Richie Towell

[tricky_colour]

Nice goal, bit unusually with him just standing there and picking and finding his spot.

Towell admits that overexuberance led to injuries: http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/14883560.Big_interview__Towell_s_ups_and_downs_as_ he_strives_to_make_Albion_impact/

game against Villa tonight came a little too early for him, according to the build up on Brighton's site.

Towell scores the winner in another Brighton u-23 comeback game

[OwlsFan]

The trouble is that Brighton are on a roll and I think it will be very hard to break in to the side. A loan out to lower ranking team might be better for him.

[tricky_colour]

Towell seems to on a roll.

Excellent. Good man richie. Hope he does well.

[tetsujin1979]

in the starting XI, first start since the third round last year

Didn't he start one of the play off games? Or was that a sub appearance?

yeah, came off the bench against Sheffield Wednesday

Hughton's comments on Towell today:

“I thought he was very good. He’s a fit lad, hasn’t had the games he’d have liked, got a whack towards the end, but I thought he covered a really good distance today.”

[paul_oshea]

But he picked out 3 others as the best

[geysir]

But he picked out 3 others as the best
And so what if he also selected 3 others for high praise - this is an Ireland forum.
After a long absence, Richie had a good game, received praise for his efforts and skill on the day and that not just from his manager.
Perhaps you had different expectations.

[Olé Olé]

Devoted thread on his performance on the Brighton forum. There are opposing views and no real consensus but I think the majority were happy with his performance and feel he can provide an option for the first team.

[Charlie Darwin]

Jesus, you wouldn't want to rely on that lot for a scouting report.

[geysir]

I thought it provided concrete evidence that attending the game (real fans) doesn't automatically endow them with a morsel of intelligence.

[Charlie Darwin]

Hang on now. You're challenging one of the fundamental laws of YBIG here.

[geysir]

It's a lonely place to be for sure but they'll never take me down.

[zero]

doesn't make the match day squad for tonight's home game v wednesday.

[DeLorean]

Any hope of him getting a move in this window? Seems to be wasting his time there.

[DeLorean]

Scored to put Brigton one up at Lincoln in the FA Cup

Edit - haha just saw my previous post, all is not lost Richie :o

[Closed Account]

Well done d1ck towell

[gustavo]

Brighton are out of the cup he needs to get a loan move ASAP

[DannyInvincible]

Nice finish.

[DeLorean]

Just on BBC now as well, such a classy, confident finish. The celebration might need further explanation though.

[tricky_colour]

He got booked for his celebration still at least he didn't get sent off for it!

I can't see what is wrong with it.

[SkStu]

If anything it was Power who deserved a card for his celebration after the penalty...the McGregor walk. Jesus! :D

Well it's obviously for jumping on the advertising boards in front of his own supporters. They seem to have gone pretty strick on that. At the risk of sounding like a killjoy, I can kind of see the logic when over-enthusiastic supporters tend to rush towards the player celebrating. Might be frightening enough if you have a young child with you, or for an elderly person. Maybe... or maybe it's just H&S gone mad and yet another symbol of an overly sanitised sport.

It's like Single White Female with a man instead of a woman.

I think Pogba did it this season as well? Definitely remember a footballer doing it after scoring.

It really isn't.

[tricky_colour]

Apparently a German club is interested but he is worrled they will just leave him on the bench.

He should go to a French club, aren't they famous for throwing in the Towell

On the bench tonight against Rotherham

[tetsujin1979]

on as a late substitute, still had time to drag a shot wide when through one on one with the keeper

[tetsujin1979]

Out of the squad for tonight's game against Derby.
Duffy and Keogh miss out through injury, Pearce and Christie start for Derby, Pearce captains the Rams.

Out of the squad for tonight's game against Derby.

Any specific reason as to why? Simply not favoured?

Man this guy needs to move

[DannyInvincible]

Looks like Towell will go out on loan to the Championship next season and won't get his chance in the Premier League: http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/15289814.Hughton_puts_a_No_10_top_of_Premier_Leagu e_wish_list/


[Chris] Hughton said: “Players like Rohan [Ince] and Richie [Towell] will go out on loan.

“We have been really delighted with Richie but we are very keen for him to get out on loan to the Championship next season.”

[DeLorean]

It must be very frustrating for him to see Horgan and Boyle more established at Championship level than he is, despite signing a year later.

[nigel-harps1954]

Forget a loan, he needs a permanent move. Joining the lads at Preston would be a great move for him I think.

It was inevitable that he wouldn't feature next season for Brighton. Whether he was to move on temporarily or permanently was the question. Hughton seems positive about him which is great. Looking forward to seeing where he gets his loan.

[CraftyToePoke]

Enough eggs in that basket as it stands. Last thing we want is him not getting games because of other Irish lads, or vice versa.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

I think he would be very fortunate to get a move to a Championship team.

'Brighton show faith in Richie Towell as his contract is extended': http://www.the42.ie/richie-towell-new-deal-at-brighton-reece-grego-cox-3400292-May2017/


“We have been really delighted with Richie but we are very keen for him to get out on loan to the Championship next season,” the Brighton boss told The Argus newspaper earlier this week. “Players like Rohan [Ince] and Richie will go out on loan.”

The club confirmed today though that have offered him a contract extension [until 2019]. It was announced on their official website, along with the news that David Stockdale, Gaetan Bong, Steve Sidwell and Niki Maenpaa’s have all been offered new deals too.

[DannyInvincible]

Five players who should have been capped whilst playing in the League of Ireland, according to Nick Menezes of Pundit Arena: http://www.punditarena.com/football/nmenezes/5-players-capped-league-ireland/

He singles out Mark Quigley, Liam Kearney, Killian Brennan, Christy Fagan and Richie Towell.
