El-Abd, McLeod; Forster |
 |
Kit:
Shrewsbury wore their home kits of blue shirts
with orange trim, blue shorts and blue socks.
Brighton wore forced into a special one-off fourth
kit due to the incredible pre-season foresight
of making each of the clubs three kits a different
blue, which consisted of a white shirt with the
home shorts and stockings of all white. John Sullivan
appeared in a green jersey with black and white
trim, black shorts and black socks. |

A distinct lack of females were seen in and around

in a local laundrette, whom Rumble deemed suitable

We were unable to gauge the attention of the flag
as it is currently in Nottingham. Somewhere. |
 |
Match
Report:
Brighton moved within two games of Wembley thanks
to a penalty shoot out win over Shrewsbury in
the Southern Section Semi-Finals of the Johnstone
Paint Trophy. A dull 0-0 draw would have had those
watching on Sky Sports reaching for their remotes,
but a 100% spot kick record and a save from John
Sullivan from the Shrews 5th penalty so the Albion
progress to a two-legged regional final with Luton. |

Thought
of the Day:
Would the quote "we were smashed like Baby
P" be acceptable on the fans phone in? |
