Tonight I learned that the Italian name for a referee is “guastafeste” - ‘the one who ruins parties’.

And so my birthday is complete!

Belated happy birthday Laces, hope you has a good one!

Or Fulham if Parker gets the shove.

They’d be mad to do that

Play Off Final….. I hope Brentford win it

Brentford players can **** off asking for a red card there.

Was a red, but yeah, they’re a horrible team

How? Keeper made an attempt for the ball.

Oh you’re talking about the penalty. I was talking about the two footed challenge a couple of minutes before

Missed that - switched on just before the pen.

 

[tomw24]

That's Brentford promoted then.

 

[saintrichie123]

2-0 already .......just tuned in.

I for the Bees today, but at the same time would like Saints to finally be the team in red and white stripes in the PL. One of the reasons I prefer the geometry of our not trad red and white kits.

 

[saintrichie123]

Swansea should have had 1 back there.

 

[st_brendy]

Not just a horror tackle, but a completely needless one too.

Bit of a tough one that ..... his foot caught in the back of the Brentford players boot, which pulled him off balance and made it look worse. Probably reckless, I guess, but I thought VAR might have had a look at it, as it was fairly accidental .....

No VAR.

Indeed, a pretty bizarre entanglement. Amazed it wasn't overturned.

 

[davecg69]

No VAR.

Ah ..... I didn’t realise ..... of course ...... pity .... though, knowing VAR, they wouldn’t have overturned it

This is a Championship game so no VAR.

 

[tomw24]

No they wouldn't because it was a sending off.
