There are some hysterical posts on here. We lost a game. Brentford defended very well. If I didn’t know the context, I’d assume we just slipped into the relegation zone.

Even if we we were in the relegation zone we would be disappointed losing to Brentford with a man extra for the entire second half. Brentford were very disciplined to be fair to them. We just couldn't play through them. Made their subs nice and early and defended their box really well. Kelleher would have been disappointed with that disallowed goal. The Bailey chance was more to do with the sub having just come on, really poor effort that one.

If it stayed 11 v 11 I didn't fancy Konsa/Torres chances against Thiago. Not sure about Torres form of late.

Yeah, I'm kinda over it. Would have been spitting feathers had it happened to us and been given. Brentford learned their lesson from this let-off and just camped inside their defensive third for the following 50 minutes. Horrible game. Let's take the lead against them next time for once. Avoids all the aggro.

Just watched the AVFC extended highlights of the game and my conclusion is that it was one of those games that could have been very different if we had had the run of the ball. Apart from Tammy's first half shot, Konsa's bad miss and the controversy over the goal, there were plenty of occasions when we would have scored on another day. Bailey's miss was the most glaring but there were occasions when players slipped at the crucial moment, an outstretched leg tipped a shot over the bar, a yard either side of the keeper would have gone in, a defence-splitting pass was inches too long, etc etc. Sometimes these things go for you; other times they don't, so I'm not too disheartened, other than the fact that's two full days watching my team lose two home matches one nil at Fortress Villa Park!

If the ref incorrectly awarded a goal kick and we scored from the play following the taking of the goal kick.Would the goal have been disallowed?
I think we all know the answer.

Yesterday's events were daft, but this isn't the same thing at all.

VAR has over ruled a mistake by the referee concerning if the ball was out or in.

I gotta tells ya, that's pretty goshdarn outta play.

It is, my issue is that should VAR be getting involved when the ball is about the furthest point from the goal it can possibly be?
