[Albion] Own Up. Who left early and missed our winner?

[Superphil]

Didn’t bother going in the first place. Had a great afternoon non-leagueing. Delighted at the result at the Amex but had a great afternoon out regardless.

 

[portslade seagull]

Loads around me in WSU. The 1st leavers left whilst it was still 1-1 around 80mins.

I was a WSU Remainer. No Amexit for me

Loads did near me in ESL - they also missed out on finding out Pascal Gross was ten rows behind them too

 

[Oh_aye]

Well the hardcore NS where I stand, had a queue at the steps to get out after WH's second, but people don't need to 'own up' to leaving early. It's still bloody funny whether they own up or not

And, I have to admit, my first FFS when Baleba hit it may have had a different motivation to my second FFS as it hit the back of the net

Such a strange one that goal. It didn't look real and there was second before I think most people had realised it had gone in. Certainly from the WSU I just thought he'd casually wafted it wide. Then when it was in I was certain it must have taken a mad deflection until the replays.

It was weird. We are WSU level with the penalty spot, and were amazed when the net rippled. I think it was because the keeper was absolutely rooooooted so we thought it was going well wide.

Same from WSL

Had a great view of the winner as we’re almost right behind it, so knew it was a goal as it sailed past the inside of the post.

But the extreme curl of the ball beforehand, meant initially we thought it was going wide.

I wonder if Baleba might be given some freekick on goal opps?

 

[Machiavelli]

Bloke a few seats away from me missed the first WH goal when he came back late from HT. Went to the loo for the second WH goal and then left a couple of minutes from end, before we scored our last two. That was some achievement

Yes but he saw most the game.

 

[Machiavelli]

Wrong thread for it really, this one is for laughing at those who missed the exact thing most of us go to football for in the first place but same as much of the season really - the ongoing inability to be able to have a more or less settled starting XI must have done his head in this season. Dunk had a better game than of late and Baleba was immense, midfield was mostly alright and subs worked.

Spot on. Jack and Yasin very good in midfield today too.

 

[Machiavelli]

I can understand why people leave early from evening games, particularly midweek ones, but I can't understand the need to leave before 5.00 on a Saturday. Is that a desperate need to get home to watch Michael McIntyre?

You, sir, are on fire on this thread

Yes the queue where they stand in front of those who have seats by the exit!

Also a WSU Remainer but intrigued to find out if there were any Rejoiners and whether they outnumber the Leavers.

 

[Roy Race]

Really, what this thread is asking is, come on, you lot who were standing in the train/bus queue when those last two goals went in……. What were your immediate thoughts? ‘Oh great?’ Or ‘Oh bugger’?!!

 

[Stuart Munday]

Nobody ever seems to criticise the people that disappear 10 minutes before half time then reappear 10 minutes into the second half, they are even worse as haven’t gone to get trains etc

When I had a season ticket in the North Stand there was a guy in front of me who would turn up late as drinking with his mates, go back down on 35/40 minutes then reappear around the 50 minute mark then tear into anyone that left early, he didn’t really get it. My son today wanted to leave on 88 minutes, I said to him no you never know what can happen, hopefully he won’t be doing that again.

 

[Mad as my Mother]

That Beleba goal was an odd one, i'm in N1D and thought it was gonna hit us for a second then there was a second or 2 of nothing, everyone seemed to pause. Then all hell let loose. So glad I was one of the fortunate ones to have stayed as the thought had crossed my mind to leave early after their second one went in.

Same I was so tempted to go when the 2nd went in so glad I talked myself out of it

The St Patrick’s Day Massacre of CP, huge numbers missed all 3 goals before and after HT. For what …. downing pints of Harveys or cheap lager out of plastic beakers.
