On this day 1966, #BHAFC beat #BristolRovers 3-2 at The Goldstone in Division Three. The crowd of 11,542 see goals from Norman Gall and Dave Turner (2). We move up 1 place to 13th in the table. seagullsprogrammes.co.uk/196667

Alan Wares offers his review of the new book by Ian Hine of @seagullsprogrammes.bsky.social ...

So happy to announce that my book on the history of the #BHAFC matchday programme, will be published at the end of November. The result of a nearly 15-year labour of love, it will be the perfect addition to any coffee table! Keep checking back here for details on how to buy!

If a player stops during their run-up to take a penalty, the keeper should be allowed to be in front of the line.

Can we get something straight? Brighton and Hove Albion have not ‘slapped a £115 price-tag’ on Carlos Baleba. It’s not the way they do transfer business. And anyway, I think Baleba should aim higher than Manchester United.

Can anyone enlighten me - is Prince Harry the Duke of East Sussex or West Sussex?

On air at 5pm today on @radioreverb.bsky.social, chatting with @nickszczepanik.bsky.social about our current form. It's not all gloom, though. Really. In association with Flowers Unlimited of 175-177 Portland Road, Hove.

Trump and Vance have shown themselves for what they are today.

Anyone else get the impression from the way Trump talks about ‘rare earth’ that he has no idea what rare earths actually are?

It's still possible for Stormzy to do the right thing. Cancel the deal and stand with Palestine. Leaving that much money on the table isn't easy, but he's already a multi-millionaire and an artist's credibility is worth far more than whatever McDonald's is willing to pay for it

stormzy clears things up

80% of German VOTERS went for parties that promised to have nothing to do with the AFD... MEDIA: Huge win for AFD!

How about an election in Russia?

The 'farmers' protest is a good time to remind people of the Just Stop Oil protestors who got 21 years, just for planning a protest. Two tier justice indeed.

Why have the BBC sent Clive Myrie to Los Angeles to tell us the same things that their local correspondent Emma Vardy has been telling us for the past few days?

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

I just saw a post on Facebook start with ‘Convicted Rapist Mark Zuckerberg….’ Let’s see how long this no fact checking lasts.

It turns out that Farage was right; foreigners were coming for his job.

It’s all very well Liverpool having players attacking the ball from beyond the far post at corners, but if Trent can’t get the ball past the first defender then what’s the point?

Farewell then, Dan Ashworth.

Hello @bhasc1.bsky.social. On behalf of our family, I just want to thank you for the lovely message and card you sent following John’s passing. He was very proud of what your good natured campaign achieved and to see your new home. Here’s a video we did in 2010 when he saw Falmer being built.

Quite incredible that Kaoru Mitoma’s goal at Bournemouth isn’t on the MOTD shortlist for November goal of the month. Joao Pedro’s assist was such a work of art that it should be in the National Gallery.

Or maybe not …

Apropos of nothing. Oasis disbanded the season before Man City ended a 35-year wait for a major trophy and they reformed earlier this season.

Having bought the US election, Musk now wants to buy ours. This ketamine-infused menace thinks global domination is his to buy. And Farage is grasping for his money.These repulsive men weaponise prejudice for power. They feed off ignorance, resentment and inadequacy. If they succeed, we have failed.

Scary scenes at Fiorentina-Inter with Edoardo Bove collapsing away from the play. He has now been moved off the pitch but several players very visibly upset. Waiting for any information on his condition.

After that Salah miss, you get the feeling City are destined to get something from this game.

The Stamford Bridge pitch looks a bit odd.

Somebody needs to have a look at the Premier League table before describing opposition as ‘mediocre’. #BHAFC

You couldn't make it u...oh yes you can. The autograph of Gianni Infantino, as it appears engraved on the new Club World Cup trophy, is now available as a "digital asset" from FIFA. As Chaled explains, "the equivalent value is a right to purchase tickets (not: tickets) for the Club World Cup".

Are you even a Brighton fan if you watched Southampton v Liverpool today, Alex McCarthy playing like a total clown and didn't think "Well, that's Saints winning 1-0 at the Amex on Friday night with McCarthy having a blinder" #BHAFC

BHASC members delivered a Valetines Card to John Prescott in Hull in 2004 during the battle for Falmer. RIP Deputy Prime Minister #bhafc #Prescott

RIP John Prescott. The man who said “Yes” to Falmer for All. The years of Campaigning were finally realised! The Amex stadium could be built & #BHAFC had a home!

John Prescott has died at the age of 86. He served as Deputy PM under Tony Blair and was a football fan that supported Brighton's ambition to build a stadium at Falmer. He was a supporter of Hull City and was at Withdean when Albion won 2-0 thanks to goals from Charlie Oatway and Seb Carole. #bhafc

RIP John Prescott, without him the Albion wouldn't have a stadium. Thank you John, always grateful. #RIPJohnPrescott #bhafc

Somebody in one of my WhatsApp groups pointed out that today's Scottish Championship Fixtures are: 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th, 5th v 6th, 7th v 8th and 9th v 10th This is very satisfying

I appreciate when the pundits clearly make an effort. Last week Big Meeks🙄 was only ever going to offer a view on Man City’s performance and make excuses. Tell me something I haven’t noticed about Wolves or Bournemouth, for example.

I don’t watch MoTD for the goals. Seen those already on Sky. My interest is in the analysis which is why the person leading the discussion is important. Yes to Chapman, no to Scott.

You may have noticed that I offered the view that the football is the main thing on Match of the Day and that the identity of the presenter doesn’t matter to me. A few people suggested that the punditry makes a positive difference. Really?

So here we all are - onwards and upwards! Welcome to anyone who has followed me over from the other place!
