Whitey Grandad

I would agree except for the overcrowded trains from Southampton. For the return there was an extra four-coach service laid on at 18:06 which was very welcome. The first stop was Havant. I don’t know why there couldn’t have been an extra one put on in the morning or at least a longer train. We were so crowded that we were stopping at most stations where no one got off and no one got on. Yes - the South Downs looked nice.

After the game I heard a Brighton fan say that Redmond was one player that he’d definitely like them to buy. What he actually said was “I think we should get Redmond”. He never said anything about Boufal.

Yes, glass of water was a pleasant surprise. I went to the bar asking for a bottle of water and got given a large free plastic ‘glass’. I spent some time looking at the stadium structure and wondering how it could be increased. I imagined them jacking up the east stand somehow and tilting the ends up somehow. The stands behind the goals looked a bit restricted to me compared to other modern stadiums. Acoustically I thought it was lacking somewhat but that may have been because our own supporters drowned out the opposition.

I was reasonably impressed. The seats were padded and comfortable but unfortunately the entire away end prefers to stand for the whole game so my seat wasn’t used much. After standing the whole way on the train I would have appreciated the chance to sit down. The view would have been the same whether you were sitting or standing once you get past 70 you tend to prefer to watch the game instead of the back of the head of the person in front of you. Wouldn’t it be an idea to have ‘suggested’ standing and sitting zones when choosing your ticket.

I think it was a pass. You can see Boufal look across to Redmond just before cutting to the goal line.

Nah, just make every fixture an away game

We are still in holiday season so that must make a difference.

He's had three years to think of an alternative and has come up with nothing so what he can dream up in 30 days is unlikely to be convincing.

Thanks for the info. Too late for me for my train ticket I’m afraid but I got a good price on a first class to Falmer. Saturday in Southampton is also ‘Southampton Pride’ day with events kicking off at 11:00 which may affect anybody going into town that morning.

You don’t (or can’t) understand. It doesn’t matter what any Remain voter believed because Remain didn’t win the vote.

As I said, you don’t like to admit that you were conned. Still in denial?

We haven’t left yet and still we’re going down the pan.

Leaving solves nothing. This debate will intensify as time goes on. Rather than go through all the unnecessary hardships wouldn’t it be better to consult the nation now? It’s much simpler and cheaper to revoke now than rejoin later. I understand your reluctance but you have to realise those who voted Leave were conned and used. Nobody likes to admit to having been conned so they carry on trying to convince themselves that their decision was right all along.

We are already a laughing stock. The only sane, rational solution is merely to say that we’ve changed our minds and after careful consideration we have decided to revoke our withdrawal and be good little boys and girls from now on. You are right, the economy is being destroyed as we dither.

Yes - insignificant. Exchange rate variations have a much bigger effect. Then there are the handling charges for handling the goods. It’s no good having 0% import tariffs if you’re paying more than 20% extra for your imports. Soon to be 30% and more.

Just because you have no idea about what will happen doesn’t mean that the rest of us don’t. It is going to be economically disastrous. You can’t cut yourself off from your biggest trading partner and expect things to stay the same. We’re not just closing doors, we’re slamming them shut.

It's a long season and with injuries and suspensions we need someone like him in our squad.

To your wife???

“Like that which we have”? TV football directors who show irrelevant replays whilst the game is going on and then miss a goal or something important.

I was at the game . Romeu's tackle could never be considered a professional foul because it was not far outside their penalty area. As has been said before, it looked clean to most of us. You will well know that I will usually support the referee but there definitely seemed to me to be a bias. Not so much especially in the handing out of sanctions. We were only awarded six fouls in the whole game.

I can’t recall ever seeing him play. Was he any good?

Romeu’s tackle looked clean to me and nowhere near a yellow no matter how long Atkinson had to think it over. Djenepo got sent three feet in the air by a late lunge but no punishment for the offender.

What difference does it make who ‘leads’ the EU? The president is just a figurehead without any power.be honest, what has a President of the EU ever done that affects any aspect of your life?

That’s ok for those already living abroad. What concerns me are the restrictions in the future. Trapped in an overcrowded, bigoted, poor country.

I’ve just checked my purchase history and all it says is “printed”. I’ll give it a couple of days before chasing.
