Final Score Brighton 2 Brentford 0 (20 Viewers)

[finsbury_bee]

We’re going backwards this season in style, discipline, etc.

 

[BaildonBee]

I was just celebrating the fact Igor had finally won a foul.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Might be the worst red I’ve seen

In what way?

It’s a stonewall red.
And more poor discipline.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Game over

 

[GlasgowBee]

Should have maybe sent both off, no need for the Brighton player to square up to Igor in the first place

 

[stomalomalus]

?? It's a forearm smash to the face.

Bollox it is. He pushes him away, and his arm rises up. He pushes him away because he's being assaulted. Utterly ridiculous.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Might be the worst red I’ve seen

It’s not. He shouldn’t react.

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

Stupid by Thiago. No other word for it. He’d won the free kick and then gave the ref a choice.

 

[CTBee]

We were struggling with 11, got no chance with 10.

 

[LongLostBee]

That’s not violent conduct. He’s trying to push him away and missed.

Obviously.
It’s letter of the law when it’s Brentford but nobody else.

 

[Ivan_Balakhonov]

I thought after Yarmo's red KA and coaches must have briefed the players to keep their hands in check if provoked. What a dumb red.

 

[Downbeat Bee]

We’re going backwards this season in style, discipline, etc.

The disciplinary record is clearly an issue. I can’t remember the last time it was.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Bollox it is. He pushes him away, and his arm rises up. He pushes him away because he's being assaulted. Utterly ridiculous.

It’s a stonewall red

Reacted like a child.

 

[Dribble chop]

Could be season defining, in a bad way

 

[Argus]

Wrong - goes to push him away from the confrontation. Letter of the law red but there isno way he meant to catch him where he did.

He followed through with his arm with force. Let's just have one refereeing decision where we don't act like victims.

 

[Justybfc]

Exactly what we need from Outtara as a running outlet. Reminds me of JDS dancing through defences

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

The disciplinary record is clearly an issue. I can’t remember the last time it was.

Agree. We have issues with this.

 

[SanFranciscoBee]

How hard is it to understand that everything is caught on camera?

 

[gj]

Our discipline is so bad its getting silly

 

[Eieieio]

it’s such a weak red card. If you want to view it in slow motion then sure, but that’s literally just a push of the arm that rides, he in no way means to strike him in the face.

 

[NickThe(Half)Greek]

In that passage of play just there with Kayode and then Dango bringing the ball out, there could have been 3 yellow cards for Brighton players.

 

[stevendamico]

Well... Let's at least to try to keep our goal differential decent..

 

[davebee]

I thought after Yarmo's red KA and coaches must have briefed the players to keep their hands in check if provoked. What a dumb red.

Yarmo used his head not his hands!!!

 

[Harrison]

I have no words other than what a complete f***ing idiot thiago is, keep yourself level headed and dont bite ffs

 

[Argus]

Bollox it is. He pushes him away, and his arm rises up. He pushes him away because he's being assaulted. Utterly ridiculous.

Assaulted Would you say the same if the roles were flipped here?

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Sorry but if that was a Brighton player on Thiago and wasn’t sent off there would be an absolute meltdown on here. It’s as clear as a red as you’ll ever see.

 

[Beestaps]

I might be blinded by the fact it against us but I cannot see a red there, pushed him away with his arm and it slipped up and caught him. Not with force really either.

 

[CTBee]

How many times are our players going to get sent off for "soft violent conduct". Schade last season, Yarmo and now Thiago.

Need to keep our discipline and our heads.

 

[ladbroke]

Someone check on Chema. Hope hes ok

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Absolutely fkn stupid. He’d just won the free kick. Don’t suppose he’d wag his index finger and point to the sky…

 

[Oceanbee]

That would never happen to Arsenal, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool etc…

Why do we get that Brighton player fouling all over Thiago.

KA needs to tell our team that we are always going to get punished for anything where we retaliate near the head, whereas others don’t as we know.

 

[shaun]

Well. Thiago has to go but on what basis can a player jump up, stick his face into someone’s face and not expect a reaction? Is that where football is?

 

[Hippobee]

Michael Oliver has to be the worst official in the league... I dont think I've ever seen him be fair to us.

Oh give over. I can't take much more of this blinkered nonsense from those that can't see what's in plain sight.

That is a red all day from Igor and Ajer's yellow was correct.

People can blame refs all they want but our physicality/stupidity is making it easy for refs. If Keith puts his fingers in his ears and doesn't address it, it will keep happening.

We can be physical without being foolish - unfortunately, we aren't managing to do that.

 

[londonlegal]

I think after the pulling and shoving followed by the guy jumping up and hitting my face with his head, pushing him away is the least I would do.
We’ve removed common sense from refs: a yellow each and get on with the game.

 

[NickThe(Half)Greek]

Thiago invites the red card by his retaliation. There’s no excuse for it. We do seem to have a problem controlling our discipline this season and it will cost us massively.

 

[Oceanbee]

Someone check on Chema. Hope hes ok

 

[Hullbee]

Brilliant, thats 3 matches isnt it?

Everton, Man United, Arsenal up next

Let’s see if the numpty is able to regain his first team spot as easily as he lost it

 

[damsgard.szn]

stop. You know we’d be f***ing crying out for a red if the shirts were switched.

 

[aslan]

That's never a red card

 

[TW3Bee]

Both of our straight red cards this season have been soft.
Both were reds, but if you're going to get sent off make sure the other one goes off too.

 

[Untouchable]

Just remember folks, if you’re Gabriel you get to headbutt Haaland without punishment and if you’re Madueke you get to headbutt MacAllister without punishment and if you’re Cole Palmer you get to slam into the head of Fernandes with so much force that you rock his head back.

A narrative is created that we’re physical and all of a sudden what is obviously accidental and is seen by the referee and dealt with all of a sudden ends in a 3 match ban.

 

[FJBee]

I'm sorry, but he's not in the wrong at all. He was assaulted and pushed him off. Because his arm rose up, he's sent off? The Brighton player instigated, he caused everything. I will defend Igor to the hilt here.

Teams seem to have picked up on it. I don’t think it’s a coincidence we’ve seen Yarmo and Thiago both sent off for basically nothing.

It’s harsh on the players and us but we’ve got to smarten up now because it’s costing us far too much.

 

[doctor_bee(MBBS)]

As soon as the replay was shown, he was off. Can’t argue with that, and ridiculous too, as if the challenge of Brighton wasn’t hard enough already.
These players should realise that with VAR, none of these actions get missed now, as soon as the player goes down, that’s it.

 

[lanzabee]

Got to get cuter about the way matches are reffed these days. Self inflicted problems.

 

[belvederebee]

Thiago showing no contrition as he goes off after pretty obvious red.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Let’s see if the numpty is able to regain his first team spot as easily as he lost it

There’s nobody else!

 

[maddogging]

This is on Andrews, this line up and formation was a f***ing white flag waving joke before we even started !

 

[Hullbee]

There’s nobody else!

Let’s wait and see maybe some tactical changes required might be better off without him

 

[A Real Mysteron]

That's never a red card

Can you imagine if an opponent hadn’t been red carded for it?

sh*t ref.
Anti-Brentford bias.

Out victim culture on here is getting really tedious.

 

[Andy_Mc_is_God]

I'm sorry, but he's not in the wrong at all. He was assaulted and pushed him off. Because his arm rose up, he's sent off? The Brighton player instigated, he caused everything. I will defend Igor to the hilt here.

And shoved his head into Thiago’s chin (uppercut-style). Not a lot but neither was Igor’s push.
Utter bo!!ocks.
Just like Ajer’s early yellow.
We’re easy targets.
