What's all the fuss about Darren Powell only did what most of the people who come on this site seem to want to do to Karleigh Osborne, admittedly Powelly could have picked a better time.

You mean yourself and a few other no-marks I presume? Also, could you use some punctuation marks if you're asking a question?

I think we can all agree it was unprofessional of DP, but with the stage of the season we are at and the winless (in relation to the rest of the season) run we had been on its easy to see how the pressure can get to some people. We clearly needed to get back to a winning mentality and although I do think KO will get better with age, he does need someone to reaffirm how important it is to concentrate and contribute solidly for a match. I did however think DP would have a better way of motivating the youngsters than using his fists...

Am not going to knock Karleigh, who is showing some improvement, but if he has played almost 80 games, I wouldn't compare him with Millen (who presumably reached that number at a younger age), who by then was looking one of our best ever (since I started in mid 60s) CBs. Karleigh is hovering around the "adequate league 2" level, and hopefully progressing beyond it

KO and Keith Millen do have something in common. They are both players who are/were picked week after week by their manger and most supporters simply cannot understand quite why. It is one of those quirks of football. You just have to accept that 1 or 2 names appear week after week no matter how bad they are. In my view Keth Millen was useless, even if he did turn out for Watford for ages after he left us. KO should have progressed to more than a hack League 2 player by now. KO should not be on the retained list at the end of the season.

I don't think that's fair on the ref tbh

I saw most of it and Powell had to go. Osborne should also have gone in my judgement and if it had been Fletcher and Powell they would both have been off. After Powell was dismissed the referee again spent some time with his assistant and Bennett was involved at length as skipper. I had braced myself for Osborne going too and there was relief when he only got a yellow. If it had been two Bournemouth players then I would have expected them both to be off and we would all have been saying that they got exactly what they deserved.

Here is an extract from Osborne's interview re the incident.

"I got off luckily. It’s all sorted now and we’re best mates again."

Fair enough Marky/abee. BBC London interviewer made it sound like the ref had been swindled by the Bournemouth players into thinking it was more serious.

Blimey, I knew I was getting old when my eyesight couldn't see the :fishing: smilie at the end of this post.

I've seen some useless players at GP over the past 30 years, but Keith Millen?

Fair point, but will be interested to see how many agree on Millen's "uselessness"... suspect a very exclusive club :nono:

There have been some useless Keiths. Joe Keith and Keith Bowen spring to mind.
But Millen joins Jones on the good Keiths list.

Keith Cassells. Freight Rover:love2: Definitely good Keiths list.

Rosie the rozer, I hated him at Oxford but loved the man at Brentford and when I asked him to score a couple at Exeter and he did just that, forever my hero:love2: :love2:

Millen was always a player who divided opinions especially as he played alongside a "legend". He had a seemingly laid back style of play in complete contrast to Tel who was very much a give all type of player that inevitably becomes a fans favourite.

For me Millen was a class player who made good defending look easy.

There is a similarity with Bennet and Phillips in many ways..

Fair point SH. On reflection using the word 'useless' to describe someone who played a hell of a lot of games for us was a bit harsh. Despite his long playing record, all in the lower divisions, I personally never found Keith Millen 'convincing', the majority obviously did. Alan Bennett is more than a notch or two up on KM in ability.

Probably as exclusive as the club that thinks that Murray Jones was the best goalscorer that ever played for the Bees.......

I may be corrected, as I have tried to erase him from memory, but I'm not sure that MJ ever actually scored a goal for us...

markbfc will confirm.

Sorry TW3Bee. Being a gloryhunter, I wasn't at Merthyr... if markbfc is able to confirm said goalscoring prowess I will take a leaf out of Mr. Brown's book and offer MJ an unreserved apology.

Not knocking Bennett, but no way, IMO. Millen was class, and his pairing with Evans was one of the best (if not the best) CH pairings I've seen at Brentford...

That is without doubt the biggest load of b***ocks i have ever read. Millen was ****ing class as showed when he won player of the year in 91-92 ahead of Deano.

Dear God

Jamie Bates and Keith Millen had some very iffy games when young players, but when onto be BEES legends. Most of Jamies were when he was filling in at RB.

Maybe just maybe if we give Osborne a chance he may develop into a BEES legend.

I can confirm as I was at the game - he did score. Still can`t believe I went to Merthyr for a friendly. Not a bad ground though.

Thanks Ace. You really are in an exclusive Bees club... those who saw MJ score. I think that should be a special premium category within the Customer Charter for all future ticket sales.

Were any of you at Chesham when he pleaded with Phil Holder to take him off because he was totally knackered?
And that was before the season started!

Who come beesworld or virginmedia missed the powell incident with Osbourne??? sitting on the near-side of the away stand missed incident had the nice sunshine in my eyes.
Think like most end of powell's association with brentford football club,may be a legend but, not the correct behaviour of a professional. Billy clarke's goal 100%,where did they get the information that that powell scored it was Sam wood who crossed.

You're being very generous to Sam Wood. It was a poor shot that Clarke somehow diverted in to the goal.:cool:

:yes: Short throw from from the right by Hunt to Newton, back to Hunt, cross into the box headed out by a Cherry, falls outside the D to Wood who has a shot but slips, ball deflected in by Clarke's head. Powell not involved.
