CMS was in an offside position when the ball was played forward and therefore doesn't matter that it then deflected off a defender. You can't be 'played onside' due to a deflection and haven't been for quite a few years.
As for the ref, he was extremely poor. The Holla free kick was a joke because he stopped us taking a kick only about 5 or 6 yards from where the incident happened. When we did take, it was from the same place but the ref wasn't paying attention. Another incident showing his incompetence was when a long ball was headed down by Greer and one of our midfielders started moving forward into their half. The lino had flagged for offside even though the attacker didn't touch the ball and didn't even jump with Greer but the ref decided to give the free kick rather than play the obvious advantage. There was another incident in front of the West Stand (south end) near the touch line when Ince was pulled back and fouled but as he broke free the ball ran out of play for no advantage. The lino didn't flag and the ref didn't give the free kick. With the sending off, I didn't see what Dunk did but moments before, their 23 had been hacking at him right in front of the lino who failed to indicate a foul. Will see later on the telly what actually happened to warrant a second yellow! There were a number of incidents in the first half where Brentford players used an arm to pull back players but no yellow cards!!
Having said that, i thought Brentford were a lot sharper than us and probably wanted to win more. They got forward quickly and passed the ball quicker. They did get a lucky deflection for the goal but should have scored a couple of others although we were denied by a couple of good saves by their keeper.
