This is priceless. The last 24 hours on this kids thread reads like watching a grand piano go down a staircase. :D

The two own goals were comical enough as well unfortunately. I was hoping they'd just be deflections where he was unlucky but I think he probably should have done better with both. The first one came off the post and he directed the rebound into the net. I think he probably had time enough to react a bit better though if he was more alert. The second one was a header he would have been immensely proud of in the other penalty box.
The second yellow looked very harsh. I presumed he kicked a ball at a Cardiff player in frustration but it looked more like a shot at goal after the whistle had blown. I only saw it on mute though so I'm not sure how long gone the whistle was.
I had the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme tune going through my head.Quote:

Duffy puts Blackburn 4-3 up against Crewe in extra time.
Oops... had put this in the Shay Given thread by mistake.

Good move for him. Club record fee so they clearly rate him. They're second in the Championship and have only conceded 2 goals in their 4 games (both in a draw against Wigan). His performances last season at Blackburn were widely praised and he was under a lot of defensive pressure there. A more settled team and manager will avoid him having to put out fires and there's a good chance that he'll be in the PL next season.
Kevin Kilbane said during the week on Newstalk (or maybe it was last week) that David Moyes rated him highly at Everton. He also reckoned that maybe Duffy wasn't going to be a top level performer immediately but that he had all the tools, once he soaked up the experience, to be really top notch in his latter 20's onwards. Interesting point.
Clean sheet as Brighton return to winning ways at home to Championship leaders Huddersfield.
Scores at his old stomping ground to give Brighton a 1-0 half time lead at Ewood.
His 4th against them this season. #bogeymanQuote:

Very similar to Ashley Williams goal for Everton just now.
Hes some brute.
Duffy does have ongoing issues with Blackburn.
Better quality of the goal.

Shameless Shane Duffy scores against old club; celebrates.
tenth goal of his career
It is unusual for a player to celebrate when he scores against a former club so perhaps he does. Not our problem though :)Quote:

His desire to get his head onto that ball and with such force was just scary, x rated stuff, you can almost hear O'Neill purring in delight somewhere.
Had been having a good game, eating up everything for Brighton, until he was outmanoeuvred by Jutkiewicz for Birmingham's goal.
Birmingham 1-0 Brighton.
Time to throw in the Towell.
Towell an unused sub.
Birmingham conceded an equalizer shortly after Gleeson made way for Tesche, his replacement allowing Brighton to get a cross in from which they scored.
The co-commentator raving about Gleeson, who did an effective job sitting in front of the back two.
Scored with a header in a 3-3 draw away to Brentford. Towell an unused sub.
Egan only made the bench for Brentford - what's going on there? Thought he was pretty much a fixture in the first team.
He missed the previous game with a head injury according to Towk's link on Egan's contract extension (in his own thread).Quote:

Shane's operation on the broken metatarsal went well: https://twitter.com/ShaneDuffy34/sta...rc=twsrc%5Etfw
Is that bruising up to his shin though? His lower leg and foot is definitely a different complexion from the area closer to his knee. Maybe it's the lighting? A shadow? Fake tan?Quote:

Thats exactly what it is DI, did you have to google that to figure it out ; )
No, I'd say you were right about the fake tan Danny.
Is it not the orange bit of him when he played for N Ireland when he was younger........
Ha, I haven't been under the surgeon's knife in years, but no actually. :)Quote:

Ha, erm, no... I was just getting my mineral and vitamin levels checked as I tend to suffer from mouth ulcers quite a lot.

More like the perils of having an opinion and the bravery to share it.
