Matt - it seemed it was mostly the U-11's abusing David Lee and Nathan Jones.
Most abuse was (rightly) directed at their No.2 after his awful challenge on Gower. Also seemed to be something late-on involving their No.14 - anyone see what that was about?

It was all pantomime really - just boos nothing serious unlike Virgo who felt the full force of a Southend crowd's venom after his despicable tackle on Gower.

"When I was a child I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things." (I Cor. xiii. 11.)

Ah, you've got to love the Bible... says it far more eloquently than I can.

So, let me get this straight - is David Lee still a Brighton player?

Matt

good game last night. i think we out played them until the last 30 mins or so when david lee and leon knight came on. Then they looked dangerous. David Lee nearly scoring from a free kick (he got a blinder for us once or twice from free kicks). Think we look like a team very capable of a promotion challenge this season.

would be good to see david lee back at southend, if he dont get a game there this year!. he is a good player and creates alot from midfield

One thing the ref missed and quite a lot of others as it was off the ball was Knights headbutt on Kightly. Good old Prior didn't and subsequently put him on his arse 2 mins later!

Matt, according to the EE he has been given a 3 month contract to prove himself.

Also surprised at the number of Man City fans in the East stand last night!

But you looked good in your new bib!!

Oh, is that what you were shouting about?

running joke of the night!

Well Lee certainly hedged his bets well with his comments in last night's Echo if the 3 months don't work out!

Bit disappointed to read about the abuse. Both Lee and Jones left to go to clubs clearly on the up when we were in the doldrums. I don't think any of us have the right to stand in the way of ambition.

The difference between them and Constantine/Rawle is they didn't lead fans and the club up the garden path on the way out of the door. In Constantines case I still fail to see how a move to Peterborough furthers his career, whereas Rawle's move to Oxford was to a club that everyone thought was going places.

Ah, thanks mate.

Fair enough - well, good luck to him.  Hope it works out for him - the Seagulls are, after all, two divisions above us.

And if it doesn't - like I said, I for one would be delighted if he came back to Roots Hall.

Would be good if true, but now with 22 pros at the club, someone would have to leave (Corbett or Husbands for instance) for Lee to return....
