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

[Badger]

That's fair enough. Would have been a bit of a joke if he'd given that.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Right decision really. But it is against us so that is yet another VAR disgrace

 

[macbeth]

good decision unfortunately

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

Genuinely agree with that

 

[Bodian]

Right decision.

 

[Rodney Thomas]

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)?

 

[Mr Smggles]

Seemed to me that he would’ve given it had Dunk not thrown Wissa. It was a foul by dunk so correct decision.

 

[jordanseagull]

No pen. Dunk fouled him first.

He really didn’t. He shoved Wissa off, watch again.

 

[nicko31]

dull but all to play for

 

[AZ Gull]

Why? Wissa grabs dunk with both hands who then shoves him off. Wissa then continues to hold and pull Dunk down? Completely clear cut penalty

 

[jabba]

That's a shame. A pen might be the only way we'll score

 

[Gazwag]

Hmm Wissa barged into Dunk before Dunk supposedly fouled him before Dunk was pull down

 

[Weststander]

All the commentator could offer at HT for the home team was “At least they made themselves difficult to break down”.

 

[Sheebo]

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!

 

[brighton_tom]

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

 

[Mr deez]

Why'd the Brentford player who came over waving an imaginary card not go immediately in the book?. That rule is a mess.

 

[highflyer]

Actually pleased to see the ref make his own (correct i think) decision, even if not in our favour.

 

[Eeyore]

So, pen or no pen?

Shit

No penalty. Dunk commits the first foul. Well done to the referee for not feeling obliged. Although it's a shame it had to come against us

 

[Pevenseagull]

Bit like a shit pre season friendly so far

 

[jordanseagull]

No pen, Dunk started it. Think it’s okay.

He really didn’t!
