Screeny mcscreenface4/25/2023 The old thought train has returned to its point of origin at last, as in: do we have time for Sargent’s? So it was a point apiece with Brighton doubtless the happier bunnies as a result. Our personal exchange ended in a 1-1 draw, of course. He said nothing until 75 minutes precisely and I retorted with *Adam Idah on in the 89th, whatever the score*. We’re gonna need Rashica on much, much earlier if we intend to play on the counter.Īt half-time one of my matchday buddies Steve and I jested about when Farke might make any changes. Teemu Pukki worked hard but those old bright celestial objects didn’t align for him – yet again – and Milot Rashica showed some useful pace when he eventually appeared. Screeny McScreenface had a day off so we had to make do with guesswork and assumption during the incident. That fingertip he got to Leandro Trossard’s fine effort to flick it onto the bar was something else when looked at on the Sky highlights – few in the Barclay realised he’d even made contact with the ball and I certainly didn’t from 120 yards away.Īs for the penalty issue, consensus is that our Tim did catch Neal Maupay but not to the extent that the slightest of contact merited a penalty, which was shortly to be confirmed by our current ally, VAR. Tim Krul wasn’t actually overworked but he did everything right when he had to. He seems to be match-fit, but not 90-minute match fit. However, the Mayor was never going to get the midfield plaudits compared to the ever-improving performances of his partners in the *three*, as in Pierre Lees-Melou and Mathias Normann, who was at the heart of things for most of the match apart from tiring towards the end from what we now understand to be another bout of cramp. His fellow wingback Dimi Giannoulis was more adventurous and had occasional back-up from Kenny McLean, who I felt had one of his better games in the yellow and green. Ben Gibson, Ozan Kabak and to a lesser extent Grant Hanley had a few iffy moments but nothing too dodgy, while Max Aarons was far more subdued going forward than usual. I was pleased to see our solid-looking central three at the back looking pretty decent. It wasn’t to be for the Seagulls, but we plainly didn’t make the most of the chances we had and at times didn’t know whether to sit on what we had or go for broke. Yet again we were subjected to a very high press, this time from Brighton who even if Graham Potter was too diplomatic to actually come out and say it, must have sniffed blood and fancied their chances. You’ll already know where I’m going with this theme but you’ll have to wait until the end because there is so much else to discuss in the middle. Dad loved it but I really couldn’t understand much of it at the time although retrospectively it was like The Beverly Hillbillies in uniform. The other one was, I guess, slightly more obscure but found itself to these fair shores nonetheless.Ĭentred around two big-hearted but as daft-as-a-brush recruits to the USAAF, it was called No Time For Sergeants. As a kid growing up I loved it in all of its incarnations, although Dad had to explain some of the plot and a few of the in-jokes. The first was Sgt Bilko, aka Y ou’ll Never Get Rich or simply the Phil Silvers Show. A few years after I was born in late 1957, there were two well-known USA sitcoms shown on black and white TV in the UK that were beloved of ex-servicemen everywhere.
