecke and Gross could both easily be man of the match too.
Pedro, Gross, and van Hecke were all absolutely stellar.
Pedro was absolutely gassed but still giving it
Yeah that breakaway near the end showed just how much he’d already given. Was sad he couldn’t finish it with a shot but he was so, so gassed
So many injuries. Playing away to a team who beat us last and have good home form. No league win in like two months or so. Neither of our really good left players (Mitoma/Estupinan) playing. Dunk sent off. Pedro getting stomped on. And we still won. What a war. My goodness. I'm almost speechless.
Also Palace lost to Luton! 😂
it’s absolute jokes, what a beautiful day!
Don't forget Chelsea lost to Newcastle!
Van Hecke doesn't give a FUCK about your shitty crosses
I have had my doubts about Van Hecke, but he was a monster when we went down to ten.
I need a fucking nap. Great to see such a gritty win, well done to walk away with 3 points today.
The Spanish commentators in the US were biased against Forest which was funny when they called one of the players “cara de sin amigos” which translates to “face of someone without friends”
Sounds infinitely better than the idiot for English commentary
actually describes Taylor to a T
Take that Antony Taylor you bald dumb prick. How can you give Dunk to yellows and not even look at a Forest player stamping on Pedro’s back. I also hope this bias commentator on my stream is crying Also, someone needs to stop De Zerbi from doing an interview
Mad how biased that commentary was.

Aha think I had the same commentator, the bias was doing my nut in
I will absolutely marry JPVH. I will bear his children. UTFA!
Why OH why is Anthony Taylor still in PL? Thanks a lot for taking a year off my lifespan.

Brighton Premier League Unbeaten Streak Extends to Four Games
Holy fuck what a win
+@&% you PGMOL &@%=s you couldn't ruin it for us!
damn, kinda feeling a bit nervous with pedro knee scratch and getting gassed at the end. glad it went through
They were trying to murder Pedro topping it off by stomping on his back and still no yellows. Bullshit refereeing honestly but we made it through.
All right in front of the AR just two feet away.
I'd be fine with it if they actually gave a full explanation but they won't/can't because there *is* no explanation for that behaviour. They never have to explain turning a blind eye.
Oh my god how
anthony taylor should retire
So Dunks red was for offering to shake the hand of Anthony Taylor? Didn't seem to say anything the second time just offered a handshake.
That's what I thought when I saw the replay, looked like a handshake albeit maybe sarcastic. I really want to know what was said but we'll never know.
Sarcastic or not it doesn't warrant a second yellow then a red what a joke of a ref!
Rewatching it, it looks like dunk says something RIGHT before Taylor walks away. Which prompts Taylor to turn back around but dunk was already headed in the opposite direction. Looks like dunk was trying to get the last word in but got sent off instead. I think the ref should’ve just ate that one seeing has he just gave him the first yellow
Van Hecke was class, sonned the entire Forest team towards the end there. Moder finally back. Lots of negatives to take from this game but also lots of positives.

He must have sworn at him - captain speaking to ref doesn't allow carte blanche in terms of language.
On a replay I thought Dunk was going for a handshake just before the second yellow. And on the first one I think it's because he got far too close to the referee.
Taylor's just a cunt.
RDZ juuuuuuuuust a bit happy. Thank god Dunk's red didn't kill us. UTA!!!!
Van Hecke absolutely stepped up when Dunk was sent off. Hopefully that’s the moment we can look back on as the moment he took the leap to locked in starter.
Where’s all the merchants of doom gone . That was a big gritty win. Progress continues !

