"Brighton's big moment"
Brilliant goal, completely fooled everyone.
And yeah, I suspect you do.

Sturridge's dive will be on soon, not that I have seen it yet.
Not sure it was a dive as such but definitely not a penaltyOriginally Posted by McNamara That Ghost...
Very much like Jose Mari's against us in 2006. Dive, well, 'simulation'.
Pub team goal from Stoke, shockingly.
And another one.

Right, can take in this one now. It is of course right and proper that the watching of a match on ITV should begin with an example of their ineptitude. Today's entry:
Sun 01/Jun/1986 Brazil 1 (Sócrates) Spain 0
Group D (7:00pm bst)
ITV LIVE
Brian Moore & Brian Clough
*ITV had live coverage from 6:40-9:00pm introduced by Brian Moore. Peter Brackley & Ron Atkinson were supposed to commentate but a mix-up of cables in Mexico meant that Brian Moore and Brian Clough had to describe the match instead from the studio. Other countries had similar problems or worse, indeed Brazilian TV were unable to show anything of the 1st half. ITV Sports Chief Engineer said "It's a shambles. Unfortunately nobody is talking to each other, the engineers don't know what they are doing, the equipment is badly installed and I would suggest this has put broadcasting back 10 years on these events." Speaking to ITN the next day, Brian Moore blamed the earthquake that had flattened the TV centre in Mexico City the previous year. Sócrates scored the only goal of the opening Group D match on 62 mins. John Motson covered the game for the BBC.
Suicidal pass there.
Bit of a come down in quality it has to be said.
