[Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Frutos]

Not the most riveting 45 mins of football I've ever seen.

Not a penalty IMO - well done to the ref.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Hate to see those given so I must be consistent on deeming that very soft.

But in Dunk’s defence, Wissa had his arms around his waist when Dunk wrestled him off.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

No pen. Dunk fouled him first.

Wissa first foul, Dunk second, Wissa third. Dunk only pushed Wissa because he'd grabbed him.

 

[jcdenton08]

Correct decision, clear foul by Dunk first otherwise it would’ve been a fair cop.

Poor half for the neutrals. Looking decidedly toothless up front.

Not a classic half of football…

 

[Gabbafella]

Atmosphere sounds awful, can only hear our lot.
Frustrating game so far, controlling it well enough but it's got counter attack sucker punch written all over it.
Lallana and Größ playing well. So much more confident with Bart between the sticks too.

Wissa had hold of him with 2 hands, dunk tried to throw him off but Wissa held on. Surely the first foul should be given (a bit like when multiple fouls are committed before a player falls inside the box)?

Dumbfounded by the number of people not seeing this, am I hallucinating. There was 3 fouls - first by Wissa, second by Dunk, final one by Wissa. If Dunk started that then I’m the Pope.

 

[The Fits]

Rizla paper between us this season and us pre-Caicedo under Potter. Some intricate play but a desperate lack of urgency and creativity in the final third.
All to play for though.

 

[BN41Albion]

He really didn’t!

I think you're on your own with this one

 

[brighton_dave]

Dissapointing for us, but good to see the ref had the balls not to change his decision. All too often they get sucked in by VAR.

 

[RandyWanger]

Slow build up, let them get everyone back and then send in a weak floated cross or a lame effort on goal… Brentford fans booing because we’re so boring?

 

[Insel affe]

Set up for an Ivan breakaway goal isn‘t it….

not really asking any serious questions

 

[StonehamPark]

I've watched that back 5-6 times now at home.

The ref has made a mistake, imo.

There were 3 stages to that foul/incident.

1: Wissa puts arms around Dunk
2: Dunk pushes his shoulders and throws him off
3: Wissa drags Dunk down.

The ref only took into account parts 2 and 3.

Oh well.

 

[jordanseagull]

Watch it again - if you don’t agree, fair play, but fancy explaining why Wissa hugging Dunk (who naturally then shoved him off) isn’t a foul?

 

[macbeth]

that’s twice we’ve had a ref stand by their decision after being asked to check the screen. i watch a lot of football and that’s the second time i’ve seen that this season, obviously

 

[Stat Brother]

Come on lads chin up, be strong, only 45 more minutes..






...then we can watch something else.

 

[Sheebo]

Ref ignores the Brentford players making the card him gesture about dunk.

Yep - noticed that - he’s weak,

 

[Eddie Bee]

Have to say that wasn’t a pen purely due to the fact Dunk fouled him first - but wtf is the VAR looking at?!

Anyway. Playing very smoothly and beautiful passing but creating nothing clear. The better team and dominating the ball but I predict them to totally change their tactics second half!

Not sure what Wissa was doing to Dunk before the Dunk foul though??

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Rizla paper between us this season and us pre-Caicedo under Potter. Some intricate play but a desperate lack of urgency and creativity in the final third.

Potter didn't have the injury problems we've had. Plus he's a ****.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Whats the ref doing? That was clearly a foul by Dunk/wizza....oh
I hate it when the ref gets it right!

 

[Swegulls]

Nah, Canadiens vs Panthers now for a while…
