dylanisabaddog 6,108 Posted March 12, 2021 If Brentford fail to win this I can't see how they can catch us. I'm interested to see Norgaard play for Brentford. Back after a long injury and I'm wondering if he's as good as claimed, especially if we're in the market for that type of player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 6,108 Posted March 12, 2021 Defensive midfield but allegedly he has a good range of forward passing. I don't know as I've never seen him play but Brentford fans rave about him. Brentford 1 up with a penalty from Toney 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 4,129 Posted March 12, 2021 Happy enough if Bees win, it adds to the pressure on the sides around them. Much prefer them to go up with us, out of the three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icecream Snow 777 Posted March 12, 2021 Always thought this would be a banker for Brentford as they haven't played for 9 days and Blackburn played on Tuesday. Soft penalty aside, Brentford haven't done a lot, and have hoofed it long most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,574 Posted March 12, 2021 In defence of the ref, there's no possible way he could've seen it as it was on his blind side. It's the assistant who could/should have given it, but they rarely do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted March 12, 2021 Jeepers, talk about "rub of the green" a very questionable penalty for Brentford, obvious penalty denied for Blackburn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 243 Posted March 12, 2021 Just seen the highlights. Definitely a pen. for Blackburn, the player was held back with by the Brentford player grabbing his arm. Brentford played for their penalty, there was knee to knee contact but it seems as though the Brentford player realised this and so then decided to fall over... should have got a yellow for cheating. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,272 Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) It was said that Cantwell dived to get a City penalty not so long ago. That was a rock hard decision compared to last night's 'oh so soft' one that favoured Brentford. There was, however hardly a murmur of genuine complaint from the Blackburn defenders with just the 'culprit' expressing his surprise and innocence. Its as if they, and footballers in general, have now become used to it all to the point of acceptance. There are now seemingly far, far more penalties awarded in all games than ever before, with some clubs, Watford for one, seemingly getting them on a regular basis and to the point of reliance. Penalties used to be the exception. Now they are the rule. Edited March 13, 2021 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given he spent 12 months out pretty recently with a knee injury, it looked pretty bad straight away when he didn't get up. You get a lot of play-acting nowadays, but it just smacked of a bad one by the reaction (or lack of it) from Dack and everyone around him. It's a shame, as he's a decent player.

We’ve had 9 pens, some of those have been fairly soft including one for Aaron’s when there was little contact.