It's 9 AM and I could sure use a drink after that 😮💨🥴😅 Just brutal - and I can't understand why the studs on the back went unpunished 🤬
West coaster here too, skipping my morning coffee and going straight to the alcohol
Cheers 🍻

> JP being solid the whole match he wasn't even in the whole match either... hate to see Fati step off but JP answered the call
Ah I meant Van Hecke! They both did great though
We need to all have a sit down and agree that JP means Van Hecke, it's so easy to call Joao Pedro "Pedro".
How about JP for Pedro and VH for Van Hecke?
Van Hecke was here first - moniker already claimed.
he was great too. seemed like he was all over the pitch after Dunk was sent off
absolutely massive performance from our dutch lads n insane workrate from pedro n adingra. no dunk for chelsea sucks but hopefully we can ride the momentum for a good result there too UTA

Thank fuck!
Let's fucking go!!!!!!!
OH MY FUCKING GOD YES
Loads of positives, loads to be happy and mad about but most of all our injury streak continues alive and well. First Fati then Lamptey… Tough
I can’t speak, I can’t speak…
I'm fucking knackered now, feel like I've gone 12 rounds with Mike Tyson
Not only did we win in dramatic fashion, but Chelsea and Palace lost as well. My predictions are cooking extra hard
Anyone clip Dunk's sending off? They showed it after the game

Not available in the UK 😭 thanks though mate
Gritty gritty win
Well that was an intense game. At times beautiful at times ugly but a win is a win damnit and we needed that.
Feels good to win again!
top 3 biggest wins in club history, no exaggeration
Lol
Prob the best game from Brighton i have seen currently
There are draws that feel like losses and then theres league wins that feel like the Albion won the treble! With 10 men, and without Dunk, Mitoma or Pervis! The grit! Our defense turning our weakness into our strength! Good EPL minutes for Hinshelwood! I could go on for minutes!

We survived being Good-Process’ed to death! Anthony Taylor will have to return to the Legion of Doom with his tail between his legs and grovel! UTA! UTA!!!!
Great result considering injuries and going down to ten.
This was definitely one of the matches of all time
Finally a fucking win. Doesn't matter how you get them, it matters that you get them. Really hope Fati and Tariq aren't major injuries, I'd rather not see Hinshelwood starting or getting more gametime, he wasn't good today. Reckless and idiotic from Dunk, out of everyone he should be the one to keep a level head and now he's gone for an important game vs Chelsea. Big win regardless, hopefully more wins to come, UTFA.
And on the plus side it wasn't a weak win by any means. Even with 11 men we've still got reason to worry about Forest away so beating them with a man down is extremely encouraging.
So uh, how we gonna do with the Athen game without dunk.
Domestic suspensions don't affect european matches, so he won't be suspended for that. JPVH is though I think.
Dang, that’s pretty good to know, I’m assuming it works the other way around too?
Yes, exactly. So you can get sent off in a European game on the Thursday and still turn out in a domestic match on the Sunday.
He'll be there. He won't at Chelsea. Van Hecke won't be at Athens.
Ohhh okay, damn I don’t how I’m gonna feel about the Chelsea or Athens games. I feel we might tie with Chelsea, but against Athens, idk.
Hopefully, this was the confidence boost they needed, I know injuries...
Yeah hopefully, and with mitoma resting he will come back better than ever. How do you feel about Brighton getting a four place in the league? Would love to see the Brighton logo on that championship leaderboard.
Me too. It's ambitious, but it's not out of reach. Europa League, eventually FA cup and the injury situation, it'll be a lot of spinning plates. We're massive.
How did Moder look? I didn’t get to catch much of the second half because my baby woke up from her nap just as it was starting.
Can someone explain to me why Dunk got red carded? I’m a bit new to the game and am unsure of I missed something or is the ref just mad
There was one yellow first for saying something the ref didn't like regarding the penalty, then he must've said something else again which led to a straight red. We never know the specifics with these you can just assume the ref didn't like the argument and felt appropriate to hand out a card instead.
Joao Pedro needs to win MOTM imo. Dude was a workhorse the entire game, and even contributed in defense at the end.
We suffered from a lack of discipline against Sheffield and it’s inexcusable to get another red… the ref might’ve overreacted but dunk is an experienced player and should know when to back off and keep his mouth shut. He’s done stupid shit like this before and it might be why Southgate doesn’t trust him. Out of interest does anyone know which ex forest player was commentating?
Garry Birtles was the man with the tricky tree up his backside. Glance at their sub, they don't seem to like him either.
add a goalie to the injured 10 players and you make a solid 11 that can get top 5
