Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Drummond]

It should surely be from the millisecond the boot makes initial contact with the ball as that is where the intent begins. Of course these clowns in the retail park make it up as they go along and first check is club badge then they go from there.

You don't half talk some shite.

The system is as is and I much prefer it to the shite shown the other month with a Manure player who was obviously offside by 2 feet scoring a winning goal.

I respectfully disagree. It has really altered the viewing experience to the point that I despise VAR in its entirety. By all means use technology but if it’s not instant (or as instant as a lino raising a flag) then it isn’t good enough. I just don’t care about the odd miscarriage of justice.

So when Ratface stamped on Konsas foot in front of the Holte End then threw himself on the ground to win a penalty for Yanited you were ok with that?

Heard lots of speculation since the game on why Brentford’s home form has slumped since they won 7 of the first 8.

Brentford home results

Palace 2-1
Southampton 3-1
West Ham 1-1
Wolves 5-3
Ipswich 4-3
Bournemouth 3-2
Leicester 4-1
Newcastle 4-2

Then…

Forest 0-2
Arsenal 1-3
Man City 2-2
Liverpool 0-2
Spurs 0-2
Everton 1-1
Villa 0-1

Yeah, it’s a mystery and no mistake.

Had to laugh when the teams were announced.

I told my mates about four-ish that I was looking forward to seeing a Villa side with three world class players in it for the first time in my life...

Still, at least Bouba got on.

Late to the thread, but I was disappointed with Mbeumo, who I've always rated highly.

Until we scored, I thought he was hanging back, as if they were more worried about Lucas pushing up than bothered about getting at our defence. That changed after Ollie's goal, but not by much.
