Championship - 2020/2021

Very feisty game.

[RowlattsFox]

Swansea are a team of whiny bastards on this evidence so that's enough to want Brentford to come up. 

 

If Brentford do come up I think the 3 promoted teams are much better than the 3 that come up last year.

I don't want this Swansea side in the prem.

How has Ayew missed that?

That was the chance wasn't it...

 

They don't score enough really.

It very much looks like you are going to get your wish.

Understand why that's a red, but there's no way he meant to do that.

[StanSP]

I think he meant to do it. Clear red if you're giving the foul.

[Vacamion]

 

If you take a ride on someone's Achilles like that, I think the ref is correct in pulling out a red.

I don’t know. He has a look to make sure he knows where the player is and knows he isn’t getting near the ball.

[RowlattsFox]

He definitely meant to foul him, but don't think he meant to catch him on his Achilles.

I personally think that was a complete accident but I can understand from a distance with no VAR how the referee could have come to the decision he did. I’m not even sure it’s a yellow because of the lack of intent.

Only he will know but looked accidental, to me he’s looked seen he won’t get there and just gone for the closing pressure  

[Super_horns]

That was coming tbh.

 

Was getting quite feisty.

I think the Brentford player stops running to try and block the Swansea player getting to the ball and let the ball run out of play. The Swansea guy doesn’t anticipate it and accidentally stands on his heel. Looks horrendous in slow motion but nothing more than a foul for me. What happened wasn’t intentional

No way that’s on purpose 😂 really unlucky

I don't know, will have to see it again but from the angle I saw it looked like the Swansea player changed direction to catch the Brentford player.

I've just reflected on how pleasant it is that we are in here commenting about this game in relaxed and fairly detached fashion, rather than yet another game which directly affects Leicester and which makes our hearts beat in our chests as we criticise the officials and spit out our anxieties.

Great if Brentford do it after so many near misses in recent years, we know all about this with our playoff history in the early 90s.

The other thing I will say is that we don’t know what the referee has seen from his perspective. He may have missed the first contact and thought the Swansea player has dived two footed through the back of the Brentford player rather than slipped into it. I can see it both ways personally. It’s a tough one to call.

[Super_horns]

I guess VAR would have not overturned that decision either. 

[Scotch]

From first watch, it looked a horrendous challeng..... seeing it again, I don't think it was a red.

I would agree I don’t think they would either 

[urban.spaceman]

It’s like when you press square instead of circle. We’ve all done it. 

[Scotch]

Really chuffed for Brentford. Seem like a decent club, ran extremely well.
