Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

He might just have been conducting the singing, or pointing out that you can see Venus. Hard to tell from that picture.

Thinking back over the game, Brentford were really quite poor overall. Even with us looking knackered we beat them without much fuss.

After all the talk regarding the selection, the back four was tremendous, they played a blinder.

Also this offside rule is shit. How many times has Ollie’s hair on his knee been deemed offside? This rule was never supposed to be so bloody clinical.

The Randy ski instructor is angry about the penalty I think I would be as well.

They dominated the second half but we defended well. Don't think they were amazing but if they were poor we should have capitalised on that more.

Best bit is the Brentford fans moaning about time wasting, karma is a bitch

I fail to understand how in the first half a good 3 minute drinks break resulted in 1 minute of injury time.  The officials can be clueless sometimes.

A great result - we did nearly shoot ourselves in the foot a couple of times playing out from the back, but as a team some huge performances.  Almost as if they are playing to start on Wednesday.

Disasi should be a priority in the summer to nail down before anyone else swoops in.

[Ian.]

Digne did fantastically against Mbuemo.

Agreed!

He did, solid game.

[Olneythelonely]

Mings, Disasi, Tielemans and Ramsey were our best players.

Full backs were both good defensively. Going forward we weren’t great. Feel really sorry for Malen.

Brentford were shite but very good win.

That VAR offside is garbage. The lines they draw show no clear evidence one way or the other and there is no way to tell when the ball is actually kicked. I thought they were going to be less forensic this season.

[VillaTim]

1000 frames per second allows them to draw the lines they require . Corrupt.

Was saying this in the match thread. It's bloody impossible to tell for absolute certainty that a player is offside by such a tiny fraction because the technology isn't up to it. The rule states "offside is deemed when the ball is played" There’s never a clear image showing the pass it's always blurry on the still image so how can they possibly be certain which is the correct frame to use? Each frame is about 1/100th of a second. Go forward ONE frame and a player is offside. Go back ONE frame and he's onside. Like I said the still image is always a blur so how can they possibly tell which one is correct? They can't. It's bloody guesswork and it makes me so annoyed to when I see those stupid lines being drawn on the screen  I'm no conspiracy theorist but as sure as eggs is eggs scores can be manipulated.

[Somniloquism]

Can we club together to get some bacofoil for VT?

Exactly this .

[Brend'Watkins]

Offside is offside regardless of the measurement. The technology isn’t 💯 accurate but it is what it is.
